Advantages: Looks and performs the part.

Disadvantages: Not stereo.

This is probably one of the best Tv/video combis around. In a sleek silver casing with front side mounted speakers and 21 inch screen, it really looks the part. But, does it perform?
Yes. When you plug it in for the first time, just go to auto start, and the machine does the rest. All terrestial channels tune in automatically. Sound and picture quality are very good, and the smooth video play/rew/ffwd are totally quiet.

The videoplus is adequate, the programming menu appearing on the screen. PDC is an added bonus in that you never miss the beginning or ending of a program ever again because of late running schedules.
PDC ensures that the video will only record when the desired program starts and finishes.

A few other gadgets and gimmicks, like 8 page fast text, and one-touch playback, etc, are there for those that want to master all the combi's functions. On the front of the tv is an ear jack, and audio and AV2 Video input sockets to connect a video camera to, for example.
For added security, there is an Anti-theft pin code that, similar to car stereos, has to be entered if the Tv has been unplugged for more than three minutes. It may not stop a thief from taking the machine, but at least it will frustrate him!
I thoroughly reccommend the Aiwa VX-D2120k as it is a capable piece of equipment with all the features you need, without being complicated.
Costwise, well here's the best part.I bought mine from Macros for £270.
(A comparable Tv/video from most other manufacturers are between £350-450.)For two weeks, starting April 4, there is an extra £30 taken off the asking price. An absolute bargain. If you have a Macros card, then get on down there before they all go!
