Inserting Discs  
Disc Cleaning  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc.  
“ERROR” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc  
incorrectly. If “ERROR” continues to be displayed even though the  
disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch with a  
pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.  
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the  
CD player to skip. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface  
with a clean, soft cloth from the center of the disc to the outer edge.  
If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a  
solution of mild neutral detergent before cleaning the disc.  
Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in  
skips, but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.  
New Discs  
To prevent the CD from jamming, “ERROR” is displayed if discs  
with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted  
incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial  
loading, use your finger to feel around the inside of the center hole  
and outside edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps or  
irregularities, this could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To  
remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside edge  
of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other such instrument, and then  
insert the disc again.  
Disc Accessories  
There are various accessories available on the market for protecting  
the disc surface and improving sound quality. However, most of  
them will influence the thickness and/or diameter of the disc. Using  
such accessories can cause the disc to be out of standard  
specifications and may create operational problems. We  
recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine  
CD players.

Be sure to use round discs only for this unit and never use any  
special shaped discs.  
Use of special shape discs may cause damage to the mechanism.  
Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time. Never  
expose the disc to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity may damage  
the CD and you may not be able to play it again.

What is MP3?  
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3,is a compression  
standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardization  
Organization and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.  
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of  
compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of  
music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved  
while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such  
high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either  
inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.

Producing MP3/WMA discs  
Terminology  
MP3/WMA files are prepared, then written to a CD-R or CD-RW using  
CD-R writing software. A disc can hold up to 509 files/255 folders.  
Playback may not be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations  
described above.  
Bit rate  
This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The higher  
the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.  
Media supported  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and  
CD-RWs.  
Sampling rate  
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled  
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so  
the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher  
the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the  
volume of data.  
Corresponding File Systems  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or Level 2.  
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to remember.  
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory).  
The number of characters for a folder/file name is limited.  
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps), numbers  
0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).  
This device also can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other  
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file  
names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.  
Encoding  
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the  
specified audio compression format.  
Tag  
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc.,  
written into MP3/WMA files.  
Formats supported  
This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced CD  
(CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.  
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with Track At  
Once or packet writing.  
Root folder  
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system.  
The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically  
for all burned discs.  
Order of files  
Files are played back in the order that the writing software writes them  
to the disc. Therefore, the playback order may not be what is expected.  
Verify the writing order in the software’s documentation. The playback  
order of the folders and files is as follows.  
Root folder

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following  
CAUTION  
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.  
WARNING  
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical  
skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer  
where you purchased this product to have the work done.  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or  
product damage.  
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.  
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than  
designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not  
securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become  
loose resulting in hazards or product failure.  
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.  
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may  
result in fire, etc.  
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY  
TERMINAL.  
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP  
METAL EDGE.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to  
electrical shorts.  
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat  
rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and  
damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a  
rubber grommet to prevent the wires insulation from being cut by  
the metal edge of the hole.  
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.  
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other  
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of  
the wire and result in fire or electric shock.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.  
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of  
moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may  
result in product failure.  
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.  
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions  
so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or  
electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.  
PRECAUTIONS  
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO  
MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.  
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other  
safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for  
installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable  
control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (−) battery post before  
installing your CDE-153BT/UTE-52BT. This will reduce any chance  
of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram.  
Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage  
to the vehicle’s electrical system.  
When making connections to the vehicles electrical system, be aware  
of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not  
tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting  
the CDE-153BT/UTE-52BT to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for  
the intended circuit of the CDE-153BT/UTE-52BT has the  
appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to the  
unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.  
The CDE-153BT/UTE-52BT uses female RCA-type jacks for  
connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors.  
You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact  
your authorized Alpine dealer for assistance.  
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF  
CHILDREN.  
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult  
a physician immediately.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE  
OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.  
and results in serious accident.  
Be sure to connect the speaker (−) leads to the speaker (−) terminal.  
Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or  
to the vehicle body.  
IMPORTANT  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided  
below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number or the  
engraved serial number is located on the bottom of the unit.
