Audio Systems: 1997 Alpine CDE 7826, alpine usa, bench test

Question
Is it possible to locate a manual for this CD player? Purchased an old 'K` car with one left in box in trunk, would like to get it up and running.

Answer
I could not find this model number on the Alpine site.

this web page will give you parts and service locations where you might find something.

However, manufacturers don't usually keep support around for more than about 7 years, so I think this might be a tough one to find.

I see a bunch of them on eBay for cheap; maybe you should just buy one that works if that is the model you want.

Mostly, good technicians don't need the manuals to make repairs; they just know how to repair them.

Parts may be a problem with one this old, but check with a local repair/install place and see if they have good advice for you.

Good luck,

PS: They are easy to bench test and check out; maybe it is runnig fine and with an ohmmeter and some speakers you can find out all the connections for wiring it up.
