I have an older but still beloved Kenwood receiver, (I think it's a KR-V8070) Early 5.1 surround sound, etc. I had stored it for a while, but was using it to supply a low level signal for some woofer repairs. This particular unit actually has a switch on the back that allows for changing the stability of the output depending on what the impedanceTo reboot the stereo, you have to press a push button on the stereo that is located beside the CD input button. Do it while the stereo has an active power supply to it. Push the button down for a few seconds and then release. Your stereo has been reset. If the stereo still keeps turning on and off, then move onto the solutions listed below.CD May Be Dirty. Eject the CD and check for fingerprints and smudges. Proceed to clean the CD off with a small cloth and rubbing alcohol. Wipe the CD from the center outwards. Then, reinsert the CD into the stereo.A good solution is to tap into the red cig lighter wire. And make sure in the truck the fuse number #18 (it has two positions) One for constant power and one acc power when the key is in. put it on the acc power mode and tap into that wire from the cig lighter. That will make it so it turns off when you take the key out.

Yes, a bad cable connection is one of the major suspects when your RCA output isn’t working. If you’re asking whether cables often go bad, let me answer you by saying that they don’t. Cables rarely get bad.
Thanks in advance for reading this. I am posting mostly as a check on my line of thinking/logic before I start tearing my dash apart again. I just did a self install of a Kenwood head unit. Connected via low level to 5 chan Fosgate Amp then spliced into stock speaker wiring. The tuner worksq78B.
