17-EN About MP3/WMA/AAC 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. 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. 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. What is AAC? AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4. What is WMA? 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. Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA/AAC specified software. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user’s manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC file extensions that can be played back on the unit are as follows: MP3: “mp3” WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.1, 8, 9, 9.1, 9.2 supported) AAC: “m4a” WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows Media Audio 9 Pro Lossless.

This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2.2.0, v2.3.0 and WMA tag. The following files do not support compression, coding, grouping or non-synchronization. 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 and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO SUPPORT” is displayed. The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending on the contents. Do not make a file’s playback time more than 1 hour. Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, and then written to USB memory. Or, synchronize an MP3/WMA file using Windows Media Player (Ver. 7.1, 8, 9, 9.1, 9.2), and then forward to the Portable audio player. A USB memory device can hold up to 10,000 files/1000 folders (including Root Folders). Playback may not be performed if a USB memory / Portable audio player device exceeds the limitations described above. Do not make a file’s playback time more than 1 hour. Media supported This device can play back USB memory / Portable audio player media. Corresponding File Systems This device supports FAT 12/16/32. 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. However, the folder and file playback order differs from the folder and file number indicated on the display.

Depending on the software that is used to create AAC, the file format may differ from the extension.

Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported. Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates MP3 Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz Bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps WMA Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz Bit rates: 16 - 320 kbps AAC Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz Bit rates: 8 - 576 kbps This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates. The playback time may not be correctly displayed when a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recorded file is played back.

* The folder No./folder Name will not be displayed if no file is contained in the folder.

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.

Sound Setting iDA-X200

Double Action encoder

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.

Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.

INCH Setting the MX Level

MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, USB memory and iPod, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.

Changing the source to which you want to apply Media

Xpander. FM (MX level 1 to 3): The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces well balanced sound at all frequencies. 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. 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. 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. AUX (MX level 1): Choose the MX mode (CMPM, MOVIE, or MUSIC) that corresponds to the media connected.

• 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 disks 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. • “CMPM” is applied for MP3/WMA/AAC and iPod. • “SAT” is applied for XM radio and SIRIUS radio.

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

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.

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.

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"). Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram on the above. 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*1 × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

*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. 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)

Output frequency range (0 to –12 dB)

Crossover (X-OVER): 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. 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. We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value.

About IMPRINT INTRODUCING 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!

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 equalisation 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.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

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.

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.

(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.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to 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.

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.

DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.

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.

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.

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing your iDA-X200/iDA-X300. 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 iDA-X200/iDA-X300 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the iDA-X200/ iDA-X300 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 iDA-X200/iDA-X300 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 vehicle body.
