Precautions
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 (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.

English
Precautions
Caution
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 COMPARTMENT SLOT
Keep any foreign objects, including
fingers, out of the CD compartment slot.

STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION
THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH YOUR
DRIVING
If loading or unloading a CD interferes with
your driving, stop the vehicle in a safe
location before attempting operation.

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 "---H" 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
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.
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.
Bumps
Center Hole
English
Precautions
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 (located behind the
detachable front panel) 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, 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.

Disc Care
English
CORRECT
INCORRECT CORRECT
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 on the disc. Do not write on the disc.
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.
26
Transparent Sheet
Disc Stabilizer
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.
In Case of Difficulty
If you encounter a problem, please review the
items in the following check list. This guide will
help you isolate the problem if the unit is at
fault. Otherwise, make sure the rest of your
system is properly connected or consult your
authorized Alpine dealer.
Initial Turn-on After
Installation
English
Symptom
No function or display.
Cause and Solution
• Car's ignition is off.
– If connected per instructions, the unit will
not operate with the car's ignition off.
• Improper connection of power leads.
– Check connections of the power leads.
• Blown fuse.
– Check the fuses on the Battery leads;
replace with the proper value if
necessary.
• Internal micro-computer malfunctioned due
to interference noise etc.
– Press the Reset button with a ball-point
pen or other pointed article.
27
In Case of Difficulty
Radio Mode
English
Symptom
Unable to receive stations.
Unable to tune stations in the seek mode.
Broadcast is noisy.
Cause and Solution
• No antenna or open connection in cable.
– Make sure the antenna is properly
connected; replace the antenna or cable
if necessary.
• You are in a weak signal area.
– Make sure the tuner is in the DX mode.
• If the area you are in is not known to be a
weak signal area, the antenna may not be
grounded and connected properly.
– Check your antenna connections; make
sure the antenna is properly grounded at
its mounting location.
• The antenna may not be the proper length.
– Make sure the antenna is fully extended;
if broken, replace the antenna with a new
one.
• The antenna is not the proper length.
– Extend the antenna fully; replace it if it is
broken.
• The antenna is poorly grounded.
– Make sure the antenna is grounded
properly at its mounting location.

– Eject the CD in transport and remove it.
• The CD is being improperly inserted.
– Make sure the CD is being inserted per
instruction in the Owner's Manual.
• The CD has been damaged.
– Eject the CD and discard; using a
damaged CD in your unit can cause
damage to the transport.
• Improper mounting.
– Securely re-mount the unit.
• Disc is very dirty.
