Great Under-Cabinet TV - Beatuful picture and sound - nice extras! First off, I can't fathom how people can review an item based on their lack of research. For those who didn't think to measure their cabinet depth, I refer you to the specifications....
Secondly, who buys an undercabinet TV for the radio? Maybe that's just me...
Okay, on to the review:
I replaced my completely horrible Audiovox (also purchased through Amazon) when it finally gave up the ghost (it was my 4th replacement). Let me just say right off that the diffe...

Excellent experience with this Sony Dream Machine I purchased this unit from Amazon and it was shipped from Vanns. My experience with this product was outstanding and I was able to install this unit in a corner cabinet in the kitchen. Since I installed it in a corner, I experienced no installation problems as mentioned in other reviews. The instructions were very clear, the template provided for installation was perfect and allowed for easy installation. The TV quality is excellent and the sound produced using the radio and CD are good consi...

Replacement We bought one of these to replace our old counter top TV that we used in the kitchen. I like the under cabinet design, but would like to caution you on the dimensions. These dimensions on the box only define the foot print of the unit. Be sure to allow room to plug in your AV components (1 to 2 inches)! I had to fudge the placement of ours, otherwise we would not have been able to plug in the antenna. The reception is a little less than average on the radio and TV. I'm not bothered by thi...

Good product bad install design This product now that it is installed is great however getting it installed was a bit of a nightmare.
Lets start on the good news:
The timer is a great feature. It is easy to set and works well
The TV is great for keeping up with a program when in the kitchen. The extra Video input allowed me to slave this to the video in the home theater good for when you need to make popcorn. The controls are easy to understand and use. Great!
Now for the bad:
Th...

Great under counter TV I have read the other reviews and it seems people with problems with the picture are not reading the manual. The zoom modes distort the picture. This is not a flaw, but rather how it is supposed to work. You can always just leave it 4:3 and have the black bars if you dont want the distortion.
We have it mounted in a corner and I agree with the other reviewers that it would probably be a bit tight depthwise if just mounting under a regular cabinet.
The sound is very g...

Excellent design-features-quality-value balance! I have been shopping for several months for an under-cabinet LCD TV to replace our 18-year-old 5" RCA tube-type TV in our kitchen, which has served us well but has developed annoying on/off button problems and now looks old, clunky out-of-date.Our requirements for a replacement unit were as follows:
1. Small, sleek, unobtrusive, LCD design that would blend in under our white cabinets
2. CD player so my wife could enjoy her books-on-CD in the kitchen (DVD and radio would be a plus but n...

Check your kitchen cabinet dimensions I was in the market for an under cabinet TV to replace an old GE Spacemaker. I considered the Sony. But this thing is HUGE! The dimensions are: 15 3/4 H x 4 1/8 W x 12 3/4 D inches. The width dimension was a problem for my desired corner installation but I could have made it work. The depth was a more serious problem.
I believe I have typically sized American style cabinets. My kitchen was remodeled about 10 years ago. My base cabinets are 24inches deep and my upper cabinets are 1...

Good picture and sound. Bad points:
1) As all of the other reviewers have pointed out, this unit is almost exactly the same depth as a standard cabinet -- with about 1/2 inch to spare at the back. Very funny, Sony... No room to connect the cables to the back. I would like to thank the previous reviewer who pointed out that you can buy a right angle coax adapter at Radio Shack. It works good with that.
2) The LCD screen is 'wide screen' format. In other words, it is not the shape of a normal TV picture. Th...

Great Little TV We purchased this Sony after buying & returning an Audiovox under-the-counter tv/radio. We were very unhappy with the picture quality of the Audiovox, so we went to Best Buy and looked at their system which was a Phillips. The picture was much better than the Audiovox. Yet, we were still not satisfied. So we purchased the Sony system, which is better than both of those. We are very happy with both the picture quality and the sound quality of the Sony. It's perfect in our kitchen. The only...

FM Poor Reception. "Weather" Not Available. Misrepresented. AM Antennae poor. This is a big, big disappointment. I needed to buy an extra Am antennae to get it to work OK, and the FM still doesn't work and I have another radio sitting right next to it on the same counter and FM is as clear as a bell. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the weather band station, or looking back on the description, it includes the word weather, but it specifically does not state "weather band" so maybe I am expecting too much. I have yet to find it to hear it.
As for slim, I hav...
