need help with stereo shorting

hello,
i have had a sony xplod cd player for a couple of months, but the other day i got an amp and all of a sudden my cd player keeps shorting out, then i reset and it will turn on but wont play cd's or raise antenna but radio will work about half the time, fuses never blow but after about 30 minutes it might play a cd for a minute or too then start skipping and then not work at all. I thought that it might be that so much electricity is following that it over-heats but what gets me is that the amp barely even gets warm and thats where all the power is at not in the cd player. even if it does over-heat wouldnt nothing work rather than radio just coming on with out raising antenna or anything.

if anyone has ever had this problem or know anything as to why it is happening please reply.
Thanks

you're problem - it's sony ........ learn to EXPECT problems. My first 4 CD players were sony (the first 4 models Sony made). You're lucky if the last a year before they start skipping uncontrollably.
