Panasonic PV C2541

The Panasonic PV-C2541 25-inch combination TV/VCR provides an easy way to watch and record your favorite TV programs and videos. Thanks to the PanaBlack picture tube, the contrast-degrading effects of ambient light are reduced for crisp, precise video. This model also has an FM radio with auto-scan, as well as an alarm clock and a timer that can be set for up to 90 minutes and will automatically shut off the television if you fall asleep. It can also turn the TV/VCR on as a wake-up call. VCR Plus+ lets you easily record programs by keying in their respective numerical codes, listed in TV Guide and other program listings. Index search allows you to locate specific places of your movie or taped program, while program end search is especially helpful for those tapes that have several shows and movies on them. Commercial skip allows you to record programs without interruption. A built-in V Chip helps parents monitor what their children are watching, and the time stamp feature will display the station, program, and time with the push of a button. Audio-video outputs and inputs are conveniently located on the front panel and can be used to hook up a camcorder or video game. In case the power should go out, the PV-C2541 has a 24-hour power backup and automatic clock set that will save you the hassle of figuring out how to set the time. And, for quieter moments, a headphone jack is displayed on the front panel. An illuminated, multibrand remote control is included. Time Stamp, when activated, automatically tags the start of each new recording and displays on screen the date, time, end time and channel of the program being recorded. Tape Status lets you know how much time is left on the tape before, during or after recording. Channel Caption lets you assign an ID of one to four characters to 34 channels. 60-Minute Timer can be used as a reminder to monitor various tasks.
