GE DGE505N 5-Disc DVD Player

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy your favorite films and music without changing discs every hour or two with this GE five-disc DVD changer. The device lets you watch five consecutive DVDs or listen to five audio CDs or CD-R/RWs (sequentially or randomly), making it a great choice for viewing multidisc movie box sets or TV anthologies. That's not all, however. Users can also enjoy VCDs, DVD+RWs, and MP3 CDs, along with a slideshow of digital photos stored on a CD-R/RW JPEG-encoded discs. And thanks to the composite and S-video outputs, the DGE505N is compatible with nearly any TV.

The DVD player also includes two sets of left/right analog audio outputs that direct the audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo TVs. In addition, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound signals can be routed through the player's digital audio outputs (one RCA coaxial and one Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured A/V receiver.

If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, every movie night can still be the ultimate experience thanks to the SRS TruSurround, which simulates surround sound through two speakers (even your TV's stereo speakers). Supplied accessories include a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, instruction manual, and a multi-brand remote control that operates the DVD player and most GE and RCA televisions. The DVD player measures 17 by 4.2 by 15.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

1 out of 5 stars Stay Away .......2007-04-16

I own this unit and it does not function properly. If I am not unplugging it in order to reset it so that it will turn off or on, I am banging my head against the wall while attempting to get it to play factory DVDs and CDs. The unit also tends to skip ahead a chapter when the fast-forward button is pushed. This piece of equipment is frustrating to try to use. After 5 years, I have developed a better touch for this finicky machine. I would avoid it if I had it to do all over.

4 out of 5 stars Plays Everything I Throw At It.......2005-10-27

At first I was a little disappointed by this unit because it does ocasionally lock up for no reason, but unplugging and then (re)plugging the unit always restores it back to factory settings. Be careful when moving the unit since it is easy to cause discs to become lodged back near the reader. What I love about this DVD player (and I'm looking for another used one) is that it plays every disc I throw at it, whether PAL or NTSC, with strange color formats, widescreen or fullscreen, and I like the direct remote buttons for subtitles, audio, views, etc. If you like to burn your own dvd's, this is a great player for your home burned collection.

5 out of 5 stars I think its great!!.......2003-08-28

Someone in there review said it did not have multi disc funtions, but I can say it does because I own one. It has a great price and very good quality. Picture on TV is incredible and has zoom feature which makes widescreen movies look bigger and much more....

1 out of 5 stars poor poor quality!.......2003-08-25

I purchsed this and returned it with a lot of headache. It was defective. nothing was working properly.should be out of the market and not in circulation. it's a waste of time for the customer.

1 out of 5 stars Not a good product.......2003-07-06

The first one of these I bought wouldn't even open and close the drawer - it jammed and stuck due to some mechanical fault. I exchanged it for a replacement and tried that out. While it does seem to do all that it claims, I was amazed to find that this multi-disc player has NO multi-disc functions! To change discs, you have to get up and push a button on the front of the machine. If I am doing that I might as well change the disc myself. I expected as a minimum that it would play 5 audio CDs in sequence - it won't, and it won't play 2 movies in a row either. Also, the remote stopped working for a while, then started again. My experience with RCA/GE is that the quality control has been terrible for several years, and it seems nothing has changed. I will return this unit and buy a better brand.
