In Reply to: Cheap Universal remote needed for a Kenwood Receiver ............... posted by Cut-Throat on April 30, 2024 at 13:18:47:
You'll need to do some deep research on various universal remotes to see if one supports the old Kenwood VR-405. Lots of research work IMHO unless another Inmate knows of a specific brand / model that is for sure compatible. And for $20 ??Here's a Kenwood replacement remote specifically for the VR405. It's probably your best bet for compatibility but it's $35 + about $5.00 shipping.
There are several Kenwood Compatible Remote Controls on Amazon for much less but none that I see are specifically for the VR405. One of these -might- work for basic Volume/Mute but it's a crap shoot.
But.... for $40 there's the replacement I mentioned above. Good luck!

P.S.If your friend's Kenwood remote worked at all, even intermittently, it could be used to program a cheap learning remote. I have several such cheapies around here ($6 - $10) that I program with my original remotes so I always have a backup. But this only works if you have an existing original remote in working condition or if you can borrow one. To program via IR to the 'learning' remote point the good remote at the 'learning' remote.
Does he have any other Kenwood gear with remote that will at least control Volume/Mute on his VR405? If so he can use one of those cheapie learning remotes.
One last thought. Does he have a Comcast/Xfinity remote? Those can be setup to operate Volume and Mute for various brands (Sony, Samsung, Panasonic in our case). Other cable companies probably have remotes with similar capability. That's another path to explore.
