ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
This chapter provides information on entertainment components, including televisions, dash-mounted
audio equipment, multi-disc players, home theater systems, and satellite antennas. Such components
may be located within your coach’s living room, bedroom, cargo area, or even outside the coach in an optional exterior
entertainment center.
Antennas and Cable Overview
This article provides an overview of the antenna and
cable system in the coach. Your coach may be equipped
with an exterior antenna jack and interior antenna jacks
or wiring at each television location. Depending on your
coach year, model, and options, several antennas have
been used.
Antenna Power Booster
An antenna with a power booster may be installed in
your coach and is designed for reception of all local
color and black-and-white channels. The antenna may
be automatic, stationary, or manual lift. The power
booster supplies voltage to the antenna when using
over-the-air signal. However, it transfers the connection
from the antenna to park cable when it is available and
connected.
To operate the power booster for the television signal,
press the switch on the booster plate to illuminate the
green LED light. This will supply power to the antenna
and boost the television signal.
When using park cable, the booster must be turned off
to allow the signal to bypass the antenna and connect to
the television or selector switch through the same coax
cable. The green LED light should not be illuminated.
A 12 volt outlet is also provided for 12 volt accessories.
Do not use this outlet for a cigarette lighter.
Over-The-Air Signal
If the reception is poor, make sure the power switch for
the power booster is in the “ON” position and all of the
coax connections are tight. This switch is usually located
beside the passenger chair or on the video selector box
(select units only).
On coaches with a Rayzar automatic TV antenna, this
switch is integrated into the power on/off switch typically
located in the overhead control center. After traveling,
it may be necessary to auto-program your televisions to
pick up local stations.
Cable Connection
An exterior cable jack and receptacle may be available
on your coach. If installed, they may be located in an
outside storage compartment, usually near the power
cord.
When using park cable, it is necessary to turn the
antenna booster off in order to allow the signal to travel
to the television or selector switch (if equipped). This
switch is usually located beside the passenger chair; it
can also be the power button on the video selector box
(select units only).
On coaches with a Rayzar automatic TV antenna, this
switch is integrated into the power on/off switch typically
located in the overhead control center.
Antennas, Cable, and Satellite Systems
Failure to turn off the power booster switch to the
antenna while using the park cable system may cause
poor picture quality.
