Actually, I'm not sure if any of this stuff is made by Concertone. While I believe that Concertone is the importer of the products, the OEM is not identified.

A good example of this would be the Genesis appearing first in the wild with it's own labeling.

Find me a company that this is not true? VERY FEW American "Manufacturers" own factories anymore for a number of very good reasons BTW!

Agreed. The days of building stuff here in America are sadly gone, more than likely for good.

Our TV is plugged into the AV2 input on the Concertone via a standard red\white RCA cable

You might want to make check:
1. That your TV's "audio out" has RCA cables plugged into it and\or
2. The concertone's input is not different than AU2...we had to cycle through the inputs till we found out AV2 worked

Question for Bob--Why doesn't your company put there name on the units? I always thought that was odd.

This look just like the Genesis in our new Signature Ultra Lite. I was able to get the surround sound working with the tv but nothing else. Tried the Bluetooth but couldn't get it to work. Couldn't get the setup button to work. The equilizer was set to off and could not get it to turn on. All Bass etc settings where at 0 and couldn't get them changed. The manuel was of no help. Hoping to spend more time on it when we camp in October.

Our Genesis is pretty nice, so far have had a nice conversation with my techie nephew-in law that everyone could just sit back and speak, then have listened to several hours of pandora radio streamed from phone. I did rewire for HDMI to TV from DishHD reciever..but havent had time to really play with that yet. But it sounds good!! And I like the blue lites.

How is the Genesis working for everyone? Any failures that had to be replaced?

Mine will be replaced. This is a Genesis 2 radio/DVD/CD. The buttons on the radio lock up, although the remote sometimes works while the unit is locked.

I usually have to pull the fuse to shut it off or I am unable to get it to work at all.

They're replacing it under warranty.

The Genesis 3 that I originally posted about has been excellent. It's on almost all the time since I'm linked to satellite and enjoy the music. Nice piece of hardware.

Ours has been awesome. Great sound....everything has worked fine after a minor problem with one of the buttons that was rectified by our dealer. The satellite radio is great! Love the surround sound.

I just received the Genesis 3.0 as a replacement to the ZX700. Everthing on the 700 worked but we had a video/audio sync issue about half way through a movie. The audio timing would lag the video by about 1 second. Very annoying. I could pause the movie and everything would work fine again.
New one seems to be OK. Haven't watched a full movie yet, so not sure if the sync issue will be with this one or not, but so far so good. I'll be checking it out this weekend.

So I received my Concertone 500 replacement today. The Genesis 3.0 works great. It was plug and play with the optional adapter harness. I linked it with my Blackberry to play music and make calls, very impressive when compared to the old 500. Only time will tell, but so far it's night and day difference since the old 500 didn't play B & C speakers, movies, CDs, ect.
If your wondering, the dealer where I recently bought my 07 WildCat covered it under warranty.

My thoughts would be call your dealer and see about getting it replaced under warranty.

We had our zx700 replaced with the Genesis 3.0. Our other unit played surround sound great on the tv. This new unit, no surround sound on tv. We do have surround sound for radio though, except the sub woofer isn't working right. Any help or thoughts about why no sound for tv? And I was able to adjust my sub woofer volume, but it still crackles real bad. Thanks for any help. Pics would be great too, if you have them.
