the boat and cause an accident.  
Be sure the temperature inside the boat is between +60°C (+140°F)  
and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.  
Moisture Condensation  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Inserting Discs  
Correct Handling  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
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.  
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.  
CORRECT  
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  
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.  
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.

About MP3/WMA/AAC  
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.  
CAUTION  
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/  
WMA/AAC 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.  
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.  
What is MP3?  
Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC  
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/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.  
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.  
Media supported  
What is AAC?  
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.  
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, and is a  
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.  
Corresponding File Systems  
What is WMA?  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
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.  
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to  
remember.  
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files  
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root  
directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is  
limited.  
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),  
numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).  
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”  
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.  
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.  
Formats supported  
This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced  
CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.  
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.  
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with  
Track At Once or packet writing.  
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

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  
iPod nano (1st generation): Ver.1.3.1  
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.

Setting the Subwoofer System  
Setting the MX Level  
When the subwoofer is on, you can select either SYS 1 or SYS 2 for the  
desired subwoofer effect.  
MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct  
regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, USB memory and  
iPhone/iPod, will be able to reproduce the music clearly.  
SYS 1 (Initial setting)  
SYS 2  
SYS 1 :  
Subwoofer level changes according to the main  
volume setting.  
Changing the source to which you want to apply Media  
Xpander.  
SYS 2 :  
Subwoofer level change is different from the main  
volume setting. For example, even at low volume  
settings, the subwoofer is still audible.  
FM (MX level 1 to 3):  
The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces  
well balanced sound at all frequencies.  
Setting the Subwoofer Phase  
CD (MX level 1 to 3):  
CD mode processes a large amount of data during playback.  
MX takes advantage of this large data quantity to reproduce a  
more clear, clean output.  
NORMAL (Initial setting)  
REVERSE  
The subwoofer output phase is toggled SUBWOOFER NORMAL (0°)  
or SUBWOOFER REVERSE (180°). To adjust the level, turn the  
Rotary encoder.  
CMPM/SAT (MX level 1 to 3):  
This corrects information that was lost at the time of  
compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to  
the original.  
Setting the Subwoofer Channel  
(SUBW CHANNEL)  
DVD (MX level 1 to 3):  
A DVD or Video CD contains a large quantity of data such as  
music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound  
accurately.  
You can set the subwoofer output to stereo or monaural. Make sure to  
set the correct output for your subwoofer type.  
AUX (MX level 1 to 3):  
STEREO (Initial setting)  
MONO  
Choose the MX mode (CMPM, MOVIE, or MUSIC) that  
corresponds to the media connected.  
STEREO :Subwoofer stereo (L/R) output  
MONO : Subwoofer monaural output  
The initial setting of MX is different depending on the source.  
Each music source, such as FM radio, CD, and MP3/WMA/AAC can  
have its own MX setting.  
On discs with both MP3/WMA/AAC and CD-DA, when the source  
changes from “MP3/WMA/AAC to CD-DA” or “CD-DA to  
MP3/WMA/AAC”, MX-mode switching may delay playback slightly.  
Setting to Non Effect sets MX mode of each music source to OFF.  
This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON.  
There is no MX mode for AM radio.  
If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H701, etc.) is  
connected, its own MX processing is applied to the music source.  
Since the processor MX settings may not match the head unit, the  
audio processor needs to be adjusted. For details, refer to the  
Owner’s Manual of the audio processor.  
Setting the Response Slope for the High  
Range Speaker (TW Setup)  
Depending on the response characteristics of the speaker, care should be  
taken when setting the response slope of the high range speaker to  
FLAT in 2.2ch (3WAY) mode (see Adjusting the Crossover Settings  
(X-OVER)” on page 35), as speaker damage may result.  
FACTORY’S (Initial setting)  
USER’S  
FACTORY’S :As protection from possible speaker damage,  
FLAT cannot be set for the response slope of the  
high range speaker in 2.2ch (3WAY) mode.  
USER’S :  
The FLAT setting is possible in 2.2ch (3WAY)  
mode.  
“CMPM” is applied for MP3/WMA/AAC and iPhone/iPod.  
“SAT” is applied for XM radio and SIRIUS radio.  
Setting EQ mode  
This setting gives you a choice of 5-band parametric, or 7-band graphic  
equalizer.  
PARAMETRIC (Initial setting)  
GRAPHIC  
Setting the Filter type

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 Time Correction  
Time Correction Value List  
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a boat 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.

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.

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)

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.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
following and page 4 of this manual thoroughly for  
proper use.  
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.  
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.  
DO NOT CONNECT A POWER SUPPLY OTHER THAN A DC  
12V NEGATIVE GROUND TYPE.  
Failure to do so may result in accident or fire.  
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.  
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 hatch  
covers or engine covers) 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 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 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 DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.  
When drilling holes in the hull 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.  
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT  
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.  
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult  
a physician immediately.  
Precautions  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your CDA-118M. This will reduce any chance of  
damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER  
BOAT OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR  
THROTTLE CONTROLS.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.  
and results in serious accident.  
Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the  
diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to  
malfunction or damage to the boat’s electrical system.  
When making connections to the boat’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-118M to the fuse box, make  
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-118M has the  
appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to  
the unit and/or the boat. When in doubt, consult your Alpine  
dealer.  
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, throttle controls, etc.  
can be extremely hazardous.  
The CDA-118M 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 boat body.  
IMPORTANT  
SERIAL NUMBER:  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided
