Sorry, but I can't recommend this unit. We Purchased this combo for use in the kids bedroom as well as roadtrips. It worked well for the first 4 months - then the dvd went out. While the parts were covered for a year, the labor had just expired and repair was going to cost $150.00 - virtually the cost of a new unit. I wish I had positive things to say about it, but unfortunately we had some bad luck. If you absolutely insist on this set, do yourself a favor and get an extended warranty so you don't take it in the shorts come repair time.

I purchased this item at one of the Warehouse clubs. The price was good and the set worked fine for the first two months. During this time, I did not use the DVD mode on the set. When getting ready to go on a driving trip, I decided to test the DVD portion of the TV. After putting a DVD in the tray, the player would not function. The TV portion and AUX mode were still functioning correctly, but whenever I tried to play the DVD or even open the tray to get the DVD out, the TV would make a few noises then power off. Luckily this happened within the first three months and I was able to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. I would not buy this product again. I ended up replacing it with a similar Toshiba branded unit and hopefully will have better luck with it.

Purchased this TV/DVD combo new. The TV continues to work fine. The DVD player worked for about 3 months [Through the warranty for labor] and will no longer read or play DVD's. Look around the Internet; this seems to be a very common problem with this product. I will never buy another Sylvania [FUNAI] product ever again!

I bought this piece of junk at one of the warehouse stores. After a year the DVD headed south. I wouldn't reccomend this unit to anyone.

Bought this from a warehouse store about six months and haven't had a lick of problems with it. It's used mainly to watch dvds on. No problems with picture, sound, etc. Satisfied.

I bought this for my daughter last year for her birthday and the dvd player stopped working after 2 months. I exchanged it for another one and it did better, 6 months before it died completely.

I was looking for something that I could use in front of the treadmill for TV, DVDs and MP3 CDs. I ran across this at one of the warehouse stores and thought I'd found heaven. And I could use it in the car on trips to entertain the kiddo.

Well, not what I was expecting.

For one thing, there isn't an closed captioning, which is nice if the spouse doesn't want to listen to the news with me.

Also, the menu system can only be accessed via the hard-to-see-and-use remote control (even more so while running). And the menu system is lacking features that are standard on most DVD and TVs.

The tuner sensitivity was below average, leaving most channels snowy and difficult to watch over the rabbit-ears. Picture quality was what was expected on DVDs.

I ended up returning it and am still looking for a solution. I will probably end up with a DVD/VCR combo deck and a seperate TV...<sigh>
