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.

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

Disc Cleaning
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause
the DVD 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
operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories
on discs played in Alpine DVD players.

Video CDs
This DVD unit is compatible with playback control (PBC)
compatible video CDs (version 2.0).
“PBC” is a function by which you can use menu screens recorded
on the disc to find the scene you want to watch and view various
types of information in dialog style.
Using compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot
be guaranteed.
You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordable)/CD-RWs (CDReWritable) which have been recorded only on audio devices.
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3 formatted
audio files.
• Some of the following discs may not play on this unit:
Flawed discs, discs with fingerprints, discs exposed to extreme
temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), discs
recorded under unstable conditions, discs 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 files written in a format compliant with
ISO9660 level 1 or level 2. For details, see page 16.
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.

Tips for making your own CDs
The DVE-5207 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has
a built in MP3 decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your
own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3 encoded CD-R/RW
files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3 CD?
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy
in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer
3) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size
of the music file.*
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3) CD-R/RW discs:
The DVE-5207 can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA
to play the CD audio section or MP3 to play the MP3 section.*
Continued
5-EN
Multisession CD-R/RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one
session. If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may
be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this
becomes a “multisession” CD. The DVE-5207 can only read
multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3 files - Not Audio CD
files).
Properly formatted MP3 Discs:
Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use
standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32
characters) or Joliet (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file
naming conventions*.
*Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.
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.
• Clean the disc when it is dusty.
• Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat.
• 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 disc and you may not be
able to play it again.
Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs
• This unit is compatible only with discs recorded in the DVDVideo mode. Discs recorded in the DVD-VR mode cannot be
played back.
• Note that discs not finalized (processed to enable to play on
playback-only DVD players) cannot be played on this DVD
player.
•Some discs may not play back, depending on the recording
device. (This unit has a copy protection function. Discs copied
illegally will not be played back. Some files recorded by a
software using an improper recording system may be
recognized as illegally copied.)
• In the following cases, the disc may not play on this unit:
discs recorded by certain DVD recorders, certain irregular
discs, flawed discs, dirty discs, when the pickup lens of this
DVD player is dirty, or when moisture condensation has
occurred inside the unit.
•Be sure to follow all cautions included with your DVD-Rs/
DVD-RWs discs.
• Do not put stickers, seals, or tape on the label side of DVD-Rs/
DVD-RWs.
• Compared to the regular discs, DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs are more
affected by heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. If left in a car,
etc., damage may occur and it might not play on this unit.
Disc terminology
