I have a Kenwood KR-4400 and when I first turn it on the volume is extremely exessive to the right channel. I did a good de-oxit on all the swirches and controls but the problem still exists. It seems to be alright at lower volumes, but once you turn volume up to 2 or greater the volume starts to blast through the right channel and I mean loud. Any thoughts as to what the problem might be? Thanks
 
Did you ever solve your volume disparity issue? I just picked up a 4400 (first vintage receiver for me) and one of the channels is MUCH louder than the other. To get the channels to the same volume, I have to turn the balance two notches short of the extreme. I haven't cleaned anything yet, but was curious if you found a solution.

Thanks!
 
Hi

had the same problem with a kr-4400 and it was a dirty mono/stereo button. after cleaning it was fine ! i did clean all the pots and switches but i am 100% sure because before cleaning the switch it was intermittent.

give it a try it might help!
