2 out of 5 stars Sent mine back to Amazon........2007-12-13

Even if mine had worked properly (it didn't) I probably would have still sent it back.

1) Video from the latest iPod models will not display on the LCD screen.
2) The unit protrudes too far from the cabinet if you leave room for the cable connection. My cabinets are standard 12 inches deep and the TV protrudes more than two inches. If your cabinets are deeper this won't be a problem for you.
3) Cheap plastic look and feel. For almost $400 it should be sturdier.

Mine was also defective - one of the speakers didn't work. However, it's very easy to return to Amazon so I would give Amazon 5 stars for customer service.

3 out of 5 stars Be aware of Apple's change.......2007-12-07

The DCD778 has performed adequately. The most important thing you should know is that the dock in this unit is NOT compatible with the new 3G iPod Nano (w/video) or new iPod Classic (also w/video). Apple apparently has changed the output port configuration and video will not be passed to the LCD screen of this unit. Apple's solution is to purchase a $50 cable and pump in the video into the composite and audio ports on the back. Not a very elegant solution.
Installation was mostly problem free although the template could have been more descriptive (just assume the outline of the unit is accurate, and align such that it will stick out as much as you desire from the cabinet per this outline) and my cabinet extends 0.75" below the attachment surface, so I ultimately didn't need any spacers - unfortunately I guessed it did and had to essentially install it twice. They could have easily told you that spacers are not required unless the cabinet front extends more than 0.75" below the attachment surface. You would think they would have you measure this distance and then either set the spacers accordingly or not use them at all as in my case.
I found the user guide is pretty accurate and well written - had no problem programming over the air both analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) channels. Appreciate the easy way you can skip channels after the programming because it will find channels outside your viewing area, that will be mostly snow - but can easily be marked to skip them. The video is adequate but it's not high def, and other reviewers comments about it's quality are pretty accurate. Not really their fault, but would have scored the unit one star higher had an iPod nano 3G had worked and would have given it 5 stars if the video had been better.
And to the person who couldn't find the DVD player I understand perfectly. It wasn't until I put it into DVD mode and hit the eject button that it became apparent that it was well hidden behind the display - which drops down. And to the person who complained about the red push, the unit does have picture adjustments for brightness, contrast, tint, and color using the remote. I found a decent picture with all the setting about mid range.

5 out of 5 stars a worthy replacement ............2007-11-02

Bought this little Philips TV as a replacement for a 19 yr old GE Spacemaker 5" color tv. While that old one was good, it finally just died. The DCD778 was one of the few undercabinet models still available, and Amazon's price and guarantee was the best deal. Screen size of 8.5" is a big improvement, and picture clarity is at least as good as the prior TV (which was good for such a little screen). We do occasionally see some of the interference bands one other reviewer saw so heavily, but that does appear to be caused by an electromagnetic field from the FiOS converter box. Mounting the convertor box 15" away under the next cabinet reduced the interference such that it is not annoying, and mounting them both under the cabinets minimized the loss of space underneath or on the kitchen countertop. The swivel screen feature is just as good as the lazy susan bearing mounting I built for the prior TV, and eliminated the problems I had with the input coax cable hanging up on things as the TV swiveled. It's been operating for a month, and all indications are that it was worth the money.

4 out of 5 stars so far so good.......2007-10-01

so far I am satisfied, the item was easy to install under the cabinet, have a good TV signal and audio is what I expected. the DVD eject system is a little slow ejecting, but I can leave with it. I still believe i picked the best one out all the others I researched.

3 out of 5 stars DVD opening.......2007-09-02

Where is the opening to put the DVD disc? Sounds pretty silly isn't it, but we have not been able to locate it. Ashok

        2 out of 5 stars Not all that great.......2007-11-14

        I really does not last as long as the regular battery. My intention was to replace the battery that came with it because it was dying, however this things lasts as long as dying battery I already have. Not too thrilled.

        2 out of 5 stars LG CU 500 Battery.......2007-09-30

        The battery works fine, but it doesn't last as long as the original battery that comes with the new bought cell phone. This battery last about 3/4 of a day with out very little calling involved. Other than that, it is a good back up battery for my cell phone.
