DVD Movie

[llleimer]

We just picked up our 2016 AI this week and the one thing we didn't ask about in our walk through is how to play a DVD. We have two Samsung TV's and a Samsung Blue Ray disc player with a Monoprice box on top of the disc player showing a/b with4numbers for each. I put our tv on HDMI and can not get anything to play. Tried two different DVDs as well. Help!!

Your owners manual should tell you, or give a call to the service department at your dealership and they could walk you thru it...take your cell phone out to your rig when you call, so you can see everything.

Good luck!

"A" is input for the front TV
"B" is for the rear
There is a small push button to the left of each row, set the light on #1 for the DVD
Ours has quit working on occasion and I disconnect the round power cord jack and plug back in to get it going again. Check that all connections are good from the DVD to the switch. I know it is frustrating learning about all the systems in our AI's at once.
Happy Camping ! We are leaving in the morning on a month long trip.

Getridaone is referring to the inputs on the monoprice box in case that wasn't clear. Mine were reversed from the factory with A being the rear TV..

Why is the RV industry so far behind? DVD players shouldn't even be an option in a 2016 Interstate.

It is blu-ray now and we like to have ours. It is convenient to use at times although admittedly with our unlimited Verizon plan, we tend to use streaming on our devices when there is good reception.

Because my daughter's Scooby Doo shows are on DVD. [emoji3][emoji6]

I understand that there is still a sizable market for hand me down and used children's DVDs but it just seems much easier to download a season to a phone or tablet. If Airstream would include an AppleTV and/or ChromeCast, you could ditch the entire library of now sticky DVD titles. :-)

Fire stick was our solution, but DVD works when data coverage is bad..

Trying to rip, store, and play back lots of DVD's is more hassle than it's worth, at least for me. I do have an Apple TV and move it to the Interstate when we travel. I have the old unlimited AT&T data plan on my iPhone and use AirPlay to cast Netflix, Xfinity, etc to the TVs via the Apple TV as we roll down the road. As long as I have a decent cell signal, kiddo has lots to keep her entertained. She does tend to enjoy the views of the country we're traveling through though and asks about 1000 questions per trip ("how do they get the grain into those big silos?", "why aren't all cows the same color?", etc), so that keeps her busy most of the time and that's just fine by me.

Thanks to everyone for all your comments and suggestions. Had more time to look into tonight and got it working. Would like to say that I did something very technical, but found a cord that was loose. My technical days are far behind me and leave it to the kids and grandkids.
We picked our 2016 AI on Wednesday near Portland and are now making our way back to Fort Myers, FL. We are in Cannon Beach tonight for a couple days, then onto Florence, Crescent City, Yosemite, Sedona, Santa Fe, etc..

Thanks again everyone.

Glad you got it fixed.

Have a great trip home!

That sounds like a great trip and what a way to get to know your new coach!

Safe travels.

Enjoy your new AI and I hope you keep coming back to share your travel experiences. This is a small community but we're active and generally pretty helpful.

If it was the HDMI cable in the back, it needs to be replaced. The thick one they put in there simply doesn't have the compliance to bend that way. A cheap, thin HDMI cable works a lot better.

What no one gets Redbox movies and then returns them to another Redbox in the next city?
