Jvc kd-g400 i kind of know how to fix my radio just need some one to help me, its regarding the fact that my radio can't tune to local stations it only works in odds. i have taken all other methods but the thing im looking vor is that you press 2,3 or 4 buttons just don't know wich ones or for how long, if you don't know then don't bother I KNOW IETS A 3 OR 4 BUTTON PRESS !!!!

1. Tune to the station you want to set the preset to.
2. Short-press the "menu" button.
3. Using dial, select the preset you want to set it to.
4. Long-press the dial to store the preset.

The only thing I could find in the manual that might possibly solve this problem, is a "reset".

From the manual:

Press the reset button on the
panel holder. (The clock setting
and preset stations stored in
memory are erased.) (See page
2.)

You can get a copy of the manual here. I hope this helps and good luck. Please rate my reply - thanks.

the source switch may be bad. does it have a solid click when you press it?

Hi, read instructions online for other JVC models as they have the same silly auto tuning function. Page 8 on this link. http://www.jvc.co.nz/assets/pdf-manual/KD-R406.pdf

http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/00/95/GET0189-001A.pdf This is the manual for your unit. Hope this helps

Thats USA tuning, you can only get those odd stations on that deck.

standard problem would be antenna issue. Make positive that the connection in the rear of the unit has a connection. If it does, take it out, slip a single, small wire in the back of the smaller hole [typically 1 ft long]. Although this results in an impedance ,ismatch, it will allow you to see if the antenna is at fault. With the wire in the hole, scan through the channels. Fixed? Antenna issues. Not fixed? You have an electronic circuitry or setup problem. Try the 'local' and 'mono' switch with the real antenna still connected. Still no reception?

This becomes an electronic issue at this point which stems at the following concerns:
impedance circuitry [usually small, diode at output]
PLL IC faulty or no V

- The 0.2MHz odd steps are standard for US radios. Try resetting the radio (recessed button under the front panel) If this a US radio then this may not help. If you have lost the manual then go here:- http://books.jvcservice.com/booklist.asp?Model=KD-G400 Come back and say if this helped or not, I could dig a bit deeper.. -

Try this: "Hold FM/AM and Press #5". This solution is for a different model JVC stereo, but hopefully it will work for yours as well.

I'd go to their website and download the owners manual and see if that tells you how to do it. Good luck.
