Features
Mobile Multimedia Station:
Alpine's line of Ai-NET Mobile Multimedia Stations allow you to connect and
control a wide range of in-car audio and visual systems, such as DVD/CD/MP3
changers, rear seat monitors, and navigation systems, from a single in-dash
control center.
Motorized, 7" Wide Screen
Monitor: The IVA-D900 has a motorized 7" wide screen monitor (with 16:9
aspect ratio) that serves as a video monitor and system information display.
Automatic Monitor Opening/Closing:
When the Automatic Opening/Closing mode is set to "Full," the monitor
automatically opens when the ignition key is turned to the "Acc" or
"On" position. When the mode is set to "Manual", the monitor
must be opened and closed using the Open/Close button. When the mode is set to
"Close", the monitor automatically closes when the ignition key is
turned off.
Monitor
Angle Adjustment: You can adjust the monitor's angle for better
visibility. The screen angle can be adjusted between 40 and 105 degrees.
Picture
Adjustment: You can adjust the brightness, color, and tint of
the picture. Color and tint
adjustments can only be made in the navigation, DVD, AUX1, AUX2 and AUX3
modes.
Note: Color and tint
adjustments cannot be made if a Navigation system with the RGB feature is
connected.
Illumination Control: You can select one
of the following dimmer settings:
- Auto: adjusts
the brightness of the background illumination of the monitor depending on
the ambient light in your vehicle
- On: keeps the background illumination
of the monitor dark
- Off: keeps the background illumination
of the monitor bright
Background Screen: You have a
choice of 6 different background textures. You can select a background texture
of Water, Wood, Sky, Forest, Time, or Wire-Frame.
Spectrum Analyzer: You may
select from 4 spectrum analyzer modes, or you may turn the spectrum analyzer
off. One mode is suitable for all
types of music, one mode is specially suited for music with vocals, and another
mode emphasizes bass rhythm by providing images created using the low
frequencies in audio signals. The Scan mode repeatedly displays the other modes
in sequence.
Display Modes: You can select one of the following display modes:
- Mode 1 (Wide): evenly
stretches a 4:3 picture horizontally to fit the wide screen monitor
- Mode 2 (Normal): displays a
4:3 picture at the center of the screen with a vertical black band at each
side
- Mode 3 (Cinema): displays a
4:3 picture by stretching out the picture horizontally and vertically. This
mode is good for displaying a cinema-type picture with a 16:9 ratio.
Soft Key Operation:
As you navigate the head unit's menu system, the "soft key" functions
change as indicated on the display. These
multipurpose "soft keys" help to eliminate faceplate clutter.
Blackout Display Mode: When
the Blackout mode is activated, the display turns off to reduce power
consumption. The additional power made available by turning off the display
helps enhance sound quality.
Bass Engine Plus:
Bass Engine functions provide control over your system, so you can tailor the
sound to your personal tastes. Bass Engine Plus includes the following
functions:
- 4-Channel Digital Time
Correction: The time correction feature allows you to create virtual
speaker positions by delaying the signals being sent to the speakers closest
to you. When the correct delay times have been entered for the front right,
front left, rear right and rear left speakers, all sounds reach your ears at
the same time, providing optimized imaging and frequency response.
- 3-Position 12dB/Octave
Crossover: An 80Hz/120Hz/160Hz low-pass filter is available for the
subwoofer outputs, and an 80Hz/120Hz/160Hz high-pass filter is available for
the front right, front left, rear right and rear left preamp outputs.
Either, or both, filters may be turned off.
- MX (MediaXpander): The
MediaXpander function makes vocals or instruments sound distinct by
restoring sound quality typically lost during recording or transmission;
this function helps restore audio information that becomes obscured when
audio is compressed. The MX function can be applied to all sources, except
AM radio. There are three expansion modes for each of the following internal
sources: CD, FM, and MP3/XM. There are two expansion modes for DVD/Video CD
and three expansion mode for external sources.
- Bass Center Frequency Control:
To tailor bass response to your preference, you may select the bass
control's center frequency. You may select from the following center
frequencies: 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, 130Hz, 150Hz, or 180Hz.
- Bass Width Control: You may
choose from four band width (Q-Factor) settings for the bass control; the
bass control can be set to affect a wide or narrow band of frequencies.
- Treble Center Frequency Control:
To tailor treble response to your preference, you may select the treble
control's center frequency. You may select from the following center
frequencies: 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz, or 17.5kHz.
- Subwoofer Level Control: The
level of the subwoofer preamp outputs can be adjusted to balance the output
of your subwoofer with that of your other speakers.
- Subwoofer Phase Selector:
The phase of the subwoofer outputs may be set to normal (0 degrees) or
reverse (180 degrees); this function allows you to minimize phase
cancellation of bass frequencies, for stronger bass response.
M DAC: M DAC combines the best
attributes of 1-bit and multi-bit converter technologies to recreate lifelike
music.
MP3 Playback: This
unit can play CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs containing MP3 files recorded using
the ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 formats; constant and variable bit rates from 32
kbps to 320 kbps are supported. Discs recorded using Joliet or other ISSO 9660
compliant formats can be played, but file and folder names will not be displayed
correctly. CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD (CD-Extra) and multi-session
recordings are supported, but recordings made using Track At Once or packet
writing cannot be correctly played back. Discs containing both standard CD audio
and MP3 data can be played; the unit may be set to play only the CD audio tracks
or both types of tracks. ID3 tag v1 is supported; track title, artist name and
album name ID3 tag data can be displayed.
Disc and Station Titling: Titles
of up to 16 characters in length may be entered for up to 100 radio stations and
discs (CD, Video CD) combined; titles cannot be input for DVDs or MP3 discs.
Rear Enter Function:
The Rear Enter function independently routes different sources to the front and
the rear inside a car. For example, while listening to the radio or another
audio source in the front, a DVD can be enjoyed in the rear with the optional
rear monitor and headphones.
Simultaneous Operation: You can
watch the video portion of one source while listening to another source.
Interrupt Feature (NAV.MIX)
With an Alpine navigation system connected to the IVA-D900, the voice guidance
of the navigation system will be mixed with the radio or CD audio. You can adjust the volume level of the voice guidance. If you use this unit
connected to an external audio processor, use the built in amplifier. You cannot
use this function with an external amplifier.

addition of the optional KCA-121B Ai-NET/RCA interface cable, the KCA-801B
auxiliary input adapter, or the KCA-410C Versatile-Link Terminal, the audio from
an auxiliary source can be played through this unit. When the KCA-121B interface
cable is used, a CD changer cannot be connected to the head unit; the KCA-801B

select a digital output setting of Auto or LPCM. When set to Auto, the
digital output is switched automatically according to the type of audio signals
being played. When set to LPCM, the audio signals recorded on the disc are
converted to 48kHz/16-bit (for DVDs) or 44.1kHz (for Video CDs and CDs) linear
PCM audio signals for output.
