I can hold down the MENU button until the cows get blue in the face, but Demo never appears on the display. Rotating the volume knob takes me through a large array of settings but none are Demo. KW-R800BT. Demo mode is too distracting to run the radio at night with all of the colors flashing. If I can't find a way to change it out of demo, I'm going to replace the radio. Any oddities with this model radio? The instructions in the manual do not work!

    I installed this new out of the box 5 years ago, into a vehicle that has always been a spare. I have never been able to get the unit out of demo mode. No combination of buttons puts the unit into a menu as described in the manual (ppg 23-25). And the demo cancel instructions on page 4 simply do not work. I've even done a hard reset to go back to factory specs, no change in symptoms.

To turn off the demo you need to press the src button to put it in standby mode. Then press the menu button as if to change the settings and use the joystick to scroll right until you see demo, then turn it to off....

Do as above to allow you to enter AUX mode this will let you plug in your MP3 player to the input on the face and hear music through it ;)


hope this helps you

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.

SOURCE: stuck in demo

I had the same issue and was about to give up.
cleaning, key combos and such didn't work out.

Solved the dirty way, as described some comments above:

"Just took the faceplate from the "push-menu" button and hit it against a hard surface [not too hard but not too soft hits] and thats it, it worked again."

ah, the good manners!

How do i get my jvc kd-r210 out of demo mode?

Press and hold the volume knob until it changes to a menu setup, by pressing the knob again once it should cycle to another option, keep pressing the knob until you get to DEMO. when you get to DEMO turn the knob as if you were turning the volume up or down and it should say DEMO OFF. there are many useful options in this menu, like sub control for low pass filtering, display options, turning the beep noise off/on, loud off/on, clock settings, and a few more

How do i permanently keep demo mode off on my JVC car cd player? Everytime I remove the fascia it resets the settings and the demo mode comes back on. The model I have is the KD-R711. Thanks

Hold down the menu button for about 2 seconds.
Will take you to menu mode, first option should be demo, if not scroll over to demo menu
by using the know. Push the knob in to enter the mode, then using the knob get to off display, push the know in once again to set it to off. After hit the menu button to get out of menu mode.

Can we stop it from changing color

Hello bd1340,

The JVC KD-SC500 ships with the color selection set to "ALL DEMO" which alternates the colors approximately every 6 seconds.

To cancel the "ALL DEMO" and select a single color display, go into PSM mode by pressing and holding the SEL Button until the display changes. Use the left/right rocker until COLOR is displayed. Turn the VOLUME knob to select the color you want: Blue, Ocean, Purple, Pink, Rose, or Red. Press the SEL button again to exit PSM mode.

Hope this helps.
