Most of the better home theater receivers will have built-in AM/FM tuner, but not DVD.

I bought a RCA RT2781H from Walmart, which has been superseded with suffix "B" for Bluetooth. It is basically plug and play when replacing the OE RCA. This one has no DVD player, but has 3 HDMI ports. $150.00

I have Directv on one input, a stand alone DVD/BluRay player on the next Input, with the third not used. The RCA connects to TV through another HDMI cable. No more RCA cables. The speaker wire connections are same as old ones. I left in the Monaco speakers, wth the exception of the woofer, changing it to the one from the new system.

I ordered the coach with a euro lounger and computer desk. A few years ago, I removed them and installed a couch. Once done with that, the woofer came out of the cabinet under the table and now resides under the couch. Why would anyone put a sub in a closed cabinet. Oh, I know. Because it would fit. Duh. Now it adds to the surround system instead of rattling the cabinet.

I appreciate as always the information. Back to Walmart I go. I did some checking my current RCA is connected using RCA plugs hence why I have no HD to TV. Trying to keep it simple. Yes got to remove the sub from cabinet no good inside there. Don't think it works. I only get sounds from the 3 speakers by driver passenger seats. Thx Happy.

Denon is a good brand of receiver! You can get them from Amazon. Several are less than $250!

Update: I think I am going to mount the subwoofer between the drivers seat and wall. This will make it sound better than in the cabinet and easier to run the RCA cable. Suggestions on powering it?

Well I'm totally confused on what I want to do. When I picked up the coach, the previous owner removed everything in the bedroom. I see all the component cables, a couple of IR sensors, a single HDMI cable. Question: was there another one of the RCA home theater systems in the bedroom? I got most of the front one working, but none of my other coach speakers are working except the three across the front of coach. Any helpful ideas would be appreciated.

My bedroom system was a totally separate system from the front. The only common cable I have found was the cable for Antenna or satellite.

Yes I have a box up front. I connected it so everything appears to work. Nothing in back yet.

The only 'common' lead I see in mine would be the cable or coax (front to rear). Honestly, I have not tested it cuz we seldom watch TV in bed.

Now I have another thing on MY list!
