My kenwood will work fine until I turn the volume up. Then it shuts off completely and then turns back on again..This continues on again and off again. I have checked ground wires, loose wires, connections, disconnected amp., checked fuses, still same thing happens with or without the amp connected or with or without the speakers connected. The CD player is installed in a boat with a 400 watt amp and blaupunkt speakers. I've noticed the stereo gets hot to the touch towards the top in the back. Any suggestion?
I have a Kenwood KDC-X692 with new Kenwood speakers, no amp. When I turn the volume up to 25 the radio shuts off, turns back on and I don't understand why? My speakers aren't bolted completely down and they are saying that is why. I've never heard of such a thing. Could this be the reason? Or why would this happen? Thanks
When I took it in they said the wires were connected incorrectly and stated "they" said they reconnected them correctly, but I wonder since I didn't pay them to hook them up. I had gone in thinking it was the radio. I'll look into that. They say it's because I haven't bolted the speakers down real good yet and that could be causing it when I turn up the volume which makes no sense to me. I really appreciate your response.

I went in because mine was doing the same thing. But my front wires were connected to the rear. & the rear to the front. Instead of them admitting the mistake. they said I had a bad radio & to send it back 2 Kenwood. IDK if the wirin had something to do with the radio working, though.

Have you checked your speaker wiring as it could be you have some wires crossed ie: negative feeding the positive side causing the shut down & check the Ohms if at high volume you are trying to drag to many Ohms it will also cause the built in amp to shut down to protect the system dont keep incresing the volume as the strain will do damage
1. If your Samsung Galaxy S II is frozen, Shut the POWER OFF, take the battery out and put it back again.
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Briefly Press and release the Power button
4. A menu will then appears that let you allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Quickly Press and release the Power button
7. Select Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If the above procedures doesn't work. try this another method:
1. Turn the POWER OFF, pull the battery out and put it back again.
2. Simultaneously press the Volume Up, Home and Power button
3. If the Samsung Symbol appears, release the Power button
4. A Boot Menu will then show, Use the volume up/down to choose and home to select.
You may have to reset it. let if charge for about 24hrs, 10hrs may work fine too and With the device turned off, press and hold the volume down button, and then briefly press the power button. - Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the volume down button. - Press volume down to select clear storage, and then press power. - Press volume up to start the factory reset.
My electronics savvy source says you may be overdriving the amplifier in your Kenwood stereo to an impedance-mismatched set of speakers, meaning that the speakers are impedance mis-matched to the Kenwood stereo, and therefore operate ok (but inefficiently) at low volume, but cut off completely at higher volume. Fix: match the impedance of your speaker network to the specs on your Kenwood car stereo. Once this is done, you should be able to crank up the volume to the point of permanent hearing loss. SAFETY CAUTION - sound levels above 85 decibels produce NIHL (noise-induced hearing loss). http://www.dangerousdecibels.org/education/information-center/faq/
make sure it's well ventilated. If there's no air flow, then there is no way of cooling down and to protect itself it will shut off. Make sure the speakers are wired correctly as per amp specs. too many subs or subs connected improperly can draw too much current and shut the amp off, but you will notice this when you turn up the volume to a certain point and the amp shuts down.
hello ,i strongly suspect the units protect circuit is sensing a speaker problem.Listen to each speaker to see if all the drivers(woofer,midrange,tweeter) are working and if so are any of them sounding distorted.When an amp is damaged it wont play at all,sounds like a bad speaker to me.
I would try and clean your switches and controls before giving up on the receiver. use de-ox-id contact cleaner on the volume control and switches. Larry's Electronics
To zyclon3, I've got a KR-V6030 that the volume knob some how got broke and had to take the receiver apart and get the knob out and play with it with the remote untill I got control. but I have to becareful cause it will go full blast if I'm not carefull going down in volume have to be especialy carefull since theres no stop.
You may have a short in a speaker. Check to see that the wire terminals on the speaker itself aren't touching any metal. Even 1 terminal touching metal will cause issues. Hope this helps.
I had this same exact problem when my last older Kenwood Marine stereo cooked itself while I had it up loud for a few weekends on the lake. (smelled like it had burned inside). I went out and bought a new Kenwood KMR-550u stereo deck. (I do not have an additional amp). I hooked it up to the exact connections where my older Kenwood stereo unit had been hooked up, as I never had a problem with this for the past three years until it failed after smelling of burning elelectrical. I had chalked the problem up to heavy rain we had one day. Every time I turned up the volume, sometimes up to 27 out of 35 possible, or 29, or 32, the stereo would suddenly shut off as if I had turned it off. After a few seconds the stereo would come back on, but unless I was quick enough to turn down the volume it would do it again right away. Of course on a boat, we were beached in a cove and the engine was not running when I encountered this. I searched the internet finding hundreds of similar complaints and several dozen theories of all types, but only a couple that pointed me towards the power (voltage) idea as the problem. I put a volt meter on the positive & negative wires powering the stereo. I watched as I gradually turned up the volume, the voltage on the power wire gradually decreased from 12.5 volts, down into the 11 range, and as it hit 10.9 or 10.8 volts it shut off typically around a volume of 32. The red power wire in my boat that never seemed to have an issue with my old stereo until it fried was determined to actually be inadequate for the power flow for the new Kenwood, and probably was the culprit of my failed older unit. I offer this sound advice: Run a new pair of positive & negative wires directly from the battery (with an appropriate fuse of course (the deck has a 10 amp fuse in it's back so I would use that at the battery) to the stereo. Check the voltage as you turn the volume up into the high 20's and low 30's to ensure you are still getting voltage in the mid to high 11-12 volt range. The stereo is designed to require a minimum of 10.8 volts to operate, and when it drops below that it protects itself and shuts down.
