Default Problems with the DVD wireless headphones

Hi Peter
I've been reading your posts about the XC90 DVD system. I recently bought a nice 53 plate with the system I think you designed. It has a Thomson transmitter adjacent to the battery. It did not come with headphones so I purchased some wireless headphones from Maplins. I got a weak signal with a lot of static and on further investigation I have discovered a problem with the transmitter. The red power light comes on for about 20 seconds and then goes out. I've played with the lead but to no avail. I'm not sure if it's the power supply or the Thomson unit. The headphones worked well when the unit was powered for that short period. Any ideas? The wire aerial is very short (3 inches) and was tied in a loop. I untied it and straightened it and got a better signal. I'm thinking that a wire extension to this aerial would improve the signal more. What do you think?

Regards
Mark
