NOTE

This section is applicable to the electronic equipment and

components installed in the American Coach Patriot at the

time of its writing. Audi-video components and features are
occasionally subject to change and the equipment in your
coach may vary slightly from what is described in this section.

DANGER

Never operate the audio-video equipment in your coach at
sound volume levels that could distract the driver, which could
result in a crash, serious physical injuries and / or death.

WARNING

The audio-video system in your coach should only be

serviced by a qualified technician. Modifying the audio-video

equipment installed in your coach (for example, adding

additional speakers, subwoofers, or amplifiers) could damage

the system, which will not be covered under warranty.

WARNING

Turn off all audio-video equipment when the coach is not

occupied. Leaving equipment turned on without the coach
being connected to 120-Volt 30 amp AC shore power, or
without running the optional Onan 2500 LP Generator, could

cause the coach’s house battery bank to become deeply

discharged. Check the house battery bank’s state of charge

periodically and recharge it as necessary.

■

TV OPERATION

The American Coach Patriot has one or two TVs installed in the coach,

depending on the floor plan and factory options for your specific

model� The TVs installed in the coach require 120-volt AC power to
operate� Before attempting to turn on a TV, the coach must be
connected to 120-volt shore power, or have the optional Onan LP

Generator running, with the inverter set to “On” at the main Firefly

network interface display�

note

danger

warning

You may also operate the TVs off the house battery bank with the
inverter turned “on”, while stationary or while traveling with the 3�0
turbo diesel engine running� When operating the TVs off the house
battery bank alone, keep close watch on the battery bank’s state of
charge to avoid deeply discharging the battery over several hours of
use�

Follow these steps:

STEP 1

Provide 120-Volt power from the shore power cable,

the optional Onan LP generator, or the battery bank

via the inverter;

STEP 2

Make sure the inverter is set to “On” at the main

Firefly network interface display;

STEP 3

Use the appropriate remote control and turn the

TV(s) on;

STEP 4

Use the remote control to select the signal source

(TV antenna, HDMI1, or HDMI2);

STEP 5

Make sure the FUSION

Apollo™ RA-770 stereo is

set to the same source as the TV;

STEP 6

Adjust the volume of the coach speakers at the

FUSION

Apollo™ RA-770�

Do not adjust the

volume of the front TV as this may cause

distortion in the audio system;

STEP 7

When operating both the front and rear TVs

simultaneously, you may select the same source

input on the rear TV, or chose a different source for

the rear TV and adjust its volume independently of

the FUSION

Apollo™ RA-770�

NOTE

When using the TV antenna signal, the TV(s) must be

programmed to receive the local area channels. Follow

the menu setup procedure in the LG or Samsung Owner’s
Manual(s) as appropriate to properly program the antenna

based channels into each TV.

warning

NOTE

The rear TV is attached to a swivel arm mount. To release
the mounting lock and reposition the TV, pull down on the
ring and chain suspended behind the center of the TV.

FUSION

Apollo™AUDIO SYSTEM

The heart of your coach’s audio-visual (AV) system is the FUSION

Apollo™ RA-770 touch screen digital media receiver with built-in WiFi�
This versatile AV receiver delivers 26 watts RMS and 70 peak watts of

power to the two pairs of flush-mounted JL Audio speakers installed

in the front and rear areas of your coach� The unit will operate on
12-volt DC power and you can play back AM, FM, or USB based audio
without the inverter being set to the “On” position�

Please read the FUSION

Apollo™ RA-770 Owner’s Manual carefully

before proceeding to operate the unit� The available input sources
have already been programmed into the unit at the factory before your
coach was delivered� There is no need to alter them� Simply follow the
instructions below to operate your audio system�
