CAUTION

WARNING

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

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.

KEEP SMALL OBJEC TS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest 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 PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

CORRECT

Transparent Sheet

Disc Stabilizer

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.

New Discs

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.

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 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.

Irregular Shaped Discs

Be sure to use round discs only for this unit and never use any special shaped discs. Use of anything but round 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.

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.

If you use unspecified 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/WMA/AAC 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.

7-EN

• Use discs with MP3/WMA/AAC files written in a format compatible with this unit. For details, refer to “About MP3/WMA/AAC” on page 15.

• ROM data other than audio files contained in a disc will not produce sound when played back.

Protecting the USB con nector

• Only a Flash Memory or iPod/iPhone can be connected to the USB port on this unit. Correct performance using other USB products cannot be guaranteed.

• If the USB connector is used, be sure to use a USB extension cable (supplied). A USB hub is not supported.

About MP3/WMA/AAC

CAUTION

Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/ WMA/AAC 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 sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.

What is WMA?

WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.

What is AAC ?

AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.

Method for cre ating MP3/WMA/AAC files

Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user’s manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file extensions “mp3”/“wma”/“m4a”. Files with no extension cannot be played back (WMA ver. 7 , 8 and 9 are supported). Protected files are not supported, neither are raw AAC files (using the “.aac” extension). There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. It’s possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid. Playback of AAC files encoded by i Tunes is supporte d.

Supported playback sampling rates a nd bit rates

MP3

Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz,

Bit rates: 8 - 320 kbps

WMA

Bit rates: 16 - 320 kbps

This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates. In the USB mode, the playback time may not be correctly displayed when a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recorded file is played back.

ID3 tags/WMA tags

This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA/AAC tag. If tag data is in an MP3/WMA/AAC file, this device can display the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag/WMA/AAC tag data. This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters (up to 32 for ID3 tags and up to 32 for WMA tags) and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “No Support” is displayed or the character is displayed as space. 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.

24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz

Playin g back MP3/WMA /AAC

MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R, CD-RW using CD-R writing software or stored to a Flash Memory. A disc can hold up to 509 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. This device also can play back Flash Memory media.

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. This device also supports FAT 12/16/32 for Flash Memory device.

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 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/WMA/AAC 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.

T.Correction/X-Over Settings

The stored Parametric EQ/T.Correction and X-Over settings are in the preset memory.

After selecting any item of the Parametric EQ/ T.Correction/X-Over mode (e.g. Band), press any one of the preset buttons (1 through 6) that has your desired characteristic in memory to recall the stored settings.

The adjusted contents of Parametric EQ/T.Correction/X-Over stored into the preset button will be demonstrated.

Press the preset button again during the demonstration to recall the stored settings.

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 its distance from the listener is the same as the

distance to the farthest speaker. 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.

× 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

Example 2: All Seats

About Time Correction

The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the complex speaker placement. 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, this unit 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 3.4cm steps. Listening Position example as follows:

Example 1: 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.

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"). Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram on the above.

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

Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.

Calculate the difference between the distance correction value to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.

L = (distance to farthest speaker) - (distance to other speakers)

These values are the time correction values for the different speakers. Setting these values to make each sound reach the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.

About the Crossover

Crossover (X-Over):

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). Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

• HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the higher frequencies to pass.

• LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the lower frequencies to pass.

• 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.

• Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers. For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer to the respective Owner’s Manual. We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value.
