USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the

Alpine Service Center for repairing.
PRECAUTIONS
Product Cleaning
Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more
severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything
else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C
(+140°F) and −10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.
Moisture Condensation
You may notice the CD playback sound wavering due to
condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing
a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.
Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station
for servicing.
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.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

6-EN
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.
“ERROR” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc
incorrectly. If “ERROR” continues to be displayed even though the
disc has been inserted correctly, 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.

CORRECT
INCORRECT CORRECT
To prevent the CD from jamming, “ERROR” is displayed if discs
with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted
incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial
loading, use your finger to feel around the inside of the center 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.
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 this unit will not be installed in a location subjected to:
•Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water
• Excessive dust
•Excessive vibrations
Correct Handling
Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not
leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or
gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.
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.
Transparent Sheet Disc Stabilizer
On handling Compact Discs (CD/CD -R/CD-RW)
• Do not touch the surface.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.
• Do not affix stickers or labels.
• Clean the disc when it is dusty.
• Make sure that there are no bumps around the disc.
• Do not use commercially available disc accessories.
Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time. Never
expose the disc to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity may damage
the CD and you may not be able to play it again.
To custom er s u sing CD-R/CD-RW
• If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last
recording session was closed (finalized).
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback again.
About media that can be played
Use only compact discs with the label side showing the CD logo
marks below.
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 center of the disc to the outer edge.
If you use non-standard compact discs, correct performance cannot
be guaranteed.
You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordables)/CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritables) which have been recorded only on audio devices.
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3 formatted
audio files.
• Some of the following CDs may not play on this unit:
Flawed CDs, CDs with fingerprints, CDs exposed to extreme
temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), CDs
recorded under unstable conditions, CDs on which a recording failed
or a re-recording was attempted, copy-protected CDs which do not
conform to the audio CD industry standard.
• Use discs with compressed audio files written in a format compatible
with this unit. For details, refer to “About MP3” on page 13.
• Data files, other than audio, on the disc are ignored and are not
played back.
7-EN
Protecting the USB Con nection Terminal
• Only USB Flash Memory devices or iPod/iPhone can be connected to
the USB connection terminal on this unit. Correct performance using
other USB products cannot be guaranteed. A USB hub is not
supported.
• Depending on the shape or size of a Flash Memory, it may not be
connected to the USB terminal of this unit-a USB cable (sold
separately) is recommended for this connection.
Also, avoid connecting Flash Memory and Front Aux at the same
time.
• If a USB device is inserted in the unit, it projects out and may be a
danger while driving.
Use a commercially available USB extension cable, and connect it in a
safe way.
• Depending on the connected Flash Memory device, the unit may not
function or some functions may not be performed.
• The audio file format that can be played back on the unit is MP3.

• A file that is copy-protected (copyright protection) cannot be played
back.
• Flash Memory may take time to start playback. If there is a particular
file other than audio in the Flash Memory, it may take considerable
time before the file is played back or searched.

• Do not add the above extensions to a file other than audio data. This
non-audio data will not be recognized. The resulting playback may
contain noise that can damage speakers and/or amplifiers.
• It is recommended to back up important data on a personal
computer.
• Do not remove the USB device while playback is in progress. Change
SOURCE to something other than USB, then remove the USB device
to prevent possible damage to its memory.

About MP3
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3
data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free
or for a fee, without 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 audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of
music files to 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 sou nds that are either
inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
Method for creating MP3 files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3 codecs. For details
on creating MP3 files, refer to the user’s manual for that software.
MP3 files that are playable on this device have the file extensions “mp3”.
Files with no extension cannot be played back.
It’s possible that the format may be unplayable even though the
extension is valid.
Supported playback sa mpling rates and bit rates
MP3
Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz,
Bit rates: 8 - 320 kbps
This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates.
ID3 tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2.
If 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 (up to
30 for ID3 tags) and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO
SUPPORT” is displayed.
If information contains characters other than ID3 tag information, the
audio file may not be played back.
The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending on the
contents.
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), and the maximum number of folders is 255.
Playback may not be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations
described above.
Media supported
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and
CD-RWs.
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 director y).
The number of characters for a folder/file name is limited.
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers
0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).
This device also can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file
names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.
Formats supported
This device suppor ts CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD
(CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with Track At
Once or packet writing.

Order of files
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes them
to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what is expected.
Verify the writing order in the software’s documentation. The playback
order of the folders and files is as follows.
* The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no readable file is
contained in the folder.

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 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.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc.,
written into MP3 files.
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system.
The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically
for all burned discs.
Sound Setting

Press AUDI O repeatedly to choose the desired mode.
Each press changes the mode as follows:
SUBW*1 BASS*2 MID*2 TREBLE*2 BAL FAD LOUD*2
DEFEAT VOLUME SUBW
*1 When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be
adjusted, refer to “Turning Subwoofer ON/OFF” on page 16.
*2 Adjustable only when DEFEAT is OFF.
Subwoofer 0 ~ +15
Bass level -7 ~ +7
Mid level -7 ~ +7
Treble level -7 ~ +7

Fader R15 ~ F15
Loudn ess ON/OFF
Defeat ON/OFF
Volume 0 ~ 35
Notes
• If no operation is performed for 5 seconds, the unit automatically
returns to normal mode.
• Loudness introduces a special low- and high-frequency emphasis at low
listening levels. This compensates for the ear’s decreased sensitivity to
bass and treble sound.

Turn the Rotary encoder until the desired sound is
obtained in each mode.
By setting DEFEAT ON, previously adjusted level settings of
BASS, MID, and TREBLE will return to the factory defaults.
