Installation
Caution before Installing
Install the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER programme before connecting the PXA-H 100 to yow' personal computer./fthe programme is installed when the PXA-HIOO connected to the pc, the programme may malfunction.

Operating System

This Programme runs under Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack-2 only. Make sure that this operating system is installed by referring to "System Properties" on your Pc. To use this programme, Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 (or later) is required. If this application is not installed on your PC, the application is automatically installed with the programme.

Installing

Before installing, all active programmes must be stopped.
Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. Run the setup.exe file in the IMPRINT folder. Follow the installation instructions on the screen. Run the USB_setup.exe file in the DRIVER folder. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. After completing the installation, restart your PC.

Connections

Before calibrating MultEQ, all other system connections must be complete and functional.
Install the IMPRINT compatible Alpine head unit (sold after November, 2007) and PXA-H100 into the vehicle.
Make the correct connection. For details, refer to the Owner's Manual of PXA-H100.
After completing all system connections, make sure that sound is output from all speakers. Connect the USB Cable and Microphone to the PXA-H100. Connect the USB Cable to a USB port of your PC.

Check all connections, start the MultEQ calibration.
Before Calibrating MullEQ

~ WARNING

While driving, do not set up MuItEQ.
NEVER try to calibrate MultEQ while driving. Road noise and vibration prevents any measurement from being anywhere close to accurate. Mic placement and the measurement test tone are critical to the accurate calibration of MultEQ. The slightest movement while driving and passengers sitting in the car (including the driver) all contribute to poor acoustical characterization. While all this is going on, the possibility of being distracted and causing an accident, is too obvious to even mention. Don't do it!
Read following provisions before calibrating MuItEQ.
Calibrate MultEQ in a setting with no background noises (or, at least very little). Turn off the engine, airconditioner, heater and anything else that could make noises during testing. For example, a phone (any type as long as it can make noises to attract your attention) or dog (any breed for the same reason) shouldn't be left in or around the vehicle. Any extraneous noises prevent accurate characterization of the vehicle. Use only the microphone supplied with this unit for calibration. It has been specifically selected for optimum performance during the calibration procedure. If amplifiers are being used to drive any of the speakers in the system, make sure the gains are set at optimum levels for normal listening. Additional adjustments may be required if initial calibration is not satisfactory. If an amplifier is being used to drive satellites in a 2-way system (satellite/subwoofer), the high-pass filter used for the satellite amplifier must be turned off before running MultEQ calibration. If a low-pass filter is built into a powered subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier, turn it off (if possible) or set the cut-off frequency to the highest possible value. Once MultEQ calibration is completed, MX, X-OVER, Time Correction, User's EQ, Parametric EQ and Graphic EQ are adjusted according to MultEQ's parameters. While MultEQ is on, they cannot be adjusted independently. Storing the MultEQ settings in the PXA-H I 00 erases any data previously saved from earlier calibrations.

MultEQ Calibration

Preparing for calibration
Park the vehicle in a quiet location, Close doors, windows, sunroof, etc, Turn off the engine of the vehicle. Set the air-conditioner and heater to OFF.

Turn ignition switch of the vehicle to ACC (on).
If an air-conditioner or heater is turned on, turn it off. Measurement should not be performed if air-conditioner or heater noise is present.
Activate IMPRINT Sq,UND MANAGER installed on the PC, and then select PXAH100.
Strictlv obsen'e the Warnings and Cautions written by the manufacturers (~fyour PC and peripheral equipment. We do not accept responsibility for data lost due to the incorrect operation of the 1MPRINT SOUND MANAGER. We recommend you to back-up your important data regularly.
Place the Measurement Microphone in the vehicle according to the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER on screen instructions. Start the measurement.
Pe/form PC operation outside the vehicle. Ilall error occurs during calibration. refer to the "Message List" at the end of this manual to help resolve the problem. Close the dialog box by double-clicking the OK button to exit the programme.
From the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER screen, double-click the Area Selection to be measured.
Follow the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER on screen display for placement of the calibration microphone. Place the microphone in a vertical position, at ear level (a camera tripod is useful for this purpose).
When microphone placement is complete, get out of the vehicle, and close all doors, windows and sunroof. Then, start measurement by double-clicking the Measure button on the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER screen. Do not open the doors until "Complete" is displayed on the screen and signal sound is output from the speakers and sound characteristics are measured in the vehicle. If noise enters from outside during measurement, "Error" will be displayed on the screen. If displayed, measure again by double-clicking the Measure button.
Peljonn PC operation outside the vehicle. Rell1ol'ing the microphone during calibration ma}' cause an error.
After measuring the first microphone position, move the microphone to the next location indicated by the on the screen graphic. Repeat the procedure in step 7 following the on screen instructions.
Pre!,onning measurement from two locations in the car should be su./ficient. If you want to finish (titer two measuremelltlocations, double-clicking the Result button, and move to the Tw'!?et Curl'e setting. For more precise measurement, 6 measurement locations are available; however, it will take approx. 20 minutes until all MultEQ measurements have been completed. In this case, be sure to peljrmn MultEQ measurement with the vehicle connected to a car battery charger.

After all desired mic position measurements are complete, double-click the Result button to make the Target Curve selection. This curve sets the overall sound characteristics of the system. Select the Target Curve Select from the on screen choices.
The measurement data cannot be stored on the PC hard disc, but can be memorized in the PXA -H100.
10 After selecting a Target curve, double-click the Send Filter button to transfer the
settings to the PXA-H100. Choose either Curve Memory 1 or Curve Memory 2 to store in PXA-H100 memory.
You can slOre two curve settings for one measurement result.
11 If you are not satisfied with the measurement result, you can start from the procedure
in step 7 by double-clicking the He-Measure button.
I(you fJelform the measurement again using the Re-Measure button, note that the previously stored settings ill the PXA-H 100 will be cleared and replaced by the new one.
12 When the memory setting is complete, click x on the right side of the screen and
double-clicking OK on the EXIT screen to close the IMPRINT SOUND MANAGER programme.
13 After you have finished the MultEQ calibration, disconnect the USB Cable from the

PXA-H100.

14 Now, relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour with the newly, IMPRINT optimized
system. By turning MultEQ on and off with this just calibrated Alpine head unit, the benefits of calibration are obvious.
For details on operating this IMPRINT compatible Alpine head unit, refer to its Owner's Manual.
