Visual Customizing

Dimmer Control (CDE-9848RB only)

DIM AUTO (Initial setting) / DIM MANU
Set the DIM control to AUTO to decrease the illumination brightness
of the unit with the head lights of the vehicle ON. This mode is useful
if you feel the unit's button lighting is too bright at night.
• If your vehicle should have a dimmer control for the
dashboardlights, never connect the DIMMER cable (orange) of the
radio to this dimmer control.

Scroll Setting

SCR AUTO / SCR MANU (Initial setting)
This CD player can scroll the disc and track names recorded on CD-
TEXT discs, as well as the text information of MP3 files, folder
names, and tags.
SCR AUTO : The CD text information, the text information of
folder and file names, and the tags are scrolled
automatically.
SCR MANU : The display is scrolled only when a disc is
loaded or when a track is changed, etc.
• The unit scrolls CD text names, folder names, file names or tag
display. The disc titles input manually (page 16) cannot be scrolled.

Scroll Type Setting

TYPE1 (Initial setting) / TYPE2
Choose from two scrolling methods.
Select the type you prefer.
TYPE1 : The characters scroll sequentially, appearing from
the right side of the display.
TYPE2 : The characters are displayed one by one, and
disappear one by one from the left side of the
display after the screen is filled up with the
characters.
MP3

Playing MP3 Data

CD-DA (Initial setting) / CDDA/MP3
This product can playback CDs containing both CD and MP3 data.
However, in some situations (some enhanced CDs), playback may be
difficult. For these special cases, you can select playback of CD data
only. When a disc contains both CD or the MP3 data, playback starts
from the CD data portion of the disc.
CD-DA : Only CD data can be played back.
CDDA/MP3 : Both CD data and MP3 file tracks can be
played back.
• Perform this setting before inserting a disc. If a disc has already
been inserted, perform the setting after you remove the disc.
External Device
Setting the AUX Mode (CDE-9848RB only)
AUX ON / AUX OFF (Initial setting)
You can input the audio of a connected external device (such as a
portable player) to the AUX input terminal of this unit, using a
commercially-available RCA cable.
You can change the AUX name display when AUX ON is set. Select
the AUX name by pressing g or f.

Connecting to an External Amplifier

PWR ON (Initial setting) / PWR OFF
When an external amplifier is connected, sound quality can be
improved by stopping the power supply of the built-in amplifier.
PWR OFF : Use this mode when the front pre-amplifier of the
unit is used to drive an external amplifier
connected to the speakers. In this setting, the
head unit's internal amplifier has no output to
drive speakers.
