Gulf Stream Owners RV Forum - View Single Post - Visa Folks: Does the stereo system play DVDs?

We have an interesting story regarding the Radio / CD / DVD unit. We have a 2011 23RBK. It came with a "Touch Screen" unit manufactured by "Touch Audio," which happens to be a Lippert subsidiary. The unit had terrible reception, and would not tune in any AM stations at all. The Dealer replaced it under warranty. Subsequently, during our next trip, we discovered that the DVD player would sometimes send a picture to the TV saying "DVD not formatted for this Region." After some internet research, I discovered that all DVDs have a coding for the region of the world they are sold in. DVD players sold in that Region should play DVDs sold in that Region. In our case, the DVD player sort of arbitrarily decided it would not play DVDs coded for our Region (North and South America). After convincing the Dealer of this issue, Gulfstream provided another Radio / CD / DVD unit - a newer generation of the Touch Audio radio. This unit has been trouble free. I notice that the 2013 Vista Cruisers have a different Audio unit altogether. Hopefully it knows how to play DVDs coded for the US.
