Description:

Great for the bedroom, dorm, kitchen, or office, the 20-inch MD20FN1 delivers the quality of DVD and the convenience of a combo unit, all with Toshiba's classy silver exterior and well-designed core. Front-panel audio/video inputs accommodate hookups of a camcorder or gaming console, while a front-panel headphone jack grants listening privacy. A key on the included remote control switches between the TV and the front inputs when a gaming device is connected.

The MD20FN1's FST PURE Flat picture tube widens viewing angles and heightens picture linearity relative to traditional tube designs, delivering accurate, life-like images. Its digital comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped t-shirt).

The set offers stereo sound through two front-firing, side-mounted speakers. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to an audio/video receiver.

Other DVD features include picture zoom, video CD playback, and a parental lock that secures a disc in the tray through a user-selectable onscreen code. This is perfect for securing retail demonstrations, as well as for keeping children from removing--or inserting--a specific music or movie title.

Auto channel memory simplifies TV setup, and StableSound keeps commercials from blaring forth twice as loud as the movie they just interrupted. Have the set turn off after a preset duration when viewing in the evening using the built-in sleep timer, and block violent or sexually explicit programming using V-Chip.
