Jensen head unit playing DVD on TV in Jayco Greyhawk

Hello all. I am out camping and trying to get a movie to play on my TV. I put the DVD into my Jensen head unit and I can't get it to come up on TV. Only on the small head unit screeen. Does anyone know how to get movie on TV?

    In our 2009 Greyhawk, we have to change the input on the TV to access what is playing on the DVD Player. Our TV has 6 inputs, our DVD player was Input 1. Look behind the TV and see which input it used, or just hit the Input or Source button on the TV remote until you see the DVD playing.

    If it doesn't play on the TV at all, the RCA or HDMI cable may have come unplugged from the head unit or possibly it was never connected. Just pull the head unit and check the connections.

    ^This. Just re-read the OP.

  • The TV already has connection running into HDMI so it has to be coming from somewhere. The only DVD player is in the dash. Has to be configured through there somehow.
  • On my Pioneer, all I have to do is run a RCA cable between the head unit's video out jack and the TV's composite video input.

    I never had any luck with those ALL IN ONE units as well. Mine has the DVD player vertical... You know that is going to work good for a long time. We just picked up a cheap DVD player from WALMART that had the three cords RED WHITE and YELLOW outputs and plugged into the amplifer system of the TV set...

    All of our HDTV sets has those connections in the back of them...

    Been working without issues for several years now...
