Advantages: All in one, price, good looks Disadvantages: have to replace DVD+VHS if one breaks down

Unusually the speakers are below the screen, rather than each side, meaning the stero sound effect is not as noticeable as on some televisions. The sound is by no means bad, but if you want a home move experience, then you will need to attach some external ...
