Features

Overview: The Genesis Technologies GT20 is an A/V receiver for your RV; it has a DVD/CD player and AM/FM tuner built in, three composite video outputs, multiple inputs for adding external components, and a digital amplifier to power up to seven speakers (2 each in zones A, B, and C, plus a subwoofer in zone A). The GT20 is powered with 12 volts DC and mounts in a standard Chassis Group B opening.

Three Zone Output: The built-in amplifier (50 watts RMS total output) powers speakers in three different zones (locations). Each zone is individually selected (on/off) and all three can be used at the same time. The main zone (A) is 2-channel stereo plus a subwoofer and zones B and C are two channel stereo. The subwoofer output is amplified and designed to power the SW-BOX4 subwoofer (804SWBOX4, sold separately).
