Need New Stereo CD/DVD

Question

Would like some input on what to replace the POS Jensen that was installed in our 5er. It sounds as if it is off frequency and cracking on AM-FM. If you try to watch a DVD, it pixelates and freeze frames. I have had trouble with this since the rig was new. I would still like to have a 12 volt unit that jacks into the TV and external speakers. I have gone to a couple of big box stores and struck out at one. Didn't have a clue what I wanted and said they can't order anything. thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I replaced my no name DVD/FM/surround sound system when it failed. But mine is 120 vac. Went to Best Buy and looked at the home theater systems as they had the outputs to drive the surround sound speakers. They had at least a half dozen brand name units. But they all did come with new speakers.  I picked one that best fit the cabinet space available. Sounds far better than the OEM.

You can buy a home theater system with Blu-ray player for under $200. Go to Walmart or Best Buy and check them out. Then get an inverter to power the system.

I had the same issues.  I thought I would get something like this Pinoeer that does exacty what the original RV unit does.  Wire the 4 inside speakers to "front" and outside to "rear" and use fader to control inside vs. outside sound.  But then I would still have poor speakers.  I ended up getting a $50 portable/car DVD player and $60 bluetooth speaker.  That offers more flexibility for us, better sound, and lower cost.
