It seems the CD output is not getting to the receiver. Try using the stock (or another pair of) RCA cables. Sometimes these expensive connectors fall short just enough not to make contact. Also give another look at where the RCA’s are plugged into to confirm it’s CD (analog in) and not PCM... and the input selector agrees.
A long shot may be an an intput relay has failed. If the CD player has a digital out try testing it with the PCM input to the receiver.
