Installing New 12volt Jensen 32 inch TV
We are camping at New Brighton Beach (State Park) overlooking the ocean right now and I am getting ready to install our new 12volt television.
I removed the old 120volt Jensen 32 inch TV (JE3214) yesterday afternoon. BTW, the mounting bracket has two release levers at the bottom of the bracket so if you have a 32 inch Jensen you may want to feel around behind the bottom of the TV for the levers. Pull them toward you and lift the TV off the top slots. Very simple if you know where the releases are, not so simple if you do not know where they are located (as was discussed in previous threads).
The bracket mounts a little lower on the new TV so I will have to lower the bracket on the wall.
The new Jensen comes with the same ports as the old one which includes a left & right Audio Out. I intend to hook them to the iRV6500BT head unit's Aux In so we can listen to the TV through the TT speakers. The head unit does not have an HDMI connector so I will be using composite cables until I switch it out. I'll post another message after I get it completed later today.
As an FYI, if you do mostly dry camping (with or without generators), as we do, and decide to install a 12volt TV, be aware that the Jensen 12volt TVs do not come with a cigarette lighter power cord. It must be purchased separately. Fortunately one of the reviewers mentioned this as we were reading the reviews so I ordered the cord when I ordered the TV.
