First of all -- Welcome!!

I am a little confused as to the question. You say it "runs surround stuff and all other stuff well" but then it appears that you cannot power it on? You might clarify that.

This might not help you because we didn't find a solution to the problem, but my Genesis (Concertone) also would not power on and neither I nor my dealer could figure it out. We thought it was the wiring harness or a bad or loose connection but swapping out the harness did not correct it. It was replaced under warranty.

With yours, you could try to pull a fuse to reset it and see if that will work. Also, you might pull the radio out and check your connections.

As a second suggestion I would pull it out and gently palace it in the nearest garbage can. Then go shopping for a double din car stereo. There are literally dozens that can play CD/DVD/MP3 discs and have far better quality. Check places like Crutchfield.com if you do not have any good car stereo stores in your area.

Or alternatively look at the Jensen AWM970. I particularly like it because it is designed for RV use; especially the 3 speaker channels.
