2004 342 TV Operation? How to get to work?
Hello All,
Been a Baja owner since 98 when I purchased a H2X new.... loved that boat... but it was time to upgrade. About 1 month ago I purchased a 2004 342 that was loaded and had everything I wanted in it.
This past month I have been shaking it out in Lake Havasu and getting to know the boat... I have one question about the TV in the cabin? Was there an original remote that come with this unit and was that the way you got it to function?
When I switch the stereo/TV toggle on the DC main the red lights come on for both the "AWESOME" (lol) VCR and also on the TV... but I can't seem to get it to do anything else.
When I look is the side cabinet I see what looks to be a TV antenna and another contraption that appears to be a signal booster?
Just looking for some insight on this system operation. I plan on upgrading that stuff over the winter time... but wonder if I just need to program my phone or direct tv remote I have lying around to get further past just the red lights on?
Thank for the answers in advance...
BTW. I used to be a regular on here and BajaBoatOwners back in the day... and love all the posts.

BUMP - Any help would be appreciated here... It has to be the same setup for most Baja that have the tv/vcr combos. I know my boat came with the CMD4 but now it has the CMD5 but the TV selections don't exist when looking through the menu. I'm guessing there used to be a remote for this setup to get into the VCR menu and that is what controlled the entire system?
I do have a VHS tape that give me tour of my boat so I will insert that and see what it gives me.
