CD gives no sound in rear
Hi all,
I just bought a Sony CDX-GT300. When I am listening to the radio, all the speakers sound great. When I put in a CD, no sound comes out the back speakers. I am running the stock speakers in the car without any amps ( that I know of). I have gone through the manual and each setting, but nothing changes. Thanks in advance for any help. P |

Because it sounds like there may be a n amp on the rear speakers and the wrong remote wire is hooked to it. The sony has 2 remote wires. 1 for power antenna, that sends 12 volts trigger when the radio is on and turns off trigger when CD is turned on. It sounds like the power antenna trigger is hooked to an amp and when you turn the CD on it is turning off the amp |

I would NOT have thought of that!!! The FIRST thing that crossed my mind is that there may be separate fader settings for both CD and radio modes and that the CD settings have the fader turned up all the way to the fronts. Just a thought. MOSFET |

Hi all, thanks for the help figuring this out.
It is a loaded 90 4Runner. The power antenna works when the radio turns on, so I probably got that wire right. . .right? Thanks again P e-nigma wrote: "Matt Ion" wrote in message "I am running the stock speakers in the car without any amps (that I know of)."

Thanks again Sounds right... did you hook that same wire from the HU up to anything else? I suppose it's possible, IF there's a stock amp, it shares its trigger with the power-antenna wiring, and both are just expecting the deck to provide a normal amp-trigger signal (ie. always on with the deck, not just the radio). |

Some of those 4runners had a small amp behind the left (pass. side) rear panel. |

CD gives no sound in rear
Here is a question I posted about a year ago, Does this sound similar to
your problem. I solved the problem eventually. I just fitted a secondhand Sony head unit and multi disc CD in the boot of my car. Models XR-C4100 & CDX-605 Everything seems to work OK except the following strange problems When using the radio, everything about the front speakers works well, such as volume, bass, treble, balance. But, if I fade to the rear speakers there is almost no volume, and adjusting anything else makes no differance. When using the CD, the front speakers have almost no volume if the volume control is set to 1 or above and nothing else makes any differance. The rear speakers however, have no volume if set to 0, but full volume if set to 1 or above, and all other settings (bass, treble, balance) make no differance, it's either all or nothing. So - on the radio the front speakers work all normally, rear does not. On CD, front is almost nothing and rear is all or nothing for volume, nothing else for sound adjustment works. Any idears?

Yes the antenna goes up and down as it should.
Ivar, so how did you fix it - the suspense is killing me. Ivar wrote: Here is a question I posted about a year ago, Does this sound similar to your problem. I solved the problem eventually.
