Question 1

At what speed should I use the KAX950ME meat grinder with the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL?

Accepted Answer

The Kenwood KAX950ME meat grinder connects to the low-speed accessory outlet of your Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL. Here are the speeds to use depending on the application:

Speed 4 for grinding meat, poultry, or fish - this is the recommended standard speed. First, cut the meat into strips 2.5 cm wide, then use the provided pusher to gently push it into the feed tube, piece by piece. Never force: a gentle pressure is enough to achieve good grinding.
Speed 3 or 4 for sausage filling - gradually feed the sausage mixture through the tube using the pusher. Speed 4 speeds up the process, while speed 3 offers finer control if you are a beginner.
Speed 1 for shaping kebbies - this lower speed allows for a more consistent and homogeneous mixture for the outer shell of the kebbie.

Important recommendations: Completely defrost frozen foods before use. Before slicing the meat, remove bones and skin. Always use the provided pusher instead of forcing food with your fingers or other objects to avoid damaging the accessory and the machine. Never force: if the meat accumulates in the tube, stop the device, unplug it, disassemble the accessory, and clean it before resuming.

The accessory can process up to 1.5 kg of meat per minute at speed 4. For best results, work in small portions and allow the grinding screw to take the food before adding more.

Question 2

The KDC-MP155U radio won't turn on - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your KENWOOD KDC-MP155U car radio does not turn on, here are the checks to perform:

Check the power supply

Voltage: The device requires a 12 V DC power supply (acceptable range 11-16 V). Check that the vehicle's power cable is delivering the current (maximum 10 A).
Vehicle fuse: Check that the car radio fuse in the vehicle's fuse box is not blown.
Connections: Ensure that all power cables are securely connected and properly insulated.

Clean the contacts

The KDC-MP155U front panel is removable with a cleanable connector. Remove the front panel, clean the connector as well as the power contacts with a dry cloth to eliminate any dust or oxidation that could block the electrical contact.

Reset the device

Check that the DEMO mode is not activated (it should be in the OFF position). Press the source button (⏻ SRC) to check that the device responds. If nothing happens, the problem is likely related to the power supply.

If the problem persists

If after these checks the device still does not turn on, the problem is most likely electrical (vehicle wiring, fuse, weak battery, or insufficient power supply). Consult an automotive electrician or contact KENWOOD customer service.

Question 5

What does the error message "MISWIRING CHECK WIRING THEN PWR ON" mean on my KDC162U receiver?

Accepted Answer

This message means that a speaker wiring error has been detected. The KDC162U receiver has built-in protection that activates this message when it detects a connection problem.

Correction Steps:

Completely turn off the receiver and wait a few seconds.
Check the insulation of the speaker wires at the connection terminals - look for any exposed bare copper wire.
Ensure that the speaker wires do not touch the vehicle chassis, ground, or earth wire.
Follow the color code for connections: white/black for front left, gray/black for front right, etc.
Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Turn the receiver back on.

Important: Never connect the negative speaker wires to the vehicle chassis or in parallel. Keep all cables away from heat sinks.

If the message persists after checking the connections, or if you see "PROTECTING SEND SERVICE" displayed, there may be an internal problem. Contact an authorized Kenwood service center. For detailed wiring diagrams, refer to pages 17-18 of your manual.

Question 9

How to use the FM/AM radio on the KENWOOD VRS-6200?

Accepted Answer

Select the radio tuner: Press the INPUT SELECTOR button to activate the tuner, then use the BAND button to choose between FM or AM. Each press toggles between the two bands.

Tuning to a station: Use the AUTO/MONO button to select your tuning mode. In automatic mode (the "AUTO" indicator lights up), press the MULTI CONTROL or tuning buttons for the receiver to automatically find the next station. In manual mode, use the MULTI CONTROL to manually select the desired station. The "TUNED" indicator lights up when the station is well received, and "ST." indicates a stereo transmission. Note: in manual mode on weak signals, reception will be monophonic.

Automatically store stations: For FM only (except in Europe and Australia), select FM, then hold down the MEMORY button for more than 2 seconds. The "AUTO" and "PRESET" displays will blink alternately. The receiver automatically stores up to 40 detected FM stations.

Manually store a station: Tune into the desired station, press MEMORY, then use the MULTI CONTROL to select a preset number between 1 and 40. Press MEMORY again to confirm. You can repeat this procedure as many times as necessary. A new station stored at the same number will replace the old one.

Recalling a stored station: Enter the station number (1-40) directly using the numeric buttons, or use the P.CALL buttons to scroll through your presets one by one. By holding down P.CALL, you can cycle through the presets at intervals of 0.5 seconds.

Optimal installation for AM: The supplied AM antenna (loop antenna) should be positioned as far away as possible from the receiver, television, speaker cables, and power cord. Adjust the orientation for better reception.
