We bought this for our kitchen and we love it. with the screen folded away it is rather incinspicuous. pull down the screen and you get a sharp bright picture from most viewing angles. Features galore in this small unit- am/fm, alarm, clock, speakerphone. Full featured remote control that's easy to use. my only complaint was with the installation. The template was difficult to allign with the cabinet and space behind the unit for connecting cables was minimal so I had to attach the cables before mounting it under our wall mount cabinets. overall a happy purchase

I read the reviews from other people. The guy who didn't like the speakers, must like it very loud. The volumne and quality is very good. For a normal size kitchen, its loud enough. The picture is very clear. We connected it to our cable and its a beautiful picture. My only complaint is because its a flat screen, you must view from straight on. But this is true of all flat screens. The man who said you have very little room to connect is right on. So, we connected all wires first, then hung it up under the cabinet,This worked out well.I would recommend this product to anyone who will use it often, as the price is a bit high.

The space behind the unit is too little to comfortably connect all of the wires, especially things like the AV cables and audio out. I recommend doing all of your wiring ahead of time and verifying space behind the unit before screwing anything in. The speakers on the unit are very poor, but I anticipated this and wired a 3 piece computer speaker set to the unit. It sounds good and I would recommend doing similar for others purchasing the unit, no sense not spending an extra $30-$100 for nice sound. The remote is not a credit card sixed magnetic remote, rather it is a "real" remote but works fine. I don't like that you must change to "DVD" to open the DVD/CD tray, if you attempt to do this in TV or radio mode it will change to preset #6(alternate use of the button).

With the exception of the above complaints I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend this product to others. I'm pressuring Audiovox support to release specs regarding what bitrates of MP3s are acceptible, what sort of burnable media will work, etc. but they are so far not much help. Most CD-R/RW media types seem to work fine, there is an 11 character limit for folder and file names and ID3 tags are not used, just filenames. You must have exactly 1 level of folders in your root directory of an MP3 cd with the songs in those folders.

Anyone know of a forum or support site for these things?

This item was delivered this past Thursday and took only minutes to install under my kitchen cabinet. My husband installed it himself before I arrived home. The picture clarity is amazing and being able to view DVD's while working in the kitchen is just fantastic. The remote control is easy to use and programing the unit is so simple. We purchased this unit to replace a "space saver" tv that we had for 10 years. This set with the built-in DVD player, flip up tv screen, radio and telephone is so compact, it's unbelievable. It has such a neat clean appearance that would fit in any decor. And you can't beat the price. We shopped around a great deal prior to purchasing this set and Amazon had the best price, fast shipping and a reputation for customer satisfaction, so we knew it was the only way to go!

Just a little over 12 months, or the length of a warrenty the unit deprogrammed itself from receiving anything but off air channels. After reading other reviews of audiovox drop down TV's I believe this to be a common problem. Cable is now useless on this tv. It has been well cared for and there was no other reason for the change to 2-13. I purchased the product 11-2003 through another online service. At over 600$ I'm more than a little let down. The fun ended when the tuner went south with the warrenty.

This is a very nice product, combining a dvd/cd/mp3 player with flat screen tv and radio functions. Most of these undercounter units are much smaller and don't include the player function. The 10.4 inch display is really about as small as you want to go for decent visibility if you're working in the kitchen.

Only real minus is that you should be fairly handy to mount the unit. Four screws have to go straight up through the unit for mounting. There's a template, but this really is a two person job, and all the connections must be made before mounting.

We loved this TV for 4 months. Than it died. It's a lot of money for something that doesn't last more than a few months. We're VERY disappointed.

What a terrific product. Great screen, easy to install, sounds and looks great. Love all the features and the easy to use controls. This has totally changed our kitchen -- how did we life without it?

Super price. Very nice item. Clear screen. Looks great in our home. Good communication regarding the status of our purchase. Would make another Amazon purchase in the future.

We purchased the Audiovox under the cabinet TV/DVD unit. The volume button on the remote control did not work. We returned it for another. The second one did not work either. The DVD player on the unit did not work. We returned the unit to the store where we purchased it for our money back. Don't waste your money on this item.
