This 14-inch TV/VCR combo is all about convenience, from its petite, kitchen- and bedroom-friendly size (roughly 17 inches cubed) to its rich features and FST Pure flat, fine-pitch picture tube. Recording
The MV14FL4's most convenient recording feature is surely its eight-event, one-month programmable timer. For more spontaneous taping, one-touch recording simplifies recording within a 24-hour period: a single button starts recording and lets you set the record length.
Playback
The TV offers a 14-inch CRT screen, a 181-channel frequency-synthesized tuner, an icon-based onscreen display for easy setup and operation, and closed captioning (when set to "mute") to assist those hard of hearing or new to the English language.
The VCR uses four video heads and a full-loading quick-access tape transport with digital tracking. Auto Play automatically begins when a prerecorded tape is placed in the machine, while with Auto Repeat prerecorded tapes will rewind and begin play after the initial playback is over.
Audio features
Both the TV and the VCR are equipped for hi-fi stereo sound.
Connections
Front AV input jacks let you plug in a camcorder, gaming console, VCR, or other device, while a 0.128-inch monaural earphone jack grants the option of private listening.
Other features
Conveniences include auto clock set, a trilingual onscreen display (English/French/Spanish), V-Chip parental control (helps keep underage eyes from mature content), and high-speed rewind/fast-forward (spool a standard T-120 tape in just 60 seconds.).
The MV14FL4 comes with sleep and wake timers as well as a unified remote control. The Energy Star-compliant unit measures 17.3 by 15.5 by 15.2 inches and weighs 33 pounds.
