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.

Correct Handling
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

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. 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.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

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.

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 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 ball-point pen or other such instrument, then insert the disc again.

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 the disc to be out of standard specifications and may create operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine DVD players.

Transparent Sheet

Disc Stabilizer

Handling the Detachable Front Panel
· Do not expose to rain or water. · Do not drop or subject to shock.
· 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-D310R/IVA- D310RB, can be operated from the IVA-D310R/ IVA-D310RB. 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-D310R/ IVA-D310RB. 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
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 dialogue style.
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-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 18 and 19.
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.
Tips for making your own CDs
The IVA-D310R/IVA-D310RB plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a built in MP3/WMA decoder.
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-D310R/IVA-D310RB 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.

Multisession CD-R/RW: Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session. If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a “multisession” CD. The IVA-D310R/IVA-D310RB can only read multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA files – Not Audio CD files).
Properly formatted MP3/WMA 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.
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.
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.
Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs
· This unit is compatible only with discs recorded in the DVDVideo 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.)
· 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.
· Be sure to follow all cautions included with your DVD-Rs/DVDRWs 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.

About MP3/WMA

CAUTION 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.

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.
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.
What is WMA?
WMA, or “Windows MediaTM 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)
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

MP3 Sampling rates: 32 kHz ~ 48 kHz

Bit rates:

32 – 320 kbps

WMA

Sampling rates: 32 kHz ~ 48 kHz

Bit rates:

32 – 320 kbps

This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates or bit rates.

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).
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.

18-EN

Search

Media supported
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Corresponding File Systems
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
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).
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.
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
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.

Terminology
Bit rate
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.
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.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA files. MP3: ID3 tag WMA: WMA tag
Root folder
The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files.

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-D310R/IVA-D310RB 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.
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.

0.5m

2.25m

5.1ms

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. For details, refer to the “Tips” on page 42.
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram above.
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 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″).
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.
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.

Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.
1 Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.
