Why sound cannot be heard from JVC G210 - KD Radio / CD Player?
- J
  Jennifer RileyJul 29, 2025
  If you can't hear sound from the speakers, there might be a few reasons. First, check that the volume isn't set too low and adjust it to a suitable level. Also, verify that all the connections are correctly made. If the issue persists, the built-in microcomputer may have malfunctioned due to noise. To resolve this, reset the unit by holding the SEL (select) button and pressing the (standby/on attenuator) button for more than 2 seconds. Keep in mind that this will erase your preset adjustments.
