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

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 listener’s 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.

Sit in the listening position (driver’s 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.

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

* 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.

1.5ms

Press the T.CORR button to select the Bass Focus

mode.

→ Bass Focus mode → Time correction mode

∗

Normal mode ←

Press the BAND button to select the front-rear / left-

right speakers.

(2) After entering corrections for the left (front and rear)

speakers in STEP 5, the time difference becomes 3.0

ms* for the front left speaker and 1.5 ms for the left

rear speaker.

* Because the time difference was already set to 1.5 ms

for the front left speaker in STEP 1, the additional

correction in STEP 5 makes the time difference of the

front left speaker 3.0 ms.

∗

Turn the Rotary encoder to adjust the front-rear / left-

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.

NOTES

•

Any manual time correction adjustments will also affect

corrections made in Bass Focus. However, since the interval

of the manual mode is 0.1ms and that of Bass Focus is 1 step

(0.3ms), some difference may occur.

•

Time Correction mode is automatically canceled if no buttons

are pressed within 15 seconds.

Bit rate

• Producing MP3 discs

MP3 files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW

using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 512

files/folders (including Root Folders).

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.

• Media supported

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.

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs,

CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

• Corresponding File Systems

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.
