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. 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. 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. 2-EN 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. Handling the Detachable Front Panel · · Do not expose to rain or water. Do not drop or apply shock. Correct Handling Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc by its edge so that no fingerprints are left 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. INCORRECT CORRECT 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. 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. Centre Hole Centre Hole New 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 shape discs only for this unit and never use any special shape discs. Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram at the left. 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* × 1000 = 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 the distance to the front left speaker is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker. 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"). 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. 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 the left ear. To correct this, the CDA-7894RB/CDA-7893R 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 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. 1 2 3 Sit in the listening position (driver's seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers. Calculate the difference between the distance to the farthest speaker and the other speakers. L = (distance to farthest speaker) ­ (distance to other speakers) 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. * 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 8. Tips 5.1ms 0.5m 2.25m 7-EN Basic Operation 5 SOURCE BAND Rotary encoder After setting, press the T.CORR to return to the normal mode. NOTES · Any manual time correction adjustments will also affect corrections made in Bass Focus. · Time Correction mode is automatically cancelled if no buttons are pressed within 15 seconds. MX T.CORR Example of Steps 2 and 3 Setting (1) After entering corrections for the front (left and right) speakers in STEP 15, the time difference is 1.5 ms for both front-left and front-right 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. 1.5ms 1.5ms 1 Press the T.CORR button to select the Bass Focus mode. Bass Focus mode Time correction mode Normal mode 2 Press the BAND button to select the front-rear / leftright speakers. (2) After 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. FL FR RR FL FR RR RL RL 3.0ms Front (left-right) speakers Left (front-rear) speakers 1.5ms 1.5ms 1.5ms 1.5ms FL RL FR RR FL RL FR RR Tips Rear (left-right) speakers Right (front-rear) speakers * 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 . 3 4 Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the front-rear / leftright delay. For setting another channel (speaker), repeat the steps 2 and 3. 8-EN Time Difference Table Number of Steps 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Time Difference (ms) 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Number of Steps 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Time Difference (ms) 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Number of Steps 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 - 98 99 Time Difference (ms) 2.8 2.9 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.0 - 9.8 9.9 3 4 Press and hold the MX button for at least 2 seconds to select the MX mode. Turn the Rotary encoder to select your preferred mode or OFF. FM (MX level 1 to 3): The medium to high frequencies become more clear, and produces well balanced sound in all the bands. CD (MX level 1 to 3): CD mode processes a large quantity of data. This data is used to reproduce the sound cleanly by making use of the data quantity. MP3/DAB (MX level 1 to 3): This corrects information that was omitted at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original. DVD (Video CD) (MX level 1 to 2): The dialog portion of the video is reproduced more clearly. DVD (CD) (MX level 1): This disk contains a large quantity of data such as music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound accurately. AUX (MX level 1): Choose the MX mode (MP3, MUSIC, or MOVIE) that corresponds to the media connected.
