hey guys.

I know I should post this in the audio forum but no one really responds to any msgs. there. Seems like the cool people are in the basement.

Heres my prob.
I finally got around to buying a replacement DVD player for my ride.
This unit has a built in FM/AM tuner which im not going to use. Im only intending on using the DVD/VCD/CD/MP3 blah blah.......

When I hooked up the unit I was able to power it up after about 5 seconds the player would cut off and in turn would also "disable " my amps.

So I was then able to slide out the player and disconnect the plug in the back. Once I did that all sound came back. If I connect the plug back into the DVD player and turn it on it cuts the audio again to my amps.

Now I was told that these newer model radios etc... need to have the antenna connected to it in order for it to operate. Is that true? Cause im already using a radio with a built in fm/am tuner and 7inch screen so i have the antenna hooked up to that.

Or is this dvd player a p.o.s?
