OWNER’S MANUAL
Please read before using this equipment.
Operating Instructions
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of
the navigation system which you are uncertain about,
PRECAUTIONS
please contact your local Alpine authorized navigation
dealer before using the navigation system.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn
instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please read the
following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation
system correctly.
• This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any
route suggestions made by this navigation system should never
supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment
and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route
suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an
unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
• Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and legal
manner and location.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions
requiring a prolonged view of the monitor while you are driving. Stop
in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access
the system.
• When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency
service, please contact the facility to validate and verify availability,
prior to driving to it. Not all locations of emergency service providers
such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained
in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to
ask for directions in these situations.
• The map database contained within the media (SD memory card) in
which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of
production. Because of changes in streets and neighborhoods, there
may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to
route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own
personal judgment.
• The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions,
it does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or
of factors which may affect the time required to reach your
destination. The system does not reflect road closures or
construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather
conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing
of your driving experience. Use your personal judgment if the
navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.
• There may be situations where the navigation system may display the
vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in
this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please
be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct
the vehicle’s position automatically; however, there may be times
where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the
case, stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting
operation.
• Make certain that the volume level of the unit is set to a level which
still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.
Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an
accident.
• Please make certain that any other person who intends on using this
navigation system reads these precautions and the following
instructions carefully.
Points to Observe for Safe Usage
• Read this manual carefully before using this disc and the system
components. They contain instructions on how to use this product in
a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be responsible for
problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this
manual.
• This manual uses various pictorial displays to show you how to use
this product safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting
from improper connections and operation. Following are the
meanings of these pictorial displays. It is important to fully
understand the meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use
this manual and the system properly.
WARNING
• Operation of the system while driving is dangerous. Users
should stop vehicle before operating the software.
• Road conditions and regulations take precedence over
information contained on the map display: observe actual
traffic restrictions and circumstances while driving.
• This software is designed for use exclusively in the INES900R. It cannot and may not be used in conjunction with
other hardware.
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury
or death.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR
ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle
in a safe location before performing these functions.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of
the vehicle and cause an accident.
1-EN
DO NOT FOLLOW ROUTE SUGGESTIONS IF THE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTS YOU TO PERFORM AN
UNSAFE OR ILLEGAL MANOEUVRE, OR PLACES YOU IN AN
UNSAFE SITUATION OR AREA.
This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any
route suggestions by this system should never supersede any local
traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe
driving practice.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL
HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency
vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be
dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD
VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING
DAMAGE.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
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.
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 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.

PRECAUTIONS
CORRECT
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 +45°C
(+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.
Moisture Condensation
You may notice the disc 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.
New Discs
To prevent the CD from jamming, “Unable to read Disc.” is
displayed if discs with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are
inserted incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after
initial loading, use your finger to 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.

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.
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.
“Unable to read Disc.” will be displayed on your player if you
insert a disc incorrectly. If “Unable to read Disc.” 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.
Irregular Shaped Discs
Be sure to use round shaped discs only for this unit and never use
any special shaped discs.
Use of special shaped discs may cause damage to the mechanism.
Installation Location
Make sure the INE-S900R 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.
INCORRECT CORRECT
Disc Cleaning
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the
DVD 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.
3-EN
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 operational problems. We recommend
not using these accessories on discs played in INE-S900R.
Transparent Sheet Disc Stabilizer
• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will
remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology
and is normal.
• In cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast
temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will return to
normal.
Discs Playable on This Unit
Playable Discs
The discs listed below can be played on this unit.

DVD Video Audio + Video 12 cm*
Music CD Audio 12 cm
Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex.
Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions
into a special screen. This will restrict operation of these functions
to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the
driver’s attention will be on the road and not on the INE-S900R.
This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers.
The car must be parked and the parking brake must be engaged for
the procedure described in the Owner’s Manual to be valid. The
warning “No operation while driving - for your safety” will be
displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations
while driving.
• The INE-S900R draws minimal current even when its power switch is
turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the INE-S900R is
connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the
battery may be discharged.
An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be
added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the
OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back
ON before using the INE-S900R. For connecting the SPST switch,
refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (Sold Separately)”
(page 139). If the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be
disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused
for an extended period of time.

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-Recordables)/CD-RWs (CDReWritables) which have been recorded only on audio devices.
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA/AAC
formatted audio files.
• Some of the following discs may not play 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/AAC files written in a format
compliant with this unit. For details, see pages 63 and 64.
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 (finalised).
• Finalise the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback
again.
Tips for making your own CDs
The INE-S900R plays DVD Video, Audio CD, DivX® and has a
built in MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your own
music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded CD-R/
RW files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/AAC
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)/AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the
size of the music file*.
Multisession CD-R/CD-RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session.
If the disc is not closed (finalised), additional data may be added.
Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a
“multisession” CD. Only the last session of a multisession DATA
formatted disc can be played, depending on the writing software
that is used to format the disc.
Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC 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 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.
5-EN
Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs
• This unit is compatible with discs recorded in the standard
DVD-Video formats.
• Note that discs not finalised (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 and disc format.
• Discs or files utilizing copy protection, may not be playable.

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

Getting Started
Preface
Two dimension positioning
When GPS satellite reception is less than optimal positioning is
performed in two dimensions: latitude/longitude. In the latter case, since
altitude cannot be determined, minor positioning discrepancies can
occur three dimension positioning.
Navigation systems
This navigation system uses three different sensing devices to determine
the present location and to track the progress of the vehicle. These three
devices are: a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver which receives
digital signals from GPS satellites to determine the current position of
the vehicle, a gyroscope which determines which direction the vehicle
turns, and a speedometer pulse sensor which determine how far the
vehicle has travelled. Because this system incorporates a gyroscope and
a speed sensor, the system will be able to display the vehicle’s position
and track the vehicle’s progress even in areas where the GPS signal may
be blocked.
All map data is contained on a removable SD memory card. This system
integrates this unique map database with the sensing devices to
automatically plot out a route when a destination is entered. While
driving, the navigation system guides you along the route with pictorial
displays and verbal prompts.
• Altitude display accuracy can vary widely since the system uses only
GPS signals for determining altitude approximations. Unlike altitude
measurement, map matching accuracy is much more precise due to
calculation methods that utilize three inputs: 1) GPS signals, 2)
vehicle speed signals, and 3) the system’s built-in electronic gyro
signals.
There may be a delay before the actual vehicle’s position
is displayed
Determination of the present vehicle’s position starts when the ignition
key is turned to the ACC or ON position, and ends when the key is
turned OFF. When the key is first turned to the ACC or ON position
delay of approximately one to two minutes is typical before the present
vehicle’s position can be displayed.
The error from the actual position of the vehicle
When GPS signals can be received from 4 or more satellites, 3
dimensional positioning (altitude, latitude, and longitude) of the vehicle
can be determined. In this case, error is in the range of 30 to 200 meters.
When GPS signals can only be received from 3 satellites, only two
dimensional positioning (latitude and longitude) can be determined,
resulting in a slight increase in error. When GPS signals can only be
received from less than three satellites, positioning of the vehicle
through GPS is not possible. In addition to the inherent GPS error
margin, the error rate may also increase if the United States Department
of Defense deliberately changes its accuracy.
Locations where GPS signals are received easily
The optimum locations for receiving GPS signals are locations that
command a good view where there are no tall buildings, trees, or other
objects to obstruct the signals.
Gyroscope/ Speed sensor
The gyroscope is a sensor that accurately measures the angle by which
the direction of a vehicle or other moving body changes.
Gyroscopes are used in inertial navigation systems for airliners and
ships. In this navigation system, the gyroscope is used together with the
speed sensor, making it possible to display the position of the vehicle
even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
This system receives signals from 3 or more GPS satellites (operated by
the United States Department of Defense) orbiting at an altitude of
21,000 kilometers and measures the present car position using the same
principles as triangulation. If the system receives signals from more
than three GPS satellites, positioning becomes possible.
The GPS positioning system uses both three dimensional and two
dimensional positioning.
Three dimension positioning
If GPS satellite reception is good, the positioning can be performed in
three dimensions: latitude/longitude/altitude.
Direction Mileage
13-EN
About car positional accuracy on initial use
Accurate Gyroscope/Speed sensor performance is not possible first
without accumulating driving some data.
The car position may not be correctly displayed after initial installation
of the system without inputting information about any previous changes
(exchanging the tire, etc.).
The error margin between sensor information and GPS data (as
calculated from the vehicle position) is continuously analyzed/revised,
resulting in a gradual increase in system accuracy.
A measurement is constant even if GPS signals cannot be received
avoiding the “filling of the gap” that occurs in running only the Gyro
sensor.
Address book
Locations you go to frequently can be stored into address book and
marked on the map. The system can store up to 200 points. You can add
icons at the marking locations so that the system also displays the icons
on the map.
Navigation Terminology
Navigation
The navigation system displays and tracks the vehicle’s position and
movement on a moving map display. When a destination is input, the
navigation system quickly calculates a route and guides you along the
route with pictorial displays and voice prompts.
Present Vehicle Position
The present vehicle position is indicated by an arrowhead within a circle
Present vehicle position
Map matching
Since GPS navigation has an error window of about 30 m - 200 m, the
position of your vehicle may be calculated in such a way that it is
displayed incorrectly off the road. Map matching automatically corrects
this error so that the position is displayed on the road.
Destination
The point on the map that is your destination is specified and displayed
with the destination icon.
You can set up a destination and 4 waypoints for the same journey.
Mark
Motorway-preference selection
When searching for routes with the navigation system, you can switch
between searching for routes that give priority to motorways and those
that give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify motorway
preference, the navigation system automatically searches for a route that
gives priority to motorways and guides you along that route.
Route
When a destination is input, the navigation system automatically
calculates a route and displays it in blue on the map

About Dynamic Route Guidance
The DRG (dynamic route guidance) updates traffic changes from
moment to moment, providing you with a more accurate anticipated
arrival time.
The dynamic route guidance is performed based on TMC restriction
event (accident, traffic congestion, etc.). When an optimal route is
found, the message is shown in the display and automatically changes
the route (when the DRG is set to Auto). For details, refer to page 103.
If the Dynamic route guidance is set to Manual
If an optimal route is found using the dynamic route guidance function,
the DRG screen appears. You can select a Detour route or the Current
route.
