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 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 and can achieve CD quality sound with small file sizes.

Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files
Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA/AAC specified software. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user’s manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC file extensions that can be played back on the unit are as follows: MP3: “mp3” WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.1, 8, 9, 9.1, 9.2 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.
Depending on the software that is used to create AAC, the file format may differ from the extension. Unit playback of AAC files encoded by version 7.4 iTunes is supported.
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates.

ID3 tags/WMA tags

This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2.2.0, v2.3.0 and WMA tag. The following files do not support compression, coding, grouping or non-synchronization. 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 and the underscore. For non- supported characters, “No Support” is displayed. The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending on the contents.

Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, and then written to USB memory. Or, synchronise an MP3/WMA file using Windows Media Player (Ver. 10 or 11), and then forward to the Portable audio player. A USB memory device can hold up to 10, 000 files/1, 000 folders (including Root Folders). Playback may not be performed if a USB memory / Portable audio player device exceeds the limitations described above.
Media supported
This device can play back USB memory / Portable audio player media.
Corresponding File Systems
This device supports FAT 12/16/32.

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 is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files.

About Time Correction
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a boat 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.
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.

· 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 (0 dB/oct) 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.

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 hatch covers or engine covers) 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.
Precautions
· Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (­) battery post before installing your iDA-X100M. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.
· Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the boat’s electrical system.
· When making connections to the boat’s electrical system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting the iDA-X100M to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the iDA-X100M has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the boat. When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.
· The iDA-X100M uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer for assistance.
· Be sure to connect the speaker (­) leads to the speaker (­) terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or to the boat body.
