I'll preface this post by saying I'm not very technical, but a quick learner. I bought an older receiver, a Kenwood KVR A-50, that I've hooked up to a couple Bose 161 speakers.
It used to work perfectly when set to "Tuner" (just standard FM station), with normal sound volume.
Now, the sound comes through incredibly faint, event when the volume is turned up to the max. Both the "Left" and "Right" balance controls correspond to the correct speakers, and they're each putting out the same level of low volume.
Additionally, I've hooked up a record player to the receiver with the same outcome. I've tried it in CD/Aux and Phono with no difference. And the fact that this same problem occurs when it's simply the radio we're trying to play directly from the receiver, rules out any set-up issues with the record player. I've made sure the actual speaker wire is properly input into the receiver and speakers as well (many, many times.) The only other comment is this happened after a move, so is there any possibility the amp in the receiver got damaged. Any help is appreciated!
