Summary: Hit and Miss
Review: I have shopped with Amazon before and have been very happy with their performance thus far. I received the APEX AD-2600 before I expected. That is where my satisfaction ends. I bought the APEX AD-2600 because of the ability to play jPEGs and it seemed like it was the most bang for the buck. However, it has failed to deliver on quality. It does not only have difficulty playing jPEGs, it even has trouble properly playing DVD movies. On several different occasions it has displayed "no disc" with a disc inside. After reading several other reviews this appears to be relatively common. I read in consumer reports that APEX is a reliable brand, but with my experience and reading the other reviews, I think I will be doing a little more homework before considering another APEX product. I am returning mine for a replacement, but if I receive another AD-2600 with the same or similar problems I will not only return it for a refund, but never buy another APEX product in the future. I guess you get what you pay for.

Summary: the AD2600 had false silver plate instead of play display
Review: the 2600 had false silver plate instead of play display. the case had AD2600. bait and switch. picture on web site clearly has the play display pictured, yet false silver plate. what is up. clearly a large LAWSUIT if I were so inclined. I feel that once I contact amazon that they will get to the bottom of this.

Summary: Moderately Impressed
Review: I just got it today and have tried to verify the claims of other reviewers. No go on most formats. It plays original DVDs and CDs and plays mp3s and JPEGs. However, it does not play Windows media and I can not get it to play any of my divx rips. I guess that I can not complain since it does not actually claim to play vcd/svcd formats, but others say they can. Also, it was only $39.99 (after rebate) with free shipping and no tax so overall it is a decent player. Good quality video.

Summary: Apex AD-2600 compatability
Review: Bought this player after reading the reviews here which identify it as reading most formats including DVD+RW's and VCD's. Can't say whether I rec'd an "updated" model but it will NOT read DVD+RW's or VCD's for me. It did play a DVD-R which was unplayable in my older Philips machine. I don't have a DVD+R to try
So ... mixed bag I guess but the price was right.

Summary: Great budget player
Review: This is the third Apex product I've bought and they continue to impress for the price. It goes nicely with my Apex 27" in my bedroom. The build quality feels solid, it doesn't shake or whine while playing discs, and the picture and sound is top notch (both DTS and DD5.1 sound good). I paid twenty dollars more than the current price, and even then it was a steal.

Summary: Fantastic bargain! Hooray!
Review: Think you need to pay a fortune for a good qulaity DVD player? Well, not with this one. It looks really sleek and stylish, and does everything it claims. I tried as bunch of different formats to see if it would play and it did. I am very pleased with this product and the price to match and haven't had any problems. There are really easy directions for setup and fiddling around with the picture, zoom etc. So sit back, relax and brag to all your friends who paid a mountain of money for a DVD player that can't do half the things this one can, and for a fraction of the price! Only problem, if you think it's going to be delivered in the 24hrs Amazon claims, don't hold your breath...otherwise it'll get there the day you get back from the hospital!

Review: Noiseless, lightweight and oh yeah...WORKS GREAT!!! Silverish color really adds a special touch. Who cares if it doesn't have multiple slots? It plays just about any format(check before you buy if it plays yours.) If you watch DVDs once in a while like I do, get this! Apex is made in USA and is one of the underrated brands out there. If you watch one DVD per weekm its yours. However, I don't know the dvd's performance on a heavy load of every-day viewing. Either way, can't go wrong with this price.

Summary: Plays anything
Review: I am really impressed by this dvd player. If it can fit in the drive bay, this dvd player will play it. For instance, i made several back-ups of my dvd movies using dvd-r(w) and +r(w) and it plays the dvds. No matter the format. Awesome!!!

Summary: Worst DVD i ever saw
Review: This is the first time i ever purchased products from APEX, and will never buy anything from them again. This DVD player is hard to connect, i match all the cables the way it is shown on the manual, but it does not work with any kinds of video input commands. The dvd player does not respond to remote control, and when manually the keys on dvd are used it takes long time for it to switch to a desired function. The technical support line is the worst service i have ever seen in America. Very hard to reach because the line is always busy, and once youu reach them the phone becomes disconnected and you start all over againn by calling the support center for hours.

Summary: Problems loading/restarting disk
Review: I bought an Apex DVD player AD-2600 from Amazon. When it appeared on my doorsteps with no extra packing other than the product packaging, I never knew that the list of surprises was just unfolding.
The challenge I face every day while I face this DVD player is about inserting a DVD, and after watching it, getting it out. The eject button works like about once in ten tries. And each try consists of switching off/on power and pressing the eject button. Sometimes when the tray indeed opens, before you can say abracadabra, it closes. So I try screaming something shorter, like @#$@ Apex! Finally after I get the DVD in, in case I stop it midway, the next time I switch on power, it says-"Loading", and stays so forever. Time to get back into the power on/off, eject on game. Get the DVD, clean it, put it back, and it might work in the third attempt.
Picture quality is good, and the remote is also good. When I tried to play audio CDs (authentic ones), the CDs kept getting frozen at different stages. Time to get back to the on/off game.
I would suggest this DVD if you want a built in game option with your player(you can play the above game). Otherwise, get yourself a real one.
