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 RA TING 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 OPERA TE 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.
Caution
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIA TOR 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 CD OR CASSETTE COMPARTMENT SLOT
Keep any foreign objects, including fingers, out of the CD or cassette compartment slot.
STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION THAT COULD
INTERFERE WITH YOUR DRIVING
If loading or unloading a CD or cassette interferes with your driving, stop the vehicle in a
safe location before attempting operation.
DO NOT MIX NEW BA TTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BA TTER Y POLARITY
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries and do not replace with other than specified
batteries. When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as
instructed. Battery rupture or chemical leakage can cause an injury or equipment malfunction.

Failure to heed the instructions will result severe injury or death.
This label is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating instructions.
Failure to heed the instructions can result injury or material damage.

Precautions
Thermal Protection Circuit
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is
between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F)
before attempting to play a disc. If the temperature is over +60°C (+140°F), the protection
circuit functions to stop the CD player, and "HITEMP" is displayed.
Moisture Condensation
You may notice the CD playback sound
wavering due to condensation. If this happens,
remove the disc from the player and wait about
an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or
damaged discs. Playing a bad disc could
severely damage the playback mechanism.
6
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.
Irregular Shaped Discs
Make sure the discs you use in this unit do not
have any irregularities. The outer and inner
edges should be round and smooth. Use of
irregularly shaped discs may cause damage to
the mechanism.
Page 7

Bumps
English
Precautions
New Discs
As a protective measure, the CD player will
automatically eject discs that have either been
inserted incorrectly or have irregular surfaces. If
a new disc is ejected immediately after loading,
use your finger to feel around the outer edge of
the CD and its center hole. 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.

Handling Magazine
When discs are being exchanged in the 3DAW882E, the magazine is pushed out from the
changer. While this operation is in progress, do
not try to pull out the magazine or stop its
movement in any way, as this could cause
damage to the mechanism. In addition, be
aware of the changer's operation so it will not
interfere with your driving. For example, before
changing gears, check the position of the
magazine so as not to hit it while it is changing
discs.
CAUTION:
Do not insert anything other than magazine into
insertion slot.

Page 8
English
Precautions
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.
8
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.

Precautions
Installation Location
Make sure the 3DA-W882E player/receiver will
not be exposed to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations

Disc Cleaning
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the
disc could cause the CD 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.
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 CD
players.
