issue with aux imput
both my ipod classic and iphone 3gs stop playing music when i plug them into a power source. they will play music and everything is fine till i plug them into a power cord, then the "AUX" on radio disappears and will not come back till i unplug it from the power chord.

anyone else have this problem?

Mine does this as well. If I plug it into a power source first, then plug in the AUX cable it works fine.
