Product Description
Toshiba 15DLV77 15" LCD TV DVD ComboAmazon.com Product Description
Now you can play your entertainment library on one versatile machine. Since the 15DLV77 has both a DVD player and a 15-inch screen, you won't have to worry about connecting different electronic components in order to watch your favorite program. This convenience is matched only by its smart, stylish design.The Value of LCD TVs
Aside from their obvious aesthetic value, LCD TVs are much more practical in the home than CRT (tube-style) televisions. They take up a smaller footprint, and thus use up less floor space in the room. Also, LCD TVs are lighter and easier to move around when cleaning or redecorating. The 15DLV77 is little more than three inches deep and weighs just over 13 pounds. Best of all, LCD screens use less power than CRTs and plasma screens.
The unit has a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution, which puts it in the higher end of standard definition sets. Its traditional 4:3 aspect ratio makes it ideal for watching most DVD content. A built-in comb filter reduces digital artifacts produced by signal noise, making for more detailed images.
Full-Featured DVD Player
The 15DLV77 includes an integrated DVD player compatible with several disc formats: DVD Video, CD-R, CD-RW, VCD and DVD-R. This player is also DivX home theater certified, which means it display popular Internet video formats, such as DivX, AVI, and MPEG4. Want to view photos? Simply move your JPEG photos onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc and the 15DLV77 will provide you access to a slide show of your images with a few clicks on the player's remote control. Similarly, MP3 and WMA-encoded music files recorded to disc will play nicely.
An interesting feature of this player is Digital Picture Zoom, which allows you to select and magnify an area of either freeze-frame or motion video.
Connections
The set has a built-in digital television tuner, so out of the box it can receive digital broadcast ATSC signals and QAM signals used by most digital cable providers. It also has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner, so it can also accept traditional analog signals. It also makes these connections:
- ColorStream component video inputs: 1
- S-video: 1
- RCA video inputs: 1 rear and 1 side
- L-R audio inputs: 1 front and 1 side
- Digital audio output for DVD: 1 coaxial
- RF: 1
- Headphone jack: 1
Audio
The 15DLV77's bottom-mount speakers deliver stereo sound, but for those with a 5.1 surround sound system, the 15DLV77 outputs Dolby Digital and dts digital audio through a coaxial port. A front headphone jack allows you to watch TV without disturbing those around you--perfect for late-night viewing. Toshiba's Surround Sound feature uses advanced audio processing to mimic the all-encompasing sound of satellite speakers. Toshiba's StableSound feature maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. This is an extremely useful feature when transitioning between a quiet television program and a very loud commercial advertisement or when changing channels.

I, too, was thrilled with this television when I first received it. It has been a pleasure to use in my kitchen, until recently. First, it decided that sometimes it would play a disc and another time it would say it was an "incorrect disc." Now it has chosen to eliminate channels, willy nilly. Channel scan just shows every number from 2 to 69, except for the local channels we've been watching for the 2 years we've had it.
Toshiba cusomer service knows less about the TV than I do....
so, it will get 1 star from me. Such a product, at such a price should last more than 2 years in my opinion.

I WAS INFLUENCED TO BUY THIS TV BY ALL THE FAVORABLE REVIEWS I READ ONLINE. ALL THE REVIEWS WERE RIGHT ON TARGET---IT'S A GREAT LITTLE TV.

It's perfect for the bedroom, kids room, kitchen, or an small area. The volume is just fine. I don't know what these people posting single star reviews are talking about. I have no complaints on this television. If I do, I'll update this review.

I found the previous reviews very helpful when trying to decide whether to buy this TV or not. I received it this week and I am extremely happy with it. The size is great. Many of the 15" TV's are bigger. The picture is very clear and sharp, the sound good. One of the problems that previous reviews mentioned was that the sound was not loud enough in the DVD mode. I do not find this true. Like all my other DVD players and TV's you have to turn the sound up a couple of notches when in the DVD mode, but I have no problem hearing it. One thing that I especially liked was that the power cord plugs directly into the wall socket. You do not have to use one of those bulky power supply converters that come with most LCD TV's. I bought this TV to use in my motor home and it is great. The cabinet size is small, no bigger than my original LCD TV, just a little thicker. It weighs very little, so is easy to move around and store. The picture and sound are good in both TV and DVD mode. All in all, it is a great little TV for the price. I would highly recommend it.

What a pleasure this TV is. Plug it in (on cable) and you have an immediate response-great color and clarity, for both the TV and DVD functions.
