Voltage 3818,Sync TV's?

Hello! I just picked up a '14 3818 this weekend! I wanted to mess with the entertainment system, but I can't seem to get the TV's sync up? It has 4 TV's, I put a dvd in the player & got the main TV & sound bar working but I couldn't figure out how to get any of the other TV's to play the movie! I'm sure there's lots of info I'm leaving out, so I'm just going to admit ignorance up front!!! Thanks for any help!

Troy

They may be stand alone TVs. The TV in the main room works with the entertainment center connected to it. The bedroom normally isn't connected to the entertainment center and will have to have it's own DVD player.


The garage TV should have a DVD player built into the stereo for the garage TV and the outside TV is serviced by this same system.


That's not to say there haven't been changes made over the years but it seems to have been the norm for the most part.

In my 3600 the living room DVD player also plays in the master bedroom. The garage dvd also plays on the outdoors TV.

Thanks for the replies! Mine only has a dvd in the main room, I'm pretty sure it should play on all, just to dumb to figure it out!

It will look similar to this. Press the little button so that little light is not on indicating the amp is turned off.

The stereo in your garage may also be a DVD player, mine is.

Well...having fought this battle back in 2015...so I sure don't remember it all...

But in our 2015 Voltage Epic 3800...there is COAX cable between all four televisions. What that really means...I dunno.

Our Sony BlueRay device is only connected to the TV in the living area. Never tried with the TV outside. To be able to watch Movies...I moved the player into the bedroom and that's now the only TV its connected to.

We watch recorded programs on DirecTV. To be able to do that, I upgraded to the DirecTV Genie HDDVR. Then purchased through https://www.solidsignal.com

Two miniGenie devices. One for the bedroom and one that can be put in the Garage or the outside TV. I purchased an extra power supply so there is a mounted power supply in the Garage and outside TV compartment.

Don't know if you're going this direction. But thought I would post the "how I did it info"

I have a 2015, 3818 and can confirm on my unit the only two that are tied together are the garage and outdoor tv. As stated they are both tied to the garage DVD player, the others are all free standing meaning you will need a player at the living room (which I'd assume you have) and one in the bedroom to watch DVD's. They are all in fact tied together with a cable coax but as you've probably already ready is done in a horrible way from the factory so it may or may not work out of the gate. Most have had to pull things apart to replace the factory splices or to simply finish the connections.

I've had my 3600 for 5 years and never knew this, but I'll be trying it out this weekend. Thanks AZ!
