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 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.
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 IVA-D900R 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.
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.

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.

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-D900R, can be operated from the IVA-D900R. 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-D900R. 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.

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 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 files written in the format compliant with
ISO9660 level 1 or level 2. For details, see pages 15 and 16.
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-D900R plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has
a built in MP3 decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your
own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3 encoded CD-R/RW
files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3 CD?
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy
in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer
3) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size
of the music file.*
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3) CD-R/RW discs:
The IVA-D900R can read either sector on the disc. Choose
MixDisc CD to play the CD audio section or MixDisc MP3 to
play the MP3 section.*
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-D900R can only read
multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3 files - Not Audio CD
files).
MP3 ID3 Tag Information:
The IVA-D900R read and displays MP3 ID3v1 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 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 and do not write on the
surface.
• Clean the disc when it is dusty.
• Make sure that there are no bumps around the disc.
• 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.
Discs that cannot be played
DVD-ROMs, DVD-R/DVD-RAMs, DVD-RWs, DVD + RWs,
CD-ROMs (excluding MP3 files), photo CDs, etc.
DVD region number (playable region number)
This DVD head unit will play back any disc whose region
number is 2 (or All). DVDs with a region number other than
those listed below, cannot be played on this DVD player.
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 dialog style.
Disc terminology
Title
If titles are programmed for the DVD, these are the largest units
of division of the information recorded on the disc.
Chapter
Each Title may also be divided into smaller divisions called
Chapters. These can be specific scenes or musical selections.

free or for a fee, without the 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 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 the audio data at extremely high
ratios shrinking music files by 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.
Method for creating MP3 files
The software used to create MP3 files is widely sold or free
from various sources. For details on creating MP3 files, refer to
the user's manual for that software.
The MP3 files that can be played back by this device have the
file extension “mp3.” Files with no extension can not be played
back.
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates
Sampling rates: 32 kHz - 48 kHz, bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps
Note that for sampling rates such as 22.05 kHz, this device
may not display correctly.
ID3 tags
This device supports ID3 tag v1.
If ID3 tag data is in an MP3 file, this device can display the
title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag data.
This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric
characters and the underscore.
Producing MP3 discs
MP3 files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW
using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/
folders (including Root Folders).
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 30 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, and other
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the
file names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.

15-EN
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 tracks
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 level 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.
ID3 tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,
etc., written into MP3 files.
WARNING
It is dangerous for the driver to watch the TV/Video
while driving the vehicle. The driver may be
distracted from looking ahead and an accident
could occur.
Install the IVA-D900R correctly so that the driver
cannot watch TV/Video unless the vehicle is
stopped and the emergency brake is applied.
If the IVA-D900R is not installed correctly, the driver
will be able to watch the TV/Video while driving the
vehicle and may be distracted from looking ahead
causing an accident. The driver or other people
could be severely injured.
