WARNING

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES
YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING
YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention
should only be performed after coming to a complete stop.
Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before
performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in
an accident.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN
STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in injury or
material property damage.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to
the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or
the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.

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.

PRECAUTIONS

Temperature

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

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V
APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in
fire, electric shock or other injury.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERY OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result
in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V
APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in
fire, electric shock or other injury.

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN
OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the
product.

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.

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.

2-EN

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.

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 ball-point 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.

New Discs

As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming,
the CD 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.

Irregular Shaped Discs

Be sure to use round shape discs only for this unit and
never use any special shape discs.
Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the
mechanism.

Installation Location

Make sure the CDA-7969R will not be installed in a
location subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

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

INCORRECT CORRECT

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.

Selecting DHE Mode

Using digital signal processing technology, DHE
(Digital Harmonics Enhancer) operates on
harmonic components which determine tone and
coloration of the musical instruments. The
process operates independently on individual
frequency bands, so each instrument or vocal will
be distinct. Play back clarity is enhanced to
compensate for road noises which would normally
detract from the listener's enjoyment.

1 Press and hold the DHE button for at least 2

seconds to switch to the DHE mode.

2 Press the Preset buttons (F1 through F6)

within 10 seconds to select the desired mode.

F1: OFF (NON EFFECT)
F2: Beat MAX (DHE1)

Strong Low Frequency emphasis.

F3: Lyric MAX (DHE2)

Strong vocal emphasis.

F4: Beat MIX (DHE3)

Good balance between bass and vocals.

F5: Lyric MIX (DHE4)

Slight vocal emphasis.

F6: Phase MIX (DHE5)

Enlivens any genre.

3 Press the F button within 10 seconds to select

the desired mode.
