Alpine introduces IMPRINT - the world’s first technology that
thoroughly eliminates in-car acoustic problems that normally degrade
sound quality, which enables us to experience music the way the artist
intended, refer to “About IMPRINT” (
page 35).
When the IMPRINT-BOX (PXA-H100) (sold separately) is connected
to this unit, MultEQ and the following sound adjustment can be
performed.
Changing MultEQ mode
MultEQ, developed by Audyssey Labs, automatically corrects the audio
for the listening environment. The system is optimized for selected
positions in the vehicle. To accomplish this, MultEQ must take
measurements of the vehicles response characteristics. For details on the
set up procedure, consult your authorized Alpine dealer.
Press and hold IMPRINT for at least 2 seconds to
change MultEQ mode.
