Just FYI, I Googled this and it appears that the brand is RCA. (I edited the subject line to reflect this).

After you plug it back in, pay close attention to the sequence of events. (clicks, display flashes, etc) Many of these units were designed without speaker relays so they don't have a conventional "Protect" mode when outputs fail.

If it clicks then goes dead, try disconnecting all speaker leads from the back and try again (unplug, wait 5 minutes, plug in, try again). If it comes on then you may have a speaker or wiring problem.

Completely dead (no clicks, flashes, etc) then it's going to need service. The only fuse you would even think about replacing is the AC line input fuse (not the DC supply fuses). If you can't determine which is which, then don't replace any, since replacing the DC fuses and powering "On" will do additional damage if the outputs are shorted.
