  KM 106 problem
  
  
  Is the LED display lid up on the KM 106 amplifier when you push the power switch on? There should be a whole set of red led's on in the middle of the display. It could be that you are having the same problem as I am here. The KC 206 control preamp need a remote control to control the remote volume output level. If the remote have set the level to very low, it is possible that you aren't getting the volume out here. One way to tell if the problem in in the power amp or the preamp is to bypass the preamp and hook up the cassette or CD player to the main amp input. If you get an really high volume output, then it is in the control preamp that is causing the problem

  No sound out of system
  
  
  I have the same system. What you have is a problem with the control preamp remote sensor volume level set very low, not allowing the preamp to output a normal level of signal from the control preamp. Find a universal remote control that will trigger the control preamp and then adjust the remote sensor volume to its max. This is what I did with my system. I have a Radio Shack 6 in 1 komeleon remote control that I was able to use to trigger my control preamp. Hope that help here. Here is photo of LCD sensor level at max.

• Same Problem With Kenwood KC-106
  
  
  Can you provide more specifics on the Radio Shack 6-in-1 komeleon universal remote? How did you program? What would be the Kenwood code?

• programming my remote
  
  
  On my Radio Shack unit I just program the 4 digit code 1027. I don't know if other remote would use the same code or not. I don't know if Radio Shack still sell this unit or not. It is a Radio Shack 15-2133 Kameleon. I don't use this remote much because of the battery power drain on this remote. But in this case, I used it to turn on the Kenwood control amplifier so that I can remotely set the power level sensor to max. Then I don't use it anymore after that. I just turn the Kenwood control amplifier on and off using the power button on the control amplifier.

• Amp Remote Code
  
  
  I purchased a Radio Shack 5-1 remote but can't seem to program it to activate the Kenwood Stereo Control Amp. I've tried numerous codes published. Hmmm??

  I you read my earlier post about needing the remote to reprogram the remote sensor input lever to max, then I you should be able to resolve your problem. The remote sensor volume level is set too low is your problem.

• Trouble shooting your Kenwood
  
  
  One way to make sure the problem isn't in the main amp is to bypass the preamp and hook up a cassette player or CD player to the main amp. There should be sufficient signal level coming from the output of either of the devices here. In fact it will be very loud . So be prepare here to get a big blast coming out of your main amp here.

• Continue trouble shooting
  
  
  In evaluating your preamp, as stated before, make sure that your LCD volume indicator level can be set to 10 on the preamp. You can only do this using the remote control. Once that level is set to max, then you can adjust the volume level out of the preamp using the manual volume control knob on the preamp. The main thing is to get the LCD display to set the volume indicator level to max.

• Continue trouble shooting 3
  
  
  If you can do that and still only get very low volume out, then there is definitely something wrong with the preamp. Also, make sure the proper input is turned on when trying to test the system. Meaning CD, or cassette, or tuner, etc.
  
  good Luck
