WARNING
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 ball-
point 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 ball-point 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
About the Crossover
Crossover:
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.
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.
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).

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.

About the Time Correction
Preset buttons (1 through 6)
BAND
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.
To correct this, the CDA-7998/CDA-7897 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.

to the front by adjusting the Time Correction value of the front
and rear speakers.

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left
speaker in the diagram at the left.
Bass Focus
Conditions:
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.
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
1
Press the T.CORR button to select the Bass Focus
mode.
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.
→ Bass Focus mode → Time correction mode
Normal mode ←
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").
2
Press the BAND button to select the front-rear / left-
right speakers.
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 of Steps 2 and 3 Setting
(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.
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 .

SETUP
• 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.
Setting the Range of MP3 File Selection
You can set the range of MP3 file selection to “entire
disc contents” or “folder contents only.”
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is
capable of compressing the audio data at extremely high
ratios shrinking music files by 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.

• Method for creating MP3 files
The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or free
from various sources. For details on creating MP3 files,
refer to the user's manual for that software.
The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have
the file extension “mp3”. Files with no extension can not be
played back.
• DISC ALL
: plays all the files on one disc
• FOLDER ONLY : plays files in the selected folder only.
NOTES
•
•
The initial setting at the factory is DISC ALL.
If a changer compatible with MP3 is used, the range of MP3
file selection applies to REPEAT, M.I.X. and SCAN modes only.
In normal mode, the unit plays all files on a disc even when you

title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag data.
This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric
characters and the underscore. For non-supported
characters, “NO SUPPORT” is displayed.

• Corresponding File Systems
Terminology
Bit rate
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1
or Level 2.
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.
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).
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all
caps), numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).
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 level 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.
This device also can play back discs in Joliet, and other
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes
the file names, folder names, etc. are not displayed correctly.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other
sound files into the specified audio compression
format.
• Formats supported
This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD,
Enhanced CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.
This device can not correctly play back discs recorded
with Track At Once or packet writing.
ID3 tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names,
album names, etc., written into MP3 files.
• Order of tracks
The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software
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.

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-7998/CDA-7897.
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-7998/CDA-7897 to the fuse box,
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-7998/
CDA-7897 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-7998/CDA-7897 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.

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.
