Why can't I hear sound from my JVC KD-G400 Car Stereo System speakers?
- A
  aguirrenicholasAug 13, 2025
  There might be several reasons why you cannot hear sound from the speakers: * The volume level might be set to the minimum. If so, adjust it to a higher, more audible level. * The connections could be incorrect. In this case, check the cords and connections to ensure they are properly connected. * The built-in microcomputer may have malfunctioned due to noise. To resolve this, detach the control panel and press the reset button on the panel holder. Note that this will erase the clock setting and preset stations stored in memory.
