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 IVA-C800E. This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers. Title Input and Audio Processor Adjustments cannot be made if the car is moving. 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 "CAN'T OPERATE WHILE DRIVING," will be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations while driving. This operation is the same as when selecting sources using the remote control (RUE-4185). When the car is parked, the selection is made as described in the Owner's Manual.

Precautions

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +45˚C (+113˚F) and 0˚C (+32˚F) before turning your unit on.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's voltage regulator checked.

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.

Installation Location

Make sure the IVA-C800E monitor/receiver will not be exposed to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the IVA-C800E, can be operated from the IVA-C800E. Depending on the products connected, the functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your Alpine dealer.

Basic Operation

English

This section describes the basic operation of the radio. These operations also apply to the other sources.

Press the PWR (Power) button on the unit to turn the power on to the unit.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the monitor. The unit beeps 3 times and raises the monitor. The opening screen appears on the monitor.

Press the SOURCE button. The display shows the main menu screen.

Rotate the rotary encoder and select "RADIO" from the main menu.

Note: If a DVD player is connected and its

power is on, the display shows " DVD AUX2 " instead of " AUX1 AUX2 ."

Basic Operation

English

Raising the Monitor

Note: The IVA-C800E is a precision device.

With gentle handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button. The unit beeps 3 times and raises the monitor automatically.

Notes: • In the monitor touches an obstacle

while it is being raised, the unit will stop raising the monitor immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the OPEN/ CLOSE button again to raise the monitor

• When the movable monitor is opened, do not place any object on the monitor and be careful not to bump or apply any pressure to the monitor while it is open. This can cause damage to the mechanism.

• Under low ambient temperature conditions, the display may be dark for a short period of time immediately after the power is turned on. Once the LCD has warmed up, the display will return to normal.

• For your safety, some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, first stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake, then perform the operation.

• Operation of the remote control (described on pages 214-216) can be carried out even while the monitor screen is closed.

English

Basic Operation

Lowering the Monitor

Note: The IVA-C800E is a precision device.

With gentle handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button. The unit will beep 3 times and lower the monitor automatically.

Note: If the monitor touches an obstacle while

it is being lowered, the unit will stop lowering the monitor immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the OPEN/CLOSE button again to lower the monitor.

English

Basic Operation

Turning Power On or Off

Some of this unit’s functions, cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. Be sure to stop your vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake, before attempting these operations.

Press the PWR (Power) button to turn on the unit. The opening screen appears automatically.

Note: The unit can be turned on by pressing

any button on the unit except the MUTE, OPEN/CLOSE and (ANGLE) buttons.

Press the PWR (Power) button again to turn off the unit.

Notes: • The IVA-C800E draws minimal

current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-C800E is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the battery may be discharged. If this lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time. 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 IVA-C800E. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the Installation manual.

• Some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, be sure to first stop your vehicle and apply the parking brake, then perform the operation.

Basic Operation

English

Selecting the Monitor Opening Angle

The monitor opening angle can be set in 2 positions.

Press and hold the OPEN/CLOSE button for at least 2 seconds while the monitor is being raised. Each press changes the monitor angle back or forth.

Adjusting the Monitor Viewing Angle

Adjust the monitor's angle for better visibility.

Press the and (ANGLE) buttons to adjust the monitor's angle so the screen will be in the best viewing position. Each press of the buttons produces a beep and changes the screen angle between 80 and 104 degrees.

Notes: • If the monitor touches an obstacle

while the angle is being adjusted the unit will stop the screen immediately. Should this happen, remove the obstacle and press the or button again.

• The screen colour will vary when viewed at certain angles. Adjust the screen angle for the best viewing position.

• If the voltage of the vehicle's battery power is low, the screen may blink when the screen angle is changed. This is normal and not a malfunction.

English

Basic Operation

Adjusting the Volume/ Bass/Treble/Balance/

Fader

Press the rotary encoder repeatedly until the mode you wish to adjust is obtained. Each press changes the modes as follows:

→ BAS. → TRE. → BAL. → FAD. → VOL.

The volume level can be adjusted at any time by just rotating the rotary encoder.

Rotate the rotary encoder to set to the desired sound within 5 seconds after selecting the mode.

Note: If the rotary encoder is not turned or

pressed within 5 seconds after selecting the BAS. (Bass), TRE. (Treble), BAL. (Balance), or FAD. (Fader), the unit automatically defaults back to the VOL. (Volume) mode.

Muting the Sound

Press the MUTE button to switch between the Mute On and Off modes. When the MUTE On mode is selected, the volume level instantly decreases.

English

Basic Operation

Turning Loudness On or Off

Loudness introduces a special low and high frequency emphasis at the lower volume settings. This compensates for the ear's decreased sensitivity to bass and treble sound at these low listening levels.

Note: When an equalizer or digital sound

processor is connected, this function is inoperative.

Press and hold the rotary encoder for at least 2 seconds to switch between the Loudness On and Off modes.
