hello sterio question the remote wire on a kenwood what colour is it normallly and does it have live or earth going through it was told this wire switch on the amp but i put my tester to it it doesnt have any power going through it o does the amp send the power to it and then the sterio does its thing please adise me on this if you can

 

should give live..

make sure you havent picked up on the electric aerial feed, as when the cd player is working the aerial goes down...only goes live on tuner setting

one is blue, the other blue and white

 

remote wire is blue..shouldnt have a current.....it just tells the amp 2 turn on or off....

 

it gives a live...to switch the amp on...like a relay

 

so what colour should the wire be should be live when sterio is on i tried to test it with a tester to see but nothing showws power sterio works

 

right blue i dont think thers a blue one if ther is thers a white line goes through it so your saying that no current but it should show up some thing earth or live

 

Remote wire is blue, and goes POSITIVE when stereo switched on, a lot also have a seperate AERIAL feed that does the same, marked POWER ANT.
I have never seen a Kenwood yet that loses it's remote or aerial feed when switched to CD either.
If you phone(my mate) BOB on 01728 746100 he is the main repair centre for all of the UK for Kenwood, and does pretty much all other makes as well, the company name is FULLERS, been doing it since before the ark was made, also carry all sapres etc, and sell graded units.

Remote is normally blue or blue and white

 

thank you

 

If it's a cheaper Kenwood may not have a separate remote (blue as previously said), had this problem fitting the first one of em at work. If it doesn't use the power aerial feed brown iirc.

 

cool thanks
