Display Features

Motorized 7.0" Wide Touch Screen Display: The INA-W900 has a motorized 7.0" touch screen monitor (with 16:9 aspect ratio) that serves as a video monitor and system information display. The unit's touch screen provides audible and visual confirmation of commands. For better visibility you can adjust the monitor's angle; choose flat or one of five settings angled upward.

Video Lock-out Feature: For safety and legal reasons, the INA-W900 features a video lock-out feature to prevent the driver from viewing a video source while the vehicle is in motion. To watch a video source, the vehicle must be parked with the ignition in the ACC or ON position. The vehicle's parking brake must be engaged, disengaged, and engaged again while the foot brake is held in.

Display Modes: You can select one of the following display modes:

• Mode 1 (Wide): evenly stretches a 4:3 picture horizontally to fit the widescreen monitor
• Mode 2 (Cinema): displays a 4:3 picture by stretching out the picture horizontally and vertically; good for displaying a cinema-type picture with a 16:9 ratio
• Mode 3 (Normal): displays a 4:3 picture at the center of the screen with a vertical black band at each side

TV Screen Mode: This feature allows you to select the aspect ratio of any back seat monitor(s); choose from 4:3 Letter Box, 4:3 Pan and Scan, 16:9 Widescreen.

Visual EQ Mode: You can select one of the following preset modes suitable for the subject image:

• Night Mode: suitable for movies in which dark scenes frequently appear
• Soft: suitable for animated films
• Sharp: suitable for old movies where images are not clearly shown
• Contrast: suitable for recent movies
• User Memory (P-1, P-2): change and save Brightness, Color, Tint, Contrast, and Sharpness settings in the two user memories

Illumination Control: You can select one of the following settings for the LCD's fluorescent backlight:

• Auto: adjusts the brightness of the background illumination based on the ambient light in your vehicle
• On: keeps the background illumination of the monitor dark (always dimmed, the degree to which the backlight is dimmed is adjustable)
• Off: keeps the background illumination of the monitor bright (no dimming)

Button Lighting Dimmer: You can adjust the brightness of the button lighting at night from -2 to +2.

Background Screen: You can choose from four different background colors for the display; Blue, Red, Green, or Amber.

Navigation

Flash Memory Navigation: Alpine has the Navteq map database loaded in its internal flash memory; the maps cover the entire United States (including Alaska and Hawaii), Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The database provides approximately 6 million points-of-interest (POIs) in various categories throughout the coverage area. You can search for a POI near your current location, near your destination, along your current route, or near a specific city.

Positioning Technology: The INA-W900 uses Alpine's OnPoint Advanced GPS Positioning, ensuring your vehicle stays accurately positioned on the map even in areas where it's difficult to receive GPS reception, such as in a tunnel or around tall buildings. OnPoint simultaneously uses three technologies - satellite-linked positioning data, gyro sensor technology (to determine the vehicle's direction) and accelerometer technology (to gauge the vehicle's speed) - resulting in continuous coverage of the location of your vehicle.

Voice Guidance/Text to Speech: In addition to graphical on-screen directions and maps, the INA-W900 provides voice guidance and turn-by-turn directions, capable of text-to-speech (TTS), announcing the street names along with the turn directions. Directions can be announced in English, French, or Spanish.

Map Orientation: The INA-W900 provides three Map Orientations, choose from North Up, Heading Up, or 3D View:

• North Up: north is always at the top of the display; this makes it easy to determine your current heading with respect to the map
• Heading Up: the current direction is always pointing to the top of the display; this makes it easy to see the direction of the next turn on the map
• 3D View: offers you a more realistic perspective by tilting the map and displaying it with a horizon line; streets are displayed as you approach them instead of from a birds-eye view

Map Color: The INA-W900 offers 12 color settings for the map screen.

Setting A Destination: The Alpine INA-W900 offers several ways to select a destination:

• Home: save your home address so you can quickly navigate to your house from anywhere
• Address: enter a specific street address as your destination; Alpine's Smart Key Filtering program highlights only the possible next letters as you spell street names, city names, or POI names
• Places (POI): select from approximately 6 million Point-of-Interest (POI) locations stored on the flash drive; destinations are sorted by POI Name or by POI Category and are listed in order of distance from your current location; search near your current location, near your destination, along your current route, or near a specific city
• History: choose from recent destinations
• Address Book: save frequented locations in the unit's address book to quickly add as a destination
• Intersection: enter a street name (you can first enter a city) and choose from the intersecting streets
• Coordinates: enter Latitude and Longitude coordinates as your destination

Route Calculations: Navigation settings allow you to have the unit calculate routes based on quickest time or shortest route. You can also avoid highways, toll roads, and ferries.

Waypoints: You can set up to three waypoints between your current location and your destination. The final destination must be set before entering any waypoints.

GuideView Window: Alpine's GuideView Window gives you a picture-in-picture navigation window while the unit is in audio display mode. The GuideView Window displays the next maneuver as you head towards your destination. When you are not routing towards a specific destination, the GuideView Window displays a digital compass, the street you're on, and the city/state you're in, allowing you to view and control your music playback and still see your next turn.

Map Updates: Future mapping and Point of Interest information updates are likely to be available from Alpine and are input using the SD card slot above the DVD slot behind the touch screen (the SD card slot only used for navigation updates).

Audio Section

24-Bit DAC: The INA-W900 utilizes the latest Burr-Brown 24-bit Digital to Analog Converter to ensure accurate audio reproduction.

Dolby Digital and DTS Compatibility: The INA-W900 can perform 2-channel Dolby Digital and DTS decoding when playing back a DVD through its analog outputs (multi-channel soundtracks are down-mixed to 2-channel).

Bass and Treble Controls: Without an external processor, the head unit features independent Bass and Treble controls. Each can be adjusted as follows:

• Bass Center Frequency: 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 200Hz
• Bass Band Width: four options from 1 (narrow) to 4 (wide)
• Bass Level: select from -7 to +7 (+/-14 dB in 2 dB steps)
• Treble Center Frequency: 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz, or 17.5kHz
• Treble Level: -7 to +7 (+/-14 dB in 2 dB steps)

Loudness: The Loudness feature introduces a special low and high frequency emphasis at low listening levels. This compensates for the ear's decreased sensitivity to bass and treble sound at lower volumes.

Subwoofer Control: The INA-W900 features a dedicated subwoofer preamp output with user level adjustment between 0 to 15.

High Pass Filter: The receiver features independent high-pass filters for the front and rear outputs, both speaker level and preamp; select from Off (full range), 80, 120, or 160Hz.

Rear Entertainment Function: The rear entertainment function independently routes different sources to the front and rear of the vehicle. For example, while listening to the radio or other audio source in the front, a DVD can be enjoyed in the rear with an optional rear monitor and headphones; the rear zone signals are passed by RCA composite video and stereo RCA preamp audio connections.

Interrupt Feature (NAV.MIX): The volume of the voice guidance commands from the navigation system is adjustable, relative to the main volume.

IMPRINT Sound Upgradeable: The INA-W900 is IMPRINT ready. Simply add the Alpine IMPRINT PXA-H100 audio processor (500PXAH100, sold separately) and the Alpine KTX-H100 tuning kit (500KTXH100, sold separately) for automatic sound tuning or powerful manual tuning options. IMPRINT automatically measures the entire listening area, capturing time domain and frequency response information from each listening location to process and improve the sound at every seat in your vehicle. Precise control and corrections yield enhanced sound so you can enjoy an optimal listening experience. The IMPRINT audio processor allows you to customize your crossover adjustments so you can control where you send your high and low frequencies. It also provide detailed equalizer adjustments.
