    I bought this set based on price and the other reviews which are very positive. While the price is fine, and I had no difficulties with Amazon or the seller, the quality of the set is very poor. No matter what I do, I cannot get a decent picture (fuzzy and the color and tint are awful. BTW, the set is hooked up to a satellite dish, so its not the broadcaster. The sound is almost offensive and does not change with the settings. Very tinny. I would return the set but there is a 15% restocking fee and then shipping charges. Since we only use it infrequently (in the kitchen) we decided it is not worth the cost of returning it. It is nice looking and was easy to set up, but the picture and sound negate anything positive about this set.

    Love the TV, and it is great size for the space I have for it just opposite my treadmill. I am using it hooked up to a dvd player to watch movies while walking on the treadmill. I noticed on the first day that I had to turn the volume up high to be able to hear it over the treadmill, then I noticed that the audio was only coming out of the right speaker and not the left. I checked the audio balance and sure enough, no sound was coming out of the left speaker… so I have sent the TV back to J&R Music for a replacement…..I will update this review as soon as I get the replacement.

    Well It is about 1 and 1/2 weeks later and J&R Music sent me a new replacement that works very well. The Audio balance is correct and I am now very happy. I can walk on my treadmill and watch movies. PERFECT!

    Needed a small portable TV as the 7″ Haier Digital set I had purchased only 14 months ago,had defect in receiver for signals when scanning and setting channels. As I had a Coby small stereo/cassette player was familiar with their product. The 12″ size is so much better for use in my kitchen and sun-porch. Also easy to carry around and even take it to the basement laundry room. I highly recommend this product and am so happy with the beautiful bright color, sharpness and clarity of the picture and the sound is also great. I had no problem scanning all the local channels into the set. There are many extra features, too. I have recommended this Coby set to all my other “senior” friends. A very happy customer!!!

    I previously had the 10.1 inch set which gave me lots of problems. I like the size of the unit so I decided to try the newer 12 inch version.The overall size is the same, but the actual picture is larger. The sound is kind of tinny and the lowest sound setting is still too loud. The picture quality is fine for this size unit. I just hope this new set doesn’t shut down like the other 10.1 units did. All in all, the advantage of this set is its small size, and if it continues to be trouble free, I will be happy.

    I purchased this to replace my old fold down 5″ TV. I am extremely pleased with it. I plugged it right in and connected my cable to it and it started up fine. My only complaint is the Sound. It is pretty Tinny. I plugged in some old computer speakers and it worked just perfect.

    The name is a little misleading – the book is really about television, and digital video (JPEG,MJEPEG, MPEG-1,MPEG-2 etc.) and digital audio and computer aspects of such. Detailed descriptions of algorithms, methods of coding/decoding. Highly recommended to everybody who deals with digital video production, digital video equipment design or just wants to know exactly how it works.

    This book is very good. Its four parts are very easy to search: analog audio, digital audio, analog video and digital video. They cover all of the existing aspects. As a university teacher, I use it for my course on Television Systems, but I think it is useful for an audio course, or a comprehensive audio and video course. I still think that books like these should have a spanish translation, for my students who do not read english.

    This book does a great job of explaining audio & video concepts. It’s perfect for technical folks who didn’t know much about DTV (Jpeg, Mjpeg, Mpeg-1, Mpeg-2, etc ) and computer aspects of such Detailed descriptions of algorithms, methods of coding & decoding. Highly recommended to everybody who deals with Digital Audio & Video production.

    This is a Hybrid book – gives too much information to be a intructory book, but not enough information to be able to implement anything. the book covers a lot of grounds, from detialed description on analog television to general details on mpeg and more, and short intruductory to a lot of topics, like firewire, scsi, ethernet, pci , etc…

    Though title indicates this book is about fundamentals of Digital TV, it is for people who have prior knowledge of TV. This book is not beginners.
