Alpine PXA-H800

Thats still a step back from full control over every function like the 203 and 505 have with the H701. Also it dont see any mention otherwise so its safe to assume that since it also uses imprint for auto tune that there will be next to no user fine tuning alowed after imprint is run? That alone is the reason i went with the H701 over imprint in the first place.

I cant even tell you how happy I am to see that Alpine has finally listened to reason and come out with an updated version of its famed H700/H701 processor! It looks like a sweet unit, I cant wait to get my hands on it and give it a serious listening to!

Yes it does in fact use the imprint system but everything is completely tweakable by the end user. This thread on diyma has answers to nearly all the questions people have: New Alpine PXA-H701 replacement on the horizon!! - DIYMA.com

It seems your right about the tweakin to the imprint scan but it also states that control via and double din will be limited to fade and balance, everything else has to be set via the controller or computer....boo to that. There reason behind it is so that people cant mess up there and blame the installer.

This is a post from the alpine rep in the DIYMA thread posted earlier.
Once you disconnect from the PC, the presets are saved in the H800 and the W910 will be able to adjust:
1) Presets - need to be saved from the PC Software
2) Balance/Fader - pressing the "speaker" soft button on the Audio screen of the W910 will bring you to the balance fade screen
3) sub Level
That's it without the RUX. The real intention (and it won't ring true with most here as we are crazy tweakophiles) was to give the installer/shop the ability to tune the car, set the various presets and give the customer the control he needs without the ability to change the tune, so doesn't come back and say "I didn't touch anything but my tweeters are blown...and the shop[or mfg] is stuck with the bill" or something along those lines when you give them too much control of everything.
As for me in the exact opposite, i would much rather not have to pull out a controller to tweak and would much rather have it integrated like the 701 was with the 205/505. alot easier for me to adjust settings on a 7inch screen then it is a little single din screen
Also this tidbit is the most appealing to me
The H800 does not use Audyssey tech this time around, this is our new ImprintEQ developed by our Japan HQ team. It has significantly more resolution, especially in the mid and lower bass, plus it has user definable/adjustable target curves.
The H800 also has Euphony, which acts similarly to Logic7 in that it can create surround sound from a 2ch source
So there you have it , its a totally new imprint system and they ditched audyssey and there is the only reason you can tweak after imprint. Audyssey is very about lettin you play with there curves even in the home enviroment.
All in all sounds like a nice addittion
