JVC kd-s590 Just got a car with this player in it. The player works well, but for some reason the memory is not working. I can preset stations, but everytime I turn the car off, it erases them. This also happens with cd's: the player will restart a CD each time I turn the car back on, instead of starting to play it from whence it left off.

need to check the yellow constant power wire on wire harness to see

1. connected to battery with constant 12 volts
2. if wire has power 12 volts

if no power check fuses to see if blown

with out this wire working right you will never have pre set station on radio or clock
with correct time

you need to make sure the yellow wire is going to a constant power source.. the yellow wire controls the clock and preset setting memory.

Press and hold SEL (Select) and Adjust with volume up/down and move from hours to mins with next track/last track

HTH :)

Just found a manual at

looks like im close, but have no model to test with sorry

the battery probley shorted out your deck i think its time for a new one

Hello headbanger42,

First I'd check all of the wiring and connections. Make sure that there's no bare wires, no cut or frayed insulation and no wires contacting metal on the vehicle or other wires.

If everything is connected properly and there's no shorts, press the reset button on the panel holder using a ball-point pen after detaching the control panel. (The clock setting and preset stations stored in memory will be .)

If that does not work, there's most likely an internal fault and the receiver needs service.

Hope this helps.

Check to see if your constant(yellow) wire get a constant 12 to 14 volts. Goodluck.

I had the same problem on this stereo(disconnected the battery and then the cd wouldn't come out). Press and hold the "On/Att" power button and the "SEL" button at the same time for a few seconds. It will reset the unit and spit out the cd (but all your presets will be gone).
