Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
We have had this unit for several years and have not experienced any of the problems other reviewers have listed here. We use this primary in our minivan on trips, and sometimes at our destination. My only complaint is how loud it is in the front seat when the unit is between and behind the front two seats. But, I'm looking into headphones for the kids to get rid of that.

Review 3 of 8

Price Paid:  $98.00 from Fred Meyers

Summary:
Don't buy this piece of poo poo. After using the VCR a few times, a tape got eaten in the thing. It wouldn't eject and became stuck halfway out. After spending an hour getting the tape out, I try turning it on. The TV works for about 5 seconds, then turns off automatically when trys to eject a non-existant tape. I even opened the set and completly removed the VCR from the circuit board and it still won't work! Bah!

Strengths:
Inexpensive TV/VCR combo

Weaknesses:
VCR is utterly doggie doo! The tape carriage is made too flimsy and tapes will get eaten and stuck. No way to disable VCR when broken to watch TV. Poop!

Similar Products Used:
None. Will never buy a combo-anything again!

Review 5 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
First time used, the VCR would not accept tape, it kept ejecting right away. Took back to Best Buy and they charged me $80.00 to repair because I had in box for 6 months before using. After another 4-5 uses, it will not stay on for more than a few seconds. Worst TV I have ever had.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
