Mike is right. You can plug the CD player into ANY other input jack that the receiver has to offer other than a phono jack. The CD player just puts out WAY too much signal and is overloading the receiver's phono section.

If you don't have any other inputs available, you'll either have to manually disconnect either the tuner or cassette's inputs and swap the CD player's cable's into that jack. You could continue to do this until you get tired of it or go to Radio Shack and pick up a switchbox.

You would have to hook up the switchbox into the tuner jacks and then connect the tuner and CD to the switchbox. Once the receiver was put into the tuner mode, you would simply switch between the tuner or CD player from the external switchbox as you desire.

There is another solution. You could upgrade to a receiver that has more inputs : ) Sean
