Many car stereos can play MP3 files on disc, but sometimes that's still not enough. Alpine's CDE-9873 CD receiver plays MP3, WMA, and AAC formats on disc. In addition to this playback versatility, you get a strong built-in amplifier and a detachable face for security.
Add Alpine's optional "Full Speed" connection cable and you'll be able to use the stereo to control your iPod®. Alpine has invented a great way of finding the right song on your playlist quickly — the "percentage search" feature uses the radio preset buttons to jump over a designated percentage (0, 17, 33, 50, 67, or 83 percent) of your playlist.
The rotary volume knob makes it easy to adjust the volume, and you can tune the stereo's sound with the Bass Engine® sound controls. Two sets of preamp outputs ease the job of adding external amplifiers to your system. If you have a subwoofer, Bass Engine also lets you adjust the bass level directly from the stereo. An onboard high-pass filter blocks the low bass that your regular speakers can't handle.
