Caravan TV /DVD/CD ? is this even possible

Gothicfairy

I am really hoping you good folks can help me out here.

For reasons that are not really important here (they are on the bankruptcy board) I am going to be living in a caravan on a site for about 6 - 8 months. There is electric hook up so I was wondering if I could get a small second hand TV/DVD thing that would also allow me to play my music CD's.. Is this even possible?
Is there such a thing out there ?

I have found TV/DVD ones but can't make head nor tails of if I can play music CD's through it.

The reason I want it to do all 3 is that space is limited as is money and I am not going to be able to keep my prehistoric desk top.

I do hope this is the right board as I thought it would be more towards the techie side but I could well be wrong, wouldn't be the first time..:rotfl:

Shamelessly stolen from a google search:

Q: How good are Blu-ray and DVD players at playing music CDs?

A: Blu-ray and DVD players make excellent CD players, and current models can also play audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs and MP3 CD-R/RWs you record yourself with a CD recording deck or computer CD-R/RW drive. Some players can also play high-resolution audio, like SACD, DVD-Audio, or both.

A Blu-ray or DVD player's advanced disc transport and digital-to-analog converters are designed for the demanding task of reading and processing the huge amounts of audio and video information on Blu-rays and DVDs. By comparison, playing a music CD is a piece of cake. Based on our experience, these players sound at least as good as a typical CD player.

Thank you, I did try google but got confused and must admit I did not put the question there LOL just searched for TV's with DVD bits.

So that should mean then that any tv with dvd built in will play cd's..All I need to do is find a cheap 12v one on ebay then

Thanks again, at least I understood that

Just about all units can play CD's and more - often including cd's full of mp3's (it costs no more to add it as a feature, so most do)

See, now you have lost me..mp3's what ?? Think of me as the slightly stupid blonde in the corner (terrible sterotype I know )

I was going to ask a question about Sat navs and EU maps but think I will not bother just yet as I am not sure I will understand the answer ley alone the question

If you have a load of MP3's on a computer, you can burn the files to a CD and most units will play them fine :-) If that's still leaving you puzzled, don't worry, it's not important, and is a good thing :-)

Most sat navs require you to buy new memory cards for different mapping areas, although some can download the maps online.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend getting an "all in one" system. If one of the devices break it could break all the others as well, e.g. if the screen develops a fault you won't be able to really do anything with it, and it may well also be more expensive than getting seperate units. Might be better to get a seperate TV and DVD unit or even a laptop and buy a TV Tuner for it. TV's and DVD's are qre quite slim these days so it shouldn't take up much space.
