Where can I get a wiring diagram and operating manual for the Concertone Radio/cd/cass/tuner ?
I want to hook up the tv sound to it and also find out why even with it off the speakers buzz. I bought the 5th wheel used and didn't get that manual.
Thanks,
Mostanything

WOW! No replies to this one?

In our class B some years ago, I had the same problem but in our case the speakers were hooked-up to the cab radio! Went to a specialty shop and what they suggested was to install an RF Modulator so that by tuning the radio to a preset frequency we picked up the TV sound signal. The installation was reasonable, $under $100. and worked well.

This may work for you as well. So call at your local car radio specialist and see what they suggest. Good Luck.

I think the key to your wiring the TV (TeleVision this time folks; not Tow Vehicle) into your Concertone will be whether you have sound output jacks on the TV and a selectable auxiliary (Aux) position and accompanying jacks on your Concertone.

I have an Executive CD/radio/weather unit in my TT and always had trouble playing CDs with it. This spring, I bought a combination VHS/DVD/CD player. My (cheap) TV doesn't have any sound output jacks so I wired the sound output from the VHS/DVD/CD player into the Aux jacks (both use RCA type jacks) of the Executive. The sound through the TT's sound system is far superior to that of the TVs; in fact it almost gives a "surround sound" feeling when I have the both sets of speakers on (bedroom and living room in my case). I leave the TV set to channel three and use the tuner of the VHS player instead. This permits me to use the TT's sound system for TV sound also. Naturally, I play my CDs on the VHS/DVD/CD player instead of using the defective CD player on the Executive.

Because the Executive lacks a remote control, I have to get up off my lazy @$$ to adjust the volume (the TV has a remote). However, the remote of the VHS/DVD/CD player allows me to control all the CD functions which were manual on the Executive. So, I guess, it's a trade-off.

Try unplugging the power cord. If the buzz stops, then the problem is internal to the unit. If not, then the speakers probably have a 60 cycle hum that's being induced from an AC power cord that's located with the speaker wiring.
