sony headunit troubleshooting
just got a sony CDX-GT300 (cheapo) headunit for xmas and installed it. the issue i'm having is when it's on tuner mode the audio is fine, but when i put in a CD i get audio only from the front left speaker. i double checked my wiring and such and i can't see a reason for 3 of 4 speakers shutting off in CD mode.
can anyone shed some light on this? is there an odd setting that i'm missing?
sounds like a problem with the headunit, not install.
its a sony! sorry dawg that truth

buy a new cd player.

finally got around to messing with it. i was overly sure i had the wiring right and sure enough it was install error. i mixed up the antenna remote for the amp remote and when i'd switch to CD it was killing the power to the factory amp.
and thats why i was asking what car the radio was in

a blown speaker can shut down a cd player just because the speaker plays doesnt mean that its fine, use a multi meter and check the ohm load of each speaker. Sony and JVC radio have a common issue with doing that more so then other companies.
