Failure to do so may result in an accident.  
PRECAUTIONS  
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.

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.  
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.  
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE  
REACH OF CHILDREN.  
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,  
consult a physician immediately.

Maintenance  
Correct Handling  
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.  
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  
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.  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
Inserting Discs  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.

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-D310. 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.

Video CDs  
On handling compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)  
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.  
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)  
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.  
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.  
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 17 and 18.  
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.  
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.  
Tips for making your own CDs  
The IVA-D310 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a  
built in MP3/WMA decoder.  
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.  
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.  
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.*  
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA) CD-R/RW discs:  
The IVA-D310 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.*

Initial System Start-Up  
Opening/Closing the Monitor  
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.

Press OPEN/CLOSE.  
The unit beeps 3 times and closes the monitor  
automatically.  
Opening/closing the monitor should never be performed manually. It  
may cause a malfunction.  
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 Viewing Angle” (page 11).  
Even when the vehicle’s battery power is removed, the adjusted  
monitor angle remains stored in memory.  
Any of the buttons does not function while the monitor is closing by  
reset.  
Turning Power On or Off  
The IVA-D310 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 beep and stop opening (or closing) immediately.  
Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press and hold OPEN/  
CLOSE again to lower the monitor.  
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.  
Some of this unit’s functions cannot be performed while the vehicle is in  
motion. Be sure to stop your vehicle in a safe location and apply the  
parking brake, before attempting these operations.

Press SOURCE/POWER to turn on the unit.  
The unit can be turned on by pressing any button on the unit except  
OPEN/CLOSE, FLAT, TILT DN/UP (when monitor is opened) and  
(Eject).  
2
Press and hold SOURCE/POWER for at least 2  
seconds to turn off the unit.  
The IVA-D310 draws minimal current even when its power switch is  
turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-D310 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.  
Adjusting the Monitor Viewing Angle  
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-D310. For connecting the SPST switch,  
refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (Sold Separately)”  
(page 75).  
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.  
Adjust the monitor’s angle for better visibility.  
Press TILT DN and UP to adjust the monitor's angle so  
the screen will be in the best viewing position.  
Pressing the buttons produces a beep and changes the screen  
angle between 40 and 105 degrees.  
By pressing TILT DN or UP and holding, the angle changes  
continuously.  
If the monitor touches an obstacle while the angle is being adjusted  
the unit stops the screen immediately.  
The screen color will vary when viewed at certain angles. Adjust the  
screen angle for the best viewing position.  
If the voltage of the vehicle's battery power is low, the screen may  
blink when the screen angle is changed. This is normal and not a  
malfunction.

and CD-RWs.  
Corresponding File Systems  
CAUTION  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/  
WMA 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.  
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.  
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),  
numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Formats supported  
This device supports CD-ROM, 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  
What is WMA?  
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.  
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.  
Method for creating MP3/WMA files  
Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified  
software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the  
user’s manual for that software.  
MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have the  
file extension “mp3” / “wma”. Files with no extension cannot be  
played back. (WMA ver. 7.1 and 8 are supported)  
Root

Sampling rates: 32 kHz ~ 48 kHz  
Bit rates: 32 - 320 kbps  
This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling

ID3 tags/WMA tags  
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  
(maximum 128 characters).  
Folder  
MP3/WMA File  
This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric  
characters and the underscore. For non-supported characters,  
“NO SUPPORT” is displayed.  
The number of characters may be limited, or not correctly  
displayed, depending on the tag information.  
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 1024 files/  
256 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.

Terminology  
Bit rate  
DVD/Video CD  
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.  
Display example for DVD main screen  
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.

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.

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-D310 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.  
1 Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and  
measure the distance (in meters) between your head and  
the various speakers.  
2 Calculate the difference between the distance to the  
farthest speaker and the other speakers.  
L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other  
speakers)  
3 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 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.  
Adjustment and Storing/Recalling of Time

Before performing the following procedures, refer to “About the Time  
Correction” (page 39).

3 Repeat Step 2 above to set another speaker.  
4 Touch [RETURN] to return to the previous screen.  
The setting contents which have been set in “Time Correction” are  
applied for the Bass Focus mode.  
The time correction adjusting function can be applied for Pre-out  
output.  
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 the Adjusted Contents  
The storing/recalling of time correction operation is performed after  
Step 4 above.  
For details, refer to the “Tips” on page 41.  
5 Touch [MEMORY] on the BASS ENGINE screen.  
6 Within 5 seconds, touch any one of preset buttons  
[P.SET 1] through [P.SET 6].  
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left  
speaker in the diagram above.  
The adjusted contents will be stored on the preset  
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  
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 Stored Time Correction Setting  
The storing/recalling of time correction operation is performed after  
Step 4 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.  
5 Touch any one of [P.SET 1] to [P.SET 6] on the BASS  
ENGINE screen.  
The stored adjusting contents will be recalled.  
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.

speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s  
temperature 20°C).  
Switching between HPF and LPF  
HPF/LPF changes each time [HPF/LPF] is touched.

LPF: Outputs all frequencies lower than that selected  
according to your preference.  
Concrete examples  
Calculating the time correction value for the front left speaker on  
the diagram below.  
(Only available when using the subwoofer output from  
this unit.)  
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")  
Adjusting the Slope  
Touch [SLOPE], then adjust the HPF or LPF slope.  
Calculation:  
Adjusting Level/Cut-off Frequency Directly  
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)  
Touching the variable range of the level/cut-off frequency moves  
the level/cut-off frequency to the touched position.  
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.  
If [CANCEL] is displayed while LOADING is touched, or an

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.

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

In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colors thanks

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.  
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)  
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-H510/PXA-H900/  
PXA-H700, etc.) is required to enjoy full 5.1-channel surround  
sound.  
* The separately sold digital audio processor (PXA-H700, etc.) is  
required to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.  
The IVA-D310 performs Dolby Digital decoding when it outputs  
analog audio signals, it just happens to be 2-channel audio not  
5.1-channel.  
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)  
Center  
speaker  
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, 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.  
* 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-D310 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 5 to 7 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  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your IVA-D310. 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 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-D310 to the fuse box, make sure  
the fuse for the intended circuit of the IVA-D310 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-D310 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  
GEARSHIFT.  
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 gear shift.
