Automatic Adjustments  
Preparations for automatic adjustments  
The PXI-H990 is equipped with two automatic adjustment functions: “Road Equalizer” and  
Automated Time Correction”.  
The preparations described below must be made in order to perform these automatic adjustments.  
After making these preparations, refer to “Automatic adjustments (Using the Road Equalizer  
function)” (page 15) and “Performing time correction automatically (Automated Time Correction)”  
(page 21) to perform the respective automatic adjustments.  
When performing automatic adjustment, set the head unit to the TUNER mode before adjusting.  
1 Check that the head unit defeat mode is off.  
2 Adjust the head unit and amplifier levels.  
Head unit:  
Set the balance and fader to “center”.  
Front, rear and center amplifiers:  
Set the amp gains to “center” or “normal” to start. If there are no rear  
speakers, check that the rear speakers are turned off. (See page 7.) Gain  
levels may be changed if you are not satisfied with the automatic results.  
Make the gain changes and return the automatic adjustment.  
Subwoofer amplifier:  
Set the amplifier gain to “center” or “normal”. If the subwoofer is located in  
the trunk or a remote place (for example at the very back of a station  
wagon), adjust the subwoofer to increase the volume several steps.  
Speaker Crossovers:  
Set the crossovers for all the speakers in the system that will require them.  
See page 42, “Crossover adjustment/Switching the phase”, for more  
information on setting the crossovers.  
12-EN  
3 Connect the included microphone to the PXI-H990.  
Refer to the Installation manual.  
When combined with a separately sold monitor that is Road EQ compatible and the Road  
Equalizer function are used, the separately sold monitors built-in microphone can be  
used.  
When connecting two PXI-H990 units, connect the microphone to both units. In this case,  
the built-in microphone in the separately sold monitor cannot be used.  
4 Secure the microphone in place.  
Failure to fix the microphone securely in place may result in distortion or  
improper acoustic positioning. The microphone must be mounted very  
securely so the bass frequencies will not vibrate it. For example, fasten  
using the fitting included with the sun visor, etc.  
The adjustment differs according to the position  
If the partition is a metal sheet,  
open a hole in the rear tray.  
If you encounter a problem,  
consult your authorized dealer.  
of the microphone. Search for the position at which  
the desired sound quality can be achieved.  
The proper adjustments cannot be achieved if the  
subwoofer is located in the trunk and the trunk and  
cabin are separated by a metal sheet. Either move  
the subwoofer into the cabin or open a hole in the  
rear tray to join the two spaces. (This is not necessary  
if the partition is not a metal sheet.)  
Is the partition a  
metal sheet?  
Or move the subwoofer  
into the cabin.  
Do not disconnect the microphone during the automatic adjustment procedure.

Performing time correction automatically  
(Automated Time Correction)  
Due to the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there is a major difference between the distances  
of the various speakers and the listening position. This function uses the included measurement  
microphone to automatically measure and analyze the distances between the speakers and the  
listening position and perform the optimum time correction.  
Preparations must be made before performing the automatic adjustment procedure. Refer

The PXI-H990s automatic adjustments take into account the delay time between the time  
at which the signals are input to the speakers until the sound is output. This does not  
correspond to the actual distance.  
With the automatic adjustments, the average delay time within the speakersplayable  
frequency range is measured. Measurements may not be possible when using special  
speakers or in special playback environments. If this is the case, perform the adjustments  
manually.  
The AUTO TCR operation cannot be performed if the included microphone is not  
connected.  
When performing automatic adjustment, set the head unit to the TUNER mode before  
adjusting.  
1 Before starting the automatic adjustment procedure, park the vehicle in a  
quiet place to avoid the effects of external sounds.  
2 Set the vehicles key to the ACC position.  
Do not start the engine. The vibrations may make it impossible to achieve  
the proper adjustment values.  
3 Adjust the volume.  
Adjust the volume to -50dBby performing the volume adjustment opera-  
tion on the head unit.

Performing time correction manually (Time  
Correction)  
Though sufficient correction can be achieved with the “Automated Time Correction” automatic  
adjustments, it is also possible for the user to calculate the correction values and make the  
adjustments manually. This manual adjustment requires sufficient knowledge and experience,  
however, so we suggest you have it performed at your authorized Alpine dealer.  
1 Check that the head unit defeat mode is off.  
2 Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for example) and measure the  
distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.  
3 Calculate the difference in distance between the farthest speaker and the  
other speakers.  
L = (distance of farthest speaker) – (distance of other speakers)  
26-EN  
4 Divide the distances calculated for the different speakers by the speed of  
sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C).  
This value is the time correction value for the different speakers.  
The speed of sound fluctuates according to the temperature. The accurate speed of sound  
can be achieved with the formula shown below.  
Speed of sound = 331.45 + C × T  
C: 0.607  
T: Temperature (°C)  
• Concrete examples  
1. Calculating the time correction value for the front left speaker on the diagram below.  
Conditions:  
Distance between farthest speaker and listening position: 2.25 m (88-3/4")  
Distance between front left speaker and listening position: 0.5 m (20")  
Calculation: L = 2.25 m (88-3/4") 0.5 m (20") = 1.75 m (68-3/4")  
Compensation time = 1.75 ÷ 343 × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)  
In other words, setting the time correction value for the front left speaker to 5.1 (ms)  
sets a virtual distance matching the distance to the farthest speaker.  
5.1ms  
0.5m  
2.25m  
The sound is uneven because the distance  
between the listening position and the  
different speakers is different.  
The difference in the distance between the  
front left and rear right speakers is 1.75  
meters (68-3/4").  
Time correction eliminates the difference  
between the time required for the sound  
from the different speakers to reach the  
listening position.  
Setting the time correction of the front left  
speaker to 5.1 ms makes it possible to  
coordinate the distance from the listening  
position to the speaker.

Equalizer adjustments  
The PXI-H990 is equipped with a graphic equalizer and parametric equalizer. You can set the  
Equalizer to whatever values you want.  
Graphic equalizer  
The level of the front, rear and center channels can be adjusted separately for 31 bands and the  
subwoofer can be adjusted for 10 bands (a total of 206 bands) to achieve the desired sound field.  
Parametric equalizer  
The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it very difficult to correct for  
undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies. The parametric equalizers center frequency can  
be tuned these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are fine-tuned, independ-  
ently, to make the necessary corrections. The parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for  
serious audiophiles.  
This adjustment is easier when test signals such as pink noise are used. For information  
on test signals, consult your authorized Alpine dealer.  
Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers before making the  
equalizer adjustments. If the speakers playable frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for  
example, adjusting the 40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload  
and damage the speakers.  
Once the settings have been made, we recommend storing them in the memory. See page  
93 for instructions.  
If you combine with a head unit (DVI-9990) or monitor (TMI-M990) (both sold sepa-  
rately), you can adjust the equalizer while viewing the adjusted contents on the monitor  
screen. (See Equalizer adjustment (when DVI-9990/TMI-M990 is connected), page 99).

sated above 16 kHz.

Crossover network  
The PXI-H990 is equipped with an active dividing network allowing the bands to be split before  
amplification by the power amplifier.  
Because of this, there is no need for a passive network between the speakers and amplifiers and the  
amplifiers are fully independent, thus eliminating the problem of interference and making it  
possible to achieve the optimum acoustic space by dividing the playback frequencies in a way  
suited to the capacities of the speakers.  
This adjustment requires special knowledge and experience. Should problems arise, please see your  
authorized Alpine dealer.  
Adjust the high pass filter (H.P.F.) and low pass filter (L.P.F.) and set the slope  
(filter response attenuation slope) for the different bands.  
Make the adjustments according to the playable frequency ranges and  
frequency responses of the connected speakers.

The crossover network is a filter that divides specific frequency bands.  
The high pass filter is a filter that cuts frequencies below a certain frequency (bass frequencies)  
and lets through treble frequencies.  
The low pass filter is a filter that cuts frequencies above a certain frequency (treble frequencies)  
and lets through bass frequencies.  
The slope is a value expressing the attenuation of the signal in decibels when the frequency is  
increased or decreased by one octave.  
The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope.  
If the slope is set to “OFF”, the signal does not pass through the filter, so there is no effect.  
In order to protect the speakers, the front high range high pass filter cannot be turned off (the  
slope cannot be set to “OFF”).  
For the same reason, the subwoofer low pass filter cannot be turned off (the slope cannot be set  
to “OFF”).  
Tweeters may be damaged if low frequency signals are input to them.

Hint for adjusting the subwoofer  
If the subwoofer is installed on the rear deck, setting  
a gentle L.P.F. slope (for example 6 dB/oct.) makes  
the sound localization more to the rear. This can also  
affect the acoustic localization of the front.  
Hints for adjusting the high range  
Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency  
component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the  
H.P.F. adjustment could result in distortion. If so,  
set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct.).  
When doing so, adjust so that the mid and high range  
sounds do not separate.  
Normally use with the L.P.F. off. If the high range is  
too strong, we recommend adjusting for a gentle  
slope.  
Hint for adjusting the low range  
When a subwoofer is connected and you are using a  
speaker with a low range of under 10 or 12 cm (3-15/  
16" or 4-3/4"), setting the low range H.P.F. to OFF”  
can result in distortion when low frequency  
components are input.  
If so, set the H.P.F. slope to a value suited for the  
speakers frequency response.

In reality the time difference depends not only on the  
difference in physical distance but also on the delay time  
between the time at which the signals are input to the  
speakers until the sound is output. This delay time depends  
on the speaker, and may also be somewhat affected on how  
the speaker is mounted on the vehicle. After making the

Terminology  
DTS  
This is a home-use digital sound  
format of the DTS Sound System. This  
is a high quality sound system,  
developed by Digital Theater Systems,  
Inc. for use in movie theaters.  
DTS has six independent sound tracks.  
The theater presentation is fully  
realized in the home and other  
settings. DTS is the abbreviation for  
Digital Theater Systems.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is a digital audio  
compression technology developed by  
Dolby Laboratories that allows large  
quantities of audio data to be efficiently  
recorded on discs. It is compatible with  
audio signals from mono (1 channel)  
all the way up to 5.1-channel surround  
sound. The signals for the different  
channels are completely independent,  
and since the sound is high quality  
digital there is no loss of sound quality.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II provides  
multichannel surround sound from any  
2 channel source. It reproduces  
extended bandwidth playback with 5.1  
channels. This is made possible by an  
advanced matrix surround decoder.  
This new decoder is able to draw out  
spatial characteristics of the recording  
without adding tonal coloration or  
artificial delays that did not exist in the  
original.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)  
LPCM is a signal recording format  
used for music CDs. Whereas music  
CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits,  
DVDs are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to  
96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving  
higher sound quality than music CDs.

Dolby Digital EX  
Dolby Digital EX is a technology that  
creates full-bandwidth output in  
programs from 5.1 channels to 6  
channels. Using a matrix decoder, 3  
surround channels are extracted from  
the signals that are recorded on the 2  
channels of the program. Use this  
function with Dolby Digital surround  
EX movie soundtracks to bring out  
optimum effects in the Dolby Digital  
EX playback mode.  
DTS-ES  
DTS-ES is a technology that  
reproduces 6.1 channel surround  
sound. DTS-ES has 2 modes,  
Discrete, in which the sound of 6.1  
channels is all recorded  
independently, and Matrix, in which  
6.1 channels is created from the  
sound of 5.1 channels. These modes  
are switched automatically  
corresponding to the number of  
recording channels.  
DTS Neo:6  
DTS Neo:6 reproduces a 2-channel  
source in 6 channels. This creates a  
natural sound stage, preserving the  
details of the original.
