Vauxhall Astra radio goes off when engine starts

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: design twin port
Model Year: 2004
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My radio and CD work fine until I turn the ignition on and start the engine. It then plays for a second or two, then it beeps and goes off. The speakers are still working (crackling).
When I open the door with the ignition off, the radio comes back on.
Any help would be great.
