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.

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

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
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 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.

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 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 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-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 realises 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 MediaTM Audio,” is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality sound with small file sizes.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codecs. 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″/”wma”/”m4a”. Files with no extension cannot be played back (WMA ver. 7.1 , 8 and 9 are supported). Protected files are not supported, neither are raw AAC files (using the “.aac” extension).
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.

Quick Search
You can search for tracks (files).
1 Press and hold /ENT for at least 2 seconds in the
CD/MP3/WMA/AAC mode to activate Quick Search mode.
2 Turn the Rotary encoder to select a desired track
(file). The selected track is played back immediately.
· Press /ESC in the search mode to cancel. Or, the search mode is cancelled if no operation is performed for 10 seconds.

ID3 tags/WMA tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA/AAC tag. 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/ AAC 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.
Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R, CD-RW using CD-R writing software or stored to a USB memory. A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders), and the maximum number of folders is 255. This unit can recognize at least 100 folders (including root folder) and 100 files per folder stored in USB memory. Playback may not be performed if a disc or USB memory exceeds the limitations described above. Do not make a file’s playback time more than 1 hour.

Media supported
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. This device also can play back USB memory media.
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 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. This device also supports FAT 12/16/32 for USB memory device.

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.
Root folder

Folder

The folder No./folder Name will not be displayed if no file is contained in the folder.

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 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.

MX (MEDIAXPANDER) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, USB memory and iPhone/iPod, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.

Changing the source to which you want to apply Media Xpander.
FM (MX level 1 to 3): The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces well balanced sound at all frequencies.
CD (MX level 1 to 3): CD mode processes a large amount of data during playback. MX takes advantage of this large data quantity to reproduce a more clear, clean output.
CMPM (MX level 1 to 3): This corrects information that was lost at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original.
DVD (Video CD) (MOVIE MX level 1 to 2):
The dialogue portion of a video is reproduced more clearly.
(DVD MUSIC): A DVD or Video CD contains a large quantity of data such as music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound accurately.
AUX (MX level 1): Choose the MX mode (CMPM, MOVIE, or MUSIC) that corresponds to the media connected.
· Each music source, such as FM radio, CD, and MP3/WMA/AAC can have its own MX setting.
· On disks with both MP3/WMA/AAC and CD-DA, when the source changes from “MP3/WMA/AAC to CD-DA” or “CD-DA to MP3/WMA/AAC”, MX-mode switching may delay playback slightly.

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 × 1000 = 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.

· 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
lower than the LPF. · 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.

About IMPRINT
VISION VS. REALITY
All good music starts as an artist’s vision. After countless hours of rehearsing, recording and mixing, that vision is ready for us to hear on discs, radio and other media. But do we hear it as the artist created it? Unfortunately, the reality is that we are almost never able to listen to it in the exact way the artist intended. Especially when we are listening in a car.
CARS ARE TERRIBLE LISTENING SPACES
Car interiors are full of materials that obstruct and degrade sound quality. For example, windows amplify and reflect high frequencies. Seat and dashboard coverings change certain frequencies. Carpets absorb and suppress mid frequencies. Graphic and parametric EQs are only partial remedies for these problems. In addition, the speakers are not located at equal distances from listeners, creating an unbalanced, uncentered sound stage. Time correction can help fix this, but only for one listening position.

INTRODUCING IMPRINT
These acoustical problems are so severe that no correction system has been able to overcome them. Until now, with the introduction of IMPRINT, Alpine provides a hardware/software combination that not only solves these problems, it actually improves the sound stage, tonal balance and definition – and does it automatically, in a matter of minutes!
HOW IMPRINT IS DIFFERENT
IMPRINT using MultEQ is superior to other equalisation systems in five ways. · It is the only system that measures the entire listening area,
capturing time domain information from each listening location and applying a proprietary method for processing it to represent all seat locations. This gives the people in each seat the optimal listening experience. · It corrects both time and frequency problems, for an improved soundstage and smoother, more natural sound. · It uses dynamic frequency allocation to apply hundreds of points of correction to those areas where the sound problems are greatest. · It determines optimized blending points for low frequency crossovers. · It provides, in minutes, vehicle sound tuning that generally takes skilled professionals days to accomplish.

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 3 and 5 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.
Warning
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.
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.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety- related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and results in serious accident.

Caution
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.
