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.
6-EN
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 button 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.
Center Hole Center Hole
New Disc
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.

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 AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, and is a basic format of
audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
What is WMA? WMA, or “Windows MediaTM Audio,” is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codes. 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: “mp3” WMA: “wma” (Ver. 7, 8, and 9 are supported) AAC: “m4a” 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.
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates
MP3 Sampling rates:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz
Bit rates:
8 – 320 kbps
WMA Sampling rates:

16 – 320 kbps
This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates.
ID3 tags/WMA tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA tag. 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 (up to 30 for ID3 tags and up to 15 for WMA tags) and
the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO SUPPORT” is displayed. 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.
14-EN
Producing MP3/WMA/AAC discs
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW using CD-R
writing software. 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.
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 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.
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 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.
