is it new? what model is it? it sounds like the HU is fucked or the settings are messed up in some way or another. i suggest a call to the manufacturer or the store you got it from.

what it sounds like is pretty much what cdlong says. It MIGHT be ur settings but usually they dont make it complicated so ur settings should be the same for radio/cd/changer. Sounds more like a defect in the deck itself. Either the circuit board for the cd is messed up or the connection between ur cd reader -> RCA cables are bad. Return it and get a different one or upgrade

You're both wrong.

I'm assuming this car has the 'ACTIVE' speaker system, correct? If so, you've got the power antenna output lead tied to the OE amplifier remote wire. When listening to the radio, the OE amplifiers are powered up and working, when you insert a CD the antenna circuit drops (don't need the antenna up anymore) so the amps shut off.
Reconnect it so that the blue/white (antenna) is powering the antenna only, the solid blue needs to be conencted to your aftermarket amp's remote and the OE wire (light green/red in the rear speaker plug).
