CEA-2006 Compliant: The
specifications given by Alpine for the built-in amplifier comply with the
CEA-2006 mobile amplifier power testing and measurement standards from the CEA
(Consumer Electronics Association). All manufacturers who comply with the
standard can display the CEA-2006 logo on their product.
Switchable
Button Color: The
illumination of the 4 main buttons (Source/Power, Band, |<<, and >>|) can be
switched to any of 4 colors: Blue, Green, Amber, and Red. When the illumination
is set to Blue or Green, the color of the other buttons is Green. When the
illumination is set to Amber or Red, the color of the other buttons is Amber.
Dimmer:
This
unit is equipped with an illumination dimmer lead. When the unit's dimmer mode
has been set to "Auto" and the illumination lead has been connected to
your vehicle's headlight circuit, the button illumination will dim to a
fixed, preset level whenever the headlights are turned on. If preferred, you may
choose the "Manual" dimmer mode setting, so the button illumination is dim at all
times.

Bass Engine functions provide control over your system, so you can tailor the
sound to your personal tastes. Bass Engine includes the following
functions:
- Bass Control:
- Bass Center Frequency:
Select from 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 120Hz

different levels of BBE for each source. BBE is not available for AM radio.
Switchable Rear/Subwoofer Preout:
The rear preamp outputs can be switched to a non-fading subwoofer preamp output
with a variable output of 0 to +15. When the subwoofer is activated in the Setup
menu, the preout is switched at the same time. When the subwoofer is
deactivated, the preout is switched back to a rear channel output.
MP3/WMA Playback: This
unit can play CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs containing MP3/WMA files recorded
using the ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 formats. MP3 files with constant and
variable bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps and WMA files with constant and
variable bit rates from 48 kbps to 192 kbps are supported. Discs recorded using
Joliet, Romeo, or other ISSO 9660 compliant formats can be played, but file and
folder names will not be displayed correctly. Discs
containing both standard CD audio and MP3/WMA data can be played; the unit may
be set to play only the CD audio tracks or both types of tracks. ID3 tag v1 and
v2, and WMA tag are supported; track title, artist name and album name ID3 tag data can be
displayed.
Disc and Station Titling: Titles
of up to 8 characters in length may be entered for up to 24 radio stations and
18 CDs.
Text/File/Folder Search: When
you're playing a disc with CD Text, or MP3/WMA tags, you can easily search for a
track or file by its title. Once you have activated the search mode, you can use
the rotary encoder to quickly scan through the titles to locate the desired
track, and select it by pressing the rotary encoder.
Auxiliary Input: The CDE-9845
is equipped with a rear-mounted 3.5mm female mini-jack auxiliary input. In the
Setup menu, you can activate/deactivate the Aux Input. When activated, you can
choose a name for the input from the following: Auxiliary, TV, VCR, or Game.
Power IC Off:
When an external amplifier is connected and the built-in amplifier is not used,
removing power from the built-in amplifier will improve the sound quality.
