does anyone know how to re-set a J.V.C. car stereo. I took it out of one car to put into another and it will not turn on now. I know you can re-set them but that page in my manual is ripped out.

Before I would reset I would make sure that you are getting power to the radio and don't have any fuses blown.
Use a test light and ground it to a good ground then touch the red wire with the key on, you should have a light, the same with the yellow. Also make sure that the black ground is a good ground, hook your test light to the black wire and then check on of the hot wires and make sure you get a light.
If you have power, then either behind the face or on the back or underside of the radio will be a small hole marked reset.
Use a toothpick and nothing metal to push the reset.
Also, if you unhook all the hot wires and let sit for about an hour it will reset by itself.
IF all this fails and the radio worked in the previous car then you have a wiring issue, you need to disconnect all wires except the hot and ground and antenna wires and then see if your radio comes on, if not then you may have a problem with the radio.
