Thermal Protection Circuit
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is
between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F)
before attempting to play a disc. If the
temperature is over +60°C (+140°F), the
protection circuit functions to stop the CD
player, and "---H" is displayed.
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.
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.
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.
Precautions

English
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. If the
player continues to eject a correctly inserted
disc, push the Reset switch (located behind the
detachable front panel) with a pointed object
such as a ball-point 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.
New Discs
As a protective measure, the CD player will
automatically eject discs that have either been
inserted incorrectly or have irregular surfaces. If
a new disc is ejected immediately after loading,
use your finger to feel around the outer edge of
the CD and its center hole. 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.
