Hey. Try this. If it doesn't work, let me know..
FUNCTION SW:A POWER SW:OFF Set the POWER SW ON while depressing the A=B key. Then release the A=B key. Or it might be this: Turn it off unplug it plug it back in WHILE holding the powerswitch or turn it off press on/standby WHILE holding the power switch Quoted: Shoulda come here first, been at kenwood site an hour...morons. I hava a kenwood surround sound model VR-407. It is controlled by a remote model RC-R0609. The remote quit working. The problem is not the receiver, (trust me). Under "troubleshooting", if the remote malfunctions, they say "reset the microprocessor." This is wonderful news, but nowhere do they tell you how to do it. I took the batteries out of it on the off chance that's how it's done. Am I right? (batteries still out). Thanks in advance... |

Quoted: I do own nvd, ya wanna 'splain??? Most remotes use an IR LED to transmit instructions to the controlled device. Looking through the NVD you should see a series of flashes when you press buttons on the remote. If you don't see the flashes you either have dead batteries or you have a bad remote. |

replace the batteries with new ones.
does the remote do ANYTHING? sometimes the contact on the button membrane wears out. There exists a kit to refurbish them (pricey) could be crap inside the remote... take apart if you can and clean the inside. try another remote to verify IR channel on Rx works. (try one of those multi unit/function tv remote controllers if you have one.) |

My Kenwood remote died on me a couple months ago. My system is 10 years old, I thought I was SOL.
I went to the Kenwood website [url]http://www.kenwoodusa.com/support/parts_dealers.jsp[/url] and found the best price at East Coast Transistor Parts Inc. It cost me $53 for a brand new remote delivered. |

Ok, here's what happened. Took out old batteries and installed new ones before I posted here. Went round and round. Finally put new batteries on a digital tester. 1 battery showed -3.62 volts...WTF?? Got 2 new batteries,
tested them ok. Installed, remote works fine. First time I've gotten a bad battery out of the box. ..... Oh, 1 of the old batteries also tested the same way. Anyhow, that's what happened. Thanks for all the responses/help guys. |
