Kef 100 My kef 100 dvd/receiver keeps turning off. Sometimes I can get it to come back on but it keeps turning off after a while again.

Based on the information provided, it seems that there may be an issue with the DVD unit of your Kef kit 120. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: Check the power source: Make sure that the Kef kit 120 is properly plugged into a working power outlet. If it is, try plugging another device into the same outlet to ensure that the outlet is working properly. Check the cables: Make sure that all cables are properly connected to the Kef kit 120 and that there are no loose connections. Also, check the cables for any damage or signs of wear and tear. Reset the Kef kit 120: Try resetting the Kef kit 120 by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes help to resolve issues with electronic devices. Contact Kef customer support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be a more serious problem with the DVD unit itself. In this case, you may need to contact Kef customer support for further assistance or to arrange for a repair or replacement.

Did you get the software update to work? I must be doing something wrong..

when I burn the files to a cd-r it says error 4 after the question yes/nowhen i burn them as ISO it says bad disc

Can't get it to work.. too bad, since the system has great sound!

if you have still the problem, I got the solution from Kef USA. It is somewhat involved in taking the unit apart and replacing a resistor and capacitor. With the instructions supplied any electronic technician or TV repair man can do it in less then 1 hour. email me and I forward the instruction in PDF: [email protected] . Replace the first X with a and last X with m in my email address.

Sounds like your receiver has a cold solder joint on the power board at a transistor or capacitor. Not a major repair, however, it will probably run $100 or so to pull it apart, hunt it down and fix the problem. Not sure of your problem with the DVDR. Do you have a "line conditioning, surge protection" unit? Not a Power strip or low end monster surge. Panamax, APC, Furman, make line conditioning surge units that keep your power steady and will shut down in case of voltage fluctuation in both directions. They cost from 200 to 2000 depending on the equipment you are protecting. It is a necessary component to any system. Hope this helps.

Verry common problem with these systems. It is one of the two audio output IC's for the sub. It is best tho to replace them both. Not easy to get to tho. But not
costly for replacements. On the power board there is 4 IC's on one side and 3 1small and 2the same as the other's. Those 2,are the output IC's for the Sub.
The part number for then is TDA7293. The cost about
$6-10 each. Can find on ebay.REPLACE BOTH!!! They sell a kit of 6 for around $25.Sometimes I replace all 6.

there is a known problem with the amp board going bad. contact kef america and they should do repair under manufacurer extended warranty. if not the flat rate repair is around 250. if you compain enough they should do fix for free. hope that helps.

Nice player. I'm not lucky enough to own one myself, but I found this info which might be worth a try:

Kef Kit 100 & Kef Kit 200 Instant DVD Theatre handset hacks 1. Press & hold the "Skip Back" button, "Play" button & "Volume Up" button on the main unit.
2. After a few seconds the front display should display "PAL RESET"
3. Release the "keys.
4. Power off your unit at the mains.
5. After 20 seconds, power on your DVD player, thats it!
