Product Description
This GE DVD Player has a slim design that will fit nicely into your home theater arrangement. The slim design is complimented by the wide array of features available on this player. Viewing digital photos will be even more special when they are on the television - use a CD-R/RW JPEG encoded disk. You can also listen to your favorite MP3, CD, or CD-R/RW. TruSurround lets you experience a six-speaker home theater system with only two-speakers. GE packed all of these features into the slim, compact design of this DVD Player.

This GE DVD Player has a slim design that will fit nicely into your home theater. Viewing digital photos will be even more special when they're on television--just slide a JPEG-encoded CD-R or CD-RW in and hit play. You can also listen to favorite CDs and MP3 CDs. The player is compatible with DVD-Video, VCD, DVD+W, DVD+R, DVD-W, DVD+RW, DVD-R, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and JPEG- and MP3-encoded discs, as well as both three-inch and standard five-inch sizes. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.p A single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: SRS TruSurround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).p Playback options include multi-speed smooth scan and slow motion, frame advance, DVD and CD programming and repeat modes (disc, title, chapter, track, A-B), DVD and CD random play, parental lock, and picture zoom. The player comes with a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, user's manual, and a multi-brand remote control that operates the DVD player and most RCA, GE, and Proscan televisions.

 A complete piece of garbage January 1, 2009
I have 2 of these and have had issues with both. The first one worked fine for a while, and then started developing a habit of failing to read the discs an hour of so into the film. The second one worked fine for a while, but then it started freezing and unfreezing in the middle of movies. Sometimes it freezes completely. It's unresponsive to the buttons even when it does work, just a unreliable frustrating product. Avoid this.

I don't know if this player is still being sold but if so, steer clear of it. When it works, mine works reasonably well but it rarely works. Most of the time it gives me a "no disc" message when it has just spooled up a DVD that works in every other player I have.br /br /More interesting is GE's response to this. They don't acknowledge that it even exists. Could it be some kind of illegal copy, I ask? No response. I think they know there's something wrong with it.br /br /The only good thing about it was the price, but on a per-play basis, I probably should have bought a different player. What also bothers me is what this says about GE. Would this be true of all their other products? I wonder.

I bought this unit because it was cheaper than others and was recommended by the guy in the store. Since I bought it it has been problematic. It's very tempermental about reading the discs. When i called the store about the problem I was told that that was how DVD players worked and that it would work itself out eventually, like a bug in the system. It conitnued, well past the point of warranty and returnability. It refuses to read most DVD's unless I tinker with it, opening and closing the tray 6-7 times. It skips and stops a lot. There is a problem with the pause feature. Now, only a year after I bought it, it's refusing to work entirely and I have to go buy another unit. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER!
Common Problems June 25, 2003

It looks like there is a common bug on the chip in this machine. I bought a DGE100NA at Circuit City so I could play a VCD a friend sent me - and because the Apex DVD player I had could not read the VCD, even though it was supposed to be able to. The GE was able to play the VCD.pThis DVD player does NOT resume properly from Pause. But I've found a work-around. When you are ready to resume, press the Pause button and immediately press Stop. Then press play and the movie will USUALLY start from the place where you paused. If you try to resume by just pressing Pause, the unit locks up, and as the others have said, the ONLY way to get it to re-start is to pull the power plug - even the Power On/Off button is frozen.pThe fact that it sometimes also randomly starts movies in the middle is another annoyance. This unit will PLAY a DVD, but it is sadly lacking when it comes to reliable functionality.

I have used this product for over a year now and I have never had a problem playing any of my 100+ DVDs. I would never claim that is is the best DVD player on the market, but I argue that it is the best for the money.pThe front panel layout is plain and simple, as it should be. The remote control is divided nicely into DVD controls and TV controls (if you have RCA or compatible). The only drawback is no backlighting, but I have never really missed this feature.pThe player itself is fast in loading DVDs, and has all the features you would expect from a player in this class. However, I must agree with an earlier reviewer who noted that for non-DVD's, the user interface is poorly designed and only show the first twelve letters for a filename. Therefore, if you have mp3 collections sorted first by artist and then by title you might have some guessing to do.pOverall, I think this is a great product and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is on a budget (college students, for instance). It was designed for its video capabilities and not as mp3 player, and it should be used as such. You're better off keeping your mp3's on disc and playing them through your computer or stereo.
