PRECAUTIONS

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.

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.

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.

PRECAUTIONS

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

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. Your player will automatically eject any disc that is inserted incorrectly. If the player continues to eject a correctly inserted disc, 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

As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming, the CD player will automatically eject discs with irregular surfaces or inserted incorrectly. When a new disc is inserted into the player and ejected after initial loading, using your finger, 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

CAUTION

Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/ WMA 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 realizes 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 Media??? Audio,??? is compressed audio data.

WMA allows you to create music files and store them at higher ratios of compression than MP3 audio data (approx. half original size). This is achieved while still maintaining CD quality sound.

Method for creating MP3/WMA files

Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the user's manual for that software.

MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have the file extension ???mp3??? / ???wma???. Files with no extension cannot be played back. (WMA ver. 7.1 and 8 are supported)

Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

Note that for sampling rates, this device???s frame display (Page 24) may not display correctly.

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 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) and the underscore. For non-supported characters, ???NO SUPPORT??? (???NO SUPRT??? for CDA-9811R) is displayed.

Producing MP3/WMA discs

MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD- RW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders).

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). File/folder names are limited to 31 characters (including the extension), and are limited to 15 characters for WMA.

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.

Order of tracks

The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software writes them. Therefore, the playing order may not be the same as the order you input. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows. However, the folder and file playback order differs from the folder no. and file no. indicated on the display.

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 files.

MP3: ID3 tag

WMA: WMA tag

About the Crossover (CDA-9815RB/CDA-9813R only)

Crossover:

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.

Level adjusting

(0 to - 12 dB)

Output frequency range

???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 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 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, the CDA-9815RB/CDA-9813R/CDA-9812RX/CDA- 9811R 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 0.1 ms 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.

5.1ms 0.5m

2.25m

*1*1

*1 Subwoofer speaker. CDA-9812RX/CDA-9811R only

You cannot change the Time Correction value for the subwoofer, but you can set the subwoofer's apparent position to the front by adjusting the Time Correction value of the front and rear speakers. For details, refer to the ??? *1 ??? on page 22.

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 ?? 343*2 ??? 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

*2 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 to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.

L = (distance to farthest speaker) ??? (distance to other speakers)

3 Divide the distances calculated for the speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s (765 mph) at 20??C).

These values are the time correction values for the different speakers.

Bass Focus

The time difference between the front-rear/left-right speakers, can be adjusted at the same time. With an initial delay of 0.1 ms for each of the 0 to 99 steps, audible time correction can be done.

1 Press T.CORR/X-OVER to select the Bass Focus mode.

Bass Focus mode ??? Time correction mode ??? normal mode ??? Bass Focus mode

???Any manual time correction adjustments will also affect corrections made in Bass Focus.

???Bass Focus mode is automatically cancelled if no operation is performed within 15 seconds.

Example setting for steps 2 and 3

(1)Press BAND/TEL. to select the front (left and right) speakers. Then turn the Rotary encoder to select 1.5 ms (Delay no. 15 in the table). The time difference is 1.5 ms for both front (left and right speakers.

(2)Press BAND/TEL. to select the left (front and rear) speakers. Then turn the Rotary encoder to select 1.5 ms (Delay no. 15 in the table). The time difference is 3.0 ms*2 for the front left speaker, and 1.5ms for the left rear speaker, creating the impression of an equal listening between the front left speaker and the other speakers.

*1

*1 Subwoofer speaker. CDA-9812RX/CDA-9811R only

Delay (turn the rotary encoder) the audio signal to the front (left and right) speakers to make the apparent position of the subwoofer to be at the front. In doing this, the apparent position between the front (left and right) speakers and subwoofer will appear equal to the driver. After performing the above, you can change the positions of the left and right speakers by delaying the time .

*2 Because the time difference was already set to 1.5ms for the front left speaker to begin with, the additional correction of 1.5ms makes the total time difference of the front left speaker 3.0ms.
