PRECAUTIONS  
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.  
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  
CORRECT  
INCORRECT  
Inserting Discs  
Disc Cleaning  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
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.  
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 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.

Basic Operation  
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left  
speaker in the diagram at the left.  
BAND  
Rotary encoder  
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.  
T. CORR  
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").  
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 listeners right  
versus the left ear.  
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.  
To correct this, the CDA-7995/CDA-7894/CDA-7893/CDA-  
7892 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.  
Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats  
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost  
the same level.  
1
2
Sit in the listening position (drivers seat, etc.) and  
measure the distance (in meters) between your head  
and the various speakers.  
The adjustment will be made for each speaker in a step of  
0.1 ms.  
Calculate the difference between the distance to the  
farthest speaker and the other speakers.  
L = (distance to farthest speaker) (distance to other  
speakers)  
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.  
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.  
5.1ms  
0.5m  
2.25m  
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 9.  
8-EN  
Example of Steps 2 and 3 Setting  
Bass Focus  
(1) After entering corrections for the front (left and right)  
speakers in STEP 5, the time difference is 1.5 ms for  
both front-left and front-right speakers.  
The time difference between the front-rear/left-right  
speakers, can be adjusted at the same time. With an  
initial delay of 0.3 ms for each of the 0 to 39 steps,  
audible time correction can be done. For finer  
adjustment, use the procedure in the previous section  
"Time Correction," for which the delay steps are 0.1 ms.

Tips  
* Subwoofer speaker.  
For setting another channel (speaker), repeat the steps  
2 and 3.  
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 .  
After setting, press the T.CORR to return to the normal  
mode.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
Caution  
following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual thoroughly  
for proper use.  
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.  
Warning  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or  
product damage.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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 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  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your CDA-7995/CDA-7894/CDA-7893/CDA-7892.  
This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a  
short-circuit.  
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.  
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-7995/CDA-7894/CDA-7893/  
CDA-7892 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended  
circuit of the CDA-7995/CDA-7894/CDA-7893/CDA-7892 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-7995/CDA-7894/CDA-7893/CDA-7892 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.  
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.  
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.
