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.  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.  
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.  
Damaged Disc  
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing  
a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.  
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.  
Maintenance  
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.

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, 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.

Irregular Shaped Discs  
Be sure to use round discs only for this unit and never use any

Use of anything but round discs may cause damage to the  
mechanism.  
On handling Compact Discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)  
Do not touch the surface.  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.  
Do not affix stickers or labels.  
Clean the disc when it is dusty.  
Make sure that there are no bumps around the disc.  
Do not use commercially available disc accessories.  
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.  
To customers using CD-R/CD-RW

About media that can be played  
Use only compact discs with the label side showing the CD logo

Correct Handling  
Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not  
leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or  
gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.

Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC  
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R, CD-RW using  
CD-R writing software or stored to a Flash Memory. 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.  
About MP3/WMA/AAC  
CAUTION  
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/  
WMA/AAC 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.  
Media supported  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and  
CD-RWs.  
This device also can play back Flash Memory media.  
What is MP3?  
Corresponding File Systems  
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.  
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.  
This device also supports FAT 12/16/32 for Flash Memory device.  
What is WMA?  
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,is compressed audio data.  
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.  
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.  
What is AAC?  
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding, and is a basic  
format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.  
Order of files  
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC 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.  
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC codecs.  
For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC files, refer to the user’s manual  
for that software.  
MP3/WMA/AAC files that are playable on this device have the file  
extensions “mp3”/“wma”/“m4a”. Files with no extension cannot be  
played back (WMA ver. 7 , 8 and 9 are supported). Protected files are not  
supported, neither are raw AAC files (using the “.aac” extension).  
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the  
software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above.  
It’s possible that the format may be unplayable even though the  
extension is valid.  
Root folder  
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

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.  
Rotary encoder  
/ENTER  
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.

T.Correction/X-Over Settings  
Farthest Speaker - listening position : 2.25 m (88-9/16")  
Front left speaker - listening position : 0.5 m (19-11/16")  
Calculation: L = 2.25 m - 0.5 m = 1.75 m (68-7/8")  
*
The stored Parametric EQ/T.Correction and X-Over settings are in the  
preset memory.  
Time correction = 1.75 ÷ 343 × 1000 = 5.1 (ms)  
*
Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20°C  
In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of  
5.1 ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same as the  
distance to the farthest speaker.  
Time correction eliminates the differences in the time required for the  
sound to reach the listening position.  
The time of the front left speaker is corrected by 5.1 ms so that its sound  
reaches the listening position at the same time as the sound of other  
speakers.

T.Correction/X-Over mode (e.g. Band), press any one of  
the preset buttons (1 through 6) that has your desired  
characteristic in memory to recall the stored settings.

About Time Correction  
1
Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and  
measure the distance (in meters) between your head and  
the various speakers.  
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely  
due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances  
from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and  
frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the  
sound reaching the listeners right versus the left ear.  
2
Calculate the difference between the distance correction  
value to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.  
To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers  
closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased  
distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal  
distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging. The  
adjustment will be made for each speaker in 3.4cm steps.  
L = (distance to farthest speaker) - (distance to other speakers)  
These values are the time correction values for the different  
speakers. Setting these values to make each sound reach the  
listening position at the same time as the sound of other  
speakers.

About the Crossover  
Crossover (X-Over):  
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the  
frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled  
independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the  
frequencies for which they have been optimally designed.  
The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of  
each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or  
lows).  
Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction  
characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive  
network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point,  
consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the lower  
frequencies to pass.  
Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.  
The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.  
Adjust the slope to Flat to bypass the HP or LP filters.  
Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as it  
may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency content.  
You cannot adjust the crossover frequency higher than the HPF or lower  
than the LPF.  
Press k VIEW.  
The display will change every time the button is pressed.  
Note  
When the Text Scroll is set to Manual (refer to “Scroll Setting (Text  
Scroll)” on page 27), press and hold k VIEW for at least 2 seconds,  
the current text will be scrolled one time (except Radio mode).  
Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover  
frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended  
crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range  
outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers.  
For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer to

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-HD149BT. 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-HD149BT to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the  
intended circuit of the CDE-HD149BT 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.  
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.  
The CDE-HD149BT 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.  
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, shift lever, brake  
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.  
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
