Tuner can be heard through other inputs

I have a little problem with a new integrated amp.

The amp sounds great overall, but I can hear the tuner coming through the unused inputs when I turn the volume up.
Simple you say, just turn the tuner off. The tuner in question is a Naim, and is designed to be left powered up all the time.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It is only coming from the tuner, not CD, or turntable.
It comes through the inputs next to tuner input, not the others, strange.

OK,
Just figured out that if there is a component plugged into each input either side, then no problem. As a test, If I only hook up a pair of interconnects with no component, then bleedthrough still exsists.

I think JEA48 hit on it by suggesting shorting plugs. That would simulate (to the integrated) a component being plugged in.
Jeffb your theory may be true as well. Naim does grounding is a bit different through DIN.

Problem solved.
Thanks Again

Well, I just have both inputs "occupied" on either side of tuner.
Evidently the unsed inputs pull in a radio signal.
