Failure to heed the instructions can result in
injury or material damage.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may lead to accident, fire or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Blocking them may cause heat to build up inside and may
result in fire.
KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
STOP THE VEHICLE IF UNIT OPERATION MIGHT
INTERFERE WITH DRIVING.
If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.
PRECAUTIONS
Temperature
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
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.
When problems occur such as a lack of sound or video,
foreign objects inside the unit, smoke coming out, or
noxious odors, stop use immediately and contact the
dealer where you bought the equipment. Failure to do so
may result in an accident or injury.
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.
DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT OR LOOK AT
THE SCREEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
Operating the equipment may distract the driver from
looking ahead of the vehicle and cause accident. Always
stop the vehicle in a safe location before operating this
equipment.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged
discs. Playing a bad disc could severely damage the
playback mechanism.
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 noises could be the cause of accident.
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.
DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR PURPOSES
OTHER THAN STATED FOR THE VEHICLE.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
DO NOT PLACE FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION
SLOTS OR GAPS.
Do not insert hands, fingers or foreign objects in the disc
or cassette insertion slots, or in gaps during monitor
startup/storage. Doing so may result in personal injury or
damage to the equipment.
2-EN
Installation Location
Never Attempt the Following
Make sure the CDM-7857/CDM-7854/CDE-7853 will not
be installed in a location subjected to:
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.
•
•
•
•
Direct sun and heat
High humidity and water
Excessive dust
Excessive vibrations
Handling the Detachable Front Panel
•
Do not expose to rain or water.
•
Do not drop or apply shock.
Correct Handling
Inserting Discs
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.
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.
CORRECT
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.
INCORRECT
CORRECT
New Discs
As a protective measure to prevent the CD from jamming,
the CD player will automatically 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.
Disc Cleaning
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 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
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.
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.
