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.

•After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.

•In cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will return to normal.

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the IVA-W205, can be operated from the IVA-W205. Depending on the products connected, the functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your Alpine dealer.

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-W205. 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.

•The IVA-W205 draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-W205 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the battery may be discharged.

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-W205. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (Sold Separately)” (page 73). 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.
