The Panasonic PV-20DF25 is a compact 20-inch TV/DVD player that is both economical and multifunctional.

The cabinet is silver, with the screen flanked by stereo speakers and control buttons and inputs in the base. The flat picture tube ensures corner-to-corner visibility with very little distortion.

This set has a 2-line digital comb filter to reduce hanging dots and dot crawl. The video menu can be switched to movie, night viewing, or normal settings, and manual adjustments can be made as required.

The DVD player is equipped with a host of sophisticated features, including multispeed scanning or slow motion, picture zoom, forward/reverse skip, resume play, and access to subtitles and alternate angles or audio. The DVD player can handle DVD-Video, DVD-RAM/R, VCD, audio CD, and CD-R/RW, and it can simulate surround sound or connect with a 5.1 surround sound decoder. The internal speakers are rated at 6 watts of audio output, with five audio presets for making quick adjustments.

The convenience features include an automatically setting clock, closed captions on mute, parental V-chip controls, and a previous channel return button.

The front of the PV-20DF25 has an audio/video input and a headphone jack, while the rear contains another audio/video input, an RF input, an optical digital audio output, and an analog audio output. The remote control has TV and DVD buttons arranged in a logical manner, but it is not equipped for use with other components.

The Panasonic PV-20DF25 is a good solution for a dorm room or a den.
