Operating Instructions

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR

ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be

performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle

in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do

so may result in an accident.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL

HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency

vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be

dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD

VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING

DAMAGE.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of

the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may

result in fire, etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE

REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,

consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING

FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

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.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the

product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest

Alpine Service Center for repairing.

PRECAUTIONS

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 +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.

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.

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.

Failure to heed them can result in serious injury

or death.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions.

Failure to heed them can result in injury or

material property damage.

4-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.

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.

“ERROR” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc

incorrectly. If “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.

New Discs

To prevent the CD from jamming, “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 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 ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then insert

the disc again.

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.

Installation Location

Make sure this unit will not be installed in a location subjected to:

• 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.

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 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.

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.

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 there are no bumps around the disc.

• 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 CD and you may not be able to play it again.

To customers using CD-R/CD-RW

• If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last

recording session was closed (finalized).

• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback

again.

About MP3/WMA/AAC

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 realizes 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 Media™ 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 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. 7.1, 8 and 9 are supported)

AAC: “m4a”

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.

Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

MP3

WMA

AAC

This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling

rates.

In the USB mode, the playback time may not be correctly

displayed when a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recorded file is played

back.

ID3 tags/WMA tags

This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA tag.

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 (up to 30 for ID3 tags and up to 15 for WMA tags)

and the underscore. For non-supported characters, the display

is NO SUPPORT.

If information contains characters other than ID3 tag information,

the audio file may not be played back.

The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending

on the contents.

Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC

MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R,

CD-RW using CD-R writing software or stored to a USB memory.

A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders),

and the maximum number of folders is 255. This unit can

recognize at least 100 folders (including root folder) and

100 files per folder stored in USB memory.

Playback may not be performed if a disc or USB memory

exceeds the limitations described above.

Do not make a file’s playback time more than 1 hour.

Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs,

and CD-RWs.

This device also can play back USB memory media.

Corresponding File Systems

This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or

Level 2.

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.

This device also supports FAT 12/16/32 for USB memory device.

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 files

Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes

them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what

is expected. Verify the writing order in the software’s

documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as

follows.

* The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no file is

contained in the folder.

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 3.4cm steps.

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 ÷ 343*1 × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

*1Speed 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.

Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

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

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,

consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

4.2ch (FRONT/REAR/SUBW.) mode

2.2ch (3WAY) mode

* Only when selecting USER’S in “Setting the Response Slope for the

High Range Speaker (TW SETUP)” (page 28).

•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 IMPRINT

Alpine introduces IMPRINT - the world’s first technology that

thoroughly eliminates in-car acoustic problems that normally degrade

sound quality, which enables us to experience music the way the artist

intended.

All good music starts as an artist’s vision. After countless hours of

rehearsing, recording and mixing, that vision is ready for us to hear on

discs, radio and other media. But do we hear it as the artist created it?

Unfortunately, the reality is that we are almost never able to listen to it

in the exact way the artist intended. Especially when we are listening in

a car.

Car interiors are full of materials that obstruct and degrade sound

quality. For example, windows amplify and reflect high frequencies.

Seat and dashboard coverings change certain frequencies. Carpets

absorb and suppress mid frequencies. Graphic and parametric EQs are

only partial remedies for these problems. In addition, the speakers are

not located at equal distances from listeners, creating an unbalanced,

uncentred sound stage. Time correction can help fix this, but only for

one listening position.

These acoustical problems are so severe that no correction system has

been able to overcome them. Until now, with the introduction of

IMPRINT, Alpine provides a hardware/software combination that not

only solves these problems, it actually improves the sound stage, tonal

balance and definition - and does it automatically, in a matter of

minutes!

IMPRINT using MultEQ is superior to other equalization systems in

five ways.

•It is the only system that measures the entire listening area,

capturing time domain information from each listening

location and applying a proprietary method for processing it

to represent all seat locations. This gives the people in each

seat the optimal listening experience.

•It corrects both time and frequency problems, for an

improved soundstage and smoother, more natural sound.

•It uses dynamic frequency allocation to apply hundreds of

points of correction to those areas where the sound problems

are greatest.

•It determines optimized blending points for low frequency

crossovers.

•It provides, in minutes, vehicle sound tuning that generally

takes skilled professionals days to accomplish.

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the

following and pages 3 to 5 of this manual thoroughly for

proper use.

Warning

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product

damage.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may

result in fire, etc.

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 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.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING

SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.

Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other

safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for

installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable

control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE

REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,

consult a physician immediately.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER

VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR

GEARSHIFT.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.

and results in serious accident.

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.

Caution

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.

The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical

skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer

where you purchased this product to have the work done.

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM

SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than

designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not

securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become

loose resulting in hazards or product failure.

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 seat

rails) 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 CDA-105. This will reduce any chance of

damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the

diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to

malfunction or damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.

• When making connections to the vehicle’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 CDA-105 to the fuse box, make sure

the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-105 has the

appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to

the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your Alpine

dealer.

• The CDA-105 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 vehicle body.
