New Discs  
PRECAUTIONS  
To prevent the CD from jamming, “DISC ERROR” is displayed if  
discs with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted  
incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial  
loading, use your finger to 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 ballpoint 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.

Installation Location  
Make sure the IVA-W502E 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  
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.  
“DISC ERROR” will be displayed on your player if you insert a  
disc incorrectly. If “DISC ERROR” continues to be displayed even  
though the disc has been inserted correctly, 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 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.  
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.

Discs Playable on This Unit  
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 operational problems. We recommend  
not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine DVD players.

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the

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-W502E.  
This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers.  
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.

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-W502E. For connecting the SPST switch,  
refer to the “(If the ACC power supply is not available)” (page 74). If  
the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from  
the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended  
period of time.

Tips for making your own CDs  
DVD-ROMs, DVD-RAMs, CD-ROMs (excluding MP3/WMA/  
The IVA-W502E plays DVD Video, DVD Audio, Video CD, Audio  
AAC files), photo CDs, etc.  
CD and has a built in MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.  
The following information is designed to help you create your own  
music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded CD-R/  
RW files).  
DualDisc  
This unit is not compatible with DualDisc.  
Using a DualDisc may cause unit malfunction, and may cause disc  
damage when the disc is inserted/ejected.  
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/AAC  
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)/AAC (Advanced Audio  
Coding) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the  
size of the music file*.  
DVD region number (playable region number)  
Refer to the attached card, “TO CUSTOMERS” for the playable  
DVD region number for this DVD player.  
Video CDs  
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA/AAC) CD-R/RW  
discs:  
The IVA-W502E can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA  
to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA/AAC to play the MP3/  
WMA/AAC section*.  
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.  
Multisession CD-R/RW:  
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session.  
If the disc is not closed (finalised), additional data may be added.  
Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a  
“multisession” CD. The IVA-W502E can only read multisession  
DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA/AAC files - Not Audio CD  
files).  
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-Recordables)/CD-RWs (CD-  
ReWritables) which have been recorded only on audio devices.  
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA/AAC  
formatted audio files.  
Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC 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*.  
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/AAC files written in a format  
compliant with this unit. For details, see pages 16 and 17.  
* 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.  
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 (finalised).  
Finalise the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback  
again.  
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.

The number of characters may be limited, or not correctly  
displayed, depending on the tag information.  
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/  
WMA/AAC data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it,  
whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright  
holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by  
international treaty.  
Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC  
What is MP3?  
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R,  
CD-RW (DVD-R/DVD-RW) using CD-R writing software, A disc  
can hold up to 1024 files/256 folders (including Root Folders),  
and the maximum number of folders is 255. Playback may not  
be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations described above.  
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG-1, 2, 2.5 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.  
Media supported  
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.  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs,  
and CD-RWs, DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs.  
Corresponding File Systems  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
What is AAC?  
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to  
remember.  
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root  
directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is  
limited.  
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”, and is a  
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.  
What is WMA?  
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio data.  
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality  
sound with small file sizes.  
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),  
numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).  
This device 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.  
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files  
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC  
codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the  
user’s manual for that software.  
Formats supported  
MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the  
file extensions.  
MP3: “mp3”  
WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.1, 8, 9, 9.1 and 9.2 are supported)  
AAC: “m4a”  
WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media  
Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice or Windows  
Media Audio 9 Pro Lossless.  
This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced  
CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.  
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with  
Track At Once or packet writing.  
Order of files  
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes  
them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be  
what’s expected. Verity the writing order in the software’s  
documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as  
follows. (The following numbers may differ from actually  
displayed numbers.)  
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm  
that the software being used conforms to the acceptable  
formats listed above. It’s possible that the format may be  
unplayable even though the extension is valid.  
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

Calling up the Preset Memory  
About Time Correction  
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely  
due to the complex speaker placement. 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 the left ear.  
To correct this, this unit 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 3.4cm steps.

Touch [ ] or [ ] of LEVEL to adjust the SUBWOOFER

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").  
Setting range: 0 to 15  
Setting the Subwoofer System  
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker  
in the diagram on the above.  
When the subwoofer is on, you can select either System1 or System2  
for the desired subwoofer effect.  
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")  
Touch [ ] or [ ] of SYSTEM to select SYSTEM 1 or  
SYSTEM 2

Time correction = 1.75 ÷ 343* × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)  
1
* Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20°C  
SYSTEM 1 :Subwoofer level changes according to the main  
volume setting.  
In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of  
5.1 ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same  
as the distance to the farthest speaker.  
SYSTEM 2 :Subwoofer level change is different from the main  
volume setting. For example, even at low volume  
settings, the subwoofer is still audible.  
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.  
Setting the Subwoofer Phase  
Touch [ ] or [ ] of PHASE to select 0° or 180°  
Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats  
The subwoofer output phase is toggled SUBWOOFER NORMAL (0°)  
or SUBWOOFER REVERSE (180°).  
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.

(ms)  
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the  
frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled  
independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies  
for which they have been optimally designed.  
The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter)  
of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or  
lows).  
Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction  
characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive  
network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please  
consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

VISION VS. REALITY  
All good music starts as an artist’s vision. After countless hours of  
rehearsing, recording and mixing, that vision is ready for us to hear on  
discs, radio and other media. But do we hear it as the artist created it?  
Unfortunately, the reality is that we are almost never able to listen to it  
in the exact way the artist intended. Especially when we are listening in  
a car.  
HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the  
higher frequencies to pass.  
LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the  
lower frequencies to pass.  
Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.  
The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.  
Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.  
Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as  
it may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency content.  
You cannot adjust the crossover frequency higher than the HPF or  
lower than the LPF.  
Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover  
frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended  
crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range  
outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers.  
For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer  
to the respective Owner’s Manual.  
CARS ARE TERRIBLE LISTENING SPACES  
Car interiors are full of materials that obstruct and degrade sound  
quality. For example, windows amplify and reflect high frequencies.  
Seat and dashboard coverings change certain frequencies. Carpets  
absorb and suppress mid frequencies. Graphic and parametric EQs are  
only partial remedies for these problems. In addition, the speakers are  
not located at equal distances from listeners, creating an unbalanced,  
uncentred sound stage. Time correction can help fix this, but only for  
one listening position.  
We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused  
by using the crossover outside the recommended value.

INTRODUCING IMPRINT  
Navigation System  
(Optional)  
These acoustical problems are so severe that no correction system has  
been able to overcome them. Until now, with the introduction of  
IMPRINT, Alpine provides a hardware/software combination that not  
only solves these problems, it actually improves the sound stage, tonal  
balance and definition - and does it automatically, in a matter of  
minutes!  
Switching the Navigation Screen  
(Optional)  
If an optional Alpine Navigation System is connected to the  
IVA-W502E, the Navigation screen can be displayed on this unit.  
1
2
Touch [SOURCE] on the main source screen.  
The source screen appears on the display.  
Touch [NAV].  
The Navigation Screen is displayed.  
The operation is possible with the supplied navigation  
remote control.  
For navigation operation, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the  
navigator.  
The Navigation mode is selected in “Setting the VISUAL Soft  
Button” (page 37). The navigation mode is activated through the  
VISUAL Button without interrupting normal audio.  
HOW IMPRINT IS DIFFERENT  
If the Navigation mode menu is not displayed on the main menu  
screen, select ON in “Setting the Navigation Mode” (page 36).  
When the Navigation System is on and in guidance mode, the voice  
prompts and navigation map interrupts the current audio source.  
IMPRINT using MultEQ is superior to other equalisation systems in  
five ways.  
It is the only system that measures the entire listening area,  
capturing time domain information from each listening  
location and applying a proprietary method for processing it  
to represent all seat locations. This gives the people in each  
seat the optimal listening experience.  
It corrects both time and frequency problems, for an  
improved soundstage and smoother, more natural sound.  
It uses dynamic frequency allocation to apply hundreds of  
points of correction to those areas where the sound problems  
are greatest.  
It determines optimized blending points for low frequency  
crossovers.  
It provides, in minutes, vehicle sound tuning that generally  
takes skilled professionals days to accomplish.

What is a Bank?  
A bank is a unit of up to 1,000 songs, which is stored in memory.  
“Banking” refers to the action of building up a bank (of songs) from the  
songs available in USB memory.  
After selecting the USB mode, you can operate in the same way as for  
the changer, For details, see the “Changer” and “CD/MP3/WMA/  
AAC” section.  
About Banking  
While a bank is being built up, “BANKING” is displayed.  
If another bank is selected when unit power is turned on, the ACC  
position is set, or USB connection is made, banking will start.  
It can take anywhere from a few seconds to up to 10 minutes for  
banking to complete. This depends on the number of files and folders in  
USB memory.  
Available operations while Banking  
Search functions, such as album search or tag information (artist  
display, etc.) are available during the banking process. However,  
during such time, tag information display changes.  
Regular fast-forwarding and next song selection is available.  
During Banking, the played back song order may differ from the  
song order in USB memory.  
This unit has a BANK function that automatically divides every 1,000  
songs stored in USB memory into individual banks to make searching  
and playing back a song easier. A maximum of 1,000 songs for one  
bank can be stored according to the order stored in USB memory. A  
maximum of 10 banks (10,000 songs) can be recognised. BANK1  
(songs 1 to 1,000) is set as the default. If you want to search beyond  
1,000 songs, perform the following operation to select a different bank.

About DVDs

Touch [P1/2].  
The function guide is displayed.  
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.  
Touch [

The file will be played repeatedly.

A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music. In  
addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colours thanks  
to a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less than 300  
for VHS tape). With the addition of an optional, digital audio processor  
(PXA-H701, 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 23)  
Movies can be recorded in up to eight languages. The desired  
language can be selected from the unit.  
Subtitles function* (page 23)  
Movies can include subtitles in up to 32 languages. The desired  
subtitle language can be selected from the unit.  
Multi angle function* (page 23)  
When the DVD contains a movie shot from multiple angles, the  
desired angle can be selected from the 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.  
* These functions differ from disc to disc. For details, refer to the disc’s  
instructions.

DTS  
Terminology  
This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound  
System. This is a high quality sound system, developed by DTS,  
Inc. 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.  
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.  
* To enjoy DTS surround sound you need the separately sold DTS  
digital audio processor (PXA-H701, etc.). The DVD video software  
must also have a DTS sound track.  
The IVA-W502E has a built-in DTS 2-channel audio decoder.  
Analog audio outputs are available.  
* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H701, etc.) is  
required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
The IVA-W502E performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs  
analog audio signals, it just happens to be 2-channel audio not  
5.1-channel.  
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-H701, etc.) is  
required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.  
Linear PCM audio (LPCM)  
Centre  
speaker  
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.  
Front

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.

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 wire’s 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, shift 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  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your IVA-W502E. This will reduce any chance of  
damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
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 connect the colour 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-W502E to the fuse box, make  
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the IVA-W502E 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-W502E 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.  
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.  
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 shift lever.
