Kenwood KR V8080 receiver

My receiver quit working when one of the speaker wire tips brushed across one of the receiver's power cord prongs while it ( the receiver)was plugged into the 110v outlet. This happened when I was messing around with the cords and cables behind my entertainment center, and the power cord was not pushed in all of the way. Since that time, the "Main Power" on/off switch powers up okay and the power light is on, however when I push in the "Remote Power" button the unit turns on for 1 second and then shuts down. After this the "Main Power" light flashes on and off. There os also a click simultanious to the unit shutting off that is coming from a small blue plastic box that is near the fuse in the back of the unit. Can you give advise as to what is wrong? The fuse appears to be okay.

If you sent 110v down the speaker wires & into the amp you most likely have damaged the audio outputs or the output ic. Look for a big aluminum heatsing & on one side you may find 1 or 2 ic's or numerous transistors, the ic's are hard to check, the transistors are easier to check, if transistors replace in pairs. also check for burnt /open resistors near outputs

Kenwood KR-V8010 receiver. B speakers are not working. A speakers are

If the B speakers on your Kenwood KR-V8010 receiver are not working while the A speakers are working, there are a few things you can check:
  1. Check the speaker connections: Make sure that the B speakers are connected to the receiver properly. Ensure that the speaker wires are connected securely and that the polarity is correct.
  2. Check the speaker selector switch: The Kenwood KR-V8010 has a speaker selector switch that allows you to choose between A speakers, B speakers, or both. Make sure that the switch is set to the B speaker position.
  3. Check the speaker impedance: Make sure that the impedance of the B speakers is compatible with the receiver. The Kenwood KR-V8010 supports speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. If the impedance of the B speakers is too low or too high, it can cause issues with the amplifier.
  4. Check the volume level: Make sure that the volume level is not set too low for the B speakers. If the volume level is too low, it may not be noticeable that the B speakers are not working.
  5. Check the output settings: The Kenwood KR-V8010 has a few output settings that can affect the sound output. Make sure that the settings for the B speakers are not muted or turned off.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, there may be a problem with the amplifier or the B speaker output circuit. In this case, it may be necessary to take the receiver to a professional for repair or maintenance.

Kenwood KR-V7080 receiver. No sound from rear speaker amp connections

Hi,

please check the wires of the speaker for damage. If interchangeable with the other working speakers, please temporarily swap them at check if the good speakers continue to work. If so, then you would need to most likely get the rear speaker replaced or repaired.

Thank you.

I have a Kenwood kr-v8010 and all a suddenly one channel is only working just woundering if its a easy fix?

Could be a speaker wiring issue, defective speaker or possibly a speaker protection fuse inside the unit has blown.

1. Check speaker wires for proper connection.
2. Swap left and right speakers to see if the problem follows the speaker.
3. Check for internal speaker fuse that may have blown. PLEASE proceed with caution inside the unit. With the AC cord unplugged there are still high voltages resident inside...BE CAREFUL!!

I have a kenwood KR-V8080 and i had 4 subwoofers hooked up to it. then one day it jus shut off an smoked a little. now when i turn it on an try an hook up speakers it sparks an the speaker pops. i dont kno...

You blew the amp. If you were running 4 subwoofers off of a dual channel amp you most likely running them bridged off of two different outputs. You most likely blew the resistor and because it was pushing more power then it could handle. Also when you bridge speakers it brings down the impedance which allows for the more power to course through. Suggestion is to buy a new amp that can handle 4 subs or 2 different amps for both sets.

Familiarize yourself with the controls. Understand every indicator on the front. There may be a clue there. Turn the volume to a medium or low level before changing any settings or you may be in for a BIG (and costly) surprise when you find the one that was in the wrong position.
