What are the limitations of the DVD's our Touch Audio system will play? We had only played one DVD in our Touch Audio system (Redbox rental that worked fine). It's been a rainy weekend so we wanted to watch a movie in our North Trail. The kids had already watched the movie on a cheap ($100 Menards) Curtis LED tv/DVD combo that we put in the bunkhouse. The DVD was a gift to the kids (purchased from Walmart by Grandma and Grandpa). We got this message: "This disc is not formatted to play in this region."
The Touch Audio system is one of the biggest let downs of our North Trail purchase. The remote (no exaggeration) won't work unless it is within three feet and pointed directly at it. Couldn't listen to the DVD through the tv. The radio antenna wasn't even uncoiled and no stations would come in when we got the camper. RCA cables were hooked up wrong. The touch part of the system has locked up several times and had to be reset.
Its hard not to get sidetracked considering the issues with reception we are also having with the tv and how incompatible the two seem to be with each other not to mention how terrible the speakers sound. All components are part of the factory system and our thought is the system should all work together.
I'd compare putting the touch audio system in a North Trail to putting an AM radio in a Caddilac. Am I giving North Trail too much credit? Are we expecting too much?
This is the tip of the iceberg as far as the problems we've had with our camper. I'm still holding out hope we can get all of the issues fixed and in the long run not be totally dissappointed in our purchase. I can tell you we are deeply regretting it at this point.
So back to the point, should we be able to play a DVD that was purchased at Walmart in Baraboo, Wisconsin play in this poor excuse for a system? If so should we just add this to the still growing long list of repairs needed to put our North Trail in the shape it should have come from the factory?
