Question About Kenwood Stereo Amplifier None km106 amplifier. 5 On my Radio Shack unit I just program the 4 digit code 1027. I don't know if other remote would use the same code or not.
I don't know if Radio Shack still sell this unit or not. It is a Radio Shack 15-2133 Kameleon. I don't use this remote much because of the battery power drain on this remote. But in this case, I used it to turn on the Kenwood control amplifier so that I can remotely set the power level sensor to max. Then I don't use it anymore after that. I just turn the Kenwood control amplifier on and off using the power button on the control amplifier. 4 I have the same system.

What you have is a problem with the control preamp remote sensor volume level set very low, not allowing the preamp to output a normal level of signal from the control preamp. Find a universal remote control that will trigger the control preamp and then adjust the remote sensor volume to its max. This is what I did with my system. I have a Radio Shack 6 in 1 komeleon remote control that I was able to use to trigger my control preamp. Hope that help here. Here is photo of LCD sensor level at max. 4 Is the LED display lid up on the KM 106 amplifier when you push the power switch on?

There should be a whole set of red led's on in the middle of the display. It could be that you are having the same problem as I am here. The KC 206 control preamp need a remote control to control the remote volume output level. If the remote have set the level to very low, it is possible that you aren't getting the volume out here.

One way to tell if the problem in in the power amp or the preamp is to bypass the preamp and hook up the cassette or CD player to the main amp input. If you get an really high volume output, then it is in the control preamp that is causing the problem.
