“Consolidate, consolidate!” It's not just for businesses any more, many pieces of technology are doing the same. Whether it's a laser pointer built into a pen, or a multi-function printer, manufacturers are squeezing more items together and taking up less space while they do it.
Toshiba's contribution to this trend is this inexpensive VCR/DVD combination. The four head recorder plays and records standard VHS tapes and records in SP/SLP speeds with Hi-Fi Stereo sound. Because of the prevalence of set-top tuners these days, it has no internal tuner of its own. The single disk DVD player reads a variety of DVD and CD formats including VCD (video CD) and displays JPEG images as well.
Looking for an inexpensive addition to that modular entertainment center you're building? Perhaps you should consider this unit from Toshiba. I'll just stand over here and wait patiently while you give it some thought.

Great item and Great Price
- Pros: Sleek look, easy to hook up, plays great.
- Cons: none so far
