Antenna Information
The following are a few points to consider in regards to TV reception
in a mobile application.
Generally in a mobile application, the lower channels are the most
difficult to receive due to the size of the antenna required to receive
the signal.
When TV antennas are inside the vehicle, the TV signal can be
obstructed by the outside metal of the vehicle. This will diminish UHF
performance and may eliminate VHF reception altogether. VHF are
channels 2-13 and UHF are channels 14-69.
Depending on the location of the antenna and the direction of the
vehicle, some VHF signal may be received.

Notes
All systems have a built in Audio/Video input. When the unit is on
source #3 and another external source is plugged into the RCA
Audio/Video input jacks, source #3 is interrupted and the external
source (considered source #4) will be the current source.
For audio output, there are a few scenarios that may apply to your
system.
A) All systems have two headphone jacks built into the rear of
the Video pod. These are behind the TV when flipped down.
B) Remote headphone jacks may be added and located
throughout the vehicle.
C) Additional speakers and amplifiers may be added throughout
the vehicle.
Lights on the pod serve as dome lights. There is no switch on the
pod that turns these off and on. The lights are turned on when a door
is opened or the interior lights are turned on.
