operating instructions.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral  
triangle and "CAUTION" are intended to alert  
the user to the presence of important  
operating instructions.  
Failure to heed the instructions will result in  
severe injury or death.  
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.

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  
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL  
THEM SECURELY.  
Warning  
Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit  
internally or may not securely install the unit in place as  
parts that come loose may create hazards.  
USE ONLY VEHICLES WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE (–)  
GROUND.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH  
MOISTURE OR DUST.  
A high incidence of moisture or dust that penetrates into  
this unit may cause smoke or fire.  
Check with your dealer if you are not sure. Failure to do  
so may result in fire or electric shock.  
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM  
THE NEGATIVE (–) BATTERY TERMINAL.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due  
to electrical shorts.  
Precautions  
DO NOT CUT AWAY THE WIRE SHEATH AND USE  
POWER FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT.  
Doing so may exceed the current carrying capacity of the  
wire and result in fire or electric shock.  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post  
before installing your CDM-7857/CDM-7854/CDE-  
7853. 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-7857/CDM-7854/CDE-7853 to the fuse box,  
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDM-  
7857/CDM-7854/CDE-7853 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.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT  
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION OR CREATE  
HAZARDS FOR VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper  
movement.  
DO NOT CONTACT, DAMAGE OR OBSTRUCT PIPES,  
FLUID LINES OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.  
Failure to take such precautions may result in fire or cause  
an accident or injuries.  
DO NOT USE NUTS OR BOLTS IN THE BRAKE  
SYSTEM WHEN MAKING INSTALLATION OR  
The CDM-7857/CDM-7854/CDE-7853 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.  
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.  
GROUND CONNECTIONS.  
Never use safety-related parts such as bolts or nuts in the  
steering or brake systems or tanks to make wiring  
installations or ground connections. Using such parts  
could disable control of the vehicle and cause brake  
failure, other accident or injury.  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to do so may cause fire or accident to occur.  
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR  
PINCHED.  
Route the cables and wiring so as not to be crimped by  
moving parts or make contact with sharp or pointed spots  
which might damage the wiring. Failure to do so may  
cause failure of unit or vehicle.  
IMPORTANT  
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.
