DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may result in an accident, fire or

electric shock.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERY OUT OF THE REACH OF

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.

DO NOT W A TCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING. Watching the video may distract the
driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

build up inside and may result in fire.

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.

cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized
Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Center for repairing.

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

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 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Installation Location

Make sure the DVA-5205 will not be installed in a location subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

About DVDs

About DVDs

Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in
which the digital data is recorded. The data is
represented as microscopic pits recorded into
the track – these pits are read by a laser beam
to play the disc. On DVDs, the density of the
tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs
can contain more data in less space.

CD-ROMs

DVDs

Minimum bit
length -

A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about
four hours of music.
In addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality
with vivid colors thanks to a horizontal resolu­tion of over 500 lines (compared to less than
300 for VHS tape). With the addition of an
optional, digital audio processor (PXA-H510),
you can recreate the power and presence of a
movie theater with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
Surround.

Moreover, DVDs offer a variety of functions.

• Multiple audio* (page 19)

Movies can be recorded in up to eight
languages. The desired language can be
selected from the remote control unit.

• Subtitles function* (page 20)

Movies can include subtitles in up to 32
languages. The desired subtitle language
can be selected from the remote control unit.

• Multi angle function* (page 20)

When the DVD contains a movie shot from
multiple angles, the desired angle can be
selected from the remote control unit.

• Multi story function*

With this function, a single movie includes
various story lines. You can select different
story lines to view various versions of the
same movie.
Operation differs from disc to disc. Story line
selection screens including instructions
appear during the movie. Just follow the
instructions.

Note: * The functions audio languages, subtitle

languages, angles, etc., differ from disc to
disc. For details, refer to the disc’s
instructions.
