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.

3-EN

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. “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

As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming, “Error” will be displayed if discs with irregular surface are inserted 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 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.

Installation Location

Make sure the DVA-9965 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

1ALL

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 dialogue style.

Using compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot be guaranteed.

You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordable)/CD-RWs (CDReWritable) which have been recorded only on audio devices. You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA formatted audio files.

•Some of the following discs may not be played on this unit: Flawed discs, discs with fingerprints, discs exposed to extreme temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), discs recorded under unstable conditions, discs 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 MP3/WMA files written in a format compliant with ISO9660 level 1 or level 2. For details, see pages 14 and 15.

To customers using 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.

Tips for making your own CDs

The DVA-9965 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a built in MP3/WMA decoder.

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

What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA CD?

An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)/ WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file.*

Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA) CD-R/RW discs:

The DVA-9965 can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA to play the MP3/ WMA section.*

Continued

5-EN

Multisession CD-R/RW:

Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered as 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-9965 can only read multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA files - Not Audio CD files).

Properly formatted MP3/WMA Discs:

Use ISO9660 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.

•Clean the disc when it is dusty.

•Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat.

•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.

Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs

•This unit is compatible only with discs recorded in the DVDVideo mode. Discs recorded in the DVD-VR mode cannot be played back.

•Note that discs not finalized (processed to enable to play on playback-only DVD players) cannot be played on this DVD player.

•Some discs may not play back, depending on the recording device. (This unit has a copy protection function. Discs copied illegally will not be played back. Some files recorded by a software using an improper recording system may be recognized as illegally copied.)

•In the following cases, the disc may not play on this unit: discs recorded by certain DVD recorders, certain irregular discs, flawed discs, dirty discs, when the pickup lens of this DVD player is dirty, or when moisture condensation has occurred inside the unit.

•Be sure to follow all cautions included with your DVD-Rs/ DVD-RWs discs.

•Do not put stickers, seals, or tape on the label side of DVD-Rs/ DVD-RWs.

•Compared to the regular discs, DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs are more affected by heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. If left in a car, etc., damage may occur and it might not play on this unit.

About MP3/WMA

CAUTION

Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/ WMA 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-1 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 and can achieve CD quality sound with small file sizes.

Method for creating MP3/WMA files

Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the user's manual for that software.

MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have the file extension “mp3” / “wma”. Files with no extension cannot be played back. (WMA ver. 7.1, 8 are supported)

Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

MP3
Sampling rates	: 32 kHz - 48 kHz
Bit rates:	32 - 320 kbps
WMA
Sampling rates	: 32 kHz - 48 kHz
Bit rates:	32 - 320 kbps

This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates or bit rates.

ID3 tags/WMA tags

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

This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO SUPPORT” is displayed. The number of characters may be limited, or not correctly displayed, depending on the tag information.

Producing MP3/WMA discs

MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CDRW (DVD-R) using CD-R writing software. This device can read up to 1024 files/256 folders (including Root Folders). Depending on the structure of the folders or files, it may take time to read a disc. In this case, it is recommended to decrease the number of folders or files.

Media supported

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

14-EN

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). 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 supports CD-ROM, 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

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. However, the folder and file playback order differs from the folder and file number indicated on the display.

1	2
Root Folder	2
	3
	4	3
	4
	5
		5
	6	6
	7
	1
Folder	MP3/WMA File

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 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 files.

MP3: ID3 tag WMA: WMA tag

Root folder

The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files.
