3-EN

Never Attempt the Following

Installation Location

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.

Make sure the CDE-9850Ri will not be installed in a location

subjected to:

•

Direct sun and heat

High humidity and water

Excessive dust

Excessive vibrations

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

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.

“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.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

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

Disc Cleaning

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 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.

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.

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.

What is MP3?

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.

File Name Search mode

Press

to select another Folder.

Select the desired file by turning the Rotary

encoder.

What is WMA?

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.

Press FUNC. in the Search mode to return to the previous step.

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)

Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates

Order of files

The unit plays the files in the order that the writing software

MP3

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 and file number indicated on the display.

Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz,

16 kHz, 12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz

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.

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” is displayed.

The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending

on the contents.

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). However, the maximum number

of folders is 255.

Media supported

Terminology

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

and CD-RWs.

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.

Corresponding File Systems

This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or

Level 2.

Sampling rate

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.

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.

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

numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).

Encoding

Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into

the specified audio compression format.

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.

Tag

Formats supported

Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,

etc., written into MP3/WMA files.
