These should be the colors of the power wires that you need to hook up that come out of your CD changer.
Memory / Constant 12V(+) Yellow
Switch / Accessory Red
Ground Black
Amp Remote Blue/White

This is the wire diagram for your car:  https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/detail.asp?info=alarm&year=1996&make=Honda&model=Civic&ID=17972&type=Stereo What you have to do is tap into the wires in the diagram which are connected to your head unit(radio).This is how you will supply all the power to the CD changer 
Note:  you will not have a remote connection on the stock head unit. You must wire the Switch/accessory (red) and the Remote wire (blue ) together. If you do not do so the changer will not turn on.
