To whoever has had the non-powering up problem, RMA it quicksmart and save yourselves the hassles of stripping the unit down to fix it.

Figured I would ask since some peoples DVD-990's have broken. My car (convertible) was broken into and while they didn't take the head unit, they stole the remote control (credit card sized remote) that operates the INNOVATEK DVD-990.
Unit still works pretty well but impossible to operate and DVD's or move through the SD card folders without the remote.

Anyone have just the remote they want to sell me?
Bought from MP3playerstore and emailed INNOVATEK and store with no help.

If I had to do it over again, wouldn't buy an Innovatek but since I have it would like to replace the remote so I can use it.

Hi, guys.

I've been reading some forums on MP3car.com for a few months now
and I just registered today to share my experience.

I've installed the Innovatek's DVD-990 for a few days now and I must say
I'm quite enjoying it, even with a few flaws I noticed.

First of all, let's say that everything is working as described on the publicity.
Maybe not as good, but let's see more. It even reads JPEG pictures! (It's always pleasing to have an extra not mentionned in techs specs... makes me wonder... does Innovatek know about this...? Ha! Ha!)

I carry everyday my MP3 player, which is a Vosonic 6230 (120GB, yeah, 120GB, which also plays movies, pictures and multicard reader, TV out, etc. and mine is almost full).

The thing is, and I'm not surprised since the DVD-990 is not supposed to have a monster processor, but for the DVD-990 to recognize my MP3 player takes about 7-8 minutes, and even then, just like on SD cards, the folders and subfolders and sub-subfolders are all in the same list. So it's hard when you carry about 2200 albums to scan one by one each folder to reach the "Opera folder", by example. It takes a lot less time when I plug my Corsair 8GB thumbdrive, and takes almost no time when I insert one of my 1GB SD cards (This can look a bit weird, but I save a lot of time tranferring music from my MP3 player directly on SD (or make my girlfriend do it!), and then use SD. I rarely listen to 20 album simultaneously... even 2). It's all logical. Anyway, it works, so it's fine.

Secondly, the screen, when you insert a SD-card or plug a USB drive, is not very crisp (blue list menu), I have good eyes and I'm barely able to read the screen (same for the DVD subtitles). I tried setting up the contrast, the brightness, etc, but nothing will do.

The same thing goes for the DVD player. The image (I tested Clone Wars cartoon and Ocean's twelve Widescreen) is significantly better than the SD/USB menu, but still, I tried to increase quality with the settings, but neither this will help.
If someone knows any tips concerning this matter, don't hesitate.
But for a device this price, I'm already glad everything works.

Other than this, there's the TV that works just fine. I watched/listened the end of the hockey game last night between MTL Canadian and Toronto Leafs (CBC CANADA) when coming back from work, and it was a great picture and sound quality.

The radio sometimes will display (when broadcasted) the radio station information. (Too bad one can't install a wallpaper... the big blue screen feels a bit empty).

Also, it says it reads MPEG4, but not on SD or USB devices, and I read in the manual that it reads MPEG4 on discs, so now you know.

And the display at night is well and beautifully lighted ( DVD-993 owners, can you say this? Just kidding, it's only my preference.

One thing I've learned, with this device, is: Be patient! Sometimes commands takes a while but always work.

Instructions manual relyability: none for the installation, the wires are not standard colors, it's all inverted, so don't rely on these infos.
For the rest, the device is intuitive, but the rest of the manual seems OK but still incomplete, you'll have to figure some "shortcuts" by yourself.
Hey, we're techies, aren't we?

And finally, the remote works fine. I've put it inside a neat plastic wrapping, so I almost never touch the DVD-990, so for a while, it's gonna look as new as when I got it.

OK, thanks for reading (this novel!), I tried to be as honest as possible, but if I'm wrong on one part or more, be nice enough to correct me.

Best regards,
Polyglot

Hi,

you can control the SD card without the remote, it's just that you have to do it one track at a time.

Hi all,

I am new in this forum. I recently bought Innovatek dvd990. I was very happy until i went to get it installed.

I got a 1000w Pionner Ported box sub + 150 x 2 Channel Amp.

When the guy installed it he connected the sub wire with the dvd990 subwoofer output and the woofer started vibrating so hard that i was thinking it would blast. He told me that there is no option to control the subwoofer equilizer in this headunit, so he connected to the rear output for the sub.

Now i am having sub connected to the rear output and i am using it as a normall speaker The bass is ok but not how it should be.

As the wires from the sub are having 2 wires, left and right but output from dvd990 is mono (1 output) so he connected using a converter from stereo to mono. Is the problem because of this?????

Need serious help in this issue. All of your help will be really appreciated.

Cheers,

falkna

i have sent back the 990 and am now getting a 993 ...hopefully this model dosnt die after a few weeks

I'm planning to get the Innovatek DVD 995 . Does anyone here have any experiences with this player? Thanks in advance

Don't do it the components are probably the same and they all

i'd say the new releases of units have alot of issues fixed. the new 3.6" and 4" units all now have worldwide tuning capability, built in fans for the heat issue, and so on.

have a look at http://innovatek.cn

my DVD-393xTV is still going sweet, only issue is that it sometimes gets 'stuck' trying to read a usb stick when i plug it in, but then all i do is cycle to CD/radio, then back to it, and shes fine.

im gonna risk getting the IN-367DTM model, 3.6" widescreen, world tuner, fan, front panel USB (instead of on the edge of the panel), motorised tilt screen, etc etc. see how it goes.

plus the overlap of this new unit hangs DOWN over the dash, instead of protruding up - a big bonus for installation, for me anyway

I SENT MY DVD 990 BACK because the cd stopped working after 10days.
