“The Goodmans GCE 5007 is a product designed for in-car...”

Written on: 14/09/2006 by Sweepthecat (5 reviews written)

The Goodmans GCE 5007 is a product designed for in-car use, and comprises a DVD base unit and two 7 inch slave screens. Intended purpose is the silencing of complaining back seat passengers, by having the screens attached to the back of the front seat headrests. Because the buyer is usually an adult, and the beneficiaries are children, the buyer of the unit will probably never normally see it in operation, but suffers unduly ("are we there yet?") if it cannot be set up, or if it doesn't...

The power off info is not strictly correct. To get the unit to resume from where you left off you have to <br/>1. Stop playback<br/>2. Power off the DVD player with the power button on top of the player<br/>3. Remove power to the system.<br/><br/><br/>To restart, simply power up and press play. Works every time.<br/><br/>The Video connections are great for "Transportable" systems. When we go on holiday, we remove the player from the car and connect it to the TV in the accommodation.<br/><br/>The remote works fine for me.<br/><br/>It gets quite hot in use (~36W power consumption!!!)<br/><br/>There are 2 headphone sockets on each screen (4 in total), each with it's own volume control. Speakers are built into the screens, but not recommended when driving. Screens can be switched on/off independently.<br/><br/>The carry bag is simple really, and great for storage to protect the screens.<br/><br/>Agreed on image quality, it's a bit naff, but 7", twin screen, mobile - what do expect, home theatre?!?!? It does the job adequately and is a lot better than those 5" jobs you get on a 747 across the Atlantic for 8 hrs.<br/><br/>Shame there's no region hack, if anyone has one, please tell.
