Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Great for the bedroom, dorm, kitchen, or office, this compact combo unit delivers the quality of DVD and the convenience of VHS recording and playback, all with Toshiba's classy silver exterior and well-designed core. Besides looking great, the set's pure-flat tube eliminates unwanted reflections from room light and affords a broader viewing angle than conventional tubes.

The four-head hi-fi stereo VCR offers eight-event, one-month programming. Its four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, while hi-fi sound records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic sound from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes.

Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to an audio-video receiver. An auto-repeat feature proves useful for trade shows or retail applications. Side-firing speakers offer a broad stereo "image" for TV or tapes. Front-panel audio-video inputs accommodate hookups of a camcorder or gaming console, while a front-panel headphone jack grants listening privacy.

One-touch record simplifies setup of the timer for recording within a 24-hour period; one button starts record and allows setting of record length. A sleep timer saves energy and a wake timer makes a convenient alternative to a clock radio. Violent or sexually explicit programming can be identified and blocked using a V-chip, prohibiting viewing by young children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Has it all!, June 20, 2002

This review is from: Toshiba MW20FM1 20-Inch Pure Flat Screen TV-DVD-VCR Combo (Electronics)

This unit has it all... DVD/VHS/Flat screen 20" TV, perfect for a bedroom. Picture is great, the VCR is extremely quiet and because it is integrated you don't lose quality in plugging your cable connector into a VCR and then separately feeding the VCR to TV. It has a lovely display outwardly and clean presentation in a room (less cords and cables). I have it waking me up each morning M-Fri and turning off when I should be walking out the door. It's fun.

The 4 rating instead of 5 is due to the following: The remote control is poorly designed with very small and unnaturally located channel and volume buttons when usually these are the most prominent things on a remote. Likewise, the DVD menu navigation buttons are even smaller and tough to maneuver. I suggest buying a universal remote (make sure it has DVD capability). Also docked for inability to record one show and watch another simultaneously, but this is a fundamental, I'm sure, to integrated TV/VCRs, and if you have a cable box with a different television you couldn't anyway. One other thing, when you change the channel the "stereo" display reference to sound setting is really low on the screen.

I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, three in one, for the $$$ spent!!, July 21, 2002

This review is from: Toshiba MW24FM1 24-Inch Pure Flat Screen TV-DVD-VCR Combo (Electronics)

I bought this set to replace a JVC unit that I did not like the color or sound on. We have been pleased with the flat screen picture tube which has less distortion on the sides than other tubes and the sound and color are great. You can make fine adjustments via the menu driven controls on the remote. The VCR and DVD units are also easy to use and high quality to view. Everything is easy to control via just one remote. I would buy another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful picture-problem with VCR, November 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Toshiba MW24FM1 24-Inch Pure Flat Screen TV-DVD-VCR Combo (Electronics)

This set really has a vivid robust looking picture and I thought I had purchased the perfect TV/DVD/VCR at a reasonable price until a tape got stuck in the unit. It's going back to the store for an exchange, but you can bet that I will be getting the same model again 'cause this is one nice looking TV. All you have to do is plug it in and you're ready to go-no more tangled cables and multiple remotes-everything you need is built right into this one unit. Also,the DVD section worked fine, and does not pixelate at all unlike some other DVD players I have tried.
