Operating Instructions

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.

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 BATTERIES OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.

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

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 Center for repairing.

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.

Moisture Condensation

You may notice the Disc 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.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.

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

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.

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

Yo ur 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.
Yo ur 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
ballpoint 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 ballpoint pen or other
such instrument, then insert the disc again.

(Bumps)

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.

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.

Installation Location

Make sure the CDA-W560EX will not be installed in a location
subjected to:

•Direct sun and heat

•High humidity and water

•Excessive dust

•Excessive vibrations

3-EN

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.

On handling Compact Discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

•Do not touch the surface.

•Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.

•Do not affix stickers or labels and do not write on the surface.

•Clean the disc when it is dusty.

•Make sure that there are no bumps around the disc.

•Do not use commercially available disc accessories.

Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time.
Never expose the disc to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity

may damage the CD and you may not be able to play it again.

To customers using CD-R/CD-RW

• If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last
recording session was closed (finalized).

•Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback
again.

About media that can be played with the CDA-W560EX.

Use only compact discs with the label side showing the CD logo
marks below.

If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot
be guaranteed.
You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordable)/CD-RWs (CD­ReWritable) for audio use on this unit. You can also play CD-Rs/
CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA formatted audio files.

•Some of the following CDs may not play on this unit:
Flawed CDs, CDs with fingerprints, CDs exposed to extreme
temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), CDs
recorded under unstable conditions, CDs on which a recording
failed or a re-recording was attempted, copy-protected CDs
which do not conform to the audio CD industry standard.

•Use discs with MP3/WMA files written in a format compatible
with this unit. For details, see page 12-13.
