Operating Instructions

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 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.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

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.

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 MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery may cause fire or personal injury.

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.

Bumps

Centre Hole

New Disc

Outside (Bumps)

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.

Continued

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.

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.

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.

• This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is ON.

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-D900R 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.

Q 1 ? Q 2 ? Q 3 ? Q 4 (Narrow)'

Changes the bass boost band width to wide or narrow. A wide setting will boost a wide range of frequencies above and below the center frequency. A narrower setting will boost only frequencies near the center frequency.

• The settings of the bass level will be individually memorized for each source (FM, MW (LW), CD, etc.) until the setting is changed. Once you set Bass frequency and Bass Band Width for one of sources (FM, MW (LW), CD, etc.), this setting becomes effective for all those sources. Depending on the connected devices, some functions and display indications do not work.

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 24.

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* × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)

* Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C

∗

Continued

23-EN

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.

Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats

Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and

measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.

Calculate the difference between the distance to

the farthest speaker and the other speakers.

L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other speakers)

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.

Example of Bass Focus Setting

1 After entering corrections for the front (left and right)

speakers in STEP 15, the time difference is 1.5 ms for both front-left and front-right speakers.

1.5ms

∗

1.5ms

2 After entering corrections for the left (front and rear)

speakers in STEP 15, the time difference becomes 3.0 ms* for the front left speaker and 1.5 ms for the left rear speaker.

* Because the time difference was already set to 1.5 ms for the

front left speaker in STEP 1, the additional correction in STEP 15 makes the time difference of the front left speaker 3.0 ms.

Bass Focus

Setting item: BASS FOCUS Setting contents: TIME DN / UP / FRONT / LEFT / RIGHT / REAR

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.

Selecting the speaker:

Select the speaker among 3 (FRONT) through 6 (REAR).

Setting the step:

Press 1 (TIME ;DN) or 2 (TIME UP :) to set the step.

• Any manual time correction adjustments will also affect corrections made for bass focus.

frequency. The adjustable bands differ according to the channel (speaker).

Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there can be major differences in the distances between the various speakers and the listening position. It is possible to calculate the optimum correction values and eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself using this function. You can also use this function to switch the phase.

Check that Defeat mode is off.

Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for

example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.

Calculate the difference in distance between the

farthest speaker and the other speakers.

L = (distance of farthest speaker)

– (distance of other speakers)

Divide the distances calculated for the different

speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C).

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.

5.1ms

0.5m

2.25m

The sound is uneven because the distance between the listening position and the different speakers is different. The difference in the distance between the front left and rear right speakers is 1.75 meters (68-3/4").

Time correction eliminates the difference between the time required for the sound from the different speakers to reach the listening position. Setting the time correction of the front left speaker to 5.1 ms makes it possible to coordinate the distance from the listening position to the speaker.

• When graphic EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for parametric EQ becomes ineffective.

Parametric Equalizer Adjustments

The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies. The parametric equalizer’s center frequency can be tuned to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious audiophiles.

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.

• Subtitles function* (page 21)

Movies can include subtitles in up to 32 languages. The desired subtitle language can be selected from the remote control unit.

• Multi angle function* (page 20)

When the DVD contains a movie shot from multiple angles, the desired angle can be selected from the remote control unit.

• Multi story function*

With this function, a single movie includes various story lines. You can select different story lines to view various versions of the same movie. Operation differs from disc to disc. Story line selection screens including instructions appear during the movie. Just follow the instructions.

* The functions audio languages, subtitle languages, angles, etc.,

differ from disc to disc. For details, refer to the disc’s instructions.

A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music.

In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colors 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), you can recreate the power and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel Surround.

Terminology

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) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround sound.

The IVA-D900R performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs analog audio signals, it just happens to be 2-channel audio not 5.1-channel.

Center speaker

Front speakers

Rear speakers

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) 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 theaters. DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theater presentation is fully realized in the home and other settings. DTS is the abbreviation for Digital Theater System.

* To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the separately sold DTS

digital audio processor (PXA-H900/PXA-H700). The DVD video software must also have a DTS sound track.

The IVA-D900R 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-D900R. 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-D900R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the IVA-D900R 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-D900R 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 .
