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 fi nger, 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 fi ngerprints on the surface. Do not affi x tape, paper, or
gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.

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 infl uence 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.

Installation and Connections
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the
following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual thoroughly
for proper use.
Warning
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fi re or
product damage.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may
result in fi re, etc.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to
electrical shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN
SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to
prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct
or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake
pedals, etc., can be extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of
the wire and result in fi re or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING
HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel
lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions
may result in fi re.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR
STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any
other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used
for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could
disable control of the vehicle and cause fi re, etc.
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.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER
VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL
OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement, etc.,
and result in a serious accident.
Caution

damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal,
use a rubber grommet to prevent the wires insulation from being
cut by the metal edge of the hole.

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before
installing your PKG-RSE2. This will reduce any chance of
damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to
the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to
malfunction or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
• When making connections to the vehicle's electrical system,
be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board
computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this
unit. When connecting the PKG-RSE2 to the fuse box, make
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the PKG-RSE2 has the
appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your
ALPINE dealer.
• The PKG-RSE2 uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to
other units (e.g. amplifi er) having RCA connectors. You may
need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact
your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
