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.

Handling the Detachable Front Panel

• Do not expose to rain or water.

• Do not drop or apply shock.

Correct Handling

Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc by its edge so that no fingerprints are left 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.

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.

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.

To correct this, the CDM-7892R 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 a step of

0.1 ms.

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.

0.5m

2.25m

5.1ms

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram at the left.

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.

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").

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.

1

Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.

2

Calculate the difference between the distance to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.

L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other speakers)

3

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 8.

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.

• Time Correction mode is automatically cancelled if no buttons are pressed within 15 seconds.

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.

MX T.CORR

Bass Focus

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.

1.5ms

(2) After entering corrections for the left (front and rear) speakers in STEP 15, 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 15 makes the time difference of the front left speaker 3.0 ms.

For setting another channel (speaker), repeat the steps

2 and 3.

Tips

* Subwoofer speaker.

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 .

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 2 and 3 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.

Warning

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Precautions

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing your CDM-7892R. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the colour 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 CDM-7892R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDM-7892R 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 CDM-7892R 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.
