shock.
KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do
so may result in fire or electric shock.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. When problems occur such

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.
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.
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.

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 insertion slots. Doing so may result
in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE
CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY. When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe
proper polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery

Precautions
Thermal Protection Circuit
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
"High-Temp" is displayed.
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.
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.
+60°C
–10°C

English
New Discs – CD –
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.
– MD –
Before inserting an MD
Use your finger to feel around the outer edge of
the MD. If you feel any small bumps, remove
the bumps before inserting.
Inserting an MD with bumps could severely
damage the mechanism.
Handling Magazine
When discs are being exchanged in the MDA-
W890E, 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.

Precautions
Using an MD
Check and ensure the following:
Under no circumstances should you open the
MD’s shutter and touch the inside of the disc.
Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight. Place
only 1 label in its proper position. Make sure the
MD is clean before inserting into the player.
Fuse Replacement
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.
Installation Location
Make sure the MDA-W890E player/receiver will
not be exposed to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations
