Connecting my DVD RCA jacks to the Aux-In of the Stereo

I'm not at all confident that you'll be able to effectively eliminate it on the boat. I've got a 12v player in our 348 Vista and it's great. I actually use the AUX-in on the DVD player to daisy chain input from an iPod. That and you're likely to get better battery life using a 12v player anyway. But if the player already uses an external power supply you may be able to use a DC-to-DC transformer to adapt to whatever voltage it needs. But if you want to just cut to the chase and get things working I'd dump the AC/inverter setup and just get a player designed for auto/rv/marine use. -Bill Kearney I've been through about 3-4 DC based DVD players and haven't found one that compares to the AC based Sony that I settled on. The Sony plays everything flawlessly. I'll work on it from the isolation standpoint. If the problem is a ground loop, it seems that there's no reason to assume that the isolation transformer won't solve it. -- Geoff Geoff, Do other audio devices work with the stereo on the same input you are using for the DVD? Maybe the problem is not with the DVD but is with the stereo. krj |
