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 +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.
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.
New Discs
As a protective measure to prevent the Disc from jamming, the
DVD 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 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 ball-point pen
or other such instrument, then insert the disc again.

Installation Location
Make sure the IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB 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
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
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.
INCORRECTCORRECT
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.

5-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 the disc to
be out of standard specifications and may create operational
problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs
played in Alpine DVD players.
Disc StabilizerTransparent Sheet
Handling the Detachable Front Panel
• Do not expose to rain or water.
• Do not drop or subject to shock.
• 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.
Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the
IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB, can be operated from the IVAD300R/IVA-D300RB. Depending on the products connected, the
functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your Alpine
dealer.
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-D300R/IVA-D300RB. 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.

ALL
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.
Multisession CD-R/RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered 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 IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB
can only read multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA
files - Not Audio CD files).
MP3 ID3 Tag/WMA Tag Information:
The IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB read and displays MP3 ID3v1 tag
or WMA tag information. MP3 files created with ID3v2 tag
information can be played back but the tag info cannot be read or
displayed.
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.
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 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 files written in a format compliant
with this unit. For details, see pages 17 and 18.
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 IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB 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 IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB can read either sector on the disc.
Choose CD-DA to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA to
play the MP3/WMA section.*
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 one-tenth 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 allows you to create music files and store them at higher
ratios of compression than MP3 audio data (approx. half
original size). This is achieved while still maintaining CD
quality sound.
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 and 8 are supported)
Sampling rates: 32 kHz ∼ 48 kHz
Bit rates:32 - 192 kbps
This device may not play back correctly depending on
sampling rates or bit rates.
ID3 tags/WMA tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1, and WMA tag.
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 (up to 30 for ID3 tags and up to 15 for WMA tags)
and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO
SUPPORT” is displayed.
The tag information may not be correctly displayed,
depending on the contents.
Producing MP3/WMA discs
MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CDRW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 255
files/255 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.
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). File/folder names are limited to 31 characters
(including the extension).
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 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 no. and file no. 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 Time Correction
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary
widely due to the special conditions of the mobile environment. 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 left ear.
To correct this, the IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB 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 a step of 0.1 ms.
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.
0.5m
2.25m

Tips
*
Subwoofer speaker
You cannot change the time correction value for the
subwoofer, but you can set the subwoofer’s apparent position
to the front by adjusting the time correction value of the front
and rear speakers.
For details, refer to the “Tips” on page 39.
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left
speaker in the diagram 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
**
Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C
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").
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.
In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction
value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if the distance to the front left
speaker is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker.
**
× 1000 = 5.1 (ms)
Continued
37-EN
Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the
same level.
1 Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and
measure the distance (in meters) between your head
and the various speakers.
2 Calculate the difference between the distance to the
farthest speaker and the other speakers.
L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other
speakers)
3 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.
Adjusting and Storing/Recalling the Bass Focus
The time difference between the front-rear/left-right speakers, can be
adjusted at the same time. With an initial delay of 0.1 ms for each of
the 0 to 99 steps, audible time correction can be done.

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.

Connect a separately sold junction box and a portable telephone
(available from Nokia) to control the incoming and outgoing calls of
the portable telephone.
CAUTION
• Even with hands-free operation, a driver can be distracted
during telephone operation or receiving a call. For the
sake of safety, drivers are requested to refrain from
operating the telephone while driving.
• For the sake of safety, operations other than incoming
calls and Speed-Dial outgoing calls cannot be used.
• If a portable telephone is connected, its address book, incoming
and outgoing history, short message history and standardized
sentences are downloaded to the junction box.
Please refer to the instruction manual of the junction box.
• When a portable telephone is not connected, “NO PHONE” is
displayed for at least 5 seconds, then the mode returns to the
original source mode.
• When the portable telephone is taken off the junction box during an
incoming or outgoing call, or during a hands-free call, the call will
be treated as an ordinary one by the portable telephone.
• When there is an incoming call while the power of the IVA-D300R/

stopped) during a hands-free call, the hands-free call cuts, and the
normal portable telephone call is enabled.
• If there is an incoming call during operation (except an outgoing
call or talking), operation mode will end and switch to the
incoming or talking mode.
• An outgoing call from a portable telephone is also possible.
However, you cannot perform different operations at the same time
from a portable telephone and IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB as
malfunction can result.
•With a junction box connected outgoing, incoming, and sending
history will also be recorded in the portable telephone.
• While telephoning, Time Correction is set to normal (0.0ms) and
DEFEAT is also set to ON. When the call has finished, the unit

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.

In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colours
thanks to a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less
than 300 for VHS tape). With the addition of an optional, digital audio
processor (PXA-H900/PXA-H510/PXA-H700, etc.), you can recreate
the power and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1channel Surround.
In addition, DVDs offer a variety of functions.
• Multiple audio* (page 22)
Movies can be recorded in up to eight languages. The
desired language can be selected from the remote control
unit.
• Subtitles function* (page 22)

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-H700, etc.) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel
surround sound.
The IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB performs Dolby Digital decoding
when it outputs analog audio signals, it just happens to be 2channel audio not 5.1-channel.

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, center 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 advance, 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-H700, 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 function of the DVD for restricting the viewing age as
stipulated by 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.

Dolby Digital sound/dts sound
DTS
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 Corp for use in movie theatres.
DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theatre
presentation is fully realized in the home and other settings.
DTS is the abbreviation for Digital Theatre System.
*To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the separately sold DTS
digital audio processor (PXA-H900/PXA-H700, etc.). The DVD
video software must also have a DTS sound track.
The IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB 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 4 to 6 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 BOLTS OR SCREWS 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 IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB. 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 IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB to the
fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the
IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB 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 IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB 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.
• Be sure to connect the speaker (–) leads to the speaker (–)
terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to
each other or to the vehicle body.
• The Display must be completely retracted in the casing when
installing. If it is not, problems may occur.
• When installing in automobiles, make sure the Display can
open/close without coming in contact with the gear shift .
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.

Installing the Monitor
Installation Location
Before deciding on the mounting location, check that opening and
closing the display will not hamper gear shifting in that position.
• Install at an angle of within 30 degrees from the horizontal.
• The monitor’s angle is set to 90 degrees at the factory. Depending
on the car, the monitor may hit the dashboard when opened. The
monitor’s angle can be adjusted and stored in memory so that the
monitor will not hit the dashboard when opening. For adjusting the
monitor, refer to “Adjusting the monitor Angle” on page 26.
Even when the vehicle’s battery power is removed, the adjusted
monitor angle remains stored in memory.
When your vehicle has the Bracket, mount the long hex
bolt onto the rear panel of the IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB
and put the Rubber Cap on the hex bolt. If your vehicle
does not have the Mounting Support, reinforce the monitor
unit with the metal mounting strap (not supplied). Secure
the ground lead of the unit to a clean metal spot using a
screw (}) already attached to the vehicle’s chassis.
•For the screw marked }}, use an appropriate screw for the
chosen mounting location.
Connect each input lead coming from an amplifier or
equalizer to the corresponding output lead coming from
the left rear of the IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB. Connect all
other leads of the IVA-D300R/IVA-D300RB according to
details described in the Connections section.
