I have a new Winnebago View 24A which comes with a Jensen 32" LCD TV and Jensen AWM970 wall mount stereo/DVD player. The TV is 120 VAC and runs through a 300 watt Sensata inverter which has a transfer switch built in. Everything has been working great, fantastic picture and sound.
The problem came when I ran the system on battery power only...no generator or shore power. So the TV is running on the inverter and the stereo is a 12VDC unit. I put on a DVD and noticed immediately that there were 2 horizontal lines on the TV that slowly scrolled up....hmmm....I raised the antenna and switched to TV only and the picture was great....hmmmm. Further investigation revealed that if I plugged the TV into an extension cord that was connected to shore power and ran the DVD it worked fine as well. Even though this is all under warranty I'm guessing it is the inverter or a wiring problem.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Jim
