Greetings-

I purchased a Kenwood VR-5090 package deal at a garage sale. I resell stereo equipment on ebay. I have been testing the receiver and having issues:

- Phone input (or radio) - low sound cranked all the way up.
- Its not the speakers or speaker wire - I am not even sure if the receiver is seeing front speakers as an option it doesn't when going to speaker level volumes. It's like it only sees center / surroung / rear surround and sub
- Same results with both A or B speaker channels
- Am I missing something?! I am at a loss - most receivers I buy I typically don't need the manual to do test its features and its on its way to a happy home.

- Tested cd player (2 different ones) with 2 different optical cables in both DVD and CD optical inputs - I get no sound at all.
- Receiver is set to digital - nothing...

Is this thing shot or is there a 'reset' option back to factory settings?

Any input would be great otherwise it will be an as is deal and count my losses.

Thanks!
Erik

Are you connecting using a separate amp or built in amp of the unit?

This gives you table of contents for that unit. Touch the topic in the menu and it opens in new page. In the trouble shooting section there is a topic on abnormally low volume from speakers. It explains the steps to correct. Hope that helps you!
