Konka DT208U 20-Inch TV-DVD Combo
Very unusual package.
This made-in-China TV-DVD combo is a most inscrutable mix of good and bad. First of all, the TV tuner is very good and the TV picture is quite acceptable. In addition, the front-firing stereo speakers sound better than I had figured they would. On the less-than-pleased side of my ledger, the ergonomics are a laughable bust. There is no way you're going to plug this baby in and insert your first DVD in anything under 15 minutes. Why? Because the manual, which was written by someone with either very poor English or a very great sense of mischief, is an abomination. The remote is so confusing you'll want to toss it against the wall, and the controls on the set itself are almost  as bad. However, once you figure it out, it works pretty well. This venture reminds me of the early Japanese products of the 60s; they were not ready for US markets. This is in sharp contrast to Korean electronics, which seem to be ready for prime time the day they arrive. I'll write later on durability, but my hopes are not high.
