Memorex STS2891-R DVD/Surround Sound
Hi all,
Just got my 2008 Journey and am going through the paces to see what works, what doesn't and what needs to be upgraded. I've only taken it out on one trip so far, but it drives and rides like a champ.
The Journey has the Memorex STS2891-R DVD player with surround sound. I see all the speaker wires going to the back of the device, and I get sound when I put a CD or DVD in, but no picture on the TV. I suspect a bad or loose cable, but have not had a chance to check it out. Also the Jensen radio on the front dash with Sirius goes through the surround sound system.
Two questions though - first how does the DVD/Surround sound work with the Quest Video Select System? It didn't seem to make any difference what the Quest was selected to play a CD. The manual seems vague about it.
Second - since the Memorex is DVD, I am thinking about upgrading it to Blu Ray - or at least hooking up a Blu Ray to the TV. But I would like it to work with the Surround Sound system. The TV works with the antenna, but I forgot to check if the sound was through the TV or the surround sound. Has anyone upgraded the STS2891? If so, what did you select and why.
Also, if anyone has any troubleshooting hints other than basic cable stuff I would appreciate it. Unfortunately I can't park the RV at the house for any extended time, so I have to either do my troubleshooting at the storage facility or while camping. Either way, any help to get me pointed in the right direction would be great!
BTW, the last owner upgraded the TV, so it's not the original RCA but a newer HD TV. The dealer I bought it from also volunteered to do some troubleshooting when my replacement bedroom window comes in, but I would like to get it figured out for my next trip.
Off to read more of the manuals during the ball game...
Thanks in advance,
Jengle
