A little off subject but.. i just bought a 2015 178 used and I can't find a tv remote therefore can't do a channel scan. Anyone know where to get one? Also, I can see on the menu using the tv buttons that says channel scan but it won't let me click on it

I enjoy watching movies on my laptop. Or reading my Bible. Maybe I will tackle the project you mentioned in due time. I'm with you on the vast intellectual wasteland, maybe it's a "vast right wing conspiracy". And maybe the world is not really round. Thanks fellow Tarheel!

It actually sounds harder than it is. If I were there, you would see that it is actually quite simple. Killing the TV is not a bad option either. The vast intellectual wasteland is for the most part not worth expending the effort on. However, getting an updated weather report or watching a movie and being able to hear it when the weather is nasty is a good thing.

Welcome to the forum.  Goldendale seemed familiar, but I had to look it up.  Kathy and I had camped on the Columbia River at a private campground just past Maryhill State Park.  It was the summer of 2012 and I recall some fruit/veggie stands and some old buildings, lots of interesting photography subjects, plus stonehenge up the hill.

I used a headphone jack from the TV to the headphone jack on the stereo, set the mode to Aux.

Thanks for correcting my explanation.  I would go out to re-check, re-think my explanation if mine wasn't in the shop.....LOL

Tee,

The standard colors for a 3-conductor cable are Yellow = Video; Red = Right sound channel; White = Left sound channel. The only two conductors needed are Red and White. A 2-conductor stereo cable as I described above is perfectly adequate.

There should be a video/sound cable that has white, yellow and red plug-ins. The yellow and white are necessary for the speakers. There should be the same on the back of the tv and by the antenna amplifier button. Does this help? I don't have the same model, but maybe this is the same.
