About the Crossover
About Time Correction
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, please
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.
• 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.
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 3.4 cm steps.
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.
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.
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* × 1,000 = 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 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.
32-EN
Page 33
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 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 DAB/DAB+/DMB
What is DAB?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the third generation
broadcasting technology following the traditional analogue
technologies such as FM. The advantages of DAB include being more
robust with regard to noise, interference, instability, etc., during radio
signal transmission. Also, it can provide stereo CD-quality sound and
digital information, and it can resist multipath interference
guaranteeing high-quality reception for fixed, portable and mobile
devices.
What is DAB+?
WorldDMB, the organisation in charge of the DAB standards,
announced DAB+, a major upgrade to the DAB standard in 2006,
when the HE-AAC v2 audio codec (also k nown as eAAC+) was
adopted. The new standard, which is called DAB+, has also adopted
the MPEG Surround audio format and stronger error correction
coding in the form of Reed-Solomon coding. DAB+ has been
standardised as ETSI TS 102 563.
What is DMB?
DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is a future-orientated, new
generation broadcasting system based on DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting). Where DAB upgraded the traditional analogue sound
of FM to a CD-quality level, DMB advances simple sound
broadcasting to the multimedia arena, striving to provide a visual
service while transmitting high-quality sound. Users include
entertainment programmes, intellectual traffi c navigation, electronic
newspapers and magazines, information provided by financial
markets, the Internet, and integrated city information. It can be
widely used by mobile carriers such as buses, taxis, light railways,
underground railways, trains, ferries, airports, and by all kinds of
people in the home and office.

Indication mark meaning
When the car is put into reverse gear, the monitor switches to the rear
view camera image. Guides appear to help visualise the car’s width and
distance from the rear bumper.
Car width extension marks (red, yellow and green in
order of distance)
If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the car’s width. This
helps guide the car’s path when backing up in a straight line.
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from
the rear end of the bumper).
• The marks do not move in synchronisation with the steering
wheel.
• Set the marks to suit the car’s width.
Distance guidance marks
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from
the rear end of the bumper).
• The marks do not move in synchronisation with the steering
wheel.
• We recommend that you measure the actual distance to the
marks when parked on a level surface.
• Depending on the condition of the car or road surface, the range of
vision may vary.
• The camera has a limited range of vision. Objects at extreme angles to
the camera (e.g. under the bumper or at opposite ends of the bumper)
may not be in the its field-of-vision.
• The rear camera image may have a tint which is different from the
actual surroundings.
• Depending on the car, the guidance may deviate to the right or left. This
is not a malfunction.
Distance guidance mark
The distance guides represent the ground level distance from the rear
bumper. It is difficult to accurately estimate the distance to objects above
ground level.
In the following example, the distance to A is 0.5 m and the distance to B
is 1 m.
<Screen>
C
B
A (about 0.5 m)
<Positions of A, B and C>
about 1 m
In the screen, according to the distance guidance marks, the
truck seems to be parked about 1 m away (at the position B).
In actual fact, however, if you reversed to position A, you
would collide with the truck.
In the screen, positions A, B and C seem to be located in order
of proximity. However, in actual fact, the position A and C are
the same distance, and B is farther away than positions A and
C.
• The car width extension mark represents the distance to the road
surface. The distance to an object on the road is not accurately
represented by the guides.
Error between the screen and the actual road surface
In the following conditions, errors are produced between the screen
guidance and the actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a case
when the camera is installed in the standard position.)
When there is a steep upward slope behind the car
(example)
<Screen>
70-EN
Distance guidance marks
Page 71
<Situation of the car>
Actual distances
Error Error
The distance guidance mark represents the distance to a flat
road surface. Therefore in the case of an upward slope
behind the car, the distance guides are displayed closer to
the rear bumper than the actual distance. For example, if
there is an obstacle on the upward slope, it may appear
farther away than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the
actual path of the car on the road surface.
When there is a steep downward slope behind the car
(example)
<Screen>
<Situation of the car>
ErrorError
In the case of a downward slope behind the car, the distance
guides are displayed farther from the rear bumper than the
actual distance.
If there is an obstacle on the downward slope, it seems closer
than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the
actual path of the car on the road surface.

About the Supported Formats
• For the list of video formats supported from a USB flash drive, see
“About USB Video format” (page 55).
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC
(USB Flash drive) codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/
FLAC (USB Flash drive) files, refer to the user’s manual for that
software.
MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files that are playable on this
device have the file extensions.
MP3: “mp3”
WMA: “wma”
AAC: “m4a”
FLAC: ”flac”/”fla”
WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio
Professional, Windows Media Audio 10 std or Windows Media Audio
10 Pro Lossless.
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 iTunes is supported.
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including
MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC 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 Standardisation
Organisation 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
realises such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that
are either inaudible to the human ea r 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.
What is FLAC?
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file codec for lossless
compression, developed and offered as open source software.
Codecs with lossy compression forms, such as MP3 and AAC, reduce
part of the data to improve compression efficiency.
However, FLAC can reconstruct compressed data to be an identical
copy of the original data by performing lossless compression. The
compression ratio of FLAC is about 50%.
This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling
rates.
ID3 tags/WMA tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1.0, v1.1, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4, and WMA tag
Ver.1.x. 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 tag
data.
For non-supported characters, “?” is displayed.
The number of characters may be limited, or not correctly displayed,
depending on the tag information.

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/AAC/FLAC (USB flash drive) 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.
