Kenwood VR-2090 very quiet
A friend of mine has a Kenwood VR-2090 reciever which puts out audio but
the level is very quiet, even with the volume turned up all the way to max. The volume control does effect it though and everything seems to operate normally, unit doesn't shut down or display any errors. Any ideas on what to check? The way it's built does not lend itself well to easy servicing. |

Check the rear panel carefully for a set of 4 phono sockets for accessory loop through, that should have links across them - usually indicated by a thick bar silkscreened onto the rear panel between them. I've seen many people fooled by these links being missing, and what you get is the exact symptoms described. That model may not have them, but worth a look ... Arfa |

Arfa I know there's no link missing, I'll let him know to check for a tape monitor setting though. It's the stereo at my friend's machine shop, they went on vacation and it was fine, came back and it was messed up, of course none of the employees admit to messing with it but it's stacked on top of some stuff with a real rat's nest of wires, it'd take some doing to get to the back of it to mess with anything. |

I agree with Mark then. Best bet is the tape monitor switch or any other switch such as " CD Direct " Arfa |
