Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Need a little bedroom entertainment? How about something that you can take on the road when need be, such as RCA's high-contrast T13082 portable TV/VCR combination unit. The one-piece audio/video entertainment center offers a 13-inch TV screen with NTSC broadcast tuning, a built-in two-head VHS videocassette player/recorder, and a DC vehicle power cord to go with it.
Audio/video inputs in both front and rear offer convenient connections for a video game, camcorder, or another VCR for copying tapes. There's even built-in autotracking so you won't have to fiddle with a manual tracking control when watching most tapes. Auto head cleaning relieves you of having to bring a head-cleaning tape along for the ride, and the unit's quick-start mechanism initiates tape playback as soon as you load a cassette. Auto repeat is great for looping a tape during trade shows and conventions--or keeping the kids entertained with a favorite video that's also overly brief in duration.
You can set the built-in timer memory for up to one year in advance to record as many as eight different programs automatically. A timer backup protects the VCR's clock, channel, and timer memories for up to one minute after power loss, especially convenient when you're only unplugging the device to move it across the room. An alarm timer lets you awaken to a specific TV channel or tape program. Other VCR functions include zero search, index search, blank search, auto rewind, auto power-off, and frame advance. A headphone jack fosters private listening.
One of the set's coolest features is its switchable external speaker output. This lets you hook up external speakers (not included) to rear-panel direct-wire, spring-loaded output jacks. A speaker switch channels audio to either the speaker outputs or to the TV/VCR's single internal speaker.
A supplied NITEglo back-lit remote control with sleep-timer button simplifies nighttime viewing, offering easily identifiable controls for TV volume, channel scanning, mute, and sleep timer. Auto channel programming simplifies system setup.
At 32 pounds, the T13082 is a little hefty for true portable use--but if you're not going to be hauling it from the car or RV to the tent (or your house) every day, it probably won't be a concern. RCA warrants the set for one year parts and 90 days labor.
What's in the Box
TV/VCR combo, remote control, remote batteries, an AC power cord, a DC car cord, a dipole antenna (rabbit ears), an antenna adapter, and a user's manual.

TV's fine, but too bulky for our car........2003-01-26
It works fine as a TV/VCR for kid's room, but when we took it in my Grand Am, it is way too bulky. It took up about 1/3 of the back seat and our 7-year old daughter couldn't lay down all the way anymore so it hasn't come on a trip with us since then.
Also, it blew the fuse in the cable after a few minutes. Thankfully, there was a Radio Shack on the way and we were able to replace it. Then, during the trip it blew my cigarette lighter fuse in my car and we had to stop at Wal-Mart and buy some more.
Unless you have a big car, I wouldn't recommend this for travelling.
Works fine at home but don't take it on the road.......2002-06-03
RCA TV/VCR Combo.......2002-04-22
Good price, if only!.......2001-06-03
While it was playing, my kids were happy. I was happy that they were content. But there is an annoying high-pitched "whine" from the unit. And while playing a tape, you can hear the motor turning. Strike two.
But my kids were actually quiet for most of the trip. We returned home and had the same balance problems with the plug, and the "whine" noise from the unit. Once home, the TV found its semi-permanant home in the master bedroom.
Another car trip to Grandma's last month, and the one time we got the plug "balanced" in the lighter outlet, we proptly hit a bump and never did find that elusive angle again. Once we go there, my husband tried the lighters in his parents' cars to no avail. This plug was just too small in diameter (we suspect) to stay snug in the lighter. Strike three.
No more strikes left, but the VCR is not done yet. In the last week, the player has developed a tracking problem. When we insert a tape the picture now jumps for 5-6 seconds before clearing up. That's fine at the beginning of a tape, but when my kids want to finish a movie it can be annoying to have to rewind it a bit because they insist that they "missed that part!!"
All in all, a decent unit for a fair price. But only a week after receiving this model, I saw a power inverter ..., ... so I could have gotten a better unit for less money (and no shipping) if only I'd held off a bit.
A great TV/VCR for the kids........2000-08-23
On the technical side, there are no problems. Everything seems to work fine. The price is a little high, but it's good for a combo.
