 Okay, my stereo is ancient , so that's that. I can faintly hear my CD on my other channels if it is playing and ?I haven't turned on the new source yet.
I am having other problems such as a really strong hum from my turntable in the a
aux channel which I also need to deal with, which is when I noticed this issue, but I will request help for the phono issue later.
Thanks.

 You may have multiple hookup issues. What make and model of equipment are you using? That will help. I don't know what is going on with your CD player, but a turntable cannot be plugged directly into an AUX input. A turntable requires a phono input with a ground connection to elimiate the hum. Are you using an external phono preamp or trying to do directly into the AUX ports?

 You might consider posting this to vintage. I had that problem with Dynaco PAS3 preamp, it was caused by leakage in the selector switch.

 A certain amount of "bleed" can be normal; my preamp is so sensitive that, if I don't reduce the output of the cD player, it bleeds on the other entrances. Once reduced for best sound and volume management, it doesn't bleed anymore...
