What is MP3/WMA?MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) and WMA (Windows 
Media™ Audio) are the compression formats of 
digital audio. The former is developed by MPEG 
(Motion Picture Experts Group), and the latter is 
developed by Microsoft Corporation. Using these 
compression formats, you can record the contents 
of about 10 music CDs on a single CD media. (This 
fi gures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R 
or CD-RW at a fi xed bit rate of 128 kbps and a 
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Note:
≥ MP3/WMA encoding and writing software is not 
supplied with this unit.
≥ CD writing software is not supplied with this unit.Points to Remember 
When Making MP3/WMA FilesCommon:
≥ High bit rate and high sampling frequency are 
recommended for high quality sounds.
≥ Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not 
recommended because playing time is not 
displayed properly and sound may be skipped.
≥ The playback sound quality differs depending on 
the encoding circumstances. For details, refer to 
the user manual of your own encoding software 
and writing software.
MP3:
≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “128 kbps 
or more” and “fi xed”.
WMA:
≥ It is recommended to set the bit rate to “64 kbps 
or more” and “fi xed”.
≥ Do not set the copy protect attribute on the WMA 
fi le to enable this unit to playback.MP3/WMA Player 
(continued)
Notes on MP3/WMACaution:
≥ Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” fi le 
name extension to a fi le that is not in the 
MP3/WMA format. This may not only produce 
noise from the speaker damage, but also 
damage your hearing.
CQ-C5210U/CQ-C5110U cannot play MP3/WMA fi les.

Copyright:
It is prohibited by copyright laws to copy, distribute 
and deliver copyrighted materials such as music 
without the approval of copyright holder except 
enjoying yourself personally.Recording MP3/WMA Files 
on a CD-Media≥ You are recommended to minimize the chances 
of making a disc that contains both CD-DA fi les 
and MP3/WMA fi les.
≥ If CD-DA fi les are on the same disc as MP3 
or WMA fi les, the songs may not play in the 
intended order, or some songs may not play at 
all. 
≥ When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the 
same disc, use different folders for each data. 
≥ Do not record fi les other than MP3/WMA fi les and 
unnecessary folder on a disc.
≥ The name of MP3/WMA fi le should be added by 
rules as shown in the following descriptions and 
also comply with the rules of each fi le system.
≥ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA 
fi les or displaying the information of MP3/WMA 
fi les recorded with certain writing software or CD 
recorders.
≥ The fi le extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be 
assigned to each fi le depending on the fi le format.
≥ This unit does not have the play list function.
≥ Although Multi-session recording is supported, 
the use of Disc-at-Once is recommended.
Supported fi le systems:
ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO 
9660, Joliet, Romeo
Note:
≥ Apple HFS, UDF 1.50, Mix CD, CD Extra are not 
supported.
Folder Selection Order/File 
Playback Order Maximum number of fi les/folders:
≥ Maximum number of fi les: 999 
≥ Maximum number of fi les in one folder: 255
≥ Maximum depth of trees: 8
≥ Maximum number of folders: 
255 (Root folder is included.)
Note:
≥ This unit counts the number of folders irrespective 
of the presence or absence of MP3/WMA fi le. 
≥ If the selected folder does not contain any 
MP3/WMA fi les, the nearest MP3/WMA fi les in 
the order of playback will be played.
≥ Playback order may be different from other 
MP3/WMA players even if the same disc is used.
≥ “ROOT” appears when displaying the root folder 
name.1

Preliminary StepsCheck and take steps as described in the tables below.If You Suspect Something WrongImmediately switch the power off.
Disconnect the power connector and check that there is 
neither smoke nor heat from the unit before asking for 
repairs. Never try to repair the unit by yourself because it 
is dangerous to do so.Caution:
≥ Do not use the unit if it malfunctions or if 
there is something wrong.
≥ Do not use the unit in abnormal condition, 
for example, without sound, or with smoke 
or foul smell, which can cause ignition or 
electric shock. Immediately stop using it and 
call the store where you purchased it.Troubleshooting Tips CommonNo power to the unit 
The power cord (battery, ACC and 
ground) is connected in the wrong 
way.Check the wiring.
Fuse blow out.Eliminate the cause of fuse blow out 
and replace the fuse with new one. 
Consult your dealer.
Problem
Possible cause Possible solution
Noise
There is an electromagnetic-wave 
generator such as a cellular phone 
near the unit or its electrical lines.Keep an electromagnetic-wave 
generator such as a cellular phone 
away from the unit and the wiring of 
the unit. In case the noise cannot be 
eliminated due to the wiring harness 
of the car, consult your dealer.
The contact of the ground lead is 
poor.Make sure that the ground lead is 
connected to an unpainted part of the 
chassis securely.
Problem
Possible cause Possible solution
Noise is made in 
step with engine 
revolutions.
Alternator noise comes from the 
car.Change the wiring position of the 
ground lead.
No sound from 
speaker (s)
Balance/fader setting is not 
appropriate.Readjust balance/fader.
There is a break, a short circuit, 
poor contact or wrong wiring 
regarding the speaker wiring.Check the speaker wiring.Some speakers are out of order.Replace the speaker with new one.
The speaker channels 
are reversed between 
right and left.
The speaker wiring is confused 
between right and left.Perform the speaker wiring in 
accordance with the wiring diagram.
Poor reception or 
noise
Antenna installation or wiring of 
antenna cable is faulty.Check whether the antenna mounting 
position and its wiring are correct. 
In addition, check to see whether the 
antenna ground is securely connected 
to the chassis.
No power is supplied to the 
antenna amplifi er (when using a 
fi lm  antenna,  etc.).Check the wiring of the antenna battery 
lead.
The number of auto 
preset stations are 
less than 6.
The number of receivable stations 
are less than 6.Move to an area where receivable 
stations number is maximum, and try 
presetting.
Preset stations cannot 
be stored.
The contact of the battery lead is 
poor, or the battery lead is not 
always powered.Make sure that the battery lead is 
connected securely, and preset 
stations again.
Mount a noise fi lter on the power supply.
 Radio
Sound is not 
generated.
MUTE is set to ON.Set MUTE to OFF.The wiring of the speaker lines 
are not correct, or a break or poor 
contact arises.Check the wiring in accordance with 
the wiring diagram.
The demonstration 
screen displayed and 
no operable.
You cannot operate the unit while 
the demonstration screen appears.Press [DISP] (display) to end the 
demonstration screen.If the demonstration screen appears 
frequently, there is a possibility that 
poor contact or wrong wiring arises 
between the battery lead of the unit 
and the battery cable of the car. 
(The battery lead should be always 
powered.)
Check the battery wiring in accordance 
with the wiring diagram.
Some operations are 
not executable.
Some operations are not 
executable in particular modes 
such as menu mode.Read the operating instructions 
carefully and cancel the mode. In case 
the unit is still out of order, consult 
the dealer.
The Power fails 
unintentionally

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs≥ You may have trouble playing back some 
CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders 
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their recording 
characteristics or dirt,  ngerprints, scratches, etc. 
on the disc surface.
≥ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high 
temperatures and high humidity than ordinary 
music CDs. Leaving them inside a car for 
extended periods may damage them and make 
playback impossible.
≥ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back 
successfully thanks to incompatibility among 
writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) 
and the discs.
≥ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the 
session is not closed.
≥ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which 
contains other than CD-DA (or MP3/WMA data
                                          ).
≥ Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW 
disc for handling it.
