20 Most Recent Alpine CDA-9883 CD Player Questions & Answers

Here's a great explanation of the mx feature from a review of the alpine decks... "Media Xpander (MX) is a great feature. If you listen to lots of MP3s, you know the quality on some can leave a bit to be desired. Media Xpander helps compensate by adding bass and tone to your files. And you can control the level of ‘help’ you want (from 1-3, mine sits at 2 except for the worst discs). Even my worst bootlegs come out sounding pretty decent – and you can use it on both CDs and FM radio." hope that helps you put it to good use!

are you using an amplifer? if so, it sounds like you are using the blue wire instead of the blue/white wire to turn the amp on. the blue is antenna remote and turns of when it is not in tuner mode. the blue/white is amplifier remote.

try to unplug it and let it sit for a minute then plug it back in and see if it sets itself.

make sure your cd player is clean.

I bet the channels are burn up. Try hooking it up thru the amp. (using the rca's)

you might want to check all the fuses in the vehicle. i can't remember off the top of my head if there is a fuse in the back of the radio or not. you might want to check there too just in case.
