IMPRINT Operation (Optional)

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. When the IMPRINT audio processor (PXA-H100) (sold separately) is connected to this unit, MultEQ and the following sound adjustment can be performed.

To display the IMPRINT Setup Menu screen:

Your vehicle must be parked with the ignition key in the ACC or ON position. To do this, follow the procedures below.

1Bring your vehicle to a complete stop at a safe location. Engage the parking brake.

2Keep pushing the foot brake and release the parking brake once then engage it again.

3When the parking brake is engaged for the second time, release the foot brake.

For automatic transmission vehicles, place the transmission lever in the Park position.

Now, the locking system for the IMPRINT mode operation has been released. Engaging the parking brake can reactivate the IMPRINT Setup Menu, as long as the car’s ignition has not been turned off. It is not necessary to repeat the above procedure (1 through 3) of “To display the IMPRINT mode screen.”

Each time the ignition is turned OFF, perform the procedure of “To display the IMPRINT mode screen.”

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.
