In case of difficulty

If operation freezes, the screen goes black or the unit should otherwise not function properly, try turning the power off then back on. Alternatively, try the following methods in the order listed until the DVA-5205 returns to normal playbak mode:

1)Change the source from DVD to another source then return to DVD mode.

2)Turn the car’s ignition OFF and back ON again.

3)Press the RESET button on the face of the DVA-5205.

This guide will help you isolate the problem if the unit is at fault. Otherwise, make sure the rest of your system is properly connected or consult your authorized Alpine dealer.
