GE DGE100N  DVD Player
does not function properly
it has cool features...but good luck getting your disc into the tray to utilize them...<br />I received a GE dvd player (DGE100n) as a gift and had to take it back for exchange because the tray was failing to open/close for me, no matter if the remote or the button on the unit face were used. <BR>Was able to &quot;trick&quot; it to open by holding down power and open buttons simultaneously as soon as it powered up, and finally were able to play a DVD for the first time! <BR>Well...in the middle of the movie, the phone rang and we pushed pause. When we came back to it 5 minutes later, it was frozen. We could not get it to resume, stop, or even eject the disc! So we ended up having to unplug the unit from the wall and tinkering to &quot;trick&quot; it again to open so I could just get my DVD back out!<br />We exchanged it last night at Wally mart for another DGE100N, brought it home, plugged it in and guess what: Similar problems! Except that in order to get the tray to open on THIS different unit...pressing the play/rewind simultaneously with the open button works after powering it on/off every 3rd or 4th try. <BR>I've tried it in different sockets around the house and ruled that out as a potential cause as all my other electronics have all worked just fine over the years.<br />Wally mart will not let me exchange it toward another unit...so looks like I'm stuck with exchanging it for the same model...again and again in hopes I'll finally find one that works right out of the box!? <br />Gee, do YOU think this quality GE unit will last me for years and years??
