Summary: Great Player... when it worked! Video output stopped workin
Review: This was an awesome player, before the video output no longer worked (after about 3 weeks). I might have gotten a lemon, but this is not the first report of video output failure on this machine. I am returning it, and again in the market for a multiformat DVD, SVCD, VCD, MP3, etc... player. What a disappointment!

Summary: Quit in 10 days
Review: I bought the Apex AD-2600 DVD player for the family for Christmas. Set up was easy and we enjoyed it for just over a week. There was occasionally a lip-sync issue (the lips weren't moving in time to the dialogue). But after 10 days, the sound worked, but the video quit working. Amazon was wonderful about picking it up the next day and paying for the return shipping. Perhaps this experience will teach me not to buy "off" brands.

Summary: Apex AD-2500 and AD-2600 no picture scrolling black & white
Review: Does your Apex DVD player only play DVD audio without video? Or does it play audio and video but scrolling in black and white? Before you try to return the player or waste hours calling Apex tech support, or run the player over with your car, try these simple troubleshooting ideas first. No picture: Hopefully you still have the remote control. If you tossed it out the window, you need to fetch it. Using the remote control, press the I/P button located on the bottom right corner of the remote. The I/P button switches the TV display between interlace and progressive. If this doesnt bring back the picture, try pressing this button without playing a DVD. If you dont get video back, now you can run the player over with your car! Picture scrolling in B/W: You need the remote control for this so you better get it from your dog before he burries it in the backyard. Press the P/N button located on the bottom right corner of the remote. The P/N button switches your DVD players video output signal between PAL and NTSC. By pressing P/N, you should be able to get a good picture on the screen. For other problems go to http://www.apexdigitalinc.com/support.asp I hope I have helped you continue to enjoy the Apex DVD player with these troubleshooting tips. I have done some research and experimenting with the remote when my Apex AD-2500 seemed to have lost its video signal. Im a more happier person after discovering the I/P button! The button was probably accidentally pushed to cause the black screen in the first place. But, if you're looking for my opinion of the Apex DVD player, I love it! It practically plays almost everything you give it. I've had the player for about 2 years now and it still performs nicely.

Summary: Read the Manual!!
Review: I'm editing my review, because now I wish I read the manual before returning the player I bought for my girlfriend. The button on the remote to switch from PAL to NTSC was undoubtedly my problem.. now I may buy two! (my orignal review is below:) Great feature list, poor reliability. Output went black and white only via both s-video and composite connections, and with no v-hold. Thankfully amazon has free return shipping!

Summary: Great By for the Price
Review: I purchased two Apex 2600 for CHRISTmas presents. So far we have only hooked up one of them. The Unit seems to play all formats that I have put in it (Jpeg, Kodak Pic's And DVD-R) I have read other reviews and some good and soom not so good, but my feeling at this time is "Two Thumbs Up"!!! (I Guess Only Time Will Tell???)
P.S The Remote Control does seem to get confused at times and doesnt respond but It may be just operator error??

Summary: Doesn't play my Alias season 1 DVDs
Review: What the hell is wrong with this thing. i bought this thing because it plays everything. this is the third apex dvd i bought. the first one was the 705 which i hacked successfully to play all region dvds and disable macrovision. the second one was the 2500 which i think is better than the 2600 because it has more features such as karoake which i do use sometimes for parties. but heck it plays my alias dvds. what the heck is up with the 2600. it suppose to play everything. wrong!!!! by the way my alias dvds are legit too not no bootleg from the internet. i'm sending this pup back to amazon and looking for the 2500 on ebay. you should too. forget about the sleek looks if it can't play some of your real dvds.

Summary: A Frustrating Christmas
Review: We ordered two Apex AD-2600's for our family for Christmas - finally decided to join the rest of the world and watch DVD's - well... the first one we installed didn't work, and our kids were devastated to say the least. The second one is up and running. It seems to be working fine, but we've not used it all that much. I am returning the broken one today. I will not be ordering another one to replace it.
UPDATE: JANUARY 27TH 2004 - THE SECOND ONE CRAPPED OUT ONLY AFTER A WEEK - DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT !!

Summary: Disappointing - Get what you pay for
Review: The player looked good right out of the box, offering lots of features and good styling. I immediately had problems getting the player to recognize two of my favorite DVDs. After "loading" for what seemed like a very long time, the display indicated "No Disk". After multilple tries, one of the disks was finally recognized but video was poor and features not available. Only one disk played through to completion successfully. At $49. I guess you get what you pay for. I'd recommend against this unit.
