Operating Instructions  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
This symbol means important instructions. Failure  
to heed them can result in injury or material  
property damage.  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or  
death.  
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.  
PRECAUTIONS  
Temperature  
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL  
HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.  
Failure to do so may result in an accident.  
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C  
(+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.  
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.  
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of  
the vehicle and cause an accident.  
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.  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.  
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.  
Damaged Disc  
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 attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs.  
Playing a bad disc could severely damage the playback  
mechanism.  
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.  
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.  
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING  
FUSES.  
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.  
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  
Tape Slack  
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.  
Check and make sure any slack in the tape is taken up before  
inserting the tape into the unit. A loose tape can get caught in the  
mechanism and cause damage to the unit and the tape itself.  
Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil or a similar instrument into  
the spindle hole and turn until all the slack has been taken up.  
Inserting Discs  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
Excessively Thin Tape  
C-120 type cassette tapes are not recommended for use in  
automobile tape players.  
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.  
Precision Tape Mechanism  
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.  
Prevent any foreign objects from entering the cassette opening as  
the precision mechanism and tape head may be damaged.  
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can damage the tape head.  
New Discs  
Tape Head Cleaning  
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.  
Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20 hours of use) of the  
tape head with a wet type head-cleaning cassette tape (available at  
audio stores) is necessary for best performance.  
Fuse Replacement  
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same  
amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse blows more  
than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted  
circuitry. Also have your vehicle's voltage regulator checked.

3-EN  
Correct Handling  
On handling Compact Discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)  
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.  
Do not touch the surface.  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.  
Do not affix stickers or labels and do not write on the surface.  
Clean the disc when it is dusty.  
Make sure that there are no bumps around the disc.  
Do not use commercially available disc accessories.  
CORRECT  
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  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
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 media that can be played with the CDA-W560EX.  
Use only compact discs with the label side showing the CD logo  
marks below.  
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.  
If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot  
be guaranteed.  
You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordable)/CD-RWs (CD-  
ReWritable) for audio use on this unit. You can also play CD-Rs/  
CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA formatted audio files.  
Some of the following CDs may not play on this unit:  
Flawed CDs, CDs with fingerprints, CDs exposed to extreme  
temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), CDs  
recorded under unstable conditions, CDs on which a recording  
failed or a re-recording was attempted, copy-protected CDs  
which do not conform to the audio CD industry standard.  
Use discs with MP3/WMA files written in a format compatible  
with this unit. For details, see page 12-13.  
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.

Producing MP3/WMA discs  
About MP3/WMA  
MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-  
RW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510  
files/folders (including Root Folders).  
CAUTION  
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/  
WMA data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether  
for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is  
strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international  
treaty.  
Media supported  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-  
Rs, and CD-RWs.  
Corresponding File Systems  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
What is MP3?  
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG 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.  
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to  
remember.  
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root  
directory). File/folder names are limited to 31 characters  
(including the extension).  
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.  
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),  
numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).  
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.  
What is WMA?  
Formats supported  
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio  
data.  
WMA allows you to create music files and store them at higher  
ratios of compression than MP3 audio data (approx. half  
original size). This is achieved while still maintaining CD  
quality sound.  
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.  
Method for creating MP3/WMA files  
Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified  
software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the  
user's manual for that software.  
MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have  
the file extension “mp3” / “wma”. Files with no extension  
cannot be played back. (WMA ver. 7.1 and 8 are supported)  
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates  
MP3  
Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz,  
16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz  
Bit rates:  
8 - 320 kbps  
WMA  
Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz,  
22.05 kHz  
Bit rates:  
32 - 192 kbps  
Note that for sampling rates, this device’s frame display (Page  
10) may not display correctly.  
This device may not play back correctly depending on  
sampling rates.  
ID3 tags/WMA tags  
This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA tag.  
If tag data is in an MP3/WMA 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 and the underscore (up to 30 characters, and up  
to 15 characters for WMA). For non-supported characters,  
“NO SUPPORT” is displayed.  
12-EN  
Order of tracks  
The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software  
Terminology  
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.  
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.

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left  
speaker in the diagram at the left.  
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.  
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*2 × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)  
*2 Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C  
To correct this, the CDA-W560EX 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.  
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").  
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.  
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.  
5.1ms  
Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and  
measure the distance (in meters) between your  
head and the various 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.  
Tips  
*1 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.

Example of Steps 3 and 4 Setting  
Setting the 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) 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.

speaker.  
Repeat Step 3 and set another (speaker) channel.  
*2 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.

Installation and Connections  
Caution  
For installation and connections to the CDA-W560EG,  
consult the dealer from whom you purchased it.  
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.  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
following and pages 2 to 4 of this manual thoroughly  
for proper use.  
Warning  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE  
SURROUNDING OBJECTS.  
OR DUST.  
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.  
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  
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.  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your CDA-W560E. This will reduce any chance of  
damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
Be sure to connect the colour 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-W560E to the fuse box,  
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-W560E  
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 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.  
The CDA-W560E 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.  
IMPORTANT  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space  
provided below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial  
number plate is located on the bottom of the unit.  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.  
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
