INTRODUCTION

Your RCA 200 Watt Stereo Receiver operates as the perfect control 
center for your audio system. It combines 100 watts-per-channel of 
clean power with modern styling. It provides connections for one 
tape deck, a turntable, a CD player, and one other audio source, such 
as audio from a digital video disk (DVD) player. You can also connect 
up to two pairs of speakers (not supplied) to your receiver.

Additional benefits include:

Digital-Synthesized Tuner — 

Precisely tunes to AM and FM 

stations.

60 Memory Locations —

 Let you store and recall the frequencies 

for up to 30 AM and 30 FM stations.

Automatic Tuning —

 Searches for the next available AM/FM 

station.

Remote Control —

 Lets you use a single remote control for the 

receiver and other compatible components connected to the receiver.

Tape Monitoring — 

Lets you listen to the actual recording as you 

record, if your tape deck has a tape-monitoring feature.

Built-In Protection Circuits —

 Automatically turn off the receiver 

to help avoid power surges or short circuit damage.

Note:

 The remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied).

Caution:

 Unplug the cassette deck's power cord when you will not 

use the cassette deck for extended periods.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your receiver might cause radio or TV interference even when it is 
operating properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing 
the interference, turn off your receiver. If the interference goes away, 
your receiver is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:

• Moving your radio or TV away from the receiver

• Connecting your receiver to an outlet that is on a different 

electrical circuit from the radio or TV 

• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you 
stop using your receiver.

This system complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as 
specified in Part 15 of 

FCC Rules

. These limits provide reasonable 

protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area. 
However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even 
when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference, you can try 
one or more of the following corrective measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or 

TV.

• Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and 

the radio or TV.

Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists.

Warning:

 Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly 

approved by RadioShack could void the user’s authority to operate 
the equipment.
