Irregular Shaped Discs  
PRECAUTIONS  
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.  
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.  
Installation Location  
Make sure the IVA-D900 will not be installed in a location  
subjected to:  
Damaged Disc  
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs.  
Playing a bad disc could severely damage the playback  
mechanism.  
Direct sun and heat  
High humidity and water  
Excessive dust  
Maintenance  
Excessive vibrations  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 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.

Playable Discs  
The discs listed below can be played on this unit.  
There are various accessories available on the market for  
protecting the disc surface and improving sound quality.

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-D900. 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.

Tips for making your own CDs  
The IVA-D900 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a  
built in MP3 decoder.  
ALL  
1
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.*  
Video CDs  
This DVD head unit is compatible with playback control (PBC)  
compatible video CDs (version 2.0).  
PBCis 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.  
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3) CD-R/RW discs:  
The IVA-D900 can read either sector on the disc. Choose  
MixDisc CD to play the CD audio section or MixDisc MP3 to  
play the MP3 section.*  
Disc terminology  
Title  
Multisession CD-R/RW:  
If titles are programmed for the DVD, these are the largest units  
of division of the information recorded on the disc.  
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 multisessionCD. The IVA-D900 can only read  
multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3 files - Not Audio CD  
files).  
Chapter  
Each Title may also be divided into smaller divisions called  
Chapters. These can be specific scenes or musical selections.

must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended  
for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise

MP3 ID3 Tag Information:  
The IVA-D900 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 ISO-9660 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.*

Initial System Start-Up  
The IVA-D900 draws minimal current even when its power switch  
is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-D900  
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.  
Immediately after installing or applying power to the unit, it should be  
initialized. To do this, first, remove the detachable front panel. Behind  
the front panel, to the left of the connector, there is a small hole.  
Using a pencil or other pointed object, press the reset switch mounted  
behind this hole to complete the initialization procedure.  
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-D900. For connecting the  
SPST switch, refer to the "Connection Diagram of SPST switch"  
(page 70).  
Some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is  
in motion. In this case, be sure to first stop your vehicle and apply  
the parking brake, then perform the operation.

lowered), the unit will stop raising (or lowering) the monitor  
immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press  
OPEN/CLOSE again to lower the monitor.  
Grasp the right side of the front panel, lift it up  
slightly then pull it out.

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.  
Operation of the remote control (pages 52-55) can be carried out  
even while the monitor screen is closed.  
The front panel may become hot in normal usage (especially the  
connector terminals on the back of the front panel.) This is not a  
malfunction.  
To protect the front panel, place it in the supplied carrying case.

It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) 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.  
Folder  
MP3 File  
Terminology  
Install the IVA-D900 correctly so that the driver  
cannot watch TV/Video unless the vehicle is  
stopped and the emergency brake is applied.  
Bit rate  
This is the soundcompression rate specified for encoding. The  
higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger  
the files.  
If the IVA-D900 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.  
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.

Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats  
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the  
same level.  
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-D900 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.  
Sit in the listening position (drivers seat, etc.) and  
measure the distance (in meters) between your  
head and the various speakers.  
1
Calculate the difference between the distance to  
2
the farthest speaker and the other speakers.  
L = (distance to farthest speaker) (distance to other  
speakers)  
Divide the distances calculated for the speakers by  
3
the speed of sound (343 m/s (765 mph) at 20˚C).  
These values are the time correction values for the  
different speakers.  
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.  
Bass Focus  
Setting item: BASS FOCUS  
Setting contents:TIME DN / UP / FRONT / LEFT / RIGHT /

The time difference between the front-rear/left-right speakers, can be

the 0 to 99 steps, audible time correction can be done.

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.

About MobileHub™ Link (Optional)  
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 PHONEis  
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 IVA-D900 is  
OFF, the power of IVA-D900 will turn ON automatically for a  
hands-free call.  
Even if the power of the portable telephone is OFF, when IVA-  
D900 is set to the telephone mode, the power of the portable  
telephone will be turned ON.  
Even if the ACC power of the vehicle is turned OFF (the engine is  
stopped) during a hands-free call, the call is not disconnected, and  
an ordinary call by the portable telephone is possible.  
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-D900 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.  
The telephone volume can be adjusted from the IVA-D900. The  
volume you set during the call is memorized, and is automatically  
applied again on the next call.

In most installations, the center speaker must be placed directly  
between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the center  
channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This  
creates an acoustic image simulating a center speaker directly in front  
of each listener. Adjusting the center width in PL II MUSIC (see  
Using the Pro Logic II mode,page 51), makes this function  
ineffective.

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.

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) 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-D900 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) 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.

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-D900 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-D900. 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-D900 to the fuse box, make  
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the IVA-D900 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,  
The IVA-D900 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.  
consult a physician immediately.  
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 .
