Summary: Well Featured and attractive for the price....
Review: When compared to other name brand Dual Decks, this Toshiba beats them hands down on price/feature. Component out hook up was a plus and the VCR worked great the few times that I have used it.Toshiba always ranks very high on the Consumer Reports brand reliabilty charts, so I am very confident this unit will last.

Summary: Broke in 3 weeks and can't play MP3 CDs as advertised
Review: When I bought this combo system I assumed that in exchange for convenience and space saving there would be some compromises. Unfortunately there are a little too many. First, the unit cannot play back MP3 CDs as advertised. It lost about half of the songs from each CD I tried, it broke individual songs into multiple files, it messed up directory structure -- in short, forget about using it to playback your MP3 collection. It is clear that the MP3 functionality was tacked on as an afterthought - and not very well. Instructions regarding MP3 playback do not even appear in the (indecipherable) manual, but rather are found on an (equally indecipherable) piece of paper shipped with the unit. Since MP3 playback was a big selling point for me, I was rather disappointed. A second annoyance is that the remote control does not work with my new Toshiba TV. Nor does the Toshiba TV remote work with the VCR/DVD. This is just ridiculous. My main complaint however is that the unit simply stopped working 3 weeks after I bought it. The entire electrical system just shorted out - I couldn't even eject the tape and DVD that were in it. Amazingly, there is a Toshiba certified repair center nearby. They promise to have it fixed about 3 weeks. Great. Update - Two weeks later, I received a call from the Toshiba Authorized Service Center saying that they don't know how to fix the unit. I was told to call Toshiba customer support. Toshiba says they will looking it, but are non-commital doing anything.

Summary: Electrical System broke in 6 weeks
Review: Whole thing broke down - no way to eject disks. Toshiba repair claiming "lightening or power surge" and refusing to back warrantee (there was no lightening, and if there was a power surge, it didn't affect our computers at all...)
