PRECAUTIONS

Product Cleaning

Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For
more severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only.
Anything else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging
the plastic.

Temperature

Do not operate your unit in ambient temperature above +70°C
(+158°F) or below -20°C (-4°F).

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.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same
amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse(s) blows more
than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted
circuitry. Also have your vehicle’s voltage regulator checked.

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.

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.
Press

to 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.

New Discs

As a protective measure to prevent the disc from jamming, press

to eject any disc with irregular surface 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
center 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 shaped discs only for this unit and never use
any special shaped discs.

Use of special shaped discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

Characteristics of LCD Panel

• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image
will remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD
technology and is normal.

• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose
contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will
return to normal.

• The LCD panel is manufactured using an extremely high
precision manufacturing technology. Its effective pixel ratio
is over 99.99%. This means that 0.01% of the pixels could be
either always ON or OFF.

Using Wireless Headphones

If ACC or the monitor's power source is turned off, a loud noise is
produced through the headphones. Be sure to remove the wireless
headphones from your ears before you turn the monitor off.

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.

Installation Location

Make sure the PKG-RSE2 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

4-EN

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 center 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.
