Setting the bass level: Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired bass level (7~+7).
You can emphasize or weaken the bass frequency.
Turn the Rotary encoder until the desired sound is obtained in each mode.
By setting Defeat ON, previously adjusted settings of BASS, TREBLE and EQ will return to the factory defaults and MX is turned off.
If no operation is performed within 15 seconds, the bass control setting will be turned off automatically. The bass level settings will be individually memorized for each source (FM, MW (LW), CD, etc.) until the setting is changed. The bass frequency and bass band width settings adjusted for one source are effective for all other sources (FM, MW (LW), CD etc.). Depending on the connected devices, some functions and display indications do not work. However, bass level is still adjustable if an audio processor with the bass adjustment is connected. This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON. *2 Selecting any of the Setting the Bass Type (TYPE 1 through 3), temporarily replaces the custom settings you have made above. When you press DISP/B.OUT on the CDA-9812RX, you can switch the level Indicator display to the BASS adjustment display. For details, see Changing the Audio Level Display Pattern (page 7).
Depending on the connected devices, some functions and display indications do not work. When you press DISP/B.OUT, you can switch the Level Indicator display to the AUDIO Adjustment display only on the CDA9815RB/CDA-9813R/CDA-9812RX.

This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON. When you press DISP/B.OUT on the CDA-9812RX, you can switch the level Indicator display to the TREBLE adjustment display. For details, see Changing the Audio Level Display Pattern (page 7).

Crossover:

This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed. The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows). Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please consult your authorized Alpine dealer.
Press EQ to select the EQ mode. Press and hold EQ for at least 2 seconds. Press BAND/TEL. to select your desired frequency band.

The frequencies of adjacent bands cannot be adjusted within 4 steps. EQ mode is automatically cancelled if no buttons are pressed within 15 seconds. This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON (page 17). When you press DISP/B.OUT, you can switch the Level Indicator display to the EQ Adjustment display.

*1 Subwoofer speaker. CDA-9812RX/CDA-9811R only You cannot change the Time Correction value for the subwoofer, but you can set the subwoofer's apparent position to the front by adjusting the Time Correction value of the front and rear speakers. For details, refer to the *1 on page 22. The sound is not balanced because the distance between the listening position and the various speakers is different. The difference in distance between the front left speaker and the rear right speaker is 1.75 m (68-7/8"). Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram on the above.
Conditions: Farthest Speaker listening position : 2.25 m (88-9/16") Front left speaker listening position : 0.5 m (19-11/16") Calculation: L = 2.25 m 0.5 m = 1.75 m (68-7/8") Time correction = 1.75 343*= 5.1 (ms)
Recalling the Stored Crossover Settings (CDA-9815RB/CDA-9813R only)

Press T.CORR/X-OVER to return to normal mode.

About Time Correction

*2 Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20C In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker. Time correction eliminates the differences in the time required for the sound to reach the listening position. The time of the front left speaker is corrected by 5.1 ms so that its sound reaches the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the sound reaching the listeners right versus the left ear. To correct this, the CDA-9815RB/CDA-9813R/CDA-9812RX/CDA9811R is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging. The adjustment will be made for each speaker in 0.1 ms steps.

Time Difference (ms) Time Difference (ms) 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Delay Number 40 - Time Difference (ms) 2.8 2.9 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.0 - 9.8 9.9
Example setting for steps 2 and 3
(1) Press BAND/TEL. to select the front (left and right) speakers. Then turn the Rotary encoder to select 1.5 ms (Delay no. 15 in the table). The time difference is 1.5 ms for both front (left and right speakers.
Adjusting and Storing the Time Correction (Storing available on CDA-9815RB/CDA-9813R only)
Before performing the following procedures, refer to About Time Correction (page 21).

Setting the MX Mode

MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The radio, CD, and MP3, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.
Press T.CORR/X-OVER to make time corrections.
Each press changes the mode as follows:
Bass Focus mode Time Correction mode normal mode Bass Focus mode
Press MX to select MX ON. Press SOURCE/POWER to select the source to which you want to apply MX (Media Xpander). Press and hold MX for at least 2 seconds to activate the level setting mode. Turn the Rotary encoder to select your preferred level or OFF.
Press BAND/TEL. to select a speaker to be adjusted.

FM (MX level 1 to 3): The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces well balanced sound at all frequencies. CD (MX level 1 to 3): CD mode processes a large quantity of data. This data processing power takes advantage of CD quality sound sources. MP3/WMA/DAB (MX level 1 to 3): This corrects information that was lost at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original. DVD (Video CD) (MOVIE MX level 1 to 2): The dialogue portion of a video is reproduced more clearly. (MUSIC MX level 1): A DVD or Video CD contains a large quantity of data such as music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound accurately. AUX (MX level 1): Choose the MX mode (MP3, MUSIC, or MOVIE) that corresponds to the media connected. If two external devices are connected, a different MX mode for each media can be selected.
Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the desired time correction value.
To store the adjusted contents (CDA-9815RB/CDA-9813R only) 1) Press and hold any one of the preset buttons (1 through 6) for at least 2 seconds into which you wish to store the adjusted contents.
Repeat step 2 and 3 to set another speaker.
If no operation is performed in 15 seconds, the unit returns to normal mode.
