Default cd player problems

Hello all. Hopefully, someone can give me some insight on the following problem(s).
Sometimes when I listen to a CD and turn the car off after turning the car back on, whether it's been a few minutes, hours or the next day, the CD player either shuts down totally (no power for the radio or the CD player) or after turning the car back on, the CD player will switch to the radio.
This behavior is inconsistent with what should happen. No matter what device I have on when I turn the car off the CD player/radio should come back on when the car is turned back on.
If I have the CD player on and turn the car off, when I turn the car back on, it should return to the CD player which sometimes if doesn't. That happens with the radio also.
If anyone have/had one or all of the above problems, please give me some info on what is going on and/or what to do. Thanks in advance.

How good is the battery?

Any other symptoms like, memory loss of stored radio stations. If so voltage at the head unit is falling below min.

Salimshah. Thanks for your reply. But could you explain what you meant about "headunit"?
