If the temperature 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 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. 3 Precautions New Discs Center Hole 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. Bumps Center Hole New Disc Outside (Bumps) Handling Magazine When discs are being exchanged in the 3DE7985E, 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 insertion slot.
