Summary: Bang for the buck
Review: Based on past reviews, it looks like this is a love-it-or-hate-it sort of product. Put me in the "love it" category...mostly. We bought it for our kids, but it's moved to our bedroom. Sorry!

It's affordable and performs as advertised. Whaddyawant for such a low price?

Pros:
- Loop feature (play a tape again and again until it breaks)
- FM radio
- Auto-clock set
- Usual features like sleep, v-chip, A/V input
- Compact and easy to relocate

Cons:
- Mono, not stereo
- A/V input is front; nothing in rear

Summary: Never Again
Review: I have purchased 2 of these TV/VCR combo's. The first one lost it's red color intermittently and had to go to the shop 4 different times. The second one, stopped sucking in the tapes. They would go half way in, stop and come back out. It was also in the shop 4 times. The 5th time it stopped working, I gave the TV/VCR away to someone that didn't need the VCR, just the TV.

Yes the TV's were still under warranty but only for the parts. Labor is where the real costs lie. I paid enough in repairs to replace both TV's again. Each time the part cost less than 10 cents. So I've stopped throwing good money after bad.

BTW the only 'authorised' repair place was over a 50 mile round trip.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: I haven't had any major problems with this TV.. it seems fine. I don't really understand the negative reviews--it's got great features at a good price, and seems to work well. Picture quality is good, as is the VCR and internal radio feature (which I actually didn't know it had, but am very happy to know about now!)... my only problem is in the menu system, a characteristic Panasonic failure.

It's a good deal, and has good features. Overall, an extremely worthwhile investment. We bought this to replace an identical version of the same model which lasted us a good three years--in that time, Panasonic hasn't seen fit to change it (if it ain't broke...). This baby isn't going anywhere!

Summary: The best of its kind!
Review: I was shopping for a while, trying to determine the ideal TV/VCR combo for our bedroom, and after much looking, I stumbled upon this model by Panasonic, which does that and more. Beside nicely and lightly (32 lbs) integrating a 13" and a 2-head VCR, the combo offers FM (8 memories for your favorite stations) and it can wake you up to TV, Radio or a VHS movie! Since it comes in two colors (white and black) you can pick the one that best suits the place where you will be enjoying it.

To top this, given its price, if you are not in a rush, you can get free shipping for it, which makes it an even better option because of its low price. One warning only: make sure you stick to the recommendation in the box. Don't turn it on the first time unless the antenna you will be using is already plugged: before anything else, it does an auto-tuning, to pick up your local channels.

Summary: Panasonic Winner
Review: Love the set. I have had no problems whatsoever and I highly reccommend this inexpensive combo unit to anyone. Setting up the VCR was a breeze and the remote is user friendly.

Review: The product arrived on time, BUT the VCR portion did not work.

Summary: VCR Problems
Review: This is exactly what we were looking for; however, we have the 20" model. It sounds like the same poor quality control. Our VCR will not accept all tapes. Most of them get spat right back out at us. It has never worked right, and I have to take it back for exchange. It sounds like the replacement will most likely have the same problems. I expected much better quality from Panasonic. Our cheapy Emerson combo the kids use all day everyday continues to work flawlessly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great little TV
Review: We have found this to be a great little TV. We bought it for a bedroom, but have found that the color and sound are far better than our large family room TV! We've owned it for two years now with not one problem. The VCR works great! Would not hesitate to buy another in the future.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Won't Accept Tapes
Review: We were really excited to have such a cute little TV VCR combo, but the VCR spit out most of the tapes that we tried to play on it. We called customer service and they couldn't reccommend anything besides send it back. So we did.
