Precautions
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60
°C (+140°F) and 10°C
(+14
°F) before turning your unit on.
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.
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. Your player will auto-
matically 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.
Irregular Shaped Discs
Make sure the discs you use in this unit do not have any irregularities. The outer and
inner edges should be round and smooth. Use of irregularly shaped discs may cause
damage to the mechanism.
New Discs
As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming, the CD player will automati-
cally eject discs with irregular surfaces 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 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 ball-point pen or other
such instrument, then insert the disc again.
Installation Location
Make sure the DVA-5205P will not be installed in a location subjected to:
· Direct sun and heat
· High humidity and water
· Excessive dust
· Excessive vibrations
