Pre c a utions  
This label is intended to alert the user to the presence of important  
operating instructions.  
Wa rning  
Failure to heed the instructions will result severe injury or death.  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER  
Attempts to disassemble or alter may lead to an accident, fire and/or electric shock.  
KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN  
Store small articles (batteries, screws, etc.) in places not accessible to children. If  
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.  
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES  
Replace fuses only with fuses of the same ampere rating. Failure to do so may result in a  
fire and/or damage to the vehicle.  
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS  
When problems appear, stop using the system immediately and contact the dealer from  
whom you purchased the equipment. Some problems which may warrant immediate  
attention include a lack of sound, noxious odors or smoke being emitted from the unit, or  
foreign objects dropped inside the unit.  
DO NOT OPERATE THE REMOTE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING  
Do not change settings while driving. If operation requiring a prolonged view of the display  
is required, stop the vehicle in a safe location before attempting operation.  
This label is intended to alert the user to the presence of important  
operating instructions.  
Failure to heed the instructions can result injury or material damage.  
Ca ution  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS  
Do not block air vents or heat discharge plates. Blocking them will cause heat to build up  
inside and may result in fire.  
DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY  
Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside noises while driving. Driving  
while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.  
DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE  
Do not use this equipment for purposes other than those listed for a vehicle. Failure to do  
so may result in an electric shock or an injury.  
KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE CD OR CASSETTE COMPARTMENT SLOT  
Keep any foreign objects, including fingers, out of the CD or cassette compartment slot.  
STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION THAT COULD  
INTERFERE WITH YOUR DRIVING  
If loading or unloading a CD or cassette interferes with your driving, stop the vehicle in a  
safe location before attempting operation.  
DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE COR-  
RECT BATTERY POLARITY  
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries and do not replace with other than specified  
batteries. When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as  
instructed. Battery rupture or chemical leakage can cause an injury or equipment malfunc-  
tion.

The rm a l Prote c tion Circ uit  
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 tempera-  
ture is over +60°C (+140°F), the protection  
circuit functions to stop the CD player, and "HI-  
TEMP" is displayed.  
+60°C  
–10°C  
Moisture Cond e nsa tion  
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.  
Da m a g e d Disc  
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or  
damaged discs. Playing a bad disc could  
severely damage the playback mechanism.  
Ma inte na nc e  
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.  
Irre g ula r Sha p e d Disc s  
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.

English  
Pre c a utions  
Ne w Disc s  
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.

Ha nd ling Ma g a zine  
When discs are being exchanged in the 3DA-  
W882E, the magazine is pushed out from the  
changer. While this operation is in progress, do  
not try to pull out the magazine or stop its  
movement in any way, as this could cause  
damage to the mechanism. In addition, be  
aware of the changer's operation so it will not  
interfere with your driving. For example, before  
changing gears, check the position of the  
magazine so as not to hit it while it is changing  
discs.

CAUTION:  
Do not insert anything other than magazine into

Pre c a utions  
Ta p e Sla c k  
Check and make sure any slack in the tape is  
taken up before inserting the tape into the unit.  
A loose tape can get caught in the mechanism  
and cause damage to the unit and the tape  
itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil or a  
similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn  
until all the slack has been taken up.  
Exc e ssive ly Thin Ta p e  
C-120 type cassette tapes are not recom-  
mended for use in automobile tape players.  
Pre c ision Ta p e Me c ha nism  
Prevent any foreign objects from entering the  
cassette opening as the precision mechanism  
and tape head may be damaged.  
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can  
damage the tape head.  
Ta p e He a d Cle a ning  
Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20  
hours of use) of the tape head with a wet type  
head-cleaning cassette tape (available at audio  
stores) is necessary for best performance.  
Fuse Re p la c e m e nt  
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement  
must be of the same amperage as shown on  
the fuse holder. If the fuse blows more than  
once, carefully check all electrical connections  
for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle’s  
voltage regulator checked.

Disc Ca re

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 on the disc. Do not write on the disc.

Disc Cle a ning  
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the  
disc could cause the CD 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.  
Disc Ac c e ssorie s  
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 the disc to be out of standard  
specifications and may create operational  
problems. We recommend not using these  
accessories on discs played in Alpine CD  
players.
