How does power cord affect a digital frontend?

I think it does, but can anybody explain why and how?
I could guess how current demanding amp may be affected by weak power cord, but what about CDP?

I have an old old CD player. When it is playing interference shows up on my TV. If I put a couple of ferrite rings on the power cord the interference goes away.
