Need to find a remote to run the kenwood vr-510 receiver

For which remote exactly? Each manufacturer of programmable/ learning remotes has their own code base and unique numbers for each code.

Asking for a device code without stating the make and model of the remote is pretty pointless. It is like asking for the postcode/zip code of Acacia Avenue but without specifying the city and district.

The remote is an RC-R0812

eBay has a used one for under $20 right now.

Hi,
Here are some remote codes for Kenwood Receivers.
The codes are as follows: One of them should work
0027, 0077, 0313, 0186, 0314, 0356

Here is a link to a web site that has universal codes for remotes.

Hope this helps,

i need you 4 digits for the kenwood vr 405

Kenwood receivers recently have a commonly known problem with its receiving IR diode within the receiver, to fix this you will have to re-solder the connection on the receiver panel within the faceplate of your kenwood receiver.

Instructions to fix it are at the following link if you are willing to open up your receiver and repair it. lots of people have reported this fix as successful so it is widely believed to be a design flaw in the VR line-up of receivers as it has occured in all the VR families so far.

good luck.

this worked on my kenwood vr-209.

The Kenwood VR-510 does indeed respond to IR remotes. I now use a Logitech Harmony H659 which is IR only.
Your issue is a problem with the VR-510, actualy the whole series had a problem with cold solder joints on an assembly behind the front panel. Fix that and fix the problem. It frustrated me for 5 yrs.
Go here for the fix:
This site has the fix well documented: http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~gurney_j/kenwoodrepair/.
All is working great now!
