GE GE1101P DVD Player
Decent DVD player but shortcomings are too much
Bought this DVD player a couple of days ago, nice features, lots of connections in the back incl. optical connection. There are lots of useful buttons on front including a shuttle dial, and you can change pitch. However, first movie stopped about an hour into it and would not continue to play. Had to turn off machine and back on again to get it to play. Did the same on several other DVD's that I know to be good. Unit runs HOT, smell of &quot;hot electronics/plastic&quot; wafts through air as it plays. There is no power button on remote so you have to press the power button on unit each time, very inconvenient. Remote is laid out rather poorly so navigating through menus can be difficult. MP3 recognition is flaky. In short, I highly recommend going either with RCA or a different brand. GE is bottom of the barrel for Thomson Consumer Electronics, and it shows.
