I have a kenwood kdc-322 receiver in my car. I bought the car used and have no manuals for it. I disconnected the car battery and when I hooked it back up the receiver display shows "All Off". I have tried about every button but cannot get any sounds out of the unit which was working fine prior to my disconnecting the battery. Can you help?? Mark

If you do not have the security code for the kenwood, you can disconnect the battery which should clear out the code (I would leave it off for at least 15 minutes), reconnect the battery and then follow the manual to enter the security code (Page 25) http://www.kenwoodusa.com/UserFiles/File/UnitedStates/Consumer/Manuals/kdcx993.pdf
Common Kenwood Security Codes Many Kenwood radios are configured with the same security codes:
KCAR - This seems to be a "backdoor" to some Kenwood models. 3051 - This is the security code which is printed in the manual of many Kenwood models. 1234 - This is a security code commonly chosen by Kenwood owners. Entering Your Kenwood Security Code If the car battery fails or is disconnected, the Kenwood will ask for the security code.
The
procedure to enter your security code differs on various models of
Kenwood car stereos. Here are three of the more common procedures:
Type 1 During
the code request mode, while holding the DISP key depressed, press and
hold the Volume UP or DOWN key for 3 seconds until the "..." display
disappears. Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote. Type 2 Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on the face of radio at the same time until the four dash lines disappear. Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote. Type 3: Model# DPX-4020 and DPX-4030 Press and hold the 1 then the 6 preset keys until the display shows the letter 'C'. Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote. Entering Letters on your Kenwood Remote To
enter a letter using your Kenwood remote, press a button once for the
first letter, twice for the second letter, and three times for the
third letter -- then press the Track Up or Next Track key to send the
letter.
To send the letter 'A', press the 2 key once and then
press the Track Up key. To send the letter 'B', press the 2 key twice
and then press the Track up key.
Finally, when you are done entering all of the letters, press and hold the Track Up button for 3 seconds.
The key sequence to enter the security code KCAR is:
5 5 Track Up 2 2 2 Track Up 2 Track Up 7 7 Track Up Your Kenwood should then enter tuner mode.
A Security Code Bug in some Kenwoods There
is a reported bug in the security code handling of some Kenwood
stereos. In models with thie bug, the security code is stored
incorrectly. The workaround is to enter the wrong security code.
In
models with this bug, you have to decrement the third character of the
security code by one. If your security code was 1111, you would enter
your security code as 1101. If your security code was 9999, you would
enter 9989.
