I'm guessing it's a flaw from the factory and it probably never worked. Model number 2320.

You may have a unit that was returned to a local store for the problem you mentioned, although if you say the unit appears never to have been used, I'm not sure. As you said, it could be a design flaw; however, I am at a complete loss to even hazard a guess as to why the CD player doesn't work. If possible, return the unit to the store from which you purchased it and request a refund. These combo units are very cheaply made and do not last very long, certainly not beyond the manufacturer's warranty period.
