Adjusting Balance/Fade on Alpine CDA-9853??

So the manual says to 'Press the Rotary encoder(MODE) repeatedly to choose the desired mode'.

However, when I do this, nothing happens. It almost sounds like it is missing a step. Anyone know how I can go about adjusting these settings? So far I am disliking the confusing menu system.

 
turn the defeat off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif if you push in the volume nob a few times, it will say defeat or deft or something of that nature. make sure it is OFF. i'd bet it is turned on, disabling all of those functions.

Hmm, I tried pushing the volume button several times, and nothing happened.

different model, i dont think it works that way.

 
i have a 9855 and when you push in the vol nob it goes to sub, balance, and defeat (i have no fader because it is in 3way mode). when i go out to my car next i'll double check, but i'm about 99% sure when the defeat is turned on you can't access balance/fader.

and personally, i haven't had any issues with the glidetouch bar. then again, i never really use it. once you have the crossovers and stuff set up right, then the only thing i really use is the volume nob, and the 4 buttons to the left of it.

 
Very strange, pushing in the volume button does nothing for me. Could it be something to do with me being in AUX mode at the time? I can try it later on FM or CD.

The button definitely works too, because if I go into the glidetouch menu and hold it down for a few seconds, it beeps once.

Isn't raining right now, but it probably will later in the day. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Well, I tried it again, and now it works. I think it was disabled once I selected Subwoofer Off. When I enabled the subwoofer now I can get to the rest of the settings.

It also seems kind of picky, it will only come up if I hold down the volume for about 1-2 seconds, anything more or less won't work.

 
take it back where you got it and have them replace it with a new one. sounds like something isn't working right. you should just have to tap it and it go through all the stuff, you shouldn't have to hold it.
