Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is off. Correct Handling 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. CORRECT INCORRECT CORRECT Inserting Discs 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. 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. 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. Centre Hole Centre Hole New 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.

MP3, whose official name is "MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3," is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC. MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds. · Search mode is cancelled by pressing and holding 3 /PTY for at least 2 seconds in Folder Name Search mode. · While in Folder Name Search mode, press 3 /PTY to switch to File Name Search mode. · "NO FILE" is displayed for 2 seconds if the folder that is selected by the Folder Name Search mode contains no files. · "ROOT" is displayed for a folder that does not have a folder name. · Folder Name search cannot be made during M.I.X. play. File Name Search mode 3 4 5 Press 19/AF or 28/NEWS to select another Folder. Select the desired file by turning the Rotary encoder (CDE-9845RX) or press 4 and 3 (CDE9843RX) within 10 seconds. Press the Rotary encoder (CDE-9845RX) or MODE/LOUD (CDE-9843RX) to play back the selected file. / What is WMA? WMA, or "Windows MediaTM Audio," is compressed audio data. WMA allows you to create music files and store them at higher ratios of compression than MP3 audio data (approx. half original size). This is achieved while still maintaining CD quality sound. · File Name Search mode is cancelled by pressing and holding 3 PTY for at least 2 seconds. · While in File Name Search mode, press 3 /PTY to switch to Folder Name Search mode. · File Name search cannot be made during M.I.X. play. Method for creating MP3/WMA files Audio data is compressed by using MP3/WMA specified software. For details on creating MP3/WMA files, refer to the user's manual for that software. MP3/WMA files that can be played back by this device have the file extension "mp3" / "wma". Files with no extension cannot be played back. (WMA ver. 7.1, 8 and 9 are supported) 12-EN Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates MP3 Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz Bit rates: 8 - 320 kbps Variable Bit rate: 8 - 320 kbps WMA Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz Bit rates: 48 - 192 kbps Variable Bit rate: 48 - 320 kbps Note that for sampling rates, this device's frame display (Page 16) may not display correctly. This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates. Order of files The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software writes them. Therefore, the playing order may not be the same as the order you input. The playback order of the folders and files is as follows. However, the folder and file playback order differs from the folder no. and file no. indicated on the display. 1 Root folder 2 2 3 4 4 3 ID3 tags/WMA tags This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA tag. If tag data is in an MP3/WMA file, this device can display the title (track title), artist name, and album name ID3 tag/WMA tag data. This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters (up to 30 for ID3 tags and up to 15 for WMA tags) and the underscore. For non-supported characters, "NO SUPPORT" (CDE-9845RX only) or "NO SUPRT" (CDE-9843RX/ CDE-9841R only) is displayed. The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending on the contents. 5 5 6 7 1 6 Producing MP3/WMA discs MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CDRW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders). However, the maximum number of folders is 255. Folder MP3/WMA File Media supported The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CDRs, and CD-RWs. Terminology Bit rate This is the "sound" compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files. Sampling rate This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data. Encoding Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format. Tag Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA files. MP3: ID3 tag WMA: WMA tag Root folder The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files. Corresponding File Systems This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2. Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to remember. The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is limited. Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers 0-9, and `_' (underscore). This device also can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly. Formats supported This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session. This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with Track At Once or packet writing. 13-EN Sound Setting CDE-9845RX Rotary encoder (MODE/LOUD) BAND CDE-9843RX/CDE-9841R: · If the MODE/LOUD is not pressed within 15 seconds after selecting the BASS or TREBLE mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode. *1 When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted. 2 Turn the Rotary encoder (CDE-9845RX) or press 4 and 3 (CDE-9843RX/CDE-9841R) until the desired sound is obtained in each mode.
