We purchased this from our favorite site Amazon. We returned it after several days of total furstration. They sent another brand new. We called electricians, cable guys, purchased the special cords cable box and had our cabinet maker customize the space to accomadate it. IT WONT WORK!!! one moth later after doing all this we still cant watch anything or paly music on it and now our refund page expired. Dont bother with this item it is a luxuray no one can afford because it wont work EVER!

Bought at Target, luckily they accepted the return of this turd. Nearly impossible to operate radio controls with the buttons on the unit. Had to make sure that the remote was handy. Sound quality was atrocious, so much so that I returned before I hooked up the TV signal.

Dysfunctional - Poorly Engineered - Not in the 21st Century
This product was purchased on sale as a gift and left unopened until the actual birthday 4 months later. Never in a bazillion years would we have imagined that a television set manufactured in this century would be incapable of processing cable TV signals!! Unfortunately, by the time the gift was opened and connected to the household cable, the 90 day return policy from the store had expired. We now owned a dysfunctional, under-the-cabinet television by Memorex.
After contacting the store's customer service and being denied a return, we were told to call Memorex...which is actually Imation Electronics. After trying to understand the language they spoke and dinking around for a couple telephone calls, I finally was able to talk to someone that understood English. The rep came right out and told me that this "television" could not operate off the cable system...I would need to hook it up to a cable box. I asked if the mounting brackets for the cable box were included...he was stumped at first but then responded with a "no". I asked if they recommended I use Velcro straps to mount it to the underside of the under-cabinet TV. No response. I mean, how flippin' fabulous would this look?!! It was at this opportune moment when I announced that it would be a little ridiculous to mount the TV under the counter so I could save countertop space...but then occupy this saved space with a stupid cable box! He said I had the option of using a digital broadcast antenna to receive my local channels. Wow...what a fix!! I asked him to check the year on his calendar to make sure it said 2009, not 1958. With the product box in hand...I explained to the poor customer service rep, that there was no indication...WHAT SO EVER...on the box that stated it required either a cable converter or a broadcast antenna system in order to operate. I went on to say it simply stated it was a DVD/TV - Radio...giving any consumer the idea it was a 21st century television set. Complete FALSE and MISLEADING advertising.
After thinking about it for a week, Imation agreed to issue me an RMA and refund my money. After another week, I received the RMA instructions and shipping label in the mail...they were going to send it via Email, but obviously that didn't work for them either. To top it off...they didn't include a pre-paid USPS or UPS shipping tag...so I am suppose to pay for return shipping. Not only do they falsely advertise their product, but Imation/Memorex also prides themselves on cheap customer service practices. I can only hope that they don't loose the TV during this whole return process...and I receive my refund by Christmas...2010.
I won't be purchasing as much as a blank CD or DVD with the name Memorex or Imation on it for a long period of time.

We bought this tv for our kitchen, only to find out that it needed to cable box to get any channels. After finally hooking it up, it worked for approximately 2 months. After numerous calls to Memorex, we ended sending it back - it took 2 1/2 months and daily phone calls to get the tv back. When my husband hooked it back up, IT STILL DIDN'T WORK! Same problem as we sent it back for. Avoid the hassle, do not buy this product!

My wife bought us one of these for Christmas. First we tried DVD's and were pleased, radio works and finally I tried an OTA antenna, but inside the house and it picked up about a dozen channels. I was not satisfied with this (no fault of the TV) so I put the antenna in the attic and now I get ALL local channels and in digital HD so there is no static. Very happy with my set-up now. Have not tried with CATV. Bottom line is the unit is fine for OTA broadcast if you have a really good signal. BTW, I used a $10 antenna. Trick is to get the antenna up as high as possible.
