Tips & Troubleshooting
Things to Understand About iPod Album Art*
13
The maximum size of Album Art available is 200 x 200 pixels from iPods with Video.
For the iPod nano, the maximum Album Art size is 100 x 100 pixels. It can take several
seconds to load artwork from your iPod. While the larger 200 x 200 pixel artwork is
loading, the Alpine KCE-425i will display smaller Album Art.
NOTE:You will see a Please Wait message if you attempt to use the remote while
your iPod is delivering Album Art to the Alpine KCE-425i.
If your current selection does not have any Album Art, or if the Album Art is unavailable,
the Alpine KCE-425i will display the icon below instead of Album Art.
no album art

Tips & Troubleshooting
Switching Between NTSC and PAL
14
The Alpine KCE-425i default broadcast format is NTSC. However, it is PAL
compatible too. If you have a screen that is configured for PAL and your iPod’s video
format is set for PAL, simply select the PAL setting in Alpine KCE-425i Settings.
All Alpine screens are native NTSC screens, therefore we recommend that you set
your iPod and KCE-425i to NTSC video format for best picture quality.
1. Be sure you are on the Main Menu Screen
NOTE:Your iPod must be removed from the Alpine KCE-425i before attempting to
change formats.
2. Press the Left Arrow Button once, then the Down Arrow Button once.
Repeat.
This will switch your video output from NTSC to PAL.

Tips & Troubleshooting
My Alpine KCE-425i isn’t working, what’s wrong?
15
First, be sure that your Alpine KCE-425i is powered on. Next, make sure that you are
in the desired mode - On-ScreenNavigation Modeor iPodMode.To change modes,
simply push the Mode Button on your Remote Control. See Remote Control
Sometimes NEXT seems not to work?
While Album art is loaded, the remote commands are not executed immediately. One
command will be stored and executed when the full album art is loaded. In the normal
menu screen, this blackout time usually starts 3 seconds after playback of a song
begins and can take 7 seconds, depending on the iPod model. In ‘Now Playing’ mode
the blackout starts immediately and takes up to 15 seconds.
Please refer to (page16)
My audio is distorted, how can I improve it?
Files on your iPod can come from many different sources (i.e. iTunes store, ripping
your own CDs, Podcasts etc.). The audio levels on these differ widely. The fixed
volume setting in the set-up menu leaves usually enough headroom to avoid distortion
by clipping. If this is not enough, enable the volume control (SETTINGS-AUDIO
SETTINGS-VARIABLE) and lower the volume as needed.

Tips & Troubleshooting
I’ve selected a photo slideshow to play on my
screen, but it’s only playing on my iPod screen.
16
The Alpine KCE-425i sometimes seems to have a lag time before it
displays my iPod’s content like album art or song information. Why?
The response delay time, if any, is usually the Alpine KCE-425i waiting for informa-
tion from the iPod. Hard-drive based iPods like the 5G iPod with video take longer
than flash based iPods like the iPod nano. How long it takes depends on how
much content is on the iPod and what information is being requested. For instance,
when you’ve selected ‘Now Playing’ on the Alpine KCE-425i that displays “large”
Album Art 200 x 200 pixels, (if available), it can take up to 20 seconds for the iPod
to access that art work. See Things to Understand About iPod Album Art (page
13) for more information.
On your iPod, check to see that your TV Out setting under Video/Slideshow Settings
is set to either Ask or On. Your Video or Slideshow will not play on your screen
unless you select TV On when prompted by your iPod in the Ask setting, or you have
selected On under TV Out in Video Settings. Your iPod arrives in the Ask setting,
so you will have to select TV On each time you start up a Video or Photo Slideshow
unless you change your iPod Settings. Remember, iPod nano does not support
external photo slideshows. For more information see the NOTE on (page 10)
