Why does my kenwood kdc-210u have no sound works but nothin comes out?

SOURCE: In my 1995 Chevy Lumina

check if you're getting power to the red and the yellow, it may be that you are only getting a permanent live but no switched live and if so you will need join the red and yellow on the radio side together using the connectors on the loom so you will have one permanent live leading into two (red and yellow) wires into the radio. clear as mud, good luck

SOURCE: No sound on cd, (kenwood kdc-x469)

did you try another cd maybe your player needs a little cleaning and is your cd new or older

reason i ask is cause newer cd's have a different format then older cd's from a year ago its getting hard to play new stuff on old stuff

Hi there JT,

An Amp makes existing sound louder. If you aren't getting sound now, there's a problem.

From your description, it sounds like your stereo is going through all the motions, it looks and acts like it is functioning. Just no sound.

If that is wrong, let me know.

When you turn it on, do you hear anything from the speakers? White noise, a click, anything, any indication that they are hooked to any kind of power supply?

Let's do the basics (easiest) first:

• Mute is off
• Balance and Fader centered
• Volume up
• CD in and playing

• I need you to access the back of the stereo. (Sorry)
• Yellow and red are power. Black is ground. The unit works so these are ok. Blue is to turn on a remote device like an amp. There may be an orange, ignore.
  
• There are four sets of wire for the speakers. Colors are White, Gray, Purple and Green. One of each set is solid colored, the other has a stripe.
  
• White and gray are front
• Purple and green are back. Same page?
• These are what your speakers should be hooked to. One set for each speaker. Are they?
  
• Eyeball the connects, look for shorts, disconnects, etc.
• Get a speaker and test it right there behind the stereo on one set after another. Anything? If so, you have a problem in the wiring not the stereo

Make sure that the source is set to "Standby" when trying to access the menu. It took me about an hour to figure it out and afterward I felt like a ******.
