I have a Kenwood VR-207 receiver that was pretty much given to me. The remote is WHACKO and I can NOT find the manual online ANYWHERE!!!

My remote only works if the receiver has been off for a few hours after which I can only use the remote for about 3 or 4 button clicks worth and then it stops working. Is Kenwood just challenged in this area or what??? Maybe they were just NEW to remotes in 1998 (or so) **sarcasm off**...
