Vintage Kenwood Receiver Volume Issues
wasedadoc:
Does the tuner actually switch to stereo mode and ouput stereo audio when you tune a strong station? If not, that is a different fault from the indicator not working.
Arty30:
Should this be something I can hear? not sure the best way to test that.
Arty30:
I think you might be right, I can't tell any change in the sound on any "Mode" selection. it has Left, Right, Stereo, Rev, and Mono. I don't know what most of these modes mean or how they work, I have a hard time reading the schematic diagram for rotary selectors, but I think that I should hear a difference in Left and Right. this would be a problem with the MPX board I'm guessing?
Arty30:
I tested the AUX input and the mode selector works as expected, so the FM tuner is outputting mono audio no matter what setting? seems odd.
David_AVD:
The receiver looks to be a little unusual in that the Mode switch does affect the tuner's FM stereo mode.
If the Mode switch is in Stereo or Reverse, stereo operation is enabled for the FM tuner. In the other modes stereo is disabled.
Using headphones you should easily be able to tell if any music is really being decoded in stereo.
