Operating Instructions

Points to Observe for Safe Usage

Read this manual carefully before using this disc and the system components. They contain instructions on how to use this product in a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.

This manual uses various pictorial displays to show you how to use this product safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting from improper connections and operation. Following are the meanings of these pictorial displays. It is important to fully understand the meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use this manual and the system properly.

INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS APPLIED. It is dangerous for the driver to watch TV/Video while driving a vehicle. Installing this product incorrectly enables the driver to watch TV/Video while driving. This may cause a distraction, preventing the driver from looking ahead, thus causing an accident. The driver or other people could be severely injured.

DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING. Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.

DO NOT FOLLOW ROUTE SUGGESTIONS IF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTS YOU TO PERFORM AN UNSAFE OR ILLEGAL MANEUVER, OR PLACES YOU IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR AREA. This product is not a substitute for your personal judgement. Any route suggestions by this system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgement or knowledge of safe driving practise.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING. Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING. Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS. Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.

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.

WARNING

WARNING Operation of the system while driving is dangerous. Users

should stop vehicle before operating the software. Road conditions and regulations take precedence over

information contained on the map display: observe actual traffic restrictions and circumstances while driving.

This software is designed for use exclusively in the unit. It cannot and may not be used in conjunction with other hardware.

WARNING This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death.

ALPINE iLX-F309E 68-34732Z79-A (EN)

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 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 SHIFT LEVER. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and results in serious accident.

DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. If the unit is not installed correctly the air bag may not function correctly and when triggered the air bag may cause the monitor to spring upwards causing an accident and injuries.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.

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.

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.

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 wires 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.

CAUTION This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.

About the Crossover

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. 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 Owners Manual. We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value.

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 listeners 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 3.4 cm steps.

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* 1,000 = 5.1 (ms)

* Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20C

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.

Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

1 Sit in the listening position (drivers seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in metres) between your head and the various speakers.

2 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)

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 DAB/DAB+/DMB

What is DAB? DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the third generation broadcasting technology following the traditional analogue technologies such as FM. The advantages of DAB include being more robust with regard to noise, interference, instability, etc., during radio signal transmission. Also, it can provide stereo CD-quality sound and digital information, and it can resist multipath interference guaranteeing high-quality reception for fixed, portable and mobile devices.

What is DAB+? WorldDMB, the organisation in charge of the DAB standards, announced DAB+, a major upgrade to the DAB standard in 2006, when the HE-AAC v2 audio codec (also known as eAAC+) was adopted. The new standard, which is called DAB+, has also adopted the MPEG Surround audio format and stronger error correction coding in the form of Reed-Solomon coding. DAB+ has been standardised as ETSI TS 102 563.

What is DMB? DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is a future-orientated, new generation broadcasting system based on DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting). Where DAB upgraded the traditional analogue sound of FM to a CD-quality level, DMB advances simple sound broadcasting to the multimedia arena, striving to provide a visual service while transmitting high-quality sound. Users include entertainment programmes, intellectual traffic navigation, electronic newspapers and magazines, information provided by financial markets, the Internet, and integrated city information. It can be widely used by mobile carriers such as buses, taxis, light railways, underground railways, trains, ferries, airports, and by all kinds of people in the home and office.

a noisy location, difficulty hearing the other persons voice is normal. Depending on telephone line conditions or certain mobile devices used,

voices may sound unnatural. When using a microphone, speak as directly as you can into the

microphone to obtain the best sound quality. Certain mobile phone features are dependent on the capabilities and

settings of your service providers network. Additionally, certain features may not be activated by your service provider, and/or the providers network settings may limit the features functionality.

Indication mark meaning

When the car is put into reverse gear, the monitor switches to the rear view camera image. Guides appear to help visualise the cars width and distance from the rear bumper.

Car width extension marks (red, yellow and green in order of distance) If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the cars width. This helps guide the cars path when backing up in a straight line.

The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from the rear end of the bumper). The marks do not move in synchronisation with the steering

wheel. Set the marks to suit the cars width.

Camera Operation (Optional)

You can adjust the quality of the camera image. Setting items: Brightness / Colour / Contrast See Visual Setup (page 35).

Distance guidance marks The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from the rear end of the bumper). The marks do not move in synchronisation with the steering

wheel. We recommend that you measure the actual distance to the

marks when parked on a level surface.

Depending on the condition of the car or road surface, the range of vision may vary.

The camera has a limited range of vision. Objects at extreme angles to the camera (e.g. under the bumper or at opposite ends of the bumper) may not be in the its field-of-vision.

The rear camera image may have a tint which is different from the actual surroundings.

Depending on the car, the guidance may deviate to the right or left. This is not a malfunction.

Distance guidance mark

The distance guides represent the ground level distance from the rear bumper. It is difficult to accurately estimate the distance to objects above ground level.

In the following example, the distance to A is 0.5 m and the distance to B is 1 m.

In the screen, according to the distance guidance marks, the truck seems to be parked about 1 m away (at the position B). In actual fact, however, if you reversed to position A, you would collide with the truck. In the screen, positions A, B and C seem to be located in order of proximity. However, in actual fact, the position A and C are the same distance, and B is farther away than positions A and C.

The car width extension mark represents the distance to the road surface. The distance to an object on the road is not accurately represented by the guides.

Error between the screen and the actual road surface In the following conditions, errors are produced between the screen guidance and the actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a case when the camera is installed in the standard position.)

When there is a steep upward slope behind the car (example)

The distance guidance mark represents the distance to a flat road surface. Therefore in the case of an upward slope behind the car, the distance guides are displayed closer to the rear bumper than the actual distance. For example, if there is an obstacle on the upward slope, it may appear farther away than its actual position. Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the actual path of the car on the road surface.

When there is a steep downward slope behind the car (example)

In the case of a downward slope behind the car, the distance guides are displayed farther from the rear bumper than the actual distance. If there is an obstacle on the downward slope, it seems closer than its actual position. Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the actual path of the car on the road surface.

About the Supported Formats

For the list of video formats supported from a USB flash drive, see About USB Video format (page 56).

What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is MPEG Audio Layer 3, is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardisation Organisation 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 realises such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.

What is WMA?

WMA, or Windows Media Audio, is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.

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 FLAC?

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file codec for lossless compression, developed and offered as open source software. Codecs with lossy compression forms, such as MP3 and AAC, reduce part of the data to improve compression efficiency. However, FLAC can reconstruct compressed data to be an identical copy of the original data by performing lossless compression. The compression ratio of FLAC is about 50%.

Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files

Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/ FLAC (USB Flash drive) files, refer to the users manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files that are playable on this device have the file extensions. MP3: mp3 WMA: wma AAC: m4a FLAC: flac/fla WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 10 std or Windows Media Audio 10 Pro Lossless.

There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. Its possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid. Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

MP3 (USB Flash drive)

Corresponding File Systems

This device supports FAT 16/32.

Order of files

Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be whats expected. Verity the writing order in the softwares documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows. (The following numbers may differ from actually displayed numbers.)

Terminology

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.

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.

Encoding

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

Tag Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB flash drive) files.

Root folder

The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically for all burned discs.

The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory). File names are limited to 256 characters (including the extension). Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and _ (underscore).
