WARNING

PRECAUTIONS

Never Attempt the Following

Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the player by the automatic reloading mechanism. Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is off.

Inserting Discs

Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not attempt to load more than one disc. Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc. Your player will automatically eject any disc that is inserted incorrectly. If the player continues to eject a correctly inserted disc, push the Reset switch with a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen. Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in skips, but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.

New Discs

As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming, the CD player will automatically eject discs with irregular surfaces or inserted incorrectly. When a new disc is inserted into the player and ejected after initial loading, using your finger, feel around the inside of the centre hole and outside edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps or irregularities, this could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside edge of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then insert the disc again.

Centre Hole

New Disc

Correct Handling

Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc by its edge so that no fingerprints are left on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.

CORRECT

INCORRECT

CORRECT

Disc Cleaning

Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the CD player to skip. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface with a clean, soft cloth from the centre of the disc to the outer edge. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent before cleaning the disc.

Disc Accessories

There are various accessories available on the market for protecting the disc surface and improving sound quality. However, most of them will influence the thickness and/or diameter of the disc. Using such accessories can cause the disc to be out of standard specifications and may create operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine CD players.

Bumps

Outside (Bumps)

Irregular Shaped Discs

Be sure to use round shape discs only for this unit and never use any special shape discs. Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

Installation Location

Make sure the CDA-7998R will not be installed in a location subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

About the Crossover

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).

• Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.

• The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.

• Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.

• Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as it may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency

content.

• You cannot adjust the crossover frequency higher than the HPF or lower than the LPF.

About the Time Correction

The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the special conditions of the mobile environment. 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 listener’s right versus the left ear. To correct this, the CDA-7998R 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 a step of

0.1 ms.

Example 1. Listening Position: Front Left Seat

Adjust the time correction level of the front left speaker to a high value and the rear right to zero or a low value.

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram at the left. 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

*Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C

In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if the distance to the front left speaker is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker.

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").

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.

Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats

Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

× 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

1 Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and

measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.

2 Calculate the difference between the distance to the

farthest speaker and the other speakers. L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other

speakers)

0.5m

2.25m

3 Divide the distances calculated for the speakers by the

5.1ms

∗

speed of sound (343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C). These values are the time correction values for the different speakers.

Tips

* Subwoofer speaker.

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 "Tips" on page 12.

(2) After entering corrections for the left (front and rear)

About MP3

CAUTION

Except for personal enjoyment, duplicating audio data (including MP3 data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without the permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.

• What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is "MPEG Audio Layer 3", is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.

MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing the audio data at extremely high ratios shrinking music files by as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.

• Method for creating MP3 files

The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or free from various sources. For details on creating MP3 files, refer to the user's manual for that software. The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have the file extension "mp3." Files with no extension cannot be played back.

• Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

Sampling rates: 32 kHz - 44.1 kHz, bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps Note that for sampling rates such as 22.05 kHz, this device's frame display (Page 15) may not display correctly.

• ID3 tags

This device supports ID3 tag v1. If ID3 tag data is in an MP3 file, this device can display the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag data.

This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters and the underscore. For non-supported characters, "NO SUPPORT" is displayed.

• Producing MP3 discs

MP3 files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders).

• Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

26-EN

Page 29

• Corresponding File Systems

This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.

Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to remember. The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory). File/folder names are limited to 31 characters (including the extension). Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and '_' (underscore). This device also can playback discs in Joliet and other standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file names, folder names, etc. are not displayed correctly.

• Formats supported

This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session. This device can not correctly play back discs recorded with Track At Once or packet writing.

• Order of tracks

The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software writes them. Therefore, the playing order may not be the same as the order you input. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows.

Terminology

Bit rate

This is the "sound" compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.

Sampling rate

This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound level is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.

Encoding

Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.

ID3 tag

Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3 files.

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) offers excellent sound quality even in a moving vehicle, enabling you to receive various types of information, including weather and traffic information, and it also displays information sent from the broadcasting stations. You can also let urgent broadcasts or announcements interrupt a current broadcast.

NOTES

• If you connect the DAB Receiver Box TUA-T100DAB

(separately sold), you can control DAB for the reception of broadcast.

• CD quality sound can be obtained from DAB broadcasts,

although quality may differ on some services.

• Some broadcasting stations may perform test broadcasts.

• When DAB reception is poor, metallic noise may occur. This

is not a malfunction.

1 Press the SOURCE button to select DAB. 2 Press the BAND button to select DAB1, DAB2, or DAB3. 3 If you press and hold the g DN or f UP button

while receiving DAB1, 2, or 3, it starts searching for ensemble automatically. By selecting the mode in the “Changing the Display Mode” section (see page 35), the display shows the status of the broadcasting stations that have been received as follows:

Channel No. Display: the channel numbers of received stations are displayed.

Ensemble Label Display: the Ensemble Label of received station is displayed.

Service Label Display: the Ensemble Label is displayed for 2 seconds and then the Service Label is displayed after receiving the broadcasting station.

Component Label Display: the Ensemble Label is displayed for 2 seconds, then the Service Label is displayed for 2 seconds, and then the display is changed to the Component Label after receiving the broadcasting station.

Dynamic Label Display: the Ensemble Label is displayed for 2 seconds, then the Service Label is displayed for 2 seconds, and then the display is changed to the Dynamic Label after receiving the broadcasting station.

Tips

When you use DAB, you can select a desired ensemble which may contain one or more services, any of which can be received. Furthermore, each service contains a Service Component, which itself can contain any number of Primary or Secondary services, depending on the Service Component. Several different kinds of service can therefore be selected.

Changing the Service

Services are received within the ensemble that you are currently receiving.

1 While receiving the ensemble, momentarily press the

g DN or f UP button, and select the service that you desire. The selected service label is displayed for 2 seconds, and then you return to the display that you select with the steps described under the section “Changing the Display Mode” (see page 35).

Changing the Service Component

You can change Audio Services of the Service Component between the Primary and Secondary, when listening to an Audio Service that has a Secondary Service Component.

1 Press the F button so that "FUNCTION ON" appears

on the display.

2 Press the P/S button to change the Service

Component between the Primary and Secondary broadcast. Every time you press the button the selection toggles. The Component label is displayed for 2 seconds, and then you return to the display that you selected with the steps described under the section “Changing the Display Mode” (see page 35).

NOTES

• If there exists a Secondary Service Component within a

service, the indicator “S” blinks on the display. When receiving the Secondary Service Component, the indicator “S” remains lit.

• When receiving the Primary Service Component, the "P"

indicator lights up.

• The FUNCTION mode is cancelled if there is no operation

performed within 5 seconds.

Memorizing the Service

1 Select the service that you want to memorize. 2 Press any one of the Preset buttons (1 through 6) for

at least 2 seconds while the FUNCTION mode is turned off. The selected service is memorized.

3 To memorize more, repeat the above steps 1 and 2.

NOTES

• You can memorize up to 18 stations (6 stations for each

band; DAB1, DAB2, DAB3).

• If you select a preset button that has already memorized a

service, the new selection takes it over.

• When you are not receiving DAB, the service is not

memorized. (Memorize the service when the DAB reception is good)

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.

Warning

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or

product damage.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.

BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to

electrical shorts.

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.

Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other

equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.

When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take

precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions

may result in fire.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.

Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for

installations or ground connections. Using such parts could

disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.

and results in serious accident.

Caution

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.

The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.

Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire's insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.

Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.

Precautions

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing your CDA-7998R. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.

• When making connections to the vehicle's electrical system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting the CDA-7998R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-7998R has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your ALPINE dealer.

• The CDA-7998R uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.

• Be sure to connect the speaker (–) leads to the speaker (–) terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or to the vehicle body.
