New member Username: DraddyPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-09 | Hey guys, I just bought a used old kenwood receiver, and it's working fantastic. Except, whenever I change a setting (such as the +/- volume on each speaker or the EQ settings) once you change inputs, or turn the receiver off, it defaults. so after I get everything the way I like it, and turn it off, everything resets. Any tips? is there a temporary memory battery that I don't know about (like in old desktop computers)? |

Remote settings are for temp adjustments. that is not a "disposable" unit. Mine has been pushing great sound for over 5 years now. You can actually find the manual for it on the Kenwood support site. |

Replace the battery for 2$ and you're good to go. BE CAREFUL digging into the unit. There are some hi-voltage areas which will render you room temperature. UNPLUG it and let it sit for an hour, 1st. Wouldn't be surprised that the owner sold it for just the problem you are having and might be able to fix for pennies. |
