   very nice and compact. perfect for my kitchen and it flips up out of the way when not using. it does take a few seconds to “register” when turning on or changing channels, but not to the point of excess. great deal for the price!

   I love my Audiovox Drop-Down TV. The picture is very good on the TV and the DVD player works great. The sound quality is very good…my Cds sound great! Would definitely recommend purchasing this item!

   Screen failure after 14 months
   Rating:1 out of 5 stars
   I bought the Audiovox VE927 14 months ago from a local retailer. I paid a fair price and was happy with the product for about 14 months. The picture/sound isn’t great but suitable for watching in the kitchen. And ‘watching’ is the key word. After 14 months the picture starting going out after it was turned on for a short period of time. It has progressively gotten worst. The picture just monentarily comes on and then goes out. Every thing else functions – ie. all sound, channel changing, etc. But a TV is limited without a picture. However, I do listen to it – at least until I receive a new product (not Audiovox)which I have purchase from Amazon. Audiovox can’t be very proud of their product with only a 90 day warranty. It would probably cost me more to get it fixed vs purchasing a new item. With quality like this, we’ll see Audiovox on with an ‘out of businness’ sign before long.

   Audio Vox Kitchen drop down TV

   Purchased this as a replacement for an older analog Audio Vox drop down cabinet TV. Installation was simple as was the set up. Clarity of the Digital version head and shoulders better than the old analog set.

   As good as advertised
   Rating:4 out of 5 stars
   The 9-inch screen is too small for anything more than about 5-6 foot viewing distance, but other than that this unit works well, sounds and looks good, and has been sturdy and without problems for the month we have used it.

   Excellent for kitchen entertainment
   Rating:5 out of 5 stars
   It playes, DVDs, CDs, radio and both HDTV as well as regular. Mounting it was easy. Only negative is that is doesn’t come with any kind of antenna at all.

   Great product

   Great product. Color Picture is great along with good sound. We had to replace our old Black & White analog TV kitchen unit. I don’t have cable, so bought an inexpensive indoor antennae @ Radio Shack that has a signal amplifier, & am able to “hide” the antennae under some foo-foo stuff my wife has @ the top of the kitchen window. Made a pocket out of stick on velcro & a car visor CD holder, to hold the remote, & put it inside the door above the player.

   Worked for a While.

   Pros:
   
   The picture is really good with a digital signal. The sound is as good as you could expect. It is loud enough, has no noticeable distortion and the bass is ok. It is very convenient for a kitchen or work area.

   Cons:
   
   The video quit after about a year. With a 90 day warranty that means I get to throw it out. The on screen channel indicator and the menu displays still work, but that’s not very entertaining.

   The radio is quite hard to tune since it uses the same buttons for scan, tune, and preset select. The preset setup is cumbersome, requires the remote and is non-intuitive. The slightest power bump makes it forget the radio presets.

   Entering the channel directly from the remote is frustrating. It often discards the first digit that you enter. If you are not fast enough, it misses the dash number of digital channels. I often have to try three or four time to get the channel I want. Using the up-down buttons is not any better. You have to wait until the receiver tunes to the nest channel before you can push the button again. It can take a long time to get to the channel you want this way.

   Sometimes the unit locks up and must be unplugged to reboot it. Also I have had it enter the same stations in the programmed list twice. It has also “forgotten” the skipped station programming.

   A short power interruption resets the clock to midnight. The digital TV signal contains the time. Why can’t it set its own clock.

   Summary:
   
   The firmware in this model is buggy. It seems to be that the four functions (TV, radio, DVD and clock) are just cobbled together without any attempt of integration.

   Good space saver
   Rating:4 out of 5 stars
   We bought this undercounter model because it was one of only a very few at a reasonable price. Earlier review warned that the template for drilling holes was a bit tricky, but we managed. We positioned this so we could see it in the kitchen and also in the eating area behind a bar. It works great. The picture is clear, color good, sound acceptable. I would definitely buy this again.

    Good while it lasted

    Picture went after 7 months. Cost to repair was more than the original price of the unit. It was a Christmas gift for mom. Hope she enjoyed it for the few months it worked.
