question on indash dvd player
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?

something is telling me the dvd player has an electrical issue. It's not the connectivity, it's a defect in the unit.
My current alpine deck is running without the antenna properly hooked up to it. It works fine, but my AM/FM signal sucks.

Just I cant hear any audio coming from the speakers.
I was planning on connecting the radio to a car battery just to see if it turns off again..plus I was able to insert the DVD Troy in it and now it wont eject.
powers off to soon.
