WARNING  
PRECAUTIONS  
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.  
Never Attempt the Following  
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.  
CORRECT  
CORRECT  
INCORRECT  
Inserting Discs  
Disc Cleaning  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
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 center 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.  
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.  
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 center 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.

There is no MX mode for AM radio.  
If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H700, etc.)  
is connected, its own MX processing is applied to the music  
source. Since the processor MX settings may not match the  
head unit, the audio processor needs to be adjusted. For  
details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the audio processor.

Note that for sampling rates, this device’s frame display

This device may not play back correctly depending on  
sampling rates.  
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.  
ID3 tags/WMA tags  
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding  
is capable of compressing the audio data at extremely  
high ratios shrinking music files by 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.  
ID3 tags of this device support ID3 tag v1 and v2.  
If ID3 tag/WMA tag data is in an MP3/WMA file, this  
device can display the title (track title), artist name, and  
album name ID3/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 SUPRT” is displayed.  
What is WMA?  
The tag information may not be correctly displayed,  
depending on the contents.  
WMA, or “Windows Media™ 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.  
Producing MP3/WMA discs  
MP3/WMA 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).  
Method for creating MP3/WMA files  
Media supported  
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.  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs,  
CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.  
The MP3 files that can be played back by this device  
have the file extension “mp3”. Files with no extension can  
not be played back.  
Corresponding File Systems  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level  
1 or Level 2.  
WMA files have the "wma" extension.  
(WMA ver. 7.1 and 8 are supported)  
Under the ISO9660 standard,  
there are some restrictions to remember.  
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the  
root directory). File/folder names are limited to 31  
characters (including the extension).  
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 can not correctly play back discs recorded  
with Track At Once or packet writing.  
28-EN  
Order of tracks  
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.

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 level 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.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
Caution  
following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual thoroughly  
for proper use.  
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  
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR  
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.  
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.  
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to  
electrical shorts.  
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, gear lever, brake  
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE  
OR DUST.  
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 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.  
Precautions  
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your CDA-9827/CDA-9826/CDA-9825. 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 CDA-9827/CDA-9826/CDA-9825 to  
the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the  
CDA-9827/CDA-9826/CDA-9825 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.  
The CDA-9827/CDA-9826/CDA-9825 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.  
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.  
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.  
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 GEARSHIFT.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.  
and results in serious accident.  
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.
