INTRODUCTION
The Cowsh VanPlayer turns your caravan TV into a full blown Media Player.
Powered by Android TV, the VanPlayer gives your TV the smarts to connect
to the internet and stream your favourite content from Netix, YouTube and
other online streaming providers. Connect the VanPlayer to your WiFi network
and stream all your favourite content whilst on the road.
Through Netix and other streaming services, you also have the option to
download movies and TV shows onto your device so that you can watch them
at a later stage. Simply download your favourite content when the caravan is
sitting on your driveway and you can watch your movies and shows later in
your trip, even when you do not have any internet.
You can also play movies and music from a USB storage device directly
plugged into the VanPlayer, or even stream it over your wireless network with
the Cowsh VanConnect system.
With the Google Play Store pre-installed you are able to download your
favourite 2D and retro games and turn the VanPlayer into a lightweight
Gaming System. Ideal for keeping you and the kids entertained on those rainy
days.

HARDWARE OVERVIEW
IMPORTANT

keys), please change to mouse mode and navigate through the app that
way.

volume level on the VanPlayer unit, not the volume level on your TV. The
VanPlayer comes standard with the volume set to medium. Use the VanPlayer
remote to set the volume of the VanPlayer to your desired level. If you unable
to hear any sound, please check the volume setting of the VanPlayer AND the
volume setting of your TV, as these are separate.
The VanPlayer remote is an IR (infrared) remote controller. Point the remote
to the VanPlayer to use the remote controller. The VanPlayer has a sensor
located at the front of the unit behind a window.
