What to do if my JVC KD-AR260 has no sound?
- M
  Matthew RogersJul 29, 2025
  If you cannot hear any sound from the speakers of your JVC Car Receiver, there might be a few reasons: * The volume could be set to the minimum. Try adjusting it to a more audible level. * The connections might be incorrect. Ensure that all cords are properly connected. * The microcomputer may have malfunctioned. To reset the unit, hold the SEL (select) button and press the (standby/on attenuator) button for more than 2 seconds. Note that this will erase your preset adjustments.
