It does not say that it is regulated, but the 12v out plug is a multipin
(10 pin) with different combinations for different amperages?

How do you do it? Do you know if Sharp supply a 12v direct cord. I don't
want to just cut the cable after the transformer in case it HAS to be
12v and won't tolerate say 14v as the sytem will be when charging.

Is that "power supply" just a standard unregulated AC-to-DC "wall
wart"? If so, I'm almost completely sure you will have zero problems
running it directly off of your batteries, even at the 14.5 volts
during charging. If it's a regulated supply, more investigation will
be required to see if 14.5 volts can be tolerated by the TV.

TB:
If you look at the back of the unit, where the 110 adapter plugs in,
you'll see that the input is 12 volt.

I took the 110 cord to an electronics store and bought a plug. It cost
less than a dollar. Attached it to the cabin light circuit. I am
keeping the original cords "just in case", but it seems that I will not
need them.

Both TVs work just fine, and have been for months. Charger, batteries,
alternator, it works just fine.

My experience:
If you tell anyone you are going to do anything differently than
everyone else does, they will say, "Don't do it".

Don't tell anyone.

I bought a 15 inch lcd for my aft cabin, liked it so much I got a 20
inch for the salon. 12 volt, 4 amps, light weight, take very little
space. Junked the crt screens.

They should be able to put up with some motion, as the technology is
the same for lap top screens. I don't worry about them holding up.

My feedback is all good.

Would you know what they are worth?

I cruised with a Samsung LCD tv for almost two years. It is still running
fine. The Samsung 15 or 17" LCD sets are a particularly good choice for
onboard use. They have an integrated TC tuner, they can be used as a SVGA
monitor and they run directly from 12V DC.

I can see its use for a mini-ITx mobo.


Wondering how to use that for a tv?

Can someone post pinouts for the square 12 volt Aquos power connector? I have an LC-13E1U 13". It's got 10 pins... A schematic would be nice too.

Thanks

I think you might have better luck posting your query on
