I have an Alpine CDA9856 sterio. When I insert CDs in to it, after attempting to play It displays "ERROR" . I tried to reset the player, but It doesn't work. Please help me

If you have already tried resetting the Alpine INE-S920HD head unit by pressing the reset button and the CD player is still not functioning, here are a few additional steps you can take:

1. Check the CD: Ensure that the CD you are trying to play is in good condition and free from scratches or damage. Try playing a different CD to see if the issue persists. If the problem occurs with multiple CDs, it indicates a potential issue with the CD player itself.
2. Clean the CD player: Dust or dirt on the lens of the CD player can cause playback issues. Try using a CD lens cleaner to clean the lens of the CD player. Follow the instructions provided with the CD lens cleaner carefully.
3. Verify the disc format: Make sure the CD you are trying to play is in a compatible format supported by the Alpine INE-S920HD head unit. Refer to the user manual for the supported disc formats.
4. Update firmware: Check if there is a firmware update available for your Alpine head unit. Visit the Alpine website or contact their customer support for information on how to update the firmware. Updating the firmware may resolve any software-related issues that could be causing the CD player malfunction.
5. Seek professional assistance: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's recommended to seek assistance from a professional car audio technician or contact Alpine customer support directly. They have the expertise to diagnose and resolve any complex issues with the CD player or head unit.

Remember to handle CDs with care, avoid using CDs with scratches or damage, and ensure the head unit is compatible with the disc format you are using.

Look under the faceplate. On the left side should be a reset button. Try resetting your unit & see if it helps.

check and see if the dvd player needs to be cleaned. you can pick up contaminates from other dvd's or cd's get yourself a dvd disk cleaner and run it thru seveveral times . and try to play your money then.

What brand is the blank cd? I know some alpines have problems reading certain burnable cds. I had one that wouldn't play sony white labels.

may be you insert CDs wrong side. try to switch CDs to different side. might help

Try cleaning the lens first, if you can take the top off and are able to see the lens, using a cotton swab soaked in 91% alcohol wet the lens, don't rub it, then blow it off with computer duster. Or try a cd based lens cleaner (Radio Shack).

Good Luck Leadispenser

Just contact Alpine, they might make you turn it in and charge a fee. Goodluck.
