Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's 20-inch, two-head PV-C2023 offers monaural VHS recording and playback alongside FM radio reception and the viewing capabilities of a color television--perfect for kitchens, apartments, dormitories, or for anyone seeking the simplicity of combination entertainment. Auto channel scanning for TV and radio as well as auto clock setting make setup a cinch, while one-month, eight-event programming lets you record the shows you want on a consistent basis. Even better, your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the set's front panel for hassle-free connections. An earphone jack affords private listening.
The built-in FM radio offers nine-station preset memory. An onscreen display provides confirmation of the selected station, while the auto-scan function lets you skip through available stations until you find the one you want.
An easily overlooked but important feature is the unit's clock functions, consisting of a sleep timer (30, 60, and 90 minutes), a power-on timer, and a wake-up alarm. You can set the unit to turn off or on automatically, so you can doze off or wake to your favorite movie, TV show, FM station, or even to a traditional alarm-clock beep. Use the handy 60-minute timer to monitor various tasks. You can set it in 1-minute intervals up to 10 minutes, in 5-minute intervals from 10 to 40 minutes, and in 10-minute intervals from 40 to 60 minutes. Once set, the timer silently counts down the time and beeps when time has expired.
Commercial skip marks the beginning and end of each commercial break, so you can skip the commercials during recorded programs (it rolls past three minutes of commercials in about 25 seconds). Index search lets you zip right to your predefined index points, while program end search simplifies the process of readying an "in progress" cassette to record addition material. The set's trilingual onscreen display simplifies setup and shows tape status, and V-Chip parental control keeps young eyes off mature content.
A 24-hour power backup maintains settings through most power outages.

Customer Reviews
Great TV!
I've owned this set for almost half a year and it's great! I lost my Sylvania 13 incher and have found this set to be better than expectations! I enjoy all the little added bonuses of the radio, the timers and the easy-to-access TV options. The one downside is that some of my movies require stereo sound, which this TV doesn't have, but with adjustments to my DVD player, I can hear everything okay (I may invest in speakers eventually) Anyway, I really recommend this TV to anyone!
Great tv small price
I bought this tv for my Mother when she insisted on a white tv, I was a little concerned because it was so reasonable. When I opened the box and plugged it in I could not believe how crystal clear the picture was. The sound is great too, I recommend it highly.
Great unit for the price
I bought this for my 89 year old mom and she loves it. She watches her videos, listens to the radio and sees all her shows without much fussing at all. She enjoys television more now that she has access to close-captions. Recently I needed to replace a television of my own and opted to purchase this same unit. I tried the Toshiba 19" tv/vcr combo, but it gave me grief after three days. This is the one I'd recommend.
