    Kenwood KR-5400: one channel distortion

    Hi all, I have been working away on a Kenwood 5400 with one bad (left) channel: there is a variable amount of distortion at higher volumes.

    Kenwood KR-6600 relay shutting on and off repeatedly, and pops and crackling with volume at 0

    I recently purchased a Kenwood Kr-6600 from a man on facebook who said his relative used it for a while, then it sat in a barn for a while. When I powered it on for the first time there was no sound at low volumes, and a faint sound close to max volume. I have since worked the dials and...

    Hello! I’m having an issue with my Kenwood KR-5600 receiver. When I listen to FM radio, sound only comes out of the Left speaker. When I turn the balance knob all the way to the right, I can hear a very quiet signal in the right speaker, but the Left signal is sooo much louder than the right...

    Kenwood KR-9400 Still Blowing Fuse

    I bought a KR-9400 knowing it wasn't working and I'm trying to repair it myself. I replaced the transistors (all 8 on both heat sinks) but it still blows fuses.

    Kenwood KR-9600 - Preamp problems?

    I recently bought a KR-9600. When I bought it, I was having a problem with the pre-amp. It would only work partially when you move the selector switch from one input to another. It would then play for a second then stop. It was not just a dirty connector as it was very systematic meaning that it...
