Some RCA sockets have a built-in Switch that is activated by plugging in
the RCA connector.
Or your RCA cables are shortted and killing the signal to the rear speakers.
It sounds more like you are plugging into a pair of switching OUTPUT rca
connectors.
What is at the other end of you plug-in RCA connectored cables ?
Speakers, or another Signal source ?

watt amp and when i plug into back of cd player rear speakers shut off!
