Operating Instructions

PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation system correctly.
· This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practises. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
· Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and legal manner and location.
· Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor while you are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system.
· When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency service, please contact the facility to validate and verify availability, prior to driving to it. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.
· The map database contained within the media (SD memory card) in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighborhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgment.
· The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions, it does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.
· There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle’s position automatically; however, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation.

• Make certain that the volume level of the unit is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.
  · Please make certain that any other person who intends on using this navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully.
  If there is anything in the manual about the operation of the navigation system which you are uncertain about, please contact your local Alpine authorised navigation dealer before using the navigation system.

NOTICE
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 +45°C (+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.
Moisture Condensation
You may notice the disc 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.

New Discs
To prevent the disc from jamming, “Disc 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.

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. “Disc error” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc incorrectly. If “Disc 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.
Irregular Shaped Discs
Be sure to use round shaped discs only for this unit and never use any special shaped discs. Use of special shaped discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

INCORRECT

Disc Cleaning
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the DVD 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 diametre of the disc. Using such accessories can cause operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine DVD players.

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 INE-W977BT. This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers. Setup operations 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 “Unable to operate while driving.” will be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations while driving.
· The INE-W977BT draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the INE-W977BT 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 INE-W977BT. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (sold separately)” (page 100). 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.

Tips for making your own discs
The INE-W977BT plays DVD Video, DivX®, Audio CD and has a built in MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded CD-R/ RW files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/AAC CD? An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)/ WMA (Windows Media Audio)/AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file.
Multisession CD-R/RW: Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session. If the disc is not closed (finalised), additional data may be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a “multisession” CD. If the first session on a disc containing both CD-DA data and
MP3/WMA/AAC data is a CD-DA file, only CD-DA files will be played.
Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC Discs: Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32 characters) or Joliet (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file naming conventions*.

• Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.
  On handling compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
  · Do not touch the surface. · Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. · Do not affix stickers or labels. · Clean the disc when it is dusty. · Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat. · Do not use commercially available disc accessories.
  Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time. Never expose the disc to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity may damage the disc and you may not be able to play it again.

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 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 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: “mp3” WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.x, 8.x, 9.x are supported) AAC: “m4a” WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows Media Audio 9 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.

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 3.4 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.
