12V Proscan TV and Sony Blu-ray Modification
When I first bought my Northern Lite TC and joined this and other forums, I read a few posts from people who had wired up a Blu-ray player directly to their 12V system. Since I couldn't find a 'how t...

Hey Wardster! Great minds think alike! I just received a very similar Sony Blu-ray player (mine was a refurbished model that is wired instead Wi-Fi.) It has a 12v wall wart as well. The Jensen RV DVD/Stereo was dying a slow, miserable death in our motorhome and the kids would probably "die of boredom" if there isn't some form of entertainment available.
However, I'm concerned that the feed from the battery (+ input from Solar charge controller or battery charger) would be too much to feed directly to the player, causing it to prematurely die. Especially since it is normally fed by a nice steady 12.35 VDC (I checked the open circuit with my multi-meter.) Have you had it hooked up to your camper yet? Did you experience any problems with a higher voltage?
My solution is going to be to hook up a voltage regulator/stabilizer like the DROK Stabilizer on Aamzon . I'm just not sure if the battery voltage starts to drop below 12v, if the output will drop below 12v.
Please let me know what your experience is with Blu-ray.
Thanks,
Tom
