Gotta kenwood kr820. Set on radio station, have to turn it all the way up n barely hear it. When in between stations, volume works very well. Any suggestions

To use the radio function on your Nelsonic Clock Radio model NLC 608A, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure the clock radio is plugged into an electrical outlet and turned on.
2. Press the "Radio" button to turn on the radio function. The display should show the current radio frequency.
3. Use the "Tune +" and "Tune -" buttons to tune to the desired radio station. You can also hold down these buttons to automatically scan through the available stations.
4. Adjust the volume using the "Volume +" and "Volume -" buttons.
5. To switch between AM and FM radio, press the "Band" button.
6. If you want to save a radio station as a preset, tune to the desired station and then press and hold one of the numbered preset buttons (1-10) until you hear a beep. You can then access the saved station by pressing the corresponding preset button.
7. To turn off the radio, press the "Radio" button again or simply turn off the clock radio.

I hope this helps!

May have fuse blown, check fuses. Antenna may be disconnected.
Radio wiring may have come loose on back of stereo. Check all.

1 try to check the volume button is not fouled.
2 try to do reset by the manufacturer. (With station stopped ,pressing the two buttons on the side station . Starts station for 2 sec. Releases the side buttons.
3 try to do the firmware update.

If the radio was on when you jump started car you may have overloaded display, and the radio as a whole may have suffered. You may need to replace the radio. Sorry can't be more help.

Turn on the desired radio station, press and hold the '1' button till you hear a beep. Now this station is programmed on this button, till you remove the +12V Memory wire from the device. On kenwood devices it is the yellow wire on the main connector.

GOTTA GET A NEW(OR USED RADIO FROM JUNK YARD)THE ONE YOU HAVE IS HALF WAY OUT!!!

Hello george_nutti,

The model number you posted is for a center channel speaker which has no controls, and not knowing the exact model number it's difficult to be specific.

Some Kenwood KDC models allow you to select one of 3 "tuning modes", 1) AUTO1 - Automatic search for stations; 2) AUTO2 - Search Preset stations; 3) MANUAL - Normal manual tuning control. If your Kenwood is one of these models, you need to set the tuning mode to MANUAL. For Kenwood Excelon HD receivers, direct access tuning is done by using the included remote. 1) Press DIRECT button on the remote; 2) Press number buttons to enter desired channel number; 3) Press DIRECT button again to exit direct tuning.

Hope this helps.

have you adjusted your sound settings while in listening to the radio mode?
