Never Attempt the Following  
Installation Location  
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.  
Make sure the DVA-9965 will not be installed in a location  
subjected to:  
•
•
•
•
Direct sun and heat  
High humidity and water  
Excessive dust  
Excessive vibrations  
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.  
CORRECT  
Inserting Discs  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one 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  
INCORRECT  
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,  
“Error” will be displayed if discs with irregular surface are  
inserted 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 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.

protecting the disc surface and improving sound quality.  
However, most of them will influence the thickness and/or

be out of standard specifications and may create operational  
problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs  
played in Alpine CD players.

Tips for making your own CDs  
The DVA-9965 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has  
8 cm  
Approx.  
(CD single) 20 Minutes  
a built in MP3/WMA decoder.  
The following information is designed to help you create your  
own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA encoded CD-R/  
RW files).  
* Two-layer DVD disc compatible  
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA  
CD?  
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in  
the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)/  
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a data file that uses a  
compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file.  
*
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA) CD-R/RW discs:  
The DVA-9965 can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA  
to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA to play the MP3/  
WMA section.*

Multisession CD-R/RW:  
Disc terminology  
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered as one  
session. If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may  
be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this  
becomes a “multisession” CD. The DVA-9965 can only read  
multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA files - Not  
Audio CD files).  
Title  
If titles are programmed for the DVD, these are the largest units  
of division of the information recorded on the disc.  
Chapter  
Each Title may also be divided into smaller divisions, called  
chapters. These can be specific scenes or musical selections.  
Properly formatted MP3/WMA Discs:  
Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use  
standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32  
characters) or Joliet (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file  
naming conventions*.

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.

Producing MP3/WMA discs  
MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-  
RW (DVD-R) using CD-R writing software. This device can  
read up to 1024 files/256 folders (including Root Folders).  
Depending on the structure of the folders or files, it may take  
time to read a disc. In this case, it is recommended to  
decrease the number of folders or files.

Corresponding File Systems  
Terminology  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Encoding  
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files  
into the specified audio compression format.  
Formats supported  
This device supports CD-ROM, 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.  
Tag  
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,  
etc., written into MP3/WMA files.  
MP3: ID3 tag  
WMA: WMA tag  
Order of files  
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. However, the folder and file playback order  
differs from the folder and file number indicated on the  
display.

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.  
(Different from actual display)  
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

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.

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left  
speaker in the diagram on the above.  
Recalling the Stored Crossover Settings  
Conditions:  
Press and hold MENU for at least 2 seconds.  
1
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*1 × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)  
Select the Crossover mode by sliding your finger  
on the GlideTouch bar to the left or right. Press  
the GlideTouch bar under the Crossover mode.  
2
*1 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.  
Press FUNC. or the GlideTouch bar to activate  
the preset mode.  
3
Select any one of the preset numbers (1 through 6)  
4
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.  
by sliding your finger on the GlideTouch bar to  
the left or right. Press the GlideTouch bar under  
the desired preset to recall the stored contents.  
Press and hold MENU for at least 2 seconds to  
return to normal mode.

Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats  
•
If MENU is pressed while adjusting or setting the items in the  
MENU mode, the unit returns to the previous selection screen.  
By pressing the GlideTouch bar under RETURN in the MENU  
mode, the unit will return to the normal mode.  
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.

About Time Correction  
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, the DVA-9965 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.  
Calculate the difference between the distance to  
2
the farthest speaker and the other speakers.  
L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other  
speakers)  
Divide the distances calculated for the speakers by  
3
the speed of sound (343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C).  
These values are the time correction values for the  
different speakers.  
The adjustment will be made for each speaker in 0.1 ms steps.  
continued  
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.  
5.1ms  
0.5m  
2.25m  
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").

Compensation time = 1.75 ÷ 343 x 1000 = 5.1 (ms)  
In other words, setting the time correction value for the front

The subwoofer can be set only to ON/OFF.  
If the center speaker is turned “OFF,” the centre channel’s audio  
signals are added to the audio signals output from the front  
speakers.  
If you set the speaker response to “OFF,” also set the speaker  
setting to “OFF.” (page 46)  
Perform the setup for all the speakers (“Front,” “Center,” “Rear”  
and “Subwoofer”). If not, the sound may not be balanced.  
When centre is set to “OFF”, the setting is ineffective even if  
centre is set with this function.  
Through changing the settings on each speaker, a change in the  
output of the other speakers may occur due to the setting  
requirements.

Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM)  
Achieving powerful high volume sound (LISTENING)  
In most installations, the centre speaker must be placed directly  
between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the centre  
channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This  
creates an acoustic image simulating a centre speaker directly in front  
of each listener. Adjusting the centre width in PL II MUSIC (see  
“Using the Pro Logic II Mode,” page 52), makes this function  
ineffective.  
With Dolby Digital, the dynamic range is compressed so that  
powerful sound can be achieved at regular volume levels. This  
compression can be cancelled to achieve an energetic sound with even  
greater power, like the sound in a movie theatre.  
This function works only in the Dolby Digital mode.  
Check that Defeat mode is off (page 20).

Pro Logic processing can be conducted on the music signals recorded  
on two channels to achieve Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound. For  
two-channel Dolby Digital and DTS signals, there is also a “REAR  
FILL” function for outputting the signals of the front channel to the  
rear channel.

Dolby Pro Logic  
Terminology  
Dolby Pro Logic is the technology used to decode programs  
encoded in Dolby Surround. Pro logic decoding will provide  
you with four channels of sound (front left/right, centre and  
monaural rear surround) from a 2-channel (stereo) source.  
* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H900) is  
required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital is a digital audio compression technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories that allows large quantities  
of audio data to be efficiently recorded on discs. It is  
compatible with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the  
way up to 5.1-channel surround sound. The signals for the  
different channels are completely independent, and since the  
sound is high quality digital there is no loss of sound quality.  
* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H900, PXA-  
H701 etc.) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II plays 2-channel sources in 5 channels over  
the entire frequency range.  
This is done with an advanced, high sound quality matrix  
surround decoder which draws out the spatial properties of the  
original recording without adding any sounds to or changing  
the sound of the source.  
The DVA-9965 performs Dolby Digital decoding when it  
outputs analog audio signals; 2-channel audio, not 5.1-  
channel.  
* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H701 etc.) is  
required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.  
Linear PCM audio (LPCM)  
LPCM is a signal recording format used for music CDs.  
Whereas music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits, DVDs  
are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby  
achieving higher sound quality than music CDs.

DTS  
This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound  
System. This is a high quality sound system, developed by  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. for use in movie theatres.  
DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theater  
presentation is fully realized in the home, etc. DTS is the  
abbreviation for Digital Theater System.  
* To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the separately sold DTS  
digital audio processor (PXA-H900, PXA-H701 etc.). The DVD  
video software must also have a DTS sound track.  
The DVA-9965 has a built-in DTS 2-channel audio decoder.  
Analog audio outputs are available.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
following and pages 3 to 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.  
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  
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 disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your DVA-9965. 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 DVA-9965 to the fuse box,  
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the DVA-9965  
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 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,  
•
The DVA-9965 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.  
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.
