Sounds like one or more of your car speakers may have a short or be blown. The issue could be faulty wiring, which get shaken around with the sudden bass drops and have become loose. Have your car speakers and their wiring verified.

I am wondering the same thing, I don't think it is possible to stop it. i will be sending it back because of this unless someone has a solution. My family is ready to kill me, the stereo is always on and every time I walk upstairs or back, or drive away or come back home my phone automatically connects and it makes the loud noise through the stereo.

I found my set to be very balanced in sound. In my old unit, the bass distorted at high volume. This unit appears to balance the bass with the other sounds. Could your unit be defective?

Not here. I would unplug it and see if it still happens and if it doesnt, I would assume its something to do with the volume dial.

the same thing has been happening to me. I think it may have something to do with the slight spark and pop that occured when I attempted to connect my speaker wire while the unit was on.

By no means am I a professional, but I installed mine myself and had no similar issues. Works and sounds like a dream for me. If you've already double checked your install and wiring with a multimeter, I'd think maybe it had something to do with your head unit possibly????? But again, not a professional...Just a guess. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!!

This has happened if I unplug it and plug it back or I switched between usb and aux cable. In these cases it restarts from track 1. But other then that this has never happened. I would recommend that if you just keep the player running or pause it and shut the car engine off, this would definitely remember.

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke.If you find that out let me know. TksClaudia

I have to reset mine about every 2-3 months. Not sure why, might be something to do with power surge on the ignition of my truck. Have same radio in wife's car and father in law's truck. Never happened on his truck and only once on wifes car. not bad for having them over 3 years...

I have the same setup... mine go into protection mode immediately if the volume is above around the 25 setting. Thats about 65 decibels. Guess Im looking for a new receiver unless anyone has an idea.

I don't know why mine failed, but I dont think it was due to water. I think I would of noticed excessive water puddling under my feet. One piece of advice I have to offer is get some quote from a local car audio/video shop if your worried about getting your hands into that tight tight spot. I bought the amp on amazon and a local shop installed it for $35 dollars. That $35 was the best money I've spent in a while

It's never good to clip a subwoofer but it does have protection. I've clipped it a few times on accident. The red light comes on and the speaker basically cuts power to protect it.

I do not actually have this receiver. but, now that that is out of the way, thought i still might be able to help. generally, the protection circuitry shuts the unit down when there is a problem with speaker wiring, like a short or miswire, that's what i would check first, another possibility is you have a damaged cable, like the hdmi is messed up internally, try swapping in a different cable after you check the speaker wires. hope this helps!

Honestly, no I haven't experienced this issue as of yet. Also, note that the stereo is installed in my RV that I don't drive everyday. That said, I may not be useful to use for feedback. Thank you for checking! Scot

I have the same issue, pressing and holding power for a bit usually fixes, it locks up frequently though.... Going to call Kenwood for warranty because CD player has stopped accepting CD's

Test the speaker wired to a different source of music to see if its the speaker or the car having the issue. Also try wiring directly to speaker in case the crossover having the issue
