Ok got the deck installed and everything and im running into a problem, if I switch the deck to CD I get no output from the internal amplifier, I have PWR-IC switched to ON in the setup and I get speaker output from the internal amp when the deck is in Tuner mode but no output when in CD, I know theres a signal comming from the deck because I can hear the bass comming from my sub when its on CD mode.
