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.

Handling the Detachable Front Panel

•Do not expose to rain or water.

•Do not drop or apply shock.

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.

CORRECT

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.

Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

Installation Location

Make sure the DVA-7996R will not be installed in a location subjected to:

•Direct sun and heat

•High humidity and water

•Excessive dust

•Excessive vibrations

INCORRECT

CORRECT

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.

Tips for making your own CDs

The DVA-7996R plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a built in MP3 decoder.

The following information is designed to help you create your own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3 encoded CD-R/RW files).

What is the difference between an Audio and MP3 CD? An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file.*

Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3) CD-R/RW discs: The DVA7996R can read either sector on the disc. Choose MixDisc CD to play the CD audio section or MixDisc MP3 to play the MP3 section.*

Multisession CD-R/RW: Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session. If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a “multisession” CD. The DVA-7996R can only read multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3 files - Not Audio CD files).

MP3 ID3 Tag Information: The DVA-7996R read and displays MP3 ID3v1 tag information. MP3 files created with ID3v2 tag information can be played back but the tag info cannot be read or displayed.

Properly formatted MP3 Discs: Use ISO-9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32 characters) or Joliet, (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file naming conventions.*

*Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.

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 and do not write on the surface.

∙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 disc and you may not be able to play it again.

• Discs that cannot be played

DVD-ROMs, DVD-R/DVD-RAMs, DVD-RWs, DVD+RWs, CD-ROMs (excluding MP3 files), photo CDs, etc.

• DVD region number (playable region number)

This DVD head unit will play back any disc whose region number is 2 (or All). DVDs with a region number other than those listed below, cannot be played on this DVD player.

2 ALL

• Video CDs

This DVD head unit is compatible with playback control (PBC) compatible video CDs (version 2.0).

“PBC” is a function by which you can use menu screens recorded on the disc to find the scene you want to watch and view various types of information in dialog style.

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-7996R 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.

	5.1ms
0.5m
2.25m

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.

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.

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.

10-EN

Bass Focus

The time difference between the front-rear/left-right speakers, can be adjusted at the same time. With an initial delay of 0.1 ms for each of the 0 to 99 steps, audible time correction can be done.

1 Press the T.CORR button to select the Bass Focus mode.

Bass Focus mode Time correction mode

2 Press the BAND button to select the front-rear / leftright speakers.

speakers		speakers
FL	FR ←	FL	FR ←
RL	RR	RL	RR
Rear (left-right)		Right (front-rear)

3 Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the front-rear / leftright delay.

4 For setting another channel (speaker), repeat the steps

2 and 3.

5 After setting, press the T.CORR button to return to the normal mode.

NOTES

•Any manual time correction adjustments will also affect corrections made in Bass Focus.

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

Example of Steps 2 and 3 Setting

(1)After entering corrections for the front (left and right) speakers in STEP 15, the time difference is 1.5 ms for both front-left and front-right speakers.

1.5ms

1.5ms

(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
1.5ms	1.5ms
1.5ms

Tips

*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.
