Summary: JVC Fan
Review: I bought this TV to replace my 1980's 19" JVC that finally died and I love it (well sort of...). I first have to say that I have quite a number of JVC items, so it was natural that I look for another JVC. My wife insisted that the TV be no bigger than 20" so off I went to find a JVC that had multiple inputs (a feature I love about my 36") for my DVD and ReplayTV. it also had to have sleep settings (to turn the TV off, if we fall asleep) and possibly a headphone jack as our newborn son sleeps in our bedroom.Here is what I like about the unit:
* Clean Picture - Flat Screen (excellent on Component)
* Very compact frame (height, width)
* 4 Inputs (coax, 2 rear (1 composite/S-Video, 1 composite/Component), 1 front (Composite)
* 1 Output (Composite/Stereo)
* Headphone Jack (stereo, like the TV)
* Sleep Timer, Clock Timer (On/Off)
* No buzzing like I read in the AV20F703 reviews (previous model) What I don't like:
* You can't turn on/off the speakers like you can on the larger series
* The remote has all the right buttons for a TV/CBL/VCR/DVD, but the organization is poor ergonomically and it doesn't light-up or glow (but they were smart enough to include an eject button, a feature so often left off of multi-function remotes...)
* Menu is kind of clumsy for finding features (e.g. auto channel scan)
* Unit is still very deep (much deeper than my old 19"), which may spell trouble for those who want to put this in an amoire. Overall, this unit has incredible features for a 20" TV, but could use some refinement by actual consumers.
Otherwise, this unit would get 5 stars from this JVC Fan.
