Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Sungale's affordable model DVD 8500 DVD player offers everything you need to source a spiffy home theater--and karaoke functionality, too. Standing a mere 1.8 inches tall, the DVD 8500 boasts a sleek, silver chassis with a mirror-black front panel and a VFD (vacuum-fluorescent display) for vivid disc-information readouts. The player also offers high-end component-video outputs (switchable between progressive and interlaced modes), built-in MP3 decoding, and support for JPEG image CDs so you can watch a digital-photo slideshow right on your living-room television.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD 8500 is ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The player's component-video outputs offer a choice of progressive and interlaced signals (YPbPr and YCbCr); interlaced component-video signals still minimize line-scan artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

When it's time to party, invite your friends over, pop in a karaoke CD or DVD, plug in a microphone or two, and you're ready for full-blown sing-along action, duets and all, with independent level controls for each mic input.

Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Alternately, built-in Dolby Digital decoding lets you feed multichannel analog outputs to receivers with compatible multichannel inputs (many older models do not permit digital-audio connections).

A 192 kHz, 24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimum decoding of all disc formats, including HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital), a 20-bit encoding method used on many commercial CDs to deliver better sound than is possible through standard CDs.

Playback options include overseas use (the player offers both NTSC and PAL video outputs and auto-switching 110 to 240V, 50 or 60 Hz power input), picture zoom with zoom panning, time search during playback, and a screen saver to prevent image burn-in if you keep a disc in pause mode for an extended period.

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Good player, bad lifetime.......2006-08-17

As everone else said, it's good while it lasts. I bought mine a year ago and it worked fine until recently. Now it squeeks loudly when playing DVDs and skips a lot. For the price, I think it was worth it - it lasted a good year for 70 bucks. Don't buy this if you want something that will last a while! It seems to have about a 1 year lifetime.

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy Sungale Model 2026.......2005-08-25

I acturally don't want to give this product any stars. I purchased it two weeks ago, but just after 5 days, I found that this machine had scrached and damaged 4 of my VCDs. I was very mad of the outcome and returned it to the retailer right away. I was not the only one whose disks got damaged. The manager of the retailer was honest enough(which I appreciated) to tell me that I was the second person to inform them the same problems.

One reviewer said Sungale 2026 was a great product. I think he/she was very lucky to get a 'good' one. However, my sincerely advice to everyone who is considered Sungale Model 2026 is DON'T BUY IT! You are risking your own disks and money that you might not be able to get refund.

1 out of 5 stars Remotes go dead in a short time.......2005-01-13

I have now purchased 4, yes FOUR Sungales hoping to enjoy their advertised features. The special features work fine! However, the machines are deadly. Within a short period, less than a year, the remotes on all 4 machines have gone dead. I have found no way to revive them, and without the remotes the "special features" can't be accessed.

3 out of 5 stars Was good while it lasted.......2005-01-09

I bought the Sungale 8500 a little more than a year ago. It really has given me no problem until today. It died....with the DVD still in like the other reviewers did. I took it apart to see what was wrong and saw something had blown. By the way, you can get the DVD out by unscrewing the cover and then two more screws on the inside....very simple if yours breaks with a dvd inside. I'm just gonna chunk it and get a new one....but not Sungale after reading the previous bad review about their customer service.
