If you are plugged in during that period the inverter should not be necessary to provide power to the TV and receiver as it should be designed to pass A/C when plugged in and act as an inverter when you are not connected to shore power.
It depends on how it is wired. He states he has to turn on the inverter to watch tv. If this is true when he is on shore power, then the outlet he is plugging in to is only powered by the inverter.
If you are plugged in, then yes, leave the inverter on so the DVR has power. If you are not plugged in but have adequate solar power leave it on. If you are not plugged in and do not have solar power, you may have to worry about the state of charge of your batteries.
We leave ours on 24X7 but it is wired as a passthrough when we have shore power.
You state that you leave it on 24x7 but it's wired as a passthrough...How can I verify if the power is passthrough or if it's being inverted? Would it pass through if the inverter is turned off?
Thanks for your help!
