Kenwood Amp blinking Standby indicator light

http://manual.kenwood.com/files/B60-5676-00.pdf KENWOOD KRF V5200D SM Service Manual free download schematics eeprom... search on the page for the word "processing" and wait there until it says " Get Manual "

This sounds like an issue with the capacitors in the power supply. There is nothing that you can do unless you want to disassemble it and then solder

Why guess? Get the manual out and actually look at the settings to see if they're out in space somewhere. If you don't try to understand what went wrong you will repeat it.

Page 33 if you want the shortcut to factory settings.

First of all, the KRF-V510 doesn't support direct powering of the Surround back but it does have a Pre Out to drive externally amplifed Surround back speaker(s).

The indicator for BS on the front panel is NOT an indication of speaker presence. It IS an indication of the INPUT presence of that channel.

During setup you will only see RB or LB ...

Page 17: IF you have something other than OFF set for Surrounds....
Page 17, step 9: AND you select something other than OFF if you have Surround back Speakers attached to the speaker connectors...

.. and complete the rest of the setup properly. You should HEAR the Test Tones on all speakers. If the Surround Back is inaudible you would need to investigate the external amp/speaker combination you're using.

From Page 7 of your manual... this is indicating a grounded speaker wire (blown voicecoil).

It has shut down to prevent damage. Disconnect the speaker wires from the amplifier and power on the amplifier again. If the error persists - you will need to have the amplifier repaired.

Check the voicecoils for proper imedance.

Thanks!

mine does the same and it cost 100 pounds to have the output chips replaced

#1 check the batteries in your remote,#2 if this is a new system contact the the dealer(let them handle it)i'm sure they will make it right.(what i'm saying,is don't void your warranty buy trying to fix it your self.enough said!thanx for using fix-ya!!!

Does it go into standby when it's in another mode like : Cd or Video 1 or tape?

When you state that you checked the power amp IC's , how so did you do this?

Thanks n' let me know.

The flashing light is indicating that a fault has been detected, and it is staying in "protect mode". First disconnect all cables from the processor (except the power cord) and then power up the processor. This will eliminate the possibility of a shorted cable or a problem with any connected components. f the light still flashes, there is an internal problem and the processor will require profesional service.  

Here is the link for the user manual for your amp if you need it; http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/113/113KAC9102.PDF There appears to be no designed error code indicated by a flashing power light. the light is either on or off.(page 2) I think therefore that your amp has a major problem in the control part of the circuitry, almost certainly something that needs replacing rather than being repairable. if you wish to try yourself then if you can open the amp up, and post us some clear close up photos then we may be able to help. If you wish to find the nearest Kenwood dealer then; http://www.kenwoodusa.com/support/simple.aspx?men=2&M2=38 Hope this helps - sorry if it is bad news :)
