Sorry; I didn't get that. I'll make sure to pass that info along too, when I pick it up next week. The technician connected it to the trailer's antenna. Sounded great when we used it this past weekend...

Barry, I will pull mine and have a look at it today. Does anyone know how to get access to the brackets that hold it in place?
I must have missed where you mentioned how to fix this, could you link to it?

If it's the same as on my 290RLT, there is an antenna behind the unit. I had it out last week. 2 screws from the bottom hold it in place.

Two screws hold it in place; one at each end attached through the sound bar legs. They can be unscrewed by removing the drawer under the unit. When you remove the drawer, you'll also notice the AM antenna. We had no AM or FM reception with our RCA component, and the technicians found the (red/green/yellow) video plugs broken off the back of the unit. Similar (cheap) quality soundbars can be found on Amazon for $40 to $50...

I popped out my sound bar yesterday and can see why the radio reception was poor. Both the AM antenna and FM antenna were just tossed down behind the fireplace. Of course the reception will be terrible. Barry, I can also see how you overcame this by using a TAP. I am not going that route just yet. For now I will secure my FM antenna to the wall behind the TV in a higher spot. That will help. I rarely listen to AM radio anyway.
Oh, and the choice of mounting the sound bar leaves a little to be desired. Screws right through the counter top and then right into the bottom of the sound bar? Really?

I actually don't see a problem with that...no brackets or screws showing & holds solid.

Dealers.. wont mount a toilet roll holder on their own..(everyone has their own prefrences as to where it should be located ) We picked out a brushed nickel set at Menards..and mounted the T.P. holder high above... to the right.. of where our shoulders wont hit it ..and a towel ring ...to the right above the bathroom sink...just be aware before drilling.. of any thing ...that could be behind any mounting area ...like wiring ...and... a pink line in a TV sounds like a defect
