One option of course is to try Kenwood or a Kenwood dealer (use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/kenwood/customer-service). But the best solution, if you can get it, may be to purchase an "OEM" remote not offered by Kenwood--which is less expensive than the one Kenwood provides, but should be functionally identical. Go to https://codesforuniversalremotes.com/replacement-remotes-for-tvs-oem/; or try https://www.replacementremotes.com/ Otherwise. go to https://www.remotes.net/. In any case be sure the remote will meet your needs before you buy it. Finally, consider irplus, as described at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.binarymode.android.irplus&hl=en_US.
