Using the Speaker Input

The unit can interrupt the system (navigation or telephone) of the car. The audio can also be played back on the unit if the car system of the audio (CD, etc.) is selected as the source.

The unit makes the sound interruption according to the sound output level of the car system. If any of the following settings are not correctly made, sound may not interrupt, or loud sound may suddenly interrupt.

Setting the Speaker Input Mode

The following explains how to install the system (navigation/telephone) in your car. While listening to the radio, you can have navigation voice guidance or a received telephone call interrupt automatically. You can also select the speaker input mode (FACTORY SYS) on the source selection screen.

Setting items: FACT SYS SET

Setting content: OFF / SOURCE / INT / BOTH

SOURCE: The system (CD, etc.) of the car can be selected as a source.

Navigation/telephone voice of the car is not interrupted.

INT: Interrupts only the navigation/telephone voice of the car.

BOTH: The system (CD, etc.) of the car can be selected as the source.

Navigation/telephone voice of the car is interrupted.

OFF: Operation and setting of the speaker input mode is not performed.

If the car system (CD, etc.) is set to SOURCE and played back in a car with multi-channel speakers, sound such as treble, etc., may not be correctly output.

Depending on the conditions of use, the INT or SOURCE setting is recommended.

If INT is set, do not output CD audio from the car system.

With BOTH set, if the source is set to other than FACTORY SYS, do not output CD audio, etc., from the car system.

If OFF is to set, speaker input mode settings cannot be made.

Displaying the Speaker Input Volume Level

The volume level of the speaker input is displayed numerically. Adjustment can be made only on the system in your car (standard car audio, etc.), and cannot be made by this unit.

Setting items: FACT SYS LV

Setting content: 0 to 2 L / 3 to 15: OK / 16 to 18 H

L:Volume level is LOW

OK: Volume level is optimally adjusted

H:Volume level is HIGH

Adjust the volume for optimum level.

Set the volume as loud as possible, but before the onset of distortion (The volume level should not exceed 15). Even if OK is displayed, if any distortion is apparent, decrease the car audio's volume.

Turn off the car audio's TREBLE, BASS settings.

The volume level cannot be displayed when OFF is set in "Setting the Speaker Input Mode" (page 14).

Setting the Navigation/Speaker Input Voice Interruption

With an Alpine navigation system connected to the VPA-B222, the voice guidance of the navigation system will be mixed with the radio play. Also, the setting of interruption of the speaker input voice can be adjusted.

Setting item: GUIDE MIX

Setting content: OFF / ON

OFF: The navigation/speaker input interruption mode is turned off.

ON: The navigation/speaker input interruption mode is on.

Adjusting the Speaker Input's Interruption Detection Level

You can set the level for voice interruption.

Setting items: FACT SYS DET

Setting level: 1 to 15

When the setting level is low, the voice interrupts even if a low volume level is set on the system

The setting can be made when INT or BOTH is set in "Setting the Speaker Input Mode" (page 14).

Warning beeps such as for seat belts may also output from the speakers, depending to the car. Make sure that voice interruption sounds correctly in such a car.

We recommend initially setting the level to 8. Set the voice interruption level to more than 8 if interruption is too frequent, or set it to less than 8 if interruption is not frequent enough.

Adjusting the Speaker Input Voice Interruption Level

The output level of the speaker input interruption can be adjusted.

Setting items: FACT SYS MIX

Setting level: 0 to 15

The setting can be made when INT or BOTH is set in “Setting the Speaker Input Mode” (page 14).

Begin this setting after setting GUIDE MIX to ON and GUIDE MIX LV to 15, when an external audio processor is connected. For details, refer to “Setting the Navigation/Speaker Input Voice Interruption” (page 14) and “Adjusting Volume of GUIDE Voice” (page 10).
