20 Most Recent Panasonic CQ-C1100U CD Player Questions & Answers

In order for this to work correctly you need:

1. Power wire (with fuse) from battery to amp (+)
2. Ground wire from amp to car chassis. (-)
3. remote-on lead from a 12V power source that turns on and off with the ignition if the head unit does not supply a wire. (switch)
4. RCA connection from head unit to the amp. (sound in)
5. Speaker wire connection from amp to speakers. (sound out)

It is easiest to start with deciding on the amp mounting location, and then running all the wires. Add an extra foot or so to each wire. You may discover in the process that you have to move things around due to unforeseen obstacles. This extra foot will help in that case. Always attach the ground wire to the chassis first and then to the amp first. Once you have the fused power wire from the battery installed; remove the fuse before trying to attach it to the amp. ONLY re-install the fuse once all connections to the amp are made, secure, have been checked twice and you're ready to test it.. This includes speakers. DO NOT for ANY reason have the amp powered up before attaching ALL speaker connections.

Follow the instructions on page 13 of the manual.

Make sure all your wires from the radio to the car are connected and check both the fuse on the radio and the one in the car. Is there anything else in the car that turned off?

Your wire connection is incorrect. Make sure that the yellow wire comming out of the radio connects to a yellow wire from the car and that the red one connects to a red one. Also make sure the radio is grounded properly.

Sounds like a bad connection. Check the harness by moving it around, you should be able to fins the problem pretty easily.

Hello capello,

Here's a link to the Camry color codes:

If you do not want to cut or tap into the vehicle wiring, you should buy an aftermarket adapter harness and splice the wires from it and from your Panasonic CQ-C1100U together.

The Scosche part number for your Camry is TA02RB. Wiring harnesses are also made by Metra and others. Here's a link to the Scosche part:

Hope this helps.

Hello,

If you dont have a cd inside the player, Then use a spare cd and cover it up with a thin,soft and clean cotton cloth and move it back and forth in the cd player.This problem occurs when the ejctors get dirty.Make sure the the player is in the OFF position when you do this.If you have a cd insde then you will need to eject it by force using a vey thin screw driver and prying the cd to make it eject.

Thankyou,

Hello,

Yes, the Panasonic CQ-C1100U can be connected to a 2-channel amp. It has a single set of preamp outputs. I'm attaching an image of the connection shown in the Panasonic user manual. The appropriate connection is the one without the dashed line. The dashed line showing a 2nd set of outputs only applies to the 1110, 1120, and 1200 models.

Hope this helps. If it does, please rate as "FixYa". Thanks!

my radio wont work all i hear is static on am @ fm . help

If you unplug the RCA's (Jack wires) and the noise goes away - your problem is induced noise. Eminating from a Engine Computer, bad amplifier or radio grounding point or close proximity to power wires in the vehicle. The only fix is to re-route the RCA wire.

If the problem persists when disconnecting the RCA's the problem is the ground loop filter (or lack thereof) in the amplifier or a bad grounding point.

Make sure your grounding point for the amplifier is bare metal (sanded off paint) and on the vehicle chassis - not a interior support bracket.

Troubleshooting noise in an audio system can be tedious.

You could start by adjusting the Treble and Bass. The treble is what makes the high notes more nodicable, so if you turn the Treble up you should be able to hear more vocals. The Bass is what makes the low notes more nodicable, so if you turn the bass down you should be able to stop the shaking which I'm guessing is the low notes. On the other hand if you have an aftermarket radio then there might be a Mute or ATT button. Theses are for instant quiet, just repress the Mute or ATT button and it should be fine. I hope I could help.

The rca plugs can short out. Or one of the comparator that is for audio selection. Might can get away with just replacing them

Hi Greg, I'd say you have a bad audio output IC, generally this will take out the fusable resistor that feeds the output stage, you should be able to find a part number on the IC, do a pin out and check between B+ and ground pins with it in circuit and see if you see a short. I don't know if you can find a service manual for it but hopefully you wouldn't need one

Question edited for clarity and typos. The first thing with CD Ejection issues is to try a CD Cleaning Disc. It has brushes to clean the laser optics. They always fail on the low power tracking laser. When it fails self test, it ejects. also First unplug power for at least an hour, then press and hold the power/on button while plugging back in, and keep holding for another 60 seconds . Here is the Service Manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/683358/Panasonic-Sa-Ak87.html https://www.google.com/search?q=panasonic+sa-ak87+cd+keeps+ejecting+disc ....

I'm sorry, but wiring diagrams for specific car audio systems are not readily available to the public. These diagrams are usually confidential and used by authorized repair technicians only. If you need assistance with the wiring of your Panasonic CQ-C1100U car audio system, I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer or an authorized repair service for support. They should be able to provide you with the information and guidance you need to properly install and wire your system. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and any relevant safety guidelines to avoid damage to the system or potential harm to yourself or others.
