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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
Damaged Disc  
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 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.

Never Attempt the Following  
Correct Handling  
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.  
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.  
CORRECT  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
Inserting Discs  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
Disc Cleaning  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Disc Stabilizer  
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.  
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.  
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  
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  
ID3 tags/WMA tags  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
What is AAC?  
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.  
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, and is a  
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.  
Media supported  
What is WMA?  
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.  
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.  
Corresponding File Systems  
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
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”  
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to  
remember.  
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).  
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.  
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.  
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.  
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.

Terminology  
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.  
Volume: 0 ~ 35  
Sampling rate  
If no operation is performed for 5 seconds after selecting the SUBW  
LEVEL, BASS LEVEL, TREBLE LEVEL, BALANCE, FADER or  
DEFEAT mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode.  
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.

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 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.  
Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats  
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

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,  
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!  
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.  
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,  
uncentred 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.

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.  
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.  
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.  
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR  
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to  
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.  
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 INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR  
DUST.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
