Installation Location
Never Attempt the Following
Make sure the CDM-7859R/CDM-7858R/CDM-7856R
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 by its
edge so that no fingerprints are left 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 with a
pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.
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.
CORRECT
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 ballpoint 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.

Installation and Connections
Before installing or connecting the unit, please
read the following and pages 2 and 3 of this
manual thoroughly for proper use.
Caution
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY
EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special
technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always
contact the dealer where you purchased this product to
have the work done.
Warning
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire
or product damage.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL
THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of
other than designated parts may damage this unit internally
or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause
parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE
GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do
so may result in fire, etc.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due
to electrical shorts.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like
the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent
crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through
a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire's
insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED
IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual
to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring
that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering
wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely
hazardous.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH
MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence
of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into
this unit may result in product failure.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying
capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post
before installing your CDM-7859R/CDM-7858R/CDM-
7856R. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in
case of a short-circuit.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN
• Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the
diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to
malfunction or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
• When making connections to the vehicle's electrical
system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g.
on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide
power for this unit. When connecting the CDM-7859R/
CDM-7858R/CDM-7856R to the fuse box, make sure the
fuse for the intended circuit of the CDM-7859R/CDM-
7858R/CDM-7856R has the appropriate amperage. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the
vehicle. When in doubt, consult your ALPINE dealer.
• The CDM-7859R/CDM-7858R/CDM-7856R uses female
RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g.
amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an
adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your
authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes,
fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such
precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR
STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or
any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER
be used for installations or ground connections. Using
such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause
fire etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERY OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
• Be sure to connect the speaker (–) leads to the speaker (–)
terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker
cables to each other or to the vehicle body.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper
movement etc. and results in serious accident.
Please record the serial number of your unit in the
