Summary: great system
Review: I bought this combination TV/DVD/VCR 2 months ago. No problems with the system - great video and sound, no problems with either the VCR or DVD.
The only feature I am disappointed in is the inability to watch a different TV station while recording on the VCR. Because the VCR functions are linked with the TV functions, you cannot change the channel to view another station while recording on the VCR.

Summary: Superb TV, worst remote
Review: I bought this TV about 2 months ago. The picture quality is fantastic, truely real colors. I have 2 other TVs and this one simply stands out in terms of picture quality - its picture quality is truely exceptional. Its got lot of useful functions too, especially the alarm(daily, weekly, weekend etc) TOP 5 STARS!!

I won't appreciate the sound system 'coz it is very low-end when sound is compared...absolutely no bass, speakers distort at high volume -they really could have amplified the sound system the give out righer bass. 3 STARS!!

But the worst is yet to come - the REMOTE!! It sucks!
I guess they we're totally exhausted at the time of designing it. Nothing seems to be in sync, no ease of use. Most of the remote(even the cheapest ones) would atleast differentiate sound and channel buttons, but here they're not. Some of the buttons are really hard to find for their functionality. Moreover, each button has more than one function and it is always confusing to get to the right function, expecially when using DVD player controls. You might wanna buy an after market remote for easy use. Absolutely NO STARS!!

Summary: a complete entertainment center
Review: I purchased this tv combo, last October, 2003, when it was first available. I shopped around, extensibly, for a complete unit, in the under $500.00, price category. My real problem was how large the units were, other brands, that I checked out were LARGER, than the Toshiba. I was using the TV in a space that couldn't be adjusted for size. This is why, I rate it 4stars, and not 5, because even though it was a bit smaller than the others, IT IS STILL TOOOO LARGE.
Everything else is really good about it. I'd call it a QUALITY PRODUCT, and the AMAZON price is great, plus free shipping; hard to beat.

Summary: End of a happy dream
Review: I really beleived in Toshiba. We had 1 TV that lasted 15 years without a single problem. This model was exactly what I wanted,
for about 3 months. The DVD player quit. Into the authorized repair shop, 6 weeks and the parts were still not available. I suggested it should be replaced. I shipped mine back, $120.00, and they shipped a new set. Great service I thought. The DVD has quit again 6 months later. I quit! I can't face another fight or expensive return. Skip this model!

Summary: Can't watch TV & record video at same time
Review: I returned the MW20FP1 Toshiba TV/VCR/DVD combo because it does not allow you to watch one channel while recording on another. This is because it only has one tuner and when that tuner is occupied recording a program you cannot change the channel.

On the positive side, the picture was very good and the DVD and VHS play were intuitive.

Summary: So Far, VERY GOOD
Review: I upgraded from a 13" TV/VCR combo to this 3 way combo and have been very impressed after 3 months of occasional use. The best features of this unit are the excellent picture and sound quality & the simplicity of having everything together (no wires to mess with). The downside is that the remote control is rather crowded and takes quite some time to be comfortable with. Also, this is a heavy unit & awkward to move. I was somewhat wary of the overall quality of this Toshiba before purchase (based on others' reviews) and nervous that the DVD player would be too delicate. Having been very careful, I have not yet had a problem. So Far, VERY GOOD Overall. Certainly better picture quality that an LCD screen. I

Summary: BAD PURCHASE - Combination creates problem
Review: We purchased the TV-VCR combo and the very first day there was a blank screen with line across the TV. So we exchanged and bought another piece and the new piece had the same problem. We were then told at the shop that the combo has problems and so we will be settling for TV only model. DON'T PURCHASE THIS MODEL TO SAVE MONEY. A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS MAY BE WELL WORTH IT.
