JVC TV20F242 20-Inch Flat Screen TV/ VCR Combo
A lot of bang for the bucks - versatile, sensible and sleek
I stumbled onto this wonderful little TV/VCR recently when I was out looking to replace my VCR and found the selection in all the stores in Houston woefully small  -- even the big electronics superstores in America's third largest city have only a few quality VCR models in stock. DVDs are unfortunately killing off VCRs prematurely and yes, Virginia some of us still tape things off TV. I hadn't considered a TV/VCR combo as all I had ever seen were those dinky cheesy little 9&quot; jobs that look like they'd break if you looked at them funny. <br />But while dashing through a Sam's Warehouse Club looking for a decently made VCR I found this gem of a combo. It has a crisp vibrant 20&quot; FLAT screen MTS stereo TV and a FOUR head STEREO Hi-Fi VCR built in.... Testing out one of my Columbia House Law &amp; Order tapes, I was floored by how beautiful it looked even in fast-forward or rewind. <br />This unit isn't loaded with every feature known to mankind, but most of the logical and useful ones are there (front &amp; rear A/V inputs and an old-fashioned RF input, a pair of front firing speakers, SAP, 2-line digital comb filter, close captioning, on-screen 3 language VCR menu or VCR Plus+, skip search to get through commercials on your tapes, auto clock set, 1 month 8 event timer and auto tracking to name the bread &amp; butter features). The remote control is logically laid out for a combo with so many extras and yet there are still nice big buttons on the unit itself (if you like doing the basics the old fashioned way). Plus it has a stylish silver cabinet and is actually quite a bit shallower in the back than you might expect... this combo is fairly priced... you should snap one up!
