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.

Raising the Monitor

Press OPEN/CLOSE, or press and hold MUTE on the optional Remote Control. The unit beeps 3 times and raises the monitor automatically.
NOTES The CVA-1004R is a precision device. With gentle handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time. If the monitor touches an obstacle while it is being raised, the unit will stop raising the monitor immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press OPEN/CLOSE again to raise 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. Under 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 will return 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. If you select AUX or NAVI as the current source without connecting to the CVA-1004R, a noise may occur when you open the monitor. This is not a malfunction.

Setting RDS Reception Mode and Receiving RDS Stations
The RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio information system using the 57 kHz subcarrier of regular FM broadcast. The RDS allows you to receive a variety of information such as traffic information, station names, and to automatically re-tune to a stronger transmitter that is broadcasting the same programme.
Press FUNC so that the FUNC indicator appears in the sub-display. To perform the same operation with the monitor open, press FUNC only when the "FUNC" indicator lights red in the monitor. Press 1/AF to activate the RDS mode. The display shows "AF" when the RDS mode is activated. Press FUNC to activate the normal mode. The FUNC indicator will turn off. Make sure that the FUNC indicator light goes out, then press the preset button in which your desired RDS station is preset. If the preset station's signal is weak, the unit automatically searches and tunes to a stronger station in the AF (Alternative Frequencies) list. If the preset station and the stations in the AF list cannot be received: When the PI SEEK setting is on (refer to "PI SEEK Setting" on page 12), the unit searches again for a station in the PI (Programme Identification) list. If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the unit displays the frequency of the preset station and the preset indicator disappears. If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being tuned becomes too weak to receive, press the same preset button to tune in a Regional station in other district.

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.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
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

Be sure to disconnect the cable from the () battery post before installing your CVA-1004R. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit. Be sure to connect the colour 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 CVA1004R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CVA-1004R 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. The CVA-1004R 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 DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING 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.
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.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and results in serious accident.

NOTE Install at an angle within 30 degrees from horizontal.
Bracket Mounting Sleeve (Included) Dashboard Hex Bolt (Included) Mounting Bracket CVA-1004R (Included)
Slide the CVA-1004R into the dashboard. When the unit is in place, make sure the locking pins are fully seated in the down position. This can be done by pressing firmly in on the unit while pushing the locking pin down with a small screwdriver. This ensures that the unit is properly locked and will not accidentally come out from the dashboard. Install the Supplied Front Frame. Removal 1 Use a small screwdriver (or similar tool) to push the locking pins to the "up" position (see above drawing). As each pin is unlocked, gently pull out on the unit to make sure it does not re-lock before unlocking the second pin. 2 Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do so. <JAPANESE CAR> Installation using the vehicle's factory brackets.
Rubber Cap (Included) Screws(M4x5) (Included)
Slide mounting sleeve from main unit (see Removal Procedure below). Slide the mounting sleeve into the dashboard. Install the supplied bracket to the monitor.

CVA-1004R Ground Lead

Screws (M4x5) Mounting Bracket
When your vehicle has the Bracket, mount the long hex bolt onto the rear panel of the CVA1004R and put the Rubber Cap on the hex bolt. If your vehicle does not have the Mounting Support, reinforce the monitor unit with the metal mounting strap (not supplied). Secure the ground lead of the unit to clean metal spot using a screw ( ) already attached to the vehicle's chassis.
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system. Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness. Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible. Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease if necessary) of the car chassis. If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various noise suppressors, contact them for further information. Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.
