TV's with buit in VCR/DVD players

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I have a question for you audiophiles:

Are TV's with the built in DVD/VCR's just as good sounding or should I
buy separate units...

I am not looking for anything 'too fancy', just some good decent sound.

I know VCR's are pretty much obsolete these days, but I have so many old
movies that I hate to get rid of them and replace them with dvds.

Thanks for any help, email welcome.

Anything anybody could reply would be a horrible generalization.

Go to a store and listen to some. Most of the combo units I have heard
don't sound very good, but then neither do most of the standalone TV sets
either. Too many of them have lots of top end and lots of bottom end and
not much in the middle. Listen to a news program on a bunch of sets and
listen to how natural the vocals are.

Then you probably already have a VCR, right? So why get a TV with one built
in?
