Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic PV-DF2000 is a convenient all-in-one color TV, DVD player, and VHS video system that eliminates the need to connect wires between your TV and VCR. The self-contained unit is easy to move and has a PureFlat picture tube for high-quality video reproduction. Special features include a three-line digital comb filter, VCR Plus+ programming, four-head video system, commercial skip, and program-end search.

The PureFlat picture tube delivers natural images from corner to corner, getting rid of the distortion that comes with conventional curved screens. So no matter where you sit in the room, you're guaranteed the best picture possible. With the three-line digital comb filter, dot crawl and cross-color interference are minimized in order to produce a superb picture.

This combo unit features a stereo sound system. A built-in MTS tuner receives stereo broadcasts, while the separate audio program (SAP) allows the sight impaired to enjoy special narration. SAP can also be used to receive broadcasts in other languages. The auto scan feature lets you scan through stations automatically to find what you want to hear.

The PV-DF2000 includes two video heads dedicated to recording and playback in the SP mode and two dedicated to the SLP mode. With four heads, picture quality is vastly improved in each of the respective speeds. The four heads also lend themselves to noiseless field still, double-fine slow, and double-speed playback, plus high-speed OmniSearch.

The VCR Plus+ feature makes it simple to program your VCR. Every program has a PlusCode number that can be found in most newspaper and magazine TV listings. All you have to do is enter this number, and your timer is automatically set.

The time stamp feature helps you recognize what you've recorded onto a particular tape by tagging the beginning of each new recording and displaying the starting date and time, ending time, and the channel it was taped from. During playback, you can press the CM Zero button to advance the tape in one-, two-, or three-minute increments, letting you skip unwanted scenes or commercials. By simply pressing the Search button twice, you'll jump right to the end of the current recorded program, allowing easy access to the next one.

The included universal illuminated remote control operates most TVs and cable or satellite boxes, helping reduce the number of remote controls you have lying around.

Other convenience features include the V-chip parental lockout, which allows parents to block out specific channels so children won't be subjected to inappropriate material, and auto clock set with backup, which sets the clock automatically, using the Extended Data Service signal from your local PBS channel and resets the clock in the event of a power outage.

The Panasonic PV-DF2000 combo unit comes with a warranty of a year on parts and 90 days on labor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Audio quality, May 28, 2001

This review is from: Panasonic PV-DF2000 20" Pure Flat TV-DVD-VCR Combo (Electronics)

I have owned the Panasonic Pure Flat Combo Unit for a couple of months - The DVD and CD Audio quality was so bad when I fired it up that I called Panasonic - they had me send the unit to an authorized repair service for a check. I was told by the service tech. that it meets Panasonic specifications - even though he admitted that the sound quality was poor.

Picture quality is good, and having the TV,DVD,CD,VCR and FM radio in one unit is very convenient - no wires to connect either.

I just wish that the sound from the internal speakers was at least up to the quality of the other TV's I own. The simulated surround feature is a joke considering the poor quality sound.
