You bought China junk...Good Luck.

Not Helpful. Go away

While it may not help the OP now, it may (although I doubt it) motivate others reading this to be more careful when buying low end garbage, regardless of what manufacturers name appears on the outside of the product.

At service seminars, the field reps will tell you that these products are built to run the warranty period. Anything after that is bonus time.

To the OP, go to rca.com and follow the links to publications. You can buy the CD-ROM of the service manual.

So low to mid level gear is built to last only up to the warranty period ? So this is a insiders fact and not just an urban legend ?

thanks

Naw, it's just something people like to say. You'll still see a lot of these cheap sets going strong 10 years down the line. Yes, a few will break right after the warranty period. But some people use their equipment more harshly than others too -- long on times, frequent turn on/turn off, bad power, dirt or liquid spills, etc.
