I have a new RCA TH17 series and I can't figure out how to turn on the radio.

You may find a free manual by logging in at the following site, and perhaps that will show the AM/FM radio settings.

Closest available RCA CD-CLOCK RADIO USER MANUAL online is for Model #RP5610 at this location: http://www.voxxsupport.com/images/manuals/RP5610/media/RP5610_DOC_OM.PDF
It is almost exactly the same model as the #3700 series.

If unable to link to that webpage, go to RCA Tech Support page at: http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/manual.aspx?product=143 and click on download manual.

immediately return it to place of purchase and exchange for other player or have money back!

does your deck have a sub control on it sub on or sub off are your rca jacks plug in to the right one are your rca cables in good shape speaker wires hooked up properlly amp is set on low pass filter

Here the user guide:

Manual : RP5430.

Click the link above, you will need to use the zoom option on adobe acrobat, as the manual is printed all in one big foldable page.

If its anything like the RCA model I have, you have to simultaneously hit the alarm button for the alarm you want to turn off AND the off button, so both at the same time.

Well, I have an RCA clock radio/CD player and just figured it out. Press the "Time" button and hold it down while pressing the CD "Forward" button. Hope it works for you! Ron
