Hi all need some help. We have a 2016 179 love it but having problems with the tv, stereo. When we try and watch a dvd, we can hear it but no picture. Also just watching TV can't hear the sound through the stereo, the sound is very low and only comes from the tv. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks from the Lazy Goose.

I think the shortest answer is that the Jensen Stereo / TV system is a piece of junk.

Our DVD player worked for about 6 months or 6 DVD's.

I think FR put the cheapest unit in they could source.

Good luck!

Go to the menu on the TV and select source.  You should have an option to choose video as your source. When done go back to the menu and select TV.  Not sure about volume. Go to menu and select audio. It might be set too low on your set.  Good luck.

I found that you have to change the input on the tv to AV I think it was.  Push the DVD button and mine worked fine. I was actually hearing it coming through the Stereo before it ever showed up on TV.  So I imagine you could use either as long as the tv was getting enough volume from the stereo. As I have only used it once dont hold anything against me.......lol. Also I believe you have to push play on the buttons on the stereo.

We have a 179 and use a male to male audio cable to go from the head phone output on the tv to the to the port on the front of the stereo and we get the tv voice over the stereo speakers.

I have a 2016 179 and it has a Jensen tv but I can't find a plug in for head phones. Where is yours located and what year is yours?

OK I got the TV to run thru the stereo speakers but when I put a DVD in I only get black and white even though I know the DVD I am trying to watch is in full color.
