Ahh, so its a transistor

Do you have a schematic? Is there another transistor with the same
markings?

A lot of times transistors are pretty generic and you can throw in "any old
thing". If that is the case, you should be able to tell from the schematic.
If not, and you have another, perhaps someone has a semiconductor analyzer
and can measure the parameters of a good one, and then you can figure a
replacement based on the parameters.

Of course, you would hope that Kenwood would be anxious to help

Is it a plastic bodied component? Does it have one terminal at each end?

If yes, I'm guessing it's a diode.

hi joe thanks for your response.it has 3 pins on one side and on
thicker pin like a small heatsink looks like this
