TELEVISION RECEPTION This entertainment system is designed primarily for viewing pre-recorded movies or playing video games. Television reception in a moving vehicle will be limited and in some areas will not be possible due to weak and variable signal strength. Television viewing in a stationary vehicle will result in an improvement, but may still be marginal due to signal strength.
