(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery may cause fire or personal injury.

KEEP FINGERS AWAY WHILE THE MOTORIZED FRONT PANEL OR MOVING MONITOR IS IN MOTION.

Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.

PRECAUTIONS

Product Cleaning

Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.

Moisture Condensation

You may notice the CD playback sound wavering due to condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

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.

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.

Damaged Disc

Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.

Maintenance

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.

3-EN

Never Attempt the Following

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.

Inserting Discs

Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not attempt to load more than one disc. Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc. "Error" will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc incorrectly. If "Error" continues to be displayed even though the disc has been inserted correctly, 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.

New Discs

As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming, "Error" will be displayed if discs with irregular surface are inserted 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 center 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.

Installation Location

Make sure the DVA-9965E will not be installed in a location subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

Correct Handling

Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.

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.

Irregular Shaped Discs

Be sure to use round shape discs only for this unit and never use any special shape discs. Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

Disc Accessories

There are various accessories available on the market for protecting the disc surface and improving sound quality. However, most of them will influence the thickness and/or diameter of the disc. Using such accessories can cause the disc to be out of standard specifications and may create operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine CD players.

DVD region number (playable region number)

Refer to the attached card, “TO CUSTOMERS,” for the playable DVD region number for this DVD player.

Video CDs

This DVD head unit is compatible with playback control (PBC) compatible video CDs (version 2.0). “PBC” is a function by which you can use menu screens recorded on the disc to find the scene you want to watch and view various types of information in dialogue style.

Using compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot be guaranteed. You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordable)/CD-RWs (CDReWritable) which have been recorded only on audio devices. You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA formatted audio files.

• Some of the following discs may not be played on this

unit: Flawed discs, discs with fingerprints, discs exposed to extreme temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), discs recorded under unstable conditions, discs on which a recording failed or a re-recording was attempted, copy-protected CDs which do not conform to the audio CD industry standard.

• Use discs with MP3/WMA files written in a format compliant

with ISO9660 level 1 or level 2. For details, see pages 14 and

15.

To customers using CD-R/CD-RW

• If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last

recording session was closed (finalized).

• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback

again.

Tips for making your own CDs

The DVA-9965E plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a built in MP3/WMA decoder.

The following information is designed to help you create your own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA encoded CD-R/ RW files).

What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA CD?

An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)/ WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file.*

Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA) CD-R/RW discs:

The DVA-9965E can read either sector on the disc. Choose CDDA to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA to play the MP3/ WMA section.*

Continued

5-EN

Multisession CD-R/RW:

Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered as one session. If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a “multisession” CD. The DVA-9965E can only read multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA files - Not Audio CD files).

Properly formatted MP3/WMA Discs:

Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32 characters) or Joliet (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file naming conventions*.

*Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.

On handling compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

• Do not touch the surface.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.

• Do not affix stickers or labels.

• Clean the disc when it is dusty.

• Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat.

• Do not use commercially available disc accessories.

Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time. Never expose the disc to direct sunlight.

Heat and humidity may damage the disc and you may not be able to play it again.

Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs

• This unit is compatible only with discs recorded in the DVDVideo mode. Discs recorded in the DVD-VR mode cannot be played back.

• Note that discs not finalized (processed to enable to play on playback-only DVD players) cannot be played on this DVD player.

• Some discs may not play back, depending on the recording device. (This unit has a copy protection function. Discs copied illegally will not be played back. Some files recorded by a software using an improper recording system may be recognized as illegally copied.)

• In the following cases, the disc may not play on this unit: discs recorded by certain DVD recorders, certain irregular discs, flawed discs, dirty discs, when the pickup lens of this DVD player is dirty, or when moisture condensation has occurred inside the unit.

• Be sure to follow all cautions included with your DVD-Rs/ DVD-RWs discs.

• Do not put stickers, seals, or tape on the label side of DVD-Rs/ DVD-RWs.

• Compared to the regular discs, DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs are more affected by heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. If left in a car, etc., damage may occur and it might not play on this unit.

About MP3/WMA

CAUTION

Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/ WMA data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.

What is MP3?

MP3, whose official name is “MPEG-1 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 onetenth 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 and can achieve CD quality sound with small file sizes.

Method for creating MP3/WMA files

Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the user's manual for that software. MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have the file extension “mp3” / “wma”. Files with no extension cannot be played back. (WMA ver. 7.1, 8 are supported)

Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

MP3

Sampling rates : 32 kHz - 48 kHz Bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps

WMA

Sampling rates : 32 kHz - 48 kHz Bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps

This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates or bit rates.

ID3 tags/WMA tags

If tag data is in an MP3/WMA file, this device can display the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag/WMA tag data.

This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO SUPPORT” is displayed. The number of characters may be limited, or not correctly displayed, depending on the tag information.

Producing MP3/WMA discs

MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CDRW (DVD-R) using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 1024 files/256 folders (Including Root Folders). Depending on the structure of the folders or files, it may take time to read a disc. In this case, it is recommended to decrease the number of folders or files.

Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CDRs, and CD-RWs.

14-EN

Corresponding File Systems

This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.

Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to remember. The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is limited. Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).

This device also can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.

Formats supported

This device supports CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session. This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with Track At Once or packet writing.

Order of files

The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software writes them. Therefore, the playing order may not be the same as the order you input. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows. However, the folder and file playback order differs from the folder and file number indicated on the display.

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.

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 files. MP3: ID3 tag WMA: WMA tag

Root folder

The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files.

About the Crossover

Crossover:

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 cut-off frequency

• 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.

•You cannot adjust the crossover frequency higher than the HPF or lower than the LPF.

• Use the recommended crossover frequencies of the speakers being used for setting the crossover. Adjusting to a frequency outside that recommended range might cause damage to the speakers. For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer to the respective Owner’s Manual. Alpine is not responsible for damage of malfunction of speaker caused by improper crossover settings.

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, the DVA-9965E 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 0.1 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.

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*

*1Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C

In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker.

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.

× 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats

Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

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)

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.

Continued

5.1ms

0.5m

2.25m

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").

This corrects information that was lost at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original.

DVD (Video CD) (MOVIE MX level 1 to 2):

The dialogue portion of a video is reproduced more clearly.

(DVD MUSIC):

A DVD or Video CD contains a large quantity of data such as music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound accurately.

AUX (MX level 1):

Choose the MX mode (CMPM, MOVIE, or MUSIC) that corresponds to the media connected. If two external devices are connected, a different MX mode for each media can be selected.

After setting, press and hold MENU for at least 2

seconds to return to normal mode.

•To cancel MX mode for all music sources, set MX to OFF in step 3.

• Each music source, such as FM radio, CD, and MP3/WMA can have its own MX setting.

• On discs with both MP3/WMA and CD-DA, when the source changes from “MP3/WMA to CD-DA” or “CD-DA to MP3/ WMA”, MX-mode switching may delay playback slightly.

• Setting to MX OFF sets MX mode of each music source to OFF.

• This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON.

• There is no MX mode for AM radio.

• If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H701, etc.) is connected, its own MX processing is applied to the music source. Since the processor MX settings may not match the head unit, the audio processor needs to be adjusted. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the audio processor.

• “CMPM” is applied for MP3/WMA, WAV and iPod.

• If MENU is pressed while adjusting or setting the items in the MENU mode, the unit returns to the previous selection screen.

• By pressing the GlideTouch bar under RETURN in the MENU mode, the unit will return to the normal mode.

• If no operation is performed for 60 seconds, the unit will return to the normal mode.

After setting, press and hold MENU for at least 2

seconds to return to normal mode.

Performing Time Correction Manually (TCR)/ Phase Switching

Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there can be major differences in the distances between the various speakers and the listening position. It is possible to calculate the optimum correction values and eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself using this function.

Calculating the Time Correction

Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for

example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.

Calculate the difference in distance between the

farthest speaker and the other speakers.

L = (distance of farthest speaker)

– (distance of other speakers)

X-OVER Adjustment

Check that Defeat mode is off (page 20).

Press and hold MENU for at least 2 seconds.

Select the Crossover (X-OVER) mode by sliding

your finger on the GlideTouch bar to the left or right. Press the GlideTouch bar under the Crossover (X-OVER) mode.

Select L+R or L/R by pressing and holding BAND

for at least 2 seconds.

L+R: Sets the same adjustment values for the left and

right channels.

L/R: Different adjustment values can be set for the left

and right channels.

Select the desired channel by pressing BAND.

Divide the distances calculated for the different

speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C).

This value is the time correction value for the various speakers.

Concrete examples

Calculating the time correction value for the front left speaker on the diagram below.

Conditions: Distance between farthest speaker and listening position:

2.25 m (88-3/4")

Distance between front left speaker and listening position:

0.5 m (20")

Calculation:

L = 2.25 m (88-3/4") – 0.5 m (20")= 1.75 m (68-3/4")

Compensation time = 1.75 ÷ 343 x 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

In other words, setting the time correction value for the front left speaker to 5.1 (ms) sets a virtual distance matching the distance to the farthest speaker.

Information

About DVDs

Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the digital data is recorded. The data is represented as microscopic pits recorded into the track – these pits are read by a laser beam to play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain more data in less space.

Te rminology

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that allows large quantities of audio data to be efficiently recorded on discs. It is compatible with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the way up to 5.1-channel surround sound. The signals for the different channels are completely independent, and since the sound is high quality digital there is no loss of sound quality.

* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H510, PXA-

H900, PXA-H701 etc.) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround sound.

The DVA-9965E performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs analog audio signals; 2-channel audio, not 5.1channel.

Center speaker

Front speakers

Rear speakers

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is the technology used to decode programs encoded in Dolby Surround. Pro logic decoding will provide you with four channels of sound (front left/right, centre and monaural rear surround) from a 2-channel (stereo) source.

* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H510, PXA-

H900) is required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II plays 2-channel sources in 5 channels over the entire frequency range. This is done with an advanced, high sound quality matrix surround decoder which draws out the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any sounds to or changing the sound of the source.

* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H701 etc.) is

required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)

LPCM is a signal recording format used for music CDs. Whereas music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bits, DVDs are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving higher sound quality than music CDs.

Rating levels (parental lock)

This is a DVD function for restricting the viewing age as stipulated by censorship laws in different countries. The way in which viewing is restricted differs from DVD to DVD. Sometimes the DVD cannot be played at all, other times certain scenes are skipped, and other times certain scenes are replaced with other scenes.

This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound System. This is a high quality sound system, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. for use in movie theatres. DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theatre presentation is fully realized in the home, etc. DTS is the abbreviation for Digital Theater System.

*To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the separately sold DTS

digital audio processor (PXA-H900, PXA-H701 etc.). The DVD video software must also have a DTS sound track.

The DVA-9965E has a built-in DTS 2-channel audio decoder. Analog audio outputs are available.

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 3 to 4 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.

Warning

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, shift 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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Precautions

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing your DVA-9965E. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the color 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 DVA-9965E to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the DVA-9965E 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 DVA-9965E 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.

IMPORTANT

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.
