   Your mild lecture about the joys and sounds of nature notwithstanding,  there are times when music,played at a very respectful campground volume, would fill the 'Pod and/or the R-Dome, and greatly 
enhance our communing with nature.

My solution would have been far easier and entail no additional electronics if the entertainment system
supplied by the factory were up to specifications.

I promise not to play my Christmas music at a volume that will disturb your nature stroll.

	My 30ft FR RV came with a really nice 35 inch flat-screen and six speakers. Of course, it cost more than five times my Pod.

	We watch the t.v. in the morning with coffee while waking up and check out the weather (if we can get reception) then we are walking, fishing, fixing a fire, going places ect. t.v. after dark until the bobble head strikes us. If I wanted to listen to music, watch big screen t.v. or play music discs I would stay home. Donna and I enjoy the quiet of the woods and different scenery and the sounds of the woods and water falls. We do a lot of walking in the camp grounds or on trails, you can't buy the quiet of the woods or birds singing and the smell of the outdoors on a c.d. disc.

	I'm sure that's all true, but still does not explain why the audio outs, for whatever they're worth, are missing from this particular unit. Yes, the Audiovox will end up in a yard sale with about a $25. tag on it, but I sure could use the aux outs to feed a pair of computer-grade speakers in the interim! (edit)- Quit cryin', Cooper! Just take the Bose Sound Dock, plug it into the R-Dome outlet, load up one of your half-dozen iPods with Christmas music and have a good time next week! Other folks can't even go camping this time of year! Sheesh!

	The TV/Radio is what it is. It was made for minimal TV and radio while camping. Kind of like most car sound systems used to be. People serious about listening to music replaced them as soon as they got the car. When we camp the TV/radio is almost never on, so for us it is good enough. You need more, and will have to pay more to replace it. My guess is FR hasn't had the demand for surround sound in Pods, so they haven't upgraded the gear.

	Our 2013 R177, (the one with the green and beige swirl graphics, not the horizontal and diagonal decals), only seems to have a TV Antenna In (F-fitting), a Radio Antenna In (small 2-conductor pinch plug), and what I assume to be a Line Composite Video Out (RCA jack, color coded yellow). *No Line Audio Out!* The Audiovox web site does not even show such a model, and the owner documentation supplied by our dealer definitely shows those connections. Kinda' p***ed off! In the final analysis it won't matter, since the whole system will eventually be upgraded, but in the meantime it makes step-by-step improvements a lot more troublesome. If FR ordered a special run just to save a couple of bucks, shame on them!
