Cannot assess my aux input on kdc 135cr - Kenwood KDC-135 CD Player

get a new cable or check aux input connection

Hi David,

A decent info page for this radio and options is at Crutchfiled. They seems to provide good / very good information on all the products they sell. Service and pricing is up to you. To use Aux inputs, you need to purchase and connect the optional Aux Input Adapter (picture below).




Crutchfield sells these for about $20, and they plug into the jack on the rear of the radio. The jacks on the cables attached to the radio are preamp outputs - not inputs; and will not work as an input.

Here's a link to the manual (free download). Good luck!

Its going to be in the rear of the radio RED/WHITE RCA should say aux input. you will need a RCA to 3.5mini cable

• Selecting the (SRC) button to "AUH" which is the auxiliary input.
• If this does not work.
• Then set the unit to standby mode. By pressing the (SRC) button until "STBY" is displayed. You need to check that "On AUH" is enabled. Now try the "AUH" again.

you have to go into the radio menu and turn off the cd changer port, keep scrolling auntil you find the aux input turn it on
and the audio input will woork
good luck

You need to go into the menu and actually switch the aux to on. If you have your owners manual it will tell you how to turn it on. It is under the menu option "built in auxiliary input setting" If you do not have the manual i have a link to it for you. Hope this helps.

The red and white RCA terminals on the back of the unit are generally outputs for amplifiers. To use AUX the unit will need to have a 3.5mm jack in the front or rear. If not than the unit does not have AUX input capabilities.

you have to activ ate the aux port form the menu, on standby hold the menu button and then use the control knob on the right to change the aux to on1

here is some thing that will help u out. AUX Input: The KDC-MP2035 is equipped with a front panel 3.5mm minijack auxiliary input for connecting external portable audio devices such as an MP3 player or Tape walkman. The receiver allows you to select between the following AUX settings.

• Off: the source button does not scroll through the AUX input when function is turned "off"
• Aux 1: turns on the AUX input for use
• Aux 2: turns on the AUX input in the attenuator mode - press the attenuator button to activate sound. pleas let me no if i can help any more and dont be afraidto rate me i dont bite lol just kidding

Try putting the unit in standby via the "SRC" button FIRST..., then press the menu button and cycle through to the "AUX 1" option and activate this....then press menu button again. When the unit is next switched on, you should have an "AUX" option accessible via the "SRC" button which will cycle through all of the availale modes ....standby-tuner-cd-aux etc etc.
