Handling the Detachable Front Panel  
Never Attempt the Following  
Do not expose to rain or water.  
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.  
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.  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
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.  
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 centre 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.  
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.  
Disc Accessories  
Centre Hole  
Centre Hole  
New Disc  
There are various accessories available on the market for  
protecting the disc surface and improving sound quality.

Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left  
speaker in the diagram at the left.  
(Only available when using the subwoofer output from  
this unit.)  
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  
NOTES  
If you turn the battery power OFF, all settings return to  
factory default.  
*
If HPF, LPF, Bass Control and Treble Control are all set to  
ON, depending on the Bass Control and Treble Control  
settings, you may not be able to reinforce the sound effect.  
Except when the HPF and LPF is turned OFF, the  
subwoofer is in monaural mode.  
When the subwoofer is set to OFF, LPF mode and change of  
phase does not work.  
If no buttons are pressed within 15 seconds, the display for  
setup menu disappears while an ordinary menu appears on  
the display.  
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").  
About the Time Correction  
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.  
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 2. Listening Position: All Seats  
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost  
the same level.  
1
2
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 to the  
farthest speaker and the other speakers.  
L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other  
speakers)  
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.  
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.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read  
the following and pages 2 and 3 of this manual  
thoroughly for proper use.  
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.  
Warning  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or  
product damage.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE  
OR DUST.  
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.  
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.  
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE  
Precautions  
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to  
electrical shorts.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER  
VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL  
OR GEARSHIFT.  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space  
provided below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial  
number plate is located on the bottom of the unit.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.

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.
