Faceplate malfunctioning and scanning repeatedly

Hi,

Please hold down the power button until the radio turns on or off (maybe 30 seconds). If this does not work, you can attempt a factory reset if the appropriate buttons are available. Otherwise, you might need to remove the radio from the car (if possible) and take the radio to the nearest Geeksquad/bestbuy for repair.

Thank you.

It needs to go back for service and repair. There is a board behind the buttons

Try this...it is for the 2000 series but should work for all KDCs:

Hold the "Menu" button for about one second to enter the Kenwood's menu. This button is located on the right side of the faceplate.

Push "AM" or "FM" until the Kenwood's screen shows "Clk Adjust."

Hold the "Right Seek" button for about two seconds. The clock will start to blink. It's now ready to be set.

Push the "AM" button repeatedly to increase the hour. If you want to decrease the hour, push the "FM" button.

Push the "Right Seek" button to increase the minute. Push the "Left Seek" button to decrease the minute. Push "Menu" to set the time.

The instructions for FV300 are a little incomplete. When scanning the Z symbol is already showing. You must press the menu button 6 times until the Z shows up again. In the lower left of the screen you'll see ON. Now push the + or - key and you'll see OFF in the lower left of the screen. If you delay too long scanning will start again and then you must repeat the above steps.

wipe the connection where the face connects at i had the same problem and it works fine after cleaning the connection and i will guess the power light itself is still lights up and no other button lights or the screen itself if that is correct then u most likely just have moisture in the connections try wiping it with a dry soft cloth

your player is in the "intro mode" , to change this follow these steps.

1. play a song and while the song is playing
2. press the menu/mode button and then with repeat highlighted,
3. press the menu/mode button again to enter the repeat settings sub-menu
4. press the right/left keys to change and highlight the repeat setting from "intro" to the mode of your choice like "repeat all"
5. press the menu/mode key to save your setting...

Since this is a free answer,please take the time to rate my response,thanks.

check the gold contacts on the back of the face and the unit also check the release mechanism theres a little black button (not the reset) that when face is pressed up against it it activates power to the gold contacts thus powering the buttons

before you press scan flip through the menu and turn of all tones to call

Hmmmm maybe your keypad is broke or your radio is locked

This recently happened to my Sony, maybe it will help u

If this cd player has a removal fascia then try..

Carefully inspect the the electrical contacts on the fasica and the cd player. If it has got dirt on them then CAREFULLY CAREFULLY clean with cotton swab dabbed in cleaning Alcohol.
