Hello everyone,
I have a Kenwood KR-V6010 which was working fine for a long time but now the speakers take a couple of minutes before any sound gets produced. I still get the normal click after powering on the receiver which use to be when the speakers would work. But now I get the click then wait and wait and finally sound comes through.
Cause: I had my foxhole radio connected to the receiver (you can see my thread on my radio here: https://www.electronicspoint.com/foxhole-radio-tuning-help-my-first-circuit-t243458.html). I did this as a temporary way to amplify my radio signal (I know, there is a radio on the damn receiver but it's not as cool as hearing tunes from ones own radio! Plus I can get stations not in the range that the receiver offers such as anything over 1600 kHz). So everything worked fine except when turning on or off any lights in the living room I would ge a loud pop through the speakers. Then I accidentally did this one too many times and now the delay is happening.
So here is my question, I googled the problem and found that this could be as simple as replacing capacitors (http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_audiofaqa.html#AUDIOFAQA_011) so I am wondering how safe it would be for me to pop open the receiver and do this myself. If you think this is safe enough to do by anyone, what are some of the basic safety measures I should follow? Like, should I discharge any capacitors, etc...?
I am still trying to find the manual for diagrams. The Kenwood KRF-V6010 keeps popping up in searches but seems to be a different model (why use such similar letter and number combos?). But I will post a diagram if I can find it.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
