TV advice needed

Do not take this the wrong way ,but have youtaken a hearing test,i did not realise my hearing ,had deteriated ,until  i had a test

Avtex is unlikely to improve on sound quality. We play our TV through the caravan speakers which gives excellent sound quality, if you do have a fitted caravan radio with an AUX connection and a TV with AUX all you need is a lead. 

That's what we did with our Cello tv, we now have a Ferguson (made by Cello) the sound is so much better we no longer need to play it through the vans speakers. 

The issue is the speaker size. They are tiny for all modern TVs even decent ones. Avtex are the same as others, tiny speakers, poor sound.

I have one of these:

Terrestrial, Sat, Smart, all bases covered. Sound OK for me, weighs very little and very low power consumption.  If you want better sound without extra kit then bluetooth the sound to your radio with one of these. (assuming you have Bluetooth radio) then you get stereo TV or music through big speakers.

 Phishing - have you actually tried that bluetooth transmitter?  The only reason I ask is that I have a similar set-up with my tv at home - using headphones - but the system is 'low latency' which means there is virtually no time lag between the sound and the picture ( a couple of milliseconds, which is undetectable by the brain).  Otherwise you do get a noticeable delay between the speech you hear and what you are looking at on the screen.  Doesn't matter if you are just listening to music but watching tv is different. Just wondered?

Another point - our Avtex TV is currently mounted on a bracket in front of the bulkhead alongside the caravan door and the sound is perfect but in our last van when the same TV was on a freestanding worktop with nothing behind it, the sound was less than satisfactory.  Presumably, with our current set-up, there is a degree of the sound 'bouncing back' from the wall, which has improved things considerably.

I would agree with this. Our Avtex in the caravan was OK but not great, where it was sat on a surface with not much behind. In the MH the sound is much better. The TV is on a bracket with a wall a few inches behind, which perhaps reflects the sound. Although we are also a bit closer than we would have been in the caravan.

I don't think, whatever the TV, it will in anyway compare to the sound bar. Occasionally on our home TV the sound bar does not immediately activate and it reverts to TV speakers. It sounds terrible compared to the bar.

+1 for the lead.  About £2 from the Internet if you don't already have one lying about.

We have an Avtex 16DRS the one with the inbuilt satellite function,but ours was purchased mainly for using it off grid.These tv’s have a low current drain on 12v.

As for sound I have no issues at all,but what I do like is the viewing angle of the screen sitting in either off side or near side is superb.

My only issue is I wish I had purchased the 18” version.

Thanks for all your replies, very helpful. I like the idea from ‘phishing’ about the plugin to send the sound to the sound bar via Bluetooth. I will check this out.

Our recently acquired 32" LG  TV has built in the ability to switch the sound to its own bluetooth transmitter.

I use this on occasions via a headset as I have very poor hearing, and when my wife does not need or wish to be involved.

That could be used to drive more compact speakers that you might be able to house better than the present sound bar?

It is also a very good TV set generally and being smart could be used streaming from a phone etc. The downside is it is a mains TV, but other TVs could offer the bluetooth feature.

The details probably are somewhere in this manual? It is easily set up intuitly anyway.
