Eclipse CD7200 MKII time align help

Post by cool mr grinch »

I need some help with the time alignment, my old kenwood deck asked for distance measurement in feet and inches, this deck is asking for milliseconds. how do i convert distance to milliseconds?

and holyshit its got alot of adjustments.

i found some info on DIY i'm gonna try.

look in the manual on the eclipse web site.

It tells you how to measure it all out, and convert to MS

How is the screen? Easy to see? Attractive? Reflective?

the screen is nice clean but plain, its like an older style dot matrix but with finer dots and no colors, its basically gray and white. it does have an active display. glare i cant say yet, car is in the garage, but i seem to have less problems reading whats on this screen compared to my old kenwood unit and even the alpine unit, i'll post some pics later, i'm still playing with sound.

the bluetooth in this think is freakin awesome, i called 2 people to check clarity and i was very impressed with both, it limits the system to only the front sound stage and is very clear, i laid my blackberry in my center console and they could still hear me clear. sound from the system is nice as i am learning to adjust, there are alot of settings, bass is powerful, still working with mids and highs to get ear pleasing clarity. i turned my amps all the way down and back up maybe a quarter turn, preout voltage seems to be adjustable. here are 2 pics.

i'll go see exactly how i switched it and let you know.

when you go into S/A you choose either vertical or horizontal S/A and hold enter for a couple seconds, then it should work.
