Does your wall mount look like this? If it does than hook your cables as follows. And the tv end. Then put in a DVD and select the input that plays the video. Remember blu ray doesn't work.

I'd pull the entertainment center (easy 4 screws) and make sure the connections on it are plugged in and the video cable is plugged to the backside of that wall plate jack.
If that is all good- do you have another video source you could try to confirm input on tv is good? Maybe a camcorder? If that works then see if video out on tv is good by plugging in to another tv or monitor..

I think calling Forest River is a good idea. The TV works fine and the radio is great - just can't get that pesky DVD player part of it to work. I really appreciate all your input from you guys and taking your time to help me out. I'll post what I find out. Have a wonderful Memorial Day and from Dean and I (both Veterans) to all our Veterans we appreciate your service. Special nod to all the retired policemen and firefighters out there, also. See you on the road!

Yeah, I can't help you either. Ours has the black wall plate with multiple cables. Our '14 178 has the "Crown Package" with the outdoor speakers, etc. Does yours?

Yes; we have the outdoor speakers, also - I'll let you know what I find out from Forest River on Tuesday. Thanks for your help.

Jan or Dean,
My 2014 177 has three cables going to the TV from the wall; red, white, and yellow. They are hooked up to the input on the TV. My DVD plays on AV. My wall plug has the three connectors too, not just one. You might take the TV Video wall plate off and see if there are other wires behind it. Maybe they installed the wrong plate?
The DVD sound comes from the system speakers. I have had problems with the USB memory plug not loading.

I have a 2014 Jensen system. There is just a yellow cable to connect. I connects on the wall to the TV video out and to the yellow jack on the back of the TV, then change the TV source to AV by pressing the source button on the TV or on the remote. If it still doesn't work, there must be a problem in the system and you should contact the dealer.
