Precaution English

Warning

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER

Attempts to disassemble or alter may lead to an accident, fire and/or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN

Store small articles (batteries, screws, etc.) in places not accessible to children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES

Replace fuses only with fuses of the same ampere rating. Failure to do so may result in a fire and/or damage to the vehicle.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS

When problems appear, stop using the system immediately and contact the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment. Some problems which may warrant immediate attention include a lack of sound, noxious odors or smoke being emitted from the unit, or foreign objects dropped inside the unit.

DO NOT OPERATE THE REMOTE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING

Do not change settings while driving. If operation requiring a prolonged view of the display is required, stop the vehicle in a safe location before attempting operation.

3

Precaution English

Caution

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS

Do not block air vents or heat discharge plates. Blocking them will cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY

Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside noises while driving. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.

DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

Do not use this equipment for purposes other than those listed for a vehicle. Failure to do so may result in an electric shock or an injury.

KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE CASSETTE COMPARTMENT SLOT

Keep any foreign objects, including fingers, out of the cassette compartment slot.

STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH YOUR DRIVING

If loading or unloading a cassette interferes with your driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location before attempting operation.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery may cause fire or personal injury.

TDA-7553E

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turing your unit on.

Tape Slack

Check and make sure any slack in the tape is taken up before inserting the tape into the unit. A loose tape can get caught in the mechanism and cause damage to the unit and the tape itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil or a similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn until all the slack has been taken up.

Excessively Thin Tape

C-120 type cassette tapes are not recommended for use in automobile tape players.

Precision Tape Mechanism

Prevent any foreign objects from entering the cassette opening as the precision mechanism and tape head may be damaged.

Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can damage the tape head.

Tape Head Cleaning

Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20 hours of use) of the tape head with a wet type head-cleaning cassette tape (available at audio stores) is necessary for best performance.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse blows more than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's voltage regulator checked

Maintenance

If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station for

servicing.

NFP OFF

NFP ON

Press and hold the Eject button for at least 3 seconds.

With each press, N.F.P. is toggled On or Off.

N.F.P. ON: In this position, the Front PreOutput on the TDA-7553E or Rear Output on the TDA-7551E will not be affected by the fader. This is ideal for driving a subwoofer amplifier.

N.F.P. OFF: Returns to normal fader mode.

Notes:

Initial mode is "NFP OFF."

Set the N.F.P. to OFF unless the subwoofer is used.

If an optional Processor with subwoofer output is connected via the Ai-NET bus, this button will turn that output ON or OFF.
