SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR  
PANELS.  
Any function that requires your prolonged  
attention should only be performed after

CAUTION  
PRECAUTIONS  
This symbol means important instruc-  
tions.  
Failure to heed them can result in  
injury or material property damage.  
Temperature  
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is  
between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F)  
before turning your unit on.  
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM  
APPEARS.  
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.  
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or  
damage to the product. Return it to your  
authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine  
Service Center for repairing.  
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  
New Discs  
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.  
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.  
Center Hole  
Inserting Discs  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for  
playback.  
Bumps  
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 with a pointed  
object such as a ball-point pen.  
Center Hole  
New Disc  
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.  
Outside  
(Bumps)  
Irregular Shaped Discs  
Be sure to use round shape discs only for this  
unit and never use any special shape discs.  
Use of special shape discs may cause damage  
to the mechanism.

Installation Location  
Disc Cleaning  
Make sure the CDA-7990 will not be installed  
in a location subjected to:  
• Direct sun and heat  
• High humidity and water  
• Excessive dust  
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 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.  
• Excessive vibrations  
Handling the Detachable Front Panel  
• Do not expose to rain or water.  
• Do not drop or apply shock.  
Correct Handling  
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.  
Disc Accessories  
CORRECT  
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.

There are a variety of reasons, so  
let’s get technical. 1) The FM  
section has an extraordinarily high  
80dB signal-to-noise ratio, thanks  
to a new PLL (phase-locked loop)  
circuit with low jitter, and a new  
low-noise IF detection circuit. 2)  
Lower distortion (typically 0.08%,  
but always less than 0.1%) due to  
an improved demodulation coil. 3)  
High performance ceramic filter  
with automatic Wide/Narrow mode  
switching for greater selectivity,  
important in crowded reception  
areas. 4) Improved high-power  
input characteristics. 5) The AM  
section has new parts and circuitry  
that are more resistant to  
interference.  
What all this adds up to is very  
simple: a tuner capable of  
delivering radio sound that doesn’t  
suffer in comparison with CD  
sound.
