Insulation. Either around the CD player or around the AC duct. Or
both.
If you can't do that, then either don't play CDs in the summer or
block off the AC ducts leading to the vents over the CD player.
You might also want to check and be sure that the duct to the center
outlets is still connected at both ends and isn't blowing cold air on
the player.
