PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn
instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please read the
following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation
system correctly.
• This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any
route suggestions made by this navigation system should never
supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal
judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practises. Do not
follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to
perform an unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe
situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
• Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and
legal manner and location.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor while you
are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before
attempting to access the system.
• When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency
service, please contact the facility to validate and verify
availability, prior to driving to it. Not all locations of emergency
service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and
clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own
judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these
situations.
• The map database contained within the media (SD memory card)
in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the
time of production. Because of changes in streets and
neighborhoods, there may be situations where the navigation
system may not be able to route you to your desired destination.
In these cases, use your own personal judgment.
• The map database is designed to provide you with route
suggestions, it does not take account of the relative safety of a
suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required
to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road
closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road
surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.),
traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors
which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience.
Use your personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to
provide you with an alternate route.
• There may be situations where the navigation system may
display the vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving
judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving
conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation
system should correct the vehicle’s position automatically;
however, there may be times where you may have to correct the
position yourself. If this is the case, stop in a safe and legal
manner and location before attempting operation.
which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency
vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could
cause an accident.
• Please make certain that any other person who intends on using
this navigation system reads these precautions and the following
instructions carefully.
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of
the navigation system which you are uncertain about,
please contact your local Alpine authorised navigation
dealer before using the navigation system.

NOTICE
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
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +45°C
(+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.
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.
New Discs
To prevent the disc from jamming, “Disc error” is displayed if discs
with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted
incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial
loading, use your finger to 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 ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then insert
the disc again.

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.
“Disc error” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc
incorrectly. If “Disc error” continues to be displayed even though
the disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch with a
pointed object such as a ballpoint 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.
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.
Installation Location
Make sure the INE-W977BT will not be installed in a location
subjected to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations

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
INCORRECTCORRECT
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.
10-EN
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 diametre of the disc. Using
such accessories can cause operational problems. We recommend
not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine DVD players.
Transparent SheetDisc Stabilizer
Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex.
Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions
into a special screen. This will restrict operation of these functions
to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the
driver’s attention will be on the road and not on the INE-W977BT.
This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers.
Setup operations cannot be made if the car is moving. The car must
be parked and the parking brake must be engaged for the procedure
described in the Owner’s Manual to be valid. The warning “Unable
to operate while driving.” will be displayed if any attempts are
made to perform these operations while driving.
• The INE-W977BT draws minimal current even when its power switch
is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the
INE-W977BT is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the
vehicle’s battery, the battery may be discharged.
An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be
added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the
OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back
ON before using the INE-W977BT. For connecting the SPST switch,
refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (sold separately)”
(page 100). If the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be
disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused
for an extended period of time.

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-Recordables)/CD-RWs (CDReWritables) which have been recorded only on audio devices.
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA/AAC
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/WMA/AAC files written in a format
compliant with this unit. For details, see pages 33 and 34.
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 (finalised).
• Finalise the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback
again.
Tips for making your own discs
The INE-W977BT plays DVD Video, DivX®, Audio CD and has a
built in MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your own
music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded CD-R/
RW file s).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/AAC
CD?
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy
in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)/
WMA (Windows Media Audio)/AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is
a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the
music file*.
Multisession CD-R/RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session.
If the disc is not closed (finalised), additional data may be added.
Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a
“multisession” CD.
* If the first session on a disc containing both CD-DA data and
MP3/WMA/AAC data is a CD-DA file, only CD-DA files will
be played.
Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC 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.
