DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in
serious injury or death.
INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS
THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS APPLIED.
It is dangerous for the driver to watch TV/Video while driving a vehicle.
Installing this product incorrectly enables the driver to watch TV/Video while
driving. This may cause a distraction, preventing the driver from looking
ahead, thus causing an accident. The driver or other people could be severely
injured.
DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.
Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle
and cause an accident.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING
YOUR VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed
after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location
before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE
DRIVING.
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens
or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may
result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE
HEARING DAMAGE.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle
and cause an accident.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
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.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock
or other injury.
CAUTION
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in
injury or material property damage.
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 Centre for
repairing.
DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY
POLARITY.
When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and ) as
instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery may cause fire or
personal injury.
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 -20°C
(-4°F) before turning your unit on.
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.
Installation Location
Make sure the iXA-W407BT will not be installed in a location subjected to: ·
Direct sun and heat · High humidity and water · Excessive dust · Excessive
vibrations
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
4-EN
· After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will remain
temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.
· In cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast temporarily.
After a short warm-up period, it will return to normal.
Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the iXA-W407BT, can
be operated from the iXA-W407BT. Depending on the products connected, the
functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your Alpine dealer.
Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex. Because of
this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions into a special screen.
This will restrict operation of these functions to times when the vehicle is
parked. This ensures the focus of the driver’s attention will be on the road
and not on the iXA-W407BT. This has been done for the safety of the driver and
passengers. Audio Processor Adjustments cannot be made if the car is moving.
The car must be parked and the parking brake must be engaged for the procedure
described in the Owner’s Manual to be valid. The warning “CAN’T OPERATE WHILE
DRIVING” will be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these
operations while driving.
· The iXA-W407BT draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned
off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iXA-W407BT is connected
directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the battery may be
discharged. An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can
be added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the OFF
position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back ON before using
the iXA-W407BT. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the “Connection
Diagram of SPST Switch (Sold Separately)” (page 64). If the power (ignition)
lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the
vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time.
Protecting the USB connector

the USB connector on this unit. Correct performance using other USB products
cannot be guaranteed.

Performing Time Correction Manually (T.Corr)
Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there can be major
differences in the distances between the various speakers and the listening
position. It is possible to calculate the optimum correction values and
eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself using this
function.
Setting item: T.Corr
1 Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for
example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the
various speakers.
2 Calculate the difference in distance between the
farthest speaker and the other speakers.
L = (distance of farthest speaker) (distance of other speakers)
3 Divide the distances calculated for the different
speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C). This value is the
time correction value for the various speakers.
Concrete examples Calculating the time correction value for the front left
speaker on the diagram below.
Conditions: Distance between farthest speaker and listening position:
2.25 m (88-3/4″) Distance between front left speaker and listening position:
0.5 m (20″) Calculation:
L = 2.25 m (88-3/4″) 0.5 m (20″)= 1.75 m (68-3/4″) Compensation time = 1.75
÷ 343 x 1,000 = 5.1 (ms)
28-EN
In other words, setting the time correction value for the front left speaker to 5.1 (ms) sets a virtual distance matching the distance to the farthest speaker.
0.5m
2.25m
5.1ms
The sound is uneven because the distance between the listening position and the different speakers is different. The difference in the distance between the front left and rear right speakers is 1.75 meters (68-3/4″).
Time correction eliminates the difference between the time required for the sound from the different speakers to reach the listening position. Setting the time correction of the front left speaker to 5.1 ms makes it possible to coordinate the distance from the listening position to the speaker.

About Time Correction
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
3.4cm 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.
0.5m
2.25m
5.1ms
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 ÷ 3431 × 1,000 = 5.1 (ms)
1 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.
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 the Crossover
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. · You
cannot adjust the crossover frequency higher than the HPF or
