Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the  
product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest  
Alpine Service Center for repairing.  
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY  
FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.  
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be  
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle  
in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so

PRECAUTIONS  
Product Cleaning  
Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more  
severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything  
else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.  
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE  
NOISES WHILE DRIVING.  
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency  
vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be  
dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD  
VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING  
DAMAGE.  
Temperature  
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C  
(+140°F) and −10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.  
Moisture Condensation  
You may notice the CD playback sound wavering due to  
condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and  
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.  
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.  
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of  
the vehicle and cause an accident.  
Damaged Disc  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.  
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing  
a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.  
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.  
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.  
Maintenance  
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.  
Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station  
for servicing.  
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.  
Never Attempt the Following  
Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the  
player by the automatic reloading mechanism.  
Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is  
off.  
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.  
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.  
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.  
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.  
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,  
electric shock or other injury.  
DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION  
SLOTS OR GAPS.  
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.  
Inserting Discs  
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  
5-EN  
 
           
disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET button with a  
pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.  
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, 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.

About MP3  
CAUTION  
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3  
data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free  
or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly  
prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.  
Root folder  
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.  
Method for creating MP3 files  
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3 codecs. For details  
on creating MP3 files, refer to the user’s manual for that software.  
MP3 files that are playable on this device have the file extensions “mp3.  
Files with no extension cannot be played back.  
Supported playback sampling rates and bit rates  
MP3  
Sampling rates:  
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz,  
12 kHz, 11.025 kHz, 8 kHz  
Folder  
MP3 File  
Bit rates:  
8 - 320 kbps  
*
The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no file is contained  
in the folder.  
This device may not play back correctly depending on sampling rates.  
ID3 tags  
This device supports ID3 tag v1 and v2.  
If tag data is in an MP3 file, this device can display the title (track title),  
artist name, and album name ID3 tag data.  
Terminology  
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.  
This device can only display single-byte alphanumeric characters (up to  
30 for ID3 tags) and the underscore. For non-supported characters, “NO  
SUPPORT” is displayed.  
If information contains characters other than ID3 tag information, the  
audio file may not be played back.  
The tag information may not be correctly displayed, depending on the  
contents.  
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.  
Producing MP3 discs  
MP3 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/folders (including Root  
Folders), and the maximum number of folders is 255.  
Playback may not be performed if a disc exceeds the limitations  
described above.

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 ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING  
OBJECTS.  
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to  
prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct  
or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake  
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.  
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 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.  
PRECAUTIONS  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (−) battery post before  
installing your CDE-133BT. This will reduce any chance of damage to  
the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
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.  
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-133BT to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended  
circuit of the CDE-133BT 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.  
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.  
The CDE-133BT 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.  
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.  
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.
