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

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.

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 Owner’s 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 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 0.02 ms
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* × 1,000 = 5.10 (ms)

In other words, giving the front left speaker a time

Time correction eliminates the differences in the time

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.

Indication mark meaning
When the car is put into reverse gear, the monitor switches
to the rear view camera image. Guides appear to help
visualize the car’s width and distance from the rear bumper.
Car width extension lines (red, yellow and
green in order of distance)
If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the car’s width.
This helps guide the car’s 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 synchronization with the
steering wheel.
• Set the marks to suit the car’s width.
Distance guidance lines
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the
car (from the rear end of the bumper).
• The marks do not move in synchronization 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.
<Screen>

A
(about
0.5 m)
<Positions of A, B and C>
about 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.)

may appear farther away than its actual position.

What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG 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 WMA?
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio
data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.

What is WMA?
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compr
data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced A
and is a basic format of audio compr
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%.
What is WAV?
WAV is a standard audio format for Windows. It is the
original format before compression. You can enjoy music
with almost the same sound quality as a CD. WAV is also
known as WAVE.
What is APE?
APE is a format called lossless compression. It can be
restored to its original quality by decoding. Mainly, it is
used in “Monkey’s Audio.”
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/WAV/APE
(USB Flash drive) files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/
WMA/AAC/FLAC/WAV/APE (USB Flash drive) codecs. For
details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/WAV/APE (USB
Flash drive) files, refer to the user’s manual for that
software.
MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/WAV/APE (USB Flash drive) files
that are playable on this device have the file extensions.
MP3: “mp3”
WMA: “wma”
AAC: “m4a”
FLAC: “flac”/”fla”
WAV: “wav ”
APE: “ape”
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. It’s possible that the
format may be unplayable even though the extension is
valid.

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.
ALPINE iLX-F509E 68-41657Z84-A (EN)ALPINE iLX-F509E 68-41657Z84-A (EN)
58-EN
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/
WAV/APE (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 USB flash drives.

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.
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 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.
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.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM
SECURELY.

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 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.
