Jensen entertainment system
We have a new Springdale and are having difficulty with the speakers for the audio system. The speakers on A are very loud while we can barely hear the speakers on B and C channels. Also when A is selected B or C don't seem to produce any sound. Is this a setup issue or could it be a faulty system?

Admittedly I am going off my recall here but I believe that A button is for one set of interior speakers ( I think just two actually) while B is a combination of all interior speakers and C is for outside speakers only at least thats how it is on our Retreat and yes I find you have to adjust the volumne for each setting but not sure why.

we also have a new Springdale and I am not a big fan of the Jensen system. One of the speakers blew while we had a movie on, was not playing it loud.  Anyway, the A button controls the two front speakers, the B button controls the rear two speakers, C controls outside. A and B together gets you all 4 interior speakers. Quick question for you: Can you play the audio from your television through the Jensen system? Not a movie but just the Television? I can't, so I was just wondering if they forgot a cable or if they did this on purpose.

In my trailer, there is an audio cable (red and black RCA connectors) with a "phoneplug" on the other end. That connects to a set of RCA cables that are laying under the TV. To get TV sound through the Jensen system, connect the cables, plug in the phoneplug to the headset connection on the back of the TV and turn on the Jensen system. Select "AUX" and you should have sound. Unfortunately, you have to adjust the volume both at the TV and on the Jensen. It's a "make do" system, but functional. Our TV is in the front of the living area, the recliners in the rear. We us the B speakers to watch TV so we can get audible sound at a lower volume (over the AC)
If you do this, make sure you don't have the "C" speaker button pushed or the whole campground will be listening to your movie. Depending on the rating, that could be "situational" LOL

I had mine out of my 2010 Cougar last weekend to plug in the iPod cable.
My "A" is the outside 2 speakers. My "B" is the inside 4 speakers and my "C" does nothing and has a different style plug on it. I'm thinking it's for a sub-woofer connection. Also on the back is an Aux input RCA jack that I am going to use to take the TV output and play it through the stereo. But it came from the factory without the plug.
Actually, now that I think about it. The Aux out is a RCA cord with three connections. So the stereo is outputting audio (as well as video) to the TV. If I'm watching a movie I will always have the stereo on so I don't need the RCA for the stereo audio out and can use them to connect the audio in to Aux 2.
Guess I'm digging in behind there again this weekend.

Thanks Smiller, I down loaded the manual it says one can adjust speaker balance and fade etc. I will try that.

Also on a side note my 278 Cougar did not have the TV (Toshiba) hooked to the Jensen after hooking it up it had a clipping sound  after taking it in for other warranty stuff my dealer tried getting it covered under warranty but was told it was not. I had to buy a Ground Loop Isolator they are cheap in price but I would think most would hook the TV with the suround.
