Operating Instructions  
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.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury  
or death.  
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.  
INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE DRIVER  
CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS  
STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS APPLIED.  
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.  
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,  
electric shock or other injury.  
It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) for the driver to watch  
TV/Video while driving a vehicle. Installing this product  
incorrectly enables the driver to watch TV/Video while driving.  
This may cause a distraction, preventing the driver from looking  
ahead, thus causing an accident. The driver or other people could be  
severely injured.  
CAUTION  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in injury or  
material property damage.  
DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.  
Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of  
the vehicle and cause an accident.  
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.  
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.  
DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES.  
INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.  
When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity  
(+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the  
battery may cause fire or personal injury.  
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.  
4-EN  
         
The iXA-W407 draws minimal current even when its power switch is  
turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iXA-W407 is  
connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the  
battery may be discharged.  
PRECAUTIONS  
Product Cleaning  
An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be  
added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the  
OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back  
ON before using the iXA-W407. For connecting the SPST switch,  
(page 67). If the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be  
disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused  
for an extended period of time.  
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 -20°C (-4°F) before turning your unit on.  
Protecting the USB connector  
Maintenance  
Only an iPhone/iPod, USB memory or Portable audio player can  
be connected to the USB connector on this unit. Correct  
performance using other USB products cannot be guaranteed.  
If the USB connector is used, be sure to use only the supplied  
connector cable with the unit. A USB hub is not supported.  
Depending on the connected USB memory device, the unit may  
not function or some functions may not be performed.  
The audio file format that can be played back on the unit is MP3/  
WMA/AAC.  
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.  
Installation Location  
Make sure the iXA-W407 will not be installed in a location  
subjected to:  
Direct sun and heat  
High humidity and water  
Excessive dust  
Artist/song name, etc., can be displayed, however characters  
may not be correctly displayed.  
Excessive vibrations  
After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will  
remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology  
and is normal.  
In cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast  
temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will return to  
normal.  
CAUTION  
Alpine accepts no responsibility for lost data, etc., even if data, etc.,  
is lost while using this product.  
On Handling USB Memory  
This unit can control a memory storage device that supports the  
USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) protocol. Playable audio file  
formats are MP3, WMA and AAC.  
USB memory function is not guaranteed. Use USB memory  
according to the terms of agreement. Read the USB memory  
Owner’s Manual thoroughly.  
Avoid usage or storage in the following locations:  
Anywhere in the car exposed to direct sunlight or high  
temperatures.  
Anywhere the possibility of high humidity or corrosive  
substances are present.

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the  
iXA-W407, can be operated from the iXA-W407. Depending on  
the products connected, the functions and displays will vary. For  
details, consult your Alpine dealer.  
Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex.  
Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions  
into a special screen. This will restrict operation of these functions  
to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the  
driver’s attention will be on the road and not on the iXA-W407.  
This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers.  
Audio Processor Adjustments cannot be made if the car is moving.  
The car must be parked and the parking brake must be engaged for  
the procedure described in the Owner’s Manual to be valid. The  
warning “CAN’T OPERATE WHILE DRIVING” will be  
displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations  
while driving.  
Depending on the settings of the USB memory type, memory  
state or encoding software, the unit may not play back or display  
properly.

speakers. Setting these values to make each sound reach the  
listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.  
About Time Correction  
Time Correction Value List  
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.

* 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.

About the Crossover  
Output frequency range  
Crossover (X-Over):  
Slope FLAT  
Slope adjusting  
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.  
20 Hz  
(Different from actual display)  
HPF cut-off LPF cut-off  
frequency frequency  
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 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.

INTRODUCING IMPRINT  
About IMPRINT  
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!  
VISION VS. REALITY  
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.  
CARS ARE TERRIBLE LISTENING SPACES  
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,  
uncentered sound stage. Time correction can help fix this, but only for  
one listening position.  
HOW IMPRINT IS DIFFERENT  
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.

searched.  
During shuffle (M.I.X.) playback, this operation is not possible.  
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.  
Select the desired Folder (Folder up/  
down)  
If you listen to a file from a selected folder, the folder can be changed.  
Touch FOLDER [ ] or [ ] to select the folder.  
What is AAC?  
During shuffle (M.I.X.) playback, this operation is not possible.  
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a  
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.  
What is WMA?  
Creating the playlist from the Artist/  
Album information of the current song  
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.  
When a song is played back, a playlist about all the songs with the same  
Artist or Album stored in the USB memory or Portable audio player can  
be created.  
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:

WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media  
Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows  
Media Audio 9 Pro Lossless.

Touch [  
] or [  
] to create the playlist.  
According to the artist/album information of the current song, a

Depending on the software that is used to create AAC, the file  
format may differ from the extension.  
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

Sampling rate  
Confirmed devices regarding Made for iPod. Correct function  
of earlier versions cannot be guaranteed.  
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.

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.  
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.  
Precautions  
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your iXA-W407. This will reduce any chance of  
damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
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.  
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 iXA-W407 to the fuse box, make sure  
the fuse for the intended circuit of the iXA-W407 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.  
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.  
The iXA-W407 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.  
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.  
The Display must be completely retracted in the casing when  
installing. If it is not, problems may occur.  
When installing in automobiles, make sure the Display can open/  
close without coming in contact with the gear shift.

If your vehicle has no ACC power supply, add an SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) and fuse (sold separately).  
The diagram and the fuse amperage shown above are in the case when iXA-W407 is used individually.  
If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iXA-W407 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicles battery, the iXA-W407 draws  
some current (several hundred milliamperes) even when its switch is placed in the OFF position and the battery may be discharged.  
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.  
Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.  
Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.  
Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.  
If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various  
noise suppressors, contact them for further information.  
Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.
