Operating Instructions

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN

INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

WARNING

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.

Failure to heed them can result in serious injury

or death.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions.

Failure to heed them can result in injury or

material property damage.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR

ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be

performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle

in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do

so may result in an accident.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the

product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest

Alpine Service Centre for repairing.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES.

INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+

and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery

may cause fire or personal injury.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL

HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency

vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be

dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD

VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING

DAMAGE.

PRECAUTIONS

Product Cleaning

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more

severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything

else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of

the vehicle and cause an accident.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C

(+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may

result in fire, etc.

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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE

REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,

consult a physician immediately.

Damaged Disc

Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing

a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING

FUSES.

Maintenance

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

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 BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,

electric shock or other injury.

3-EN

Never Attempt the Following

Correct Handling

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.

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.

Disc Cleaning

Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc.

“ERROR” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc

incorrectly. If “ERROR” continues to be displayed even though the

disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch with a

pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.

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.

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.

New Discs

To prevent the CD from jamming, “ERROR” is displayed if discs

with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted

incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial

loading, use your finger to 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.

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.

About MP3/WMA/AAC

This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2, and WMA tag.

If tag data is in an MP3/WMA/AAC 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” is displayed.

CAUTION

Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/

WMA/AAC data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it,

whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright

holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by

international treaty.

The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending

on the contents.

What is MP3?

Producing MP3/WMA/AAC discs

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/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-

RW using CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 510 files/

folders (including Root Folders), and the maximum number of

folders is 255.

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 realises such high compression ratios

by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human

ear or masked by other sounds.

Playback may not be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations

described above.

Media supported

The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs,

and CD-RWs.

Corresponding File Systems

What is AAC?

This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or

Level 2.

AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding” and is a

basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.

Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to

remember.

What is WMA?

The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root

directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is

limited.

WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio” is compressed audio data.

WMA is similar to MP3 audio data and can achieve CD quality

sound with small file sizes.

Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),

numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).

Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files

Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC

codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the

user’s manual for that software.

MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the

file extensions:

MP3: “mp3”

WMA: “wma” (ver. 7.1, 8 and 9 are supported)

AAC: “m4a”

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.

There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm

that the software being used conforms to the acceptable

formats listed above . It’s possible that the format may be

unplayable even though the extension is valid.

Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes version 7.0 or earlier is

supported.

11-EN

Order of files

Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes

Terminology

them to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what

is expected. Verify the writing order in the software’s

documentation. The playback order of the folders and files is as

follows.

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.

following and pages 3 to 5 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.

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.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE 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 THE

NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR

PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to

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 wire’s insulation from being cut by

the metal edge of the hole.

electrical shorts.

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.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR

DUST.

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.

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 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.

Precautions

•

Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before

installing your CDA-9883E. This will reduce any chance of

damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

Be sure to connect the colour 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 CDA-9883E to the fuse box, make

sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-9883E 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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE

REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,

consult a physician immediately.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER

VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR

SHIFT LEVER.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.

and results in serious accident.

•

The CDA-9883E 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 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, shift lever, brake

pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

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.
