    HELP for my son's Alpine Head-Unit - blackout mode

    OK, IT'S FIXED.....I called Best Buy and they suggested to take the plate off and poke something in the reset "hole" and hold it for about 15-30 seconds. Doing so should reset the player to factory settings. IT WORKED! Of course, I did that last night, but didn't hold it long enough...ugh...

    HELP for my son's Alpine Head-Unit - blackout mode

    HELP for my son's Alpine Head-Unit - blackout mode

    HELP for my son's Alpine Head-Unit - blackout mode

    Yeah, I appreciate the suggestion. Got the manual, but the darn thing says to press the BLACKOUT button...the problem is, is that there ISN'T a blackout button. It's between the Mute and Source buttons. Pressing both or a combination for over 5 seconds doesn't do anything but mute the...

    HELP for my son's Alpine Head-Unit - blackout mode

    It has the words "blackout", but it's above the MUTE button...there must be another button (like a function key) to press with it, but I've tried all and can't figure it out....any further advice? and, thanks for the quick response, it's greaty appreciated.
