Great for the bedroom, dorm, kitchen, or office, the 20-inch MW20FN1 delivers the quality of DVD and the convenience of a VCR, all in one space-saving unit cased in Toshiba’s classy silver exterior. The set’s FST PURE flat tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed. Front-panel audio/video inputs accommodate hookups of a camcorder or gaming console, while a front-panel headphone jack grants listening privacy.

The four-head, hi-fi/stereo VCR offers eight-event, one-month programming and digital auto tracking. The set offers stereo sound through two front-firing speakers, which derive a heightened sense of stereo separation from their double-baffle design. 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.

Use the “on” timer as an alarm clock to wake up to your favorite movie, or have the set turn off automatically when viewing in the evening (up to 360 minutes in either case). Violent or sexually explicit programming can be identified and blocked using V-Chip, prohibiting viewing by young children.

What’s in the Box
TV combo unit, remote control, batteries, user’s manual, warranty information.

Like another reviewer, I received the unit with some dents in the frame along the bottom, front-right side. The box and packing materials were in good shape, so this appears to be a Toshiba quality control issue, unrelated to the retailer or shipper. On the positive side, it was very easy to connect and configure. The user guide is adequate, reasonably easy to understand, and well illustrated. If you have special connectivity requirements, you won’t find any of the necessary cables in the box. Picture quality on the flat screen is excellent, and the sound quality is also very good, better still passed through my bookshelf hi-fi system. This was true for cable TV, VHS and DVD playback. I chose an old tape for VCR testing purposes, and I was very happy with the color, sharpness, and audio. I picked a “difficult” DVD disk — i.e., dual-layer, “funky” color/surface/reflectivity factor — and was surprised that it played flawlessly, first try. This “killer” disk has defeated a number of other players, so I’ve decided to keep the unit I received, dents and all. Like they say, handsome is as handsome does.
