Ive really liked this receiver and its sad that it appears to be built to last only 2 years before flaking out.For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.Its worked fine in that time although in the past couple weeks its started to act strange in that it wont respond to the remote.
Kenwood Av Receiver Tv And ReplaytvAt first I thought my universal remotes batteries were going bad, but it operated my tv and replaytv just fine. So I tried the remote that came with the receiver and it too wouldnt work. Its as if the box need to warm up before it would respond to a remote. After warming up the receiver will even let me turn it off and on with the remote. If I turn the receiver off and let it sit for a couple of hours, the problem returns. Any theories on what the cause and solution might be (Apologies if this is not the correct forum to post this to.). Later sold it and replaced it with a 4k and later added 2 5k units. I did find that tapping on the receiver would sometimes help. This leads me to believe that the IR sensor in the receiver is failing or maybe even coming loose. Kenwood gave me the name of a couple of places to bring it in for service, but they both wanted almost 100 just to look at it. I ended up getting a new receiver, the HK AVR-525 to go with my new speakers from Axiom. Got a great price from One Call when they were running it on special for 571 shipped. To be honest, it sounds great, but not all that much different than the Kenwood, that was a good little receiver that came with an HTB-504. If you find out anything please post, maybe Ill return the 525 and fix the Kenwood if there is an inexpensive solution. Barry. How long did you own your vr-507 before it started to flake-out. Quote: Originally posted by ChampaignWalt It certainly seems like the same problem. Please keep me posted, even if I dont return the 525, Id like to fix the Kenwood.
