In article , says...
Hi all,

I have a weird situation on my Kenwood A/V receiver. It seems that when my
receiver is turned off for a while, the remote can't operate it (it's in
stand-by mode), but if I manually turn on the receiver, then after a while
(10-15 min.) the receiver seems to respond to the remote.
Ideas anyone?

As one other has already suggested -- my VR-507 exhibited the same
symptoms. I found bad solder contacts at the IR receiver on the front
panel. Not the easiest thing to get at but a couple dabs of solder let
me veg on the couch for hours.
