Description:

This 9-inch TV/DVD combo is all about convenience, from its petite, kitchen-friendly size (roughly 12 inches cubed) to its full features and portability. That's right: the MD9DL1 is AC/DC capable, so you can run it off a standard electrical outlet or from your motor vehicle's cigarette lighter--it even comes with a car cord.

Video features
Toshiba's MD9DL1 offers a 9-inch CRT screen, full onscreen display for easy setup and operation, full closed captioning to assist those hard of hearing or new to the English language, and auto degauss to ensure regular maintenance. The DVD player's zoom and game modes enliven your movies and games.

Audio features
You'll get Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel outputs--hook it up with your surround-decoding AV receiver to enjoy immersive, multichannel surround sound; setup requires a surround speaker system as well. No such hookup is required, though, as you can always listen through the unit's front stereo speakers. SAP (second audio program) gives you alternate-language or other audio programming on specially encoded broadcasts.

Connections
Front AV input jacks let you plug in a camcorder, gaming console, VCR, or other device, and rear AV output jacks can feed a VCR or an AV receiver. Similarly, a coaxial (single RCA tip) digital-audio output fosters hookup with a surround-decoding AV receiver. At the other end of the spectrum, a 0.128-inch headphone jack grants the option of private listening.

Other features
Auto channel memory, auto channel set, and last channel recall make your TV viewing a breeze, while DVD parental lock and V-Chip parental control help you keep underage eyes from mature content. The MD9DL1 comes with a sleep timer and a multifunction, multikey remote control. The unit measures 12.26 by 10.98 by 12.3 inches and weighs 19.3 pounds.
