Rating: - Excellent product, three in one, for the $$$ spent!!
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.

Rating: - Very nice, but be forewarned!
I just got this and really fell in love with it. It looks so cool and is just the right size. Unfortunately, last night I discovered that it is impossible to watch one channel while recording another, which was so easy to do with my old VCR/TV set up. No where in the owner's manual does it address this--it just says you can't use the VCR while taping a show. (Duh!) Nothing about the rest of your channels. You can watch a DVD while taping something off the TV, but part of the appeal of VCRs is the ability to watch one thing while taping another. It is kind of a minor thing, but if it is important to you, you might want to keep looking. I sort of wish I'd just bought a TV/DVD combo and a like brand VCR--I wanted to get avoid having too many remotes. I think this remote is maybe a little too complex and the buttons are too small and too close together. Other than that, though, this is one nice piece of machinery!!

Rating: - Has it all!
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!
