PRECAUTIONS  
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL  
HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.  
Product Cleaning  
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.  
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.

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 this unit 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.  
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.  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
New Discs  
To prevent the CD from jamming, the LCD is displayed as error 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 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.

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.  
Irregular Shaped Discs  
Be sure to use round shape discs only for this unit and never use  
any special shape discs.  
Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

Press 4(M.I.X.) again to cancel.  
Folder M.I.X. (Random Play) (MP3/  
WMA/AAC)  
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.  
Press and hold 4(M.I.X.) for at least 2 seconds.  
The “  
FOLDER” and “  
M.I.X.” indicators appear in the  
display, and all files in the current folder are played back in  
random sequence.  
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.  
Press and hold 4(M.I.X.) again to cancel.  
Scanning Programs  
Press 5(SCAN) to activate the scan mode.  
The first 10 seconds of each track (file) will be played back in  
succession.  
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 5(SCAN) again to cancel.  
What is AAC?  
Folder Scanning Programs (MP3/WMA/  
AAC)  
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a  
basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.  
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC files  
Press and hold 5(SCAN) for at least 2 seconds.  
From the next folder, the first 10 seconds of the first file in each  
folder is played back in sequence.  
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” / “wma” / “m4a.” Files with no extension  
cannot be played back (WMA ver. 7-9 are supported). Protected  
files are not supported, neither are raw AAC files (using the  
“.aac” extension).  
Press and hold 5(SCAN) again to cancel.  
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 is supported.

Order of files  
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes  
MP3  
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.  
Sampling rates: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz,

ID3 tags/WMA tags  
This device supports ID3 tag 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 up to 64 characters. (Unicoded file  
and folder names are up to 32 characters.)  
For non-supported characters and symbols an asterisk is  
displayed.  
If information contains characters other than ID3 tag information,  
the audio file may not be played back.  
The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending  
on the contents.  
Folder  
MP3/WMA/AAC File  
*
The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no file is  
contained in the folder.  
Producing MP3/WMA/AAC discs  
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 512  
files/folders (including Root Folders), and the maximum number  
of folders is 255.  
Playback may not be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations  
described above.  
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.  
Media supported  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs,  
and CD-RWs.  
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.  
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.  
Encoding  
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into  
the specified audio compression format.  
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, a-z,  
numbers 0-9 and symbols.  
Tag  
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,  
etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.  
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.  
Root folder  
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file  
system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created  
automatically for all burned discs.  
Formats supported  
This device supports Multi-Session.  
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with  
Track At Once or packet writing.  
Apple HFS, UDF 1.50, Mixed Mode CD and Enhanced CD (CD-  
Extra) are not supported.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
following and “Operating Instructions” 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.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to  
electrical shorts.  
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.  
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.  
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  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your CDE-100EUB/CDE-100E. This will reduce any  
chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 CDE-100EUB/CDE-100E to the fuse  
box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDE-  
100EUB/CDE-100E 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.  
The CDE-100EUB/CDE-100E 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.  
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.  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
SERIAL NUMBER:  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided  
below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number or the  
engraved serial number is located on the bottom of the unit.
