WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.

INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE
DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS THE
VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE
IS APPLIED.

It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) for the driver to
watch TV/Video while driving a vehicle. Installing this
product incorrectly enables the driver to watch TV/Video
while driving. This may cause a distraction, preventing the
driver from looking ahead, thus causing an accident. The
driver or other people could be severely injured.

DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.

Watching the video may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

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.

WARNING

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.

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.

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. Your player will automatically eject any disc that is
inserted incorrectly. If the player continues to eject a
correctly inserted disc, push the RESET switch with a
pointed object such as a ball-point 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,
the CD player will automatically eject discs with irregular
surfaces 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 ball-point pen or other
such instrument, then insert the disc again.

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.

4-EN

Installation Location

Make sure the IVA-C801/CVA-1006 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.

CORRECT

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.

Disc StabilizerTransparent Sheet

Handling the Detachable Front Panel

• Do not expose to rain or water.

• Do not drop or apply shock.

INCORRECT CORRECT

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 center
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.

• 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.

• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen may
lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up
period, it will return to normal.

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus,
connected to the IVA-C801/CVA-1006, can be operated
from the IVA-C801/CVA-1006. Depending on the
products connected, the functions and displays will vary.
For details, consult your Alpine dealer.

WARNING

Remove the anti-theft cover when you drive. This prevents
the cover from falling off the unit and interfering with the
safe operation of the vehicle.

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-C801/
CVA-1006. 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. When the car is parked, the selection is
made as described in the Owner's Manual.
