Installation Location  
Never Attempt the Following  
Make sure the CDM-7871 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 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  
Irregular Shaped Discs  
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.  
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.

Insta lla tion a nd Conne c tions  
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.  
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE  
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.  
GROUND.  
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do  
so may result in fire, etc.  
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM  
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR  
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.  
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 wires  
insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.  
THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due  
to electrical shorts.  
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-7871. This will reduce any  
chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
Be sure to connect the color 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-  
7871 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended  
circuit of the CDM-7871 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-7871 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.  
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN  
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 BOLTS OR  
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.  
SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.  
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If  
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT  
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE  
STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the  
space provided below and keep it as a permanent  
record. The serial number plate is located on the  
bottom of the unit.
