Can I run external speakers off Avtex TV (1 Viewer)

[Doodledebs]

We have a 2016 Autotrail Delaware with a drop down Avtex tv. Would like to extend the sound further into the van.

I have a Bluetooth Kitsound Hive2 speaker, obviously no Bluetooth on Avtex, but the Hive2 does have a 3.5mm audio cable. But I cannot see any aux socket, only a red, white Audio In and either a usb or possibly hdmi outlet.

Is there anyway I can use any of these outlets via some sort of adapter or is there an Aux, which I cannot see.

Thanks in advance

This converts RCA to 3.5mm audio

You’d need to check that the RCA is audio out, rather than audio in

@Lenny HB is an audio expert - maybe he can confirm or advise

If the tv has a headphone jack you can use one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5mm-Bl...566356&hash=item338feef7fe:g:32wAAOSwvg9XfndG

If its an older avtex there is s facility to broadcast on a wavelength you can set your radio to.

Our Avtex has the option of setting a FM frequency to transmit to your radio, so just find an unused radio frequency and then set the TV to match that, assuming your radio goes into the tab area of the van of course.

There should be a 3.5mm headphone jack socket on the left side of the TV. I would imagine that should work with a BT speaker. Ours uses the headphone socket through a separate amp to power a couple of roof mounted speakers, but you may not need to amplify the signal for a BT speaker.

Just had a look at the info, the aux in socket is on the left hand side on the back you just need a 3.5 to 3.5 mm stereo jack lead and plug into you headphone out on the TV.

I would have thought a better solution would be to wire the headphone output of the TV into the one of the Aux inputs on your head unit. I've done that on all my vans as you then get decent quality sound through all the van's speakers.

A word of warning for those going the FM transmitter route, don't bother if you go to France. France has so many FM stations that will interfear with it that you will be constantly retuning it.

You can buy a headphone - Bluetooth transmitter, I'm just about to get a few for work so I can give you a review next wek.

I have a separate FM transmitter that I bought from Halfords. Its better than the Avtex built in one as it searches for unused frequencies automatically, so retuning in france, for example, is automatic. I did this because my van radio has no aux in, and whilst it has USB in and Bluetooth, both of these are powered through the vans ignition so are useless in a motorhome. It can be used to plug into an MP3 player to mp[lay through the van radio or into the TV.

i have run an 3.5 lead around to the AUX socket on the main radio and get superb surround sound when we need a bit more volume,
my Avtex is about 4 years old so shouldn't be a problem on yours,

Hi Doodledebs,
Just thought I’d let you know I’ve just bought Avden Bluetooth bit of kit refereed to by Linda & Steph ( thanks ) and it works great with my Kitson Hive 2. I just wanted flexibility to have the speaker where I wanted.Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your responses, I have found the audio output which was covered by the casing, plugged it in and it worked, so at least I have better sound, now I will look at either the Andven Bluetooth or hard wiring to the Aux outlet of the head unit as suggested.

Just seen Motorhome's contribution above and would like to do something similar. Presently running an audio cable out of the back of the Samsung TV in the van and plugging it into the Auxiliary In socket on the front of the van's radio but Mrs Hagstrom hates seeing WIRES.

Currently in Murcia so a visit to Halford's is out but could find something on the InterWeb if I knew the generic term to Google? (LennyHB may know?)

 

[motorhomer]

This is mine, it works very well.

Might be worth having a look at the new soundbar from Avtex that's compatible with older TV models. Not many places to buy online at the moment, nut found it here: https://www.capitaloutdoors.co.uk/products/avtex-sb195bt-tv-soundbar-bluetooth-speaker-system

Hi If the Avtex TV can connect to a Avtex Bluetooth sound bar why am I struggling to work out how to pair the Avtex L219DRS - PRO to a Bose Home Speaker 500 which I know has Bluetooth? Looking through the Avtex Manual just cant find anything on Bluetooth.

Our soundabar is HDMI ARC and no bluetooth on the Avtex TV.

I don't think the soundbar connects via BT, outs is connected via the ARC output on the TV with an HDMI cable, the soundbar has BT that you can connect to to play music through.

You can use the above Jack then use this as a Bluetooth receiver for you specker Amazon product ASIN B01B4W40VC

Thanks, this now makes sense. I read the literature on the Soundbar which said Bluetooth, so presumed it must connect through Bluetooth. Seems a bit strange that such an expensive TV does not have Bluetooth when even electric toothbrushes have it!

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi ive just read your post. We are trying to connect an auxilliary cable to the aux output. Did you manage to lift/remove the casing? as i cannot see how to do it. Thank you

There's a new avtex sound bar just been released in the USA, not available over here yet but if anyone is looking to improve the sound quality and can wait, it might be worthwhile?
