Amazon.com Product Description
Why stack boxes on your TV when it's this affordable to integrate your media playback with your display? The Apex GT2025DVR mates a 20-inch television with a full-featured DVD player and four-head VCR. The set handles music, too, from standard commercial CDs to MP3/WMA music playback from recordable CDs (CD-R/RW). You even get a digital surround-sound output for hooking the set up to your multichannel audio/video surround receiver and surround speaker system. The 20-inch TV uses a Pure Flat picture tube, which not only looks cool compared to a conventional, bulbous screen, but also provides a high-quality, high-contrast picture--partly owing to the screen ability to reduces reflected ambient light. The GT2025DVR's three-line comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). DVD features include fast and slow forward motion, frame-by-frame advance, programmable sequencing, and picture zoom (2x, 4x). The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, auto-off, and a remote control. The four-head, stereo VCR offers one-month, eight-event programming to simplify daily or weekly taping of off-air programs. This player/recorder's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from Dolby-encoded cassettes. The set gives you stereo audio from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. A rear AV output and a DVD-only coaxial digital-audio output (for Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound) lets you hook the set up to a surround receiver. What's in the Box
TV/DVD/VCR combo, remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

 Horrible December 6, 2005

This is the worst purchase I have ever made. After a few months the connections on the back stopped working and I had to attach different wires to the cable- that lasted about a month, and now the cable goes out all the time. Then tonight the picture started to distort- I've barely had the tv two years.
Do NOT buy this.
Why didn't I read these reviews before buying October 5, 2005

Well, I guess I too was taken. Nine months of use and the DVD quits turning or reading the disc. Called APEX for a local service center location and they want me to return it to California at my expense and pay them an $80 service fee. By the time I do this I will have nearly the price of the unit paid again. I should have gotten the 3 year extended warranty. I'll get separate components next time from a name that is well known.
I can get service here for $30 and most likely the DVD reader is only about $40.

Unlike some other reviewers, my TV was delivered in good shape and worked fine. Then, after 4 months, the TV simply refused to turn on. I called Apex customer service, which was fairly responsive, but the TV was out of warranty by a few weeks. They wanted me to ship the TV to them at my cost and spend at least $80 to fix it. Given the poor quality, I doubt that it's worth the effort or cost, so now I've got a 50-lb. paperweight!
What Is happening at Amazon ? August 20, 2004

The people have always been very nice to me at Amazon and still are. However,they shipped me a APEX GT2025DVR that was clearly a return. Packing slip was gone .Case dented.DVD would not open.Picture was color and black & white-then was gone.
Someone at Amazon may think this is funny,I do not. It is heavy and I had to have help to get it in the house -then help to get it out for UPS return.Sure I did not lose any money Amazon is good that way.Still I had to ask for help from my friends and had to get it ready for UPS return -I lost time and this should never have happend. Check things before they are shipped-don't send returns back out.
Very Poor Customer Service July 23, 2004

We purchased this combo TV and approximately 60 days later, the VCR slot began malfunctioning. We tried to call the customer service number, and was on-hold for 45 minutes (15 customers in queue waiting) before a service representative answered. She took some basic information and then put me on hold for another 20 minutes before disconnecting me with no repair/return information. I called again and there was 19 customers in queue. This is a great price for these features, but you may want to consider the lack of customer service when making your decison to buy.
