yeah, ummm, it is pine-needle burning season here... and I live near a lake.... perfect for the viking style send-off! LOL

Okay, thanks again for your thoughts - I will pass them on to the electronically oriented holiday visitors...

Okay, thanks for trying to help, but I think you all forgot that the CD player is the kind that lives under the passenger seat. It is not connected to the stereo in the dash. The stereo HAS POWER. It runs - just cannot sustain any memory functions - which is ragingly annoying to say the least. Perhaps you are right, the stereo is dying....? As for the CD player..... must I hold a double funeral? Perhaps they were both programmed to self-destruct on the same day at the same time. [pout]. PS: sorry it took me so long to get back here, I was having server trouble.

Hello! I am new here so bear with me please.... About a week ago the memory in my stereo (clock and station memory) failed, along with power in my 6-CD player which lives under the passenger seat. The fuses are intact. The radio has power; but, everytime I shut the engine off it loses all memory. The CD player acts as if it has no power, but my mechanic says there is power going right up to the box - he couldn't find a fuse at the player. The mystery is that these 2 events happened the exact same time. This is a 97 Subaru Outback wagon, 4 cyl. The stereo & CD-player are original "Subaru", not after-market. A call to the service dept. was completely unhelpful. Appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks!
