PRECAUTIONS
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.
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.
Installation Location
Make sure the
???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.
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 disc from jamming, the DVD 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 center 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
Bumps Outside (Bumps)
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 center 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.
Continued
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 operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine DVD players.

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 level 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

About the Time Correction
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the special conditions of the mobile environment. 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 left ear.
To correct this, the
The adjustment will be made for each speaker in a step of 0.1 ms.
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.
Tips
* Subwoofer speaker
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 ???Tips??? on page 23.
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram above.
Conditions:
Farthest Speaker ??? listening position: 2.25 m
Front left speaker ??? listening position: 0.5 m
Calculation: L = 2.25 m ??? 0.5 m = 1.75 m
* Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20??C
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
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.
In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if the distance to the front left speaker is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker.
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.

???
2After entering corrections for the left (front and rear) speakers in STEP 15, the time difference becomes 3.0 ms* for the front left speaker and 1.5 ms for the left rear speaker.
*Because the time difference was already set to 1.5 ms for the front left speaker in STEP 1, the additional correction in STEP 15 makes the time difference of the front left speaker 3.0 ms.
???
Tips
* Subwoofer speaker
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 above, you can change the positions of left and right speakers by delaying the time.

Performing Time Correction Manually (TCR)/
Swithing the Phase
Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there can be major differences in the distances between the various speakers and the listening position. It is possible to calculate the optimum correction values and eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself using this function. You can also use this function to switch the phase.
1 Check that Defeat mode is off.
2 Sit in the listening position (the driver???s seat, for example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.
3 Calculate the difference in distance between the farthest speaker and the other speakers.
L = (distance of farthest speaker)
??? (distance of other speakers)
4 Divide the distances calculated for the different speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20??C).
This value is the time correction value for the various speakers.
Concrete examples
Calculating the time correction value for the front left speaker on the diagram below.
Conditions:
Distance between farthest speaker and listening position: 2.25 m
Distance between front left speaker and listening position: 0.5 m (20")
Calculation:
L = 2.25 m
In other words, setting the time correction value for the front left speaker to 5.1 (ms) sets a virtual distance matching the distance to the farthest speaker.
5.1ms 0.5m
2.25m
???When the speaker is set to the ???OFF??? mode,
???Check the playback frequencies of the connected speakers before adjusting.
The sound is uneven because the distance between the listening position and the different speakers is different. The difference in the distance between the front left and rear right speakers is 1.75 meters
Time correction eliminates the difference between the time required for the sound from the different speakers to reach the listening position.
Setting the time correction of the front left speaker to 5.1 ms makes it possible to coordinate the distance from the listening position to the speaker.

Information
About DVDs
Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the digital data is recorded. The data is represented as microscopic pits recorded into the track ??? these pits are read by a laser beam to play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain more data in less space.
CDs
DVDs
A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music.
In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colors thanks to a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less than 300 for VHS tape). With the addition of an optional, digital audio processor
In addition, DVDs offer a variety of functions.
???Multiple audio* (page 18)
Movies can be recorded in up to eight languages. The desired language can be selected from the remote control unit.

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 ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN
SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.
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.
