Just a note of thanks to those who have suggested the VR-507 fix and posted 'how-to' pictures online. I'm another satisfied customer that was about ready to spend a few hundred bucks (on a NON-KENWOOD) product just because the remote volume wouldn't work. I disassembled the unit (five minutes) and took it to a friend who can solder. Only a few days into it, but it works like new.
This works!!

I have a VR-410 and the problem is exactly what I have. But trying the fix posted in the picture I discovered that my receiver doesn't have the IR sensor....has the spot for it to clip into just no sensor there. So my questions are: 1. Should this receiver have come with the IR sensor in it 2. By soldering those 3 pads would it have my remote now work in RF also i find if I unplug the receiver the remote will work again

I would love a pic of this problem. There are plenty of people around to fix it that arent "kenwood authorized service centers". It shouldnt be a problem since kenwood doesnt thing there is a problem. Im babbling...thanks! Andy If you could I would like to see the picture too I'm having problems with my receiver also

I have a VR-509 and have the same problem with the RF remote. I sent an email to Kenwood about a year ago and was told to take my remote to a dealer and try it on another unit. I stumbled across this site when I was looking to buy a new remote. I'm going to try the solder fix and hope this works. Was surprised to see so many experiencing the same problem.
I will never buy another Kenwood product or recommend them to anyone. I just wonder how many other people own these receivers and know nothing about this forum. Apparently Kenwood is aware of this problem but just ignores it.

I have a Kenwood vr-405, exact same problem. I have beaten the daylights out of the remote, I was convinced it was the remote. I have taken apart the remote numerous times. After reading this thread, I bragged I was going tho fix the problem, in front of the family, walked up to the unit and tapped on the bezel, the remote works fine. Everyone was impressed, tomorrow I will be inside the the box to solder the pins as described. Amazing that Kenwood is hiding its head in the sand on this one. I will never buy from them again. This has been a problem for almost 2 years. Thanks. I will post my success after the fix.

Well I got inside the unit, found the cracked connections, at the IR reciever, did the solder job in about 5 minutes. Viola, complete success!!! I can't thank you all enough. It is totally cool, and somewhat unbelieveable, that the fix could be so easily shared via this forum. Next I am going to work on getting my other components to work off fewer remotes.

I took my VR509 apart Sunday and soldered the 3 pins. It seems to be working fine so far.

I fixed a friend's VR-507 this weekend with the help of this forum. I documented and took pictures of the repair and posted them on my blog, www.buscoblog.com. Thanks!

I too have been having the same problem as everyone else, with 2 Kenwood receivers. I've been putting off taking it into a shop to be repaired because I didn't want to unhook everything and then be without it for a while. But I called a place yesterday and they wanted $75 just to look at it. I'm so glad I found this forum and the fix, which I will be trying this weekend. I have a VR309, does anyone else have this model that's done the fix and that can give me any tips, or who might have a picture of the pins that need to be soldered?
Does the PC board actually have to be completely removed to do the soldering?
Regarding the person who said no solder was needed, just heat up the solder gun, do you think that's the best way to go for someone who has no soldering expierence?
Thanks :)

Thanks for the help, Ive struggled with the same remote issue for over a year on my VR-509. I removed the cover, metal bar and repaired the three connections in place. Kenwood should be ashamed of this flaw. Thanks.

I have a kenwood kr-v6010 that I am taking out of retirement for a little while. I have misplaced the remote long ago. I would like to purchase a universal remote to configure and use with this receiver. Does anyone have any idea what the codes are for this receiver and if I can manually add them to a universal remote?
Thanks! Could it be an internal thermal problem with the infra red board... when things get a hot - a short develops because of two connections or solder joints to close together???
