Operating Instructions
WARNING
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in
serious injury or death.
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.
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 BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock
or other injury.
DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.
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.
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 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, and then insert the disc again.
Centre Hole Centre 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 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.
Bumps
Outside (Bumps)
Irregular Shaped Discs
Be sure to use round discs only for this unit and never use any special shaped
discs. Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.
Installation Location
Make sure this unit 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.

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 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.
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.
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:

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/AAC 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 or the character is displayed as space. 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.
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/255 folders. 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.
16-EN
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/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.

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.
21-EN
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.
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 metres) 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.

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.

Notes
· 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.
23-EN
· 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
