I buy and receive this unit and have have it about a week . it be ok for the price and a very entry level system . however , any video or audio buff will be very disappointed . this unit be average all the way around . the dvd player be a dvd player , nothing amazaing , the VCR work , the AM\/FM radio work but the antenna and reception be way below average these day , the sound be ok and possibly a bit below average for this low end unit . overall , for a 2nd system , a very small room , a child , etc this be a reasonable unit . for you main system there be many better option - seperate the VCR from the dvd home theater would get you a much better unit and then just pick up a low cost VCR . nothing impress I about this Toshiba . its barely average all the way around . own a higher end Toshiba , this be a disappointment . the remote control color scheme and reflectiveness make it very difficult to read , small button , confuse menu system , non-lighted remote . I give it 2 star because it do play dvd and video fine . however , its radio , sound , remote , and menu 's be way below average . better off with a cheapie end Koss , Audiovox , etc unit . this Toshiba replace a older broken go video unit for someone who require dvd\/vcr . the GO video unit be several year old and be consider entry level low end at the time . however , it perform better than the Toshiba . the GO video lack the CDRW , mp3 , AM\/FM , etc feature common on today 's current model though . to sum it up , I would pass this unit by and either look at the lower price unit or seperate component and spend more money on a better overall setup .
