Avtex L185TR 18.5" 12 volt HD Ready LCD TV
Avtex L185TR - Overview
The Avtex L185TR 12 volt TV is one of the latest generation of Avtex "Ultra Slim" HD Ready sets designed and manufactured specifically for use in a Boat, Caravan or Motorhome capable of operating from a 12volt leisure battery or mains hook up.
Avtex L185TR - Description
The Avtex L185TR is the TV only sister Avtex model to the popular L185DR TV/DVD Combi. It is housed in one of the new style "Ultra Slim" cabinets and is supplied mounted on a detachable pedestal. The use of the pedestal allows the L185TR to be used vertically compared to the smaller model W164TR using a rear mounted leg that meant it allways had to lean backwards slightly. The pedestal approach gives a better picture when the TV is located relatively high compared to your seating position. This is particularly important as many new Caravans and Motorhomes are designed with the TV being located high up.
The L185TR has been designed and manufactured from the ground up for use in a boat, caravan, motorhome or truck. It has superior quality components and excellent build quality to cope with the increased vibration and harshness encountered on todays roads. It has low power consumption and it is also safe to use with variable input voltages (10.5-28v DC & 230v AC). This model is increasingly being used by truckers because of the 12v/24v capability.
The L185TR includes the common throughout the Avtex range unique AQT (Avtex Quick Tune) system. This is a one button tuning facility that aids simple stress free set up when you arrive at your holiday destination. Something that the Avtex L185TR has that also aids its use in the field is "Target Region Tuning". This is a new specification introduced because of technical difficulties with earlier Digital Tick Approved Televisions and it allows you to select which transmitter you want to tune into when camping in between transmitters. Older and less specified TV sets can struggle to lock on to the correct transmitter and receive all available stations.
The Avtex L185TR is built to a high standard and has easy to use software. The L185TR has the top quality (A+) TV screen giving outstanding picture performance unrivalled by any of its competitors. If you're impressed with the standard definition picture try connecting an external HD source to one of the two HDMI sockets.
The L185TR has two built-in standard definition tuners, a Digital DVB-T one suitable for watching FREEVIEW and the Continental equivalent, plus a conventional Multi-standard tuner making it suitable for use throughout Europe on both the new and old transmission systems. You can pause/record live TV from the Digital (FREEVIEW) tuner to an external pen drive/usb hdd (not included) via the USB socket. This is the only source that can be recorded and supports Hard Drives up to 250Gb in size. There are also scart and two HDMI sockets to facilitate the watching of external equipment like Blueray and HD Satellite.

Avtex L185TR - Mounting on a bracket
Please note that the latest generation of TV's are significantly slimmer than previous models. If you intend to mount your L185TR on a VESA wall bracket please ensure that you use bolts of an appropriate length as using bolts that are too long may damage the TV. We can supply short bolts if required, please contact us.
Avtex L185TR - Connecting to 12v circuit
The Avtex L185TR is supplied with a 12v lead terminated in a cigar type plug. The cigar plug houses a glass fuse to protect the TV. If you should need to replace the fuse this can be done by carefully rotating the end of the plug. This plug should not be removed as your TV will not have the protection of the fuse and the warranty will be invalidated. If your vehicle has a different type of socket you should purchase an adapter either from us or your local caravan dealer. Details of our adapters can be found in the accessories section.
When connecting the L185TR TV you should follow the same safety princple as connecting your hook up lead, when setting up connect the TV end first, wall socket end second. When packing away disconnect the wall socket end first, TV end second. It is also important to completely turn the TV off with the main ON/OFF switch situated on the bottom panel rather than just turning to standby as if the main switch is left "ON" when you next connect the TV there will be a surge of power that may blow the fuse. Whilst the L185TR only uses a small amount of power in standby, turning the main switch "OFF" will also save your valuable battery power when rallying / wild camping.
