New Discs  
PRECAUTIONS  
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 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.  
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.

High humidity and water  
Excessive dust  
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.  
Excessive vibrations  
Correct Handling  
Never Attempt the Following  
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.  
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.  
CORRECT  
INCORRECT  
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.  
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 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.  
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.

Disc Accessories  
Discs playable on this unit  
Playable Discs  
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  
operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories  
on discs played in Alpine DVD players.  
The discs listed below can be played on this unit.

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-D300. 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.

Multisession CD-R/RW:  
Discs that cannot be played  
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-D300 can only read  
multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA files - Not  
Audio CD files).  
DVD-ROMs, DVD-RAMs, DVD + Rs, DVD + RWs, CD-ROMs  
(excluding MP3/WMA files), photo CDs, etc.  
DVD region number (playable region number)  
This DVD player will play back any disc whose region number is  
1 (or All). DVDs with a region number other than those listed  
below, cannot be played on this DVD player.  
MP3 ID3 Tag/WMA Tag Information:  
The IVA-D300 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.  
ALL  
1
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*.  
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.  
*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.  
Clean the disc when it is dusty.  
Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat.  
Do not use commercially available disc accessories.  
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 (CD-  
ReWritable) which have been recorded only on audio devices.  
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA  
formatted audio files.  
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.  
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 15 and 16.  
Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs  
This unit is compatible only with discs recorded in the DVD-  
Video 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.)  
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-D300 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a  
built in MP3/WMA decoder.  
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.  
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.*  
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.  
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA) CD-R/RW discs:  
The IVA-D300 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.*

The IVA-D300 draws minimal current even when its power switch  
is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-D300  
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-D300. For connecting the  
SPST switch, refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST switch”  
(page 69).

Touch button operation  
The display unit is equipped with tactile feedback  
(PULSETOUCHTM).  
Opening/closing the monitor should never be performed manually.  
It may cause a malfunction.  
What is the tactile feedback (PULSETOUCHTM) ?  
When you touch a button graphic in the display, you will  
feel a mild vibration and click on the display panel surface.  
This feedback enables you to easily identify action areas in  
the display.  
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.  
The IVA-D300 is a precision device. With gentle handling, its  
unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time.  
If the monitor touches anything while it is being opened (or  
closed), the monitor will stop opening (or closing) immediately.  
Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press and hold OPEN  
for at least 2 seconds again to lower the monitor.  
Be sure to touch the button lightly with the pad of your finger on  
the display to protect the display.  
If you touch a button and there is no reaction, remove your finger  
from the display once, and try again.  
About the expression of touch buttons in this Owner's  
Manual  
• Display buttons in this manual are shown in bold with  
[ ] (e.g. [SRC]).  
• This Owner’s Manual explains mainly the function of  
touch buttons, when a touch button and a unit button  
have the same function.  
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.  
In 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 returns 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.

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.

*3 Display may vary depending on the connected devices.  
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.  
M.I.X. (Random Play)  
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.  
Touch [

ID3 tags/WMA tags  
Selecting Folders (concerning MP3/WMA)  
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.  
Touch [F.DN] or [F.UP] to select the folder.  
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 CD-  
RW 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, CD-  
Rs and CD-RWs.  
Continued  
15-EN  
Corresponding File Systems  
Terminology  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
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.  
Encoding  
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files  
into the specified audio compression format.  
Formats supported  
Tag  
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.  
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,  
etc., written into MP3/WMA files.  
MP3: ID3 tag

Order of files  
Root folder  
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.  
The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder  
contains all folders and files.

This function is inoperable when Defeat is set to ON.  
* Contents that are adjusted in parametric EQ.  
Adjusting and Storing/Recalling the Parametric EQ  
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.  
Setting item: P-EQ

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.  
Storing Adjusted Contents  
The following operation is performed after Step 5 above.  
For details, refer to the “Tips” on page 39.  
6 Touch [MEMORY].  
7 Within 5 seconds, touch any one of preset buttons  
[P.SET 1] through [P.SET 6] on the BASS ENGINE  
screen.  
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left  
speaker in the diagram above.  
The adjusted contents are stored on the P.SET number  
you touch.  
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  
The stored contents on the P.SET number remain undeleted despite  
a following reset operation or disconnection of the battery power  
cord.  
Adjusted/set contents of each setting item in Bass Engine can be  
stored in the preset buttons (1 through 6).  
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").  
Recalling the Adjusted and Stored Contents  
Following operation is performed after Step 5 above.  
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.  
6 Touch any one of [P.SET 1] to [P.SET 6] on the BASS  
ENGINE screen.  
Recall the adjusted and stored contents.  
The frequencies of adjacent bands cannot be adjusted within 4  
steps.  
This function is inoperable when Defeat is set to ON.  
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.  
About the Time Correction  
Continued  
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-D300 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.

Conditions:  
Distance between farthest speaker and listening position:

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

CAUTION  
3
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.  
4
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-D300 is  
OFF, the power of the IVA-D300 turns ON automatically, hands-  
free call is cut, and the portable telephone call is enabled.  
Even if the power of the portable telephone is OFF, when IVA-  
D300 is set to the telephone mode, the power of the portable  
telephone will be turned ON.  
If the ACC power of the vehicle is turned OFF (the engine is  
stopped) during a hands-free call, the hands-free call cuts, and the  
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-D300 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  
returns to the setting which you previously set.

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.

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, etc.), you can recreate  
the power and presence of a movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1-  
channel Surround.  
In addition, DVDs offer a variety of functions.  
*
• Multiple audio (page 21)  
Movies can be recorded in up to eight languages. The  
desired language can be selected from the remote control  
unit.  
*
• 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 21)  
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.

Dolby Pro Logic  
Terminology  
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 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.  
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 IVA-D300 performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs  
analog audio signals, it just happens to be 2-channel audio not  
5.1-channel.  
* 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.  
Center

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.

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, etc.). The DVD  
video software must also have a DTS sound track.  
The IVA-D300 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.  
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.  
Warning  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or  
product damage.  
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.  
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  
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 wires insulation from  
being cut by the metal edge of the hole.  
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, gear lever, brake  
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.  
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.  
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.  
Precautions  
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.  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your IVA-D300. 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-D300 to the fuse box, make  
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the IVA-D300 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.  
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.  
The IVA-D300 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.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER  
VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL  
OR GEARSHIFT.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.  
and results in serious accident.  
When installing in automobiles, make sure the Display can  
open/close without coming in contact with the gear shift .

If your vehicle has no ACC power supply, add an SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) and fuse (sold separately).  
The diagram and the fuse amperage shown above are in the case when IVA-D300 is used individually.  
If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-D300 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle‘s battery, the IVA-D300 draws  
some current (several hundred milliamperes) even when its switch is placed in the OFF position and the battery may be discharged.  
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.  
Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.  
Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.  
Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.  
If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various  
noise suppressors, contact them for further information.  
Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.
