Ma inte na nc e  
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair  
the unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer  
or the nearest Alpine Service Station for  
servicing.  
Ca ution  
ERA-G311 allows three different modes of  
system as "1) 7 Band EQ + Surround + LPS +  
BBE", "2) 14 Band EQ + LPS + BBE" and "3) 7  
Band EQ + 7 Band EQ (Dual EQ) + LPS +  
BBE".  
When the mode is changed, all systems should  
be reset to change the program for DSP. This  
resetting is made automatically when you push  
the key of switching mode and cause to clear  
stored memory of presets.  
Not to delete your stored presets, please  
determine the mode you use and have attention  
not to switch the mode after making your  
presets.

Se le c ting BBE Mode  
The BBE (Barcus Berry Electronics) processor  
installed in this unit is designed to correct the  
phase distortion inherent in most loudspeaker  
designs. Ensuring the phase integrity of the  
signal driving the speakers improves the  
accurate reproduction of the sound. When used  
in conjunction with the equalizer and sound field  
effects, optimum sound space enhancement  
can take place.  
Press the BBE button.  
With each press of the button the mode will  
changed in the sequence: BBE 1, BBE 2, BBE  
3, and BBE OFF. The BBE effect is the highest  
in BBE 1 mode, will be reduced in BBE 2 mode  
and will have the least effect in BBE 3 mode.

Adjusting the Time Corre c tion  
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 ERA-G311 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.  
Example 2  
Front Right  
Rear Right  
The adjustment will be made for each speaker  
in a step of 0.1mS.  
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. (See the Illustration.)  
Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats

to almost the same level. (See the Illustration.)
