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 Disc from jamming, the DVD 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.

Center Hole

New Disc

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.

Disc Cleaning

Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the DVD 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 DVD players.

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 DVA-7996 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.

Rotary encoder

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* × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

*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.

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

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

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.

5.1ms

0.5m

2.25m

∗

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 11.

∗

2 Calculate the difference between the distance to the

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

speakers)

3 Divide the distances calculated for the speakers by the

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

• Time Correction mode is automatically canceled if no buttons are pressed within 15 seconds.

∗

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

speakers in STEP 15, the time difference becomes 3.0 ms* for the front left speaker and 1.5 ms for the left rear speaker.

* Because the time difference was already set to 1.5 ms

for the front left speaker in STEP 1, the additional correction in STEP 15 makes the time difference of the front left speaker 3.0 ms.

3.0ms

1.5ms

∗

* Subwoofer speaker Delay (turn the rotary encoder) the audio signal to the front

(left and right) speakers to make the apparent position of the subwoofer to be at the front. In doing this, the apparent position between the front (left and right) speakers and subwoofer will appear equal to the driver. After performing above, you can change the positions of left and right speakers by delaying the time.

The medium to high frequencies become more clear, and produces well balanced sound in all the bands. CD (MX level 1 to 3): CD mode processes a large quantity of data. This data is used to reproduce the sound cleanly by making use of the data quantity. MP3/XM (MX level 1 to 3): This corrects information that was omitted at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original. DVD (or Video CD):

• (MOVIE MX level 1 to 2) The dialog portion of the video is reproduced more clearly.

• (MUSIC MX level 1) This disk contains a large quantity of data such as music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound accurately.

AUX (MX le v el 1): Choose the MX mode (MP3, MUSIC, or MOVIE) that corresponds to the media connected.

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 f or that software. The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have the file extension “mp3”. Files with no extension can not be played back.

Playing MP3 Data

The unit can be set to play only the audio data (“Mix Disc CD”) or only the MP3 files (“Mix Disc MP3”) on discs containing both audio data and MP3 data (when using discs containing both audio data and MP3 data).

1 Press and hold the SETUP button for at least 3

seconds.

2 Press the DN or UP button to select “Mix Disc

CD/MP3.”

3 Press the BAND button to toggle the mode between

MixDisc CD and MixDisc MP3.

• MixDisc CD: The unit can be set to play only the audio data on discs containing both audio data and MP3 data.

• MixDisc MP3: Only the MP3 files on discs containing both audio data and MP3 data.

4 Press the SETUP button to return to normal mode.

NOTE

Perform this setting before loading the disc. If the disc is already loaded, perform either of the following to decide the setting.

• Turn OFF the main unit

• Disc eject

• Switch source

• Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

Sampling rates: 16 kHz - 48 kHz, bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps Note that for sampling rates such as 22.05 kHz, this device’s frame display (Page 14) 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 255 files/folders (including Root Folders).

• Media supported

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

Continued

25-EN

Page 28

MP3 Operation

• 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 char acters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).

This device also can play back 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.

Information

About DVDs

Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the digital data is recorded. The data is represented as microscopic pits recorded into the track – these pits are read by a laser beam to play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain more data in less space.

DVDs

A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music. In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colors thanks to a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less than 300 for VHS tape). With the addition of an optional, digital audio processor (PXA-H900/PXA-H510/PXA-H700), you can recreate the power and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel Surround.

• Subtitles function* (page 33)

Movies can include subtitles in up to 32 languages. The desired subtitle language can be selected from the remote control unit.

• Multi angle function* (page 32)

When the DVD contains a movie shot from multiple angles, the desired angle can be selected from the remote control unit.

• Multi story function*

With this function, a single movie includes various story lines. You can select different story lines to view various versions of the same movie. Operation differs from disc to disc. Story line selection screens including instructions appear during the movie. Just follow the instructions.

NOTE

Terminology

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that allows large quantities of audio data to be efficiently recorded on discs. It is compatible with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the way up to 5.1-channel surround sound. The signals for the different channels are completely independent, and since the sound is high quality digital there is no loss of sound quality. * The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-

H510/PXA-H900/PXA-H700) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround sound.

DTS

This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound System. This is a high quality sound system, developed by Digital Theater Systems Corp for use in movie theaters. DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theater presentation is fully realized in the home and other settings. DTS is the abbreviation for Digital Theater System. * To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the

separately sold DTS digital audio processor (PXA-H900/PXA-H700). The DVD video software must also have a DTS sound track.

The DVA-7996 performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs analog audio signals, it just happens to be 2-channel audio not 5.1-channel.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is the technology used to decode programs encoded in Dolby Surround. Pro logic decoding will provide you with four channels of sound (front left/right, center and monaural rear surround) from a 2-channel (stereo) source. * The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-

H510/PXA-H900) is required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II plays 2-channel sources in 5 channels over the entire frequency range. This is done with an advance, high sound quality matrix surround decoder which draws out the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any sounds to or changing the sound of the source. * The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-

H700) is required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)

LPCM is a signal recording format used for music CDs. Whereas music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/ 16 bits, DVDs are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving higher sound quality than music CDs.

Rating levels (parental lock)

This is a function of the DVD for restricting the viewing age as stipulated by laws in different countries. The way in which viewing is restricted differs from DVD to DVD. Sometimes the DVD cannot be played at all, other times certain scenes are skipped, and other times certain scenes are replaced with other scenes.

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 ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.

Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

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

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 DV A-7996. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the color 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 DVA-7996 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the DV A-7996 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 DVA-7996 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.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number plate is located on the bottom of the unit.
