Summary: Pass this one by
Review: I bought my unit, seduced by the very low price, and despite online warnings of spotty quality control at Apex. Well, now I'm sorry. This unit has trouble digesting DVDs from many different sources; local video rentals, brick&mortar store purchases, online merchant purchases. It doesn't seem to matter the source, this player will often (very often) not be able to play the disc -- or even *find* the disk.I thought, before I bought it, "What am I risking?" Well, the purchase price as it turns out, minimal as that was. Also, the frustration of getting home with a rental and getting stuck, unable to watch it. Save your money. Buy a brand name. The Panasonic player that came with a theater-in-a-box I bought last year has been flawless.

Summary: ***HORRIBLE DVD PLAYER***
Review: I got this DVD player free with an APEX television (...). A friend of mine has an APEX DVD player but a different one and it has always worked perfectly fine, so I thought this was a good deal. Yeah, not so much. It worked fine for the first month and a half or so, but I noticed some rattling and very strange noises when it would play a DVD. Then, I noticed that it would freeze and skip frames on perfectly good cds. Next thing I know, it won't read any of my DVDs, no matter which ones I put in. I'm giving up on this piece of junk and getting a new one in a couple of days.
DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER! YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!

Summary: APEX AD1600 DVD Player
Review: I got this DVD player for free (with the purchase of an APEX TV), so I wasn't too concerned with the many negative reviews I read about it. Needless to say, after using this DVD player frequently over the last four months, I have not experienced any problems with it. As some other reviews stated, the buttons on the remote are a little too small but that's only a very minor inconvenience. The one problem I do have with this DVD player is that I cannot turn it off with the remote no matter how I angle the remote. However, I quickly got used to this and until writing this review I haven't even thought about it. The bottom line is I'm happy with my APEX DVD player.

Summary: This is a piece of junk, and customer service is no help....
Review: we have had this machine for 10 months, and it refuses to play any movie DVD, including brand new ones. Support is not helpful either, and have waited several weeks for them to get back to me. Avoid this product!

Summary: Worked great -- for a time
Review: I gave this 5 stars at first. It worked great and had a wonderful picture -- at a great price. Now that we have had it a year, it recognizes less than half the disks we give it, otherwise showing the "No Disc" error. Now that it's below $50, it might be worth it if you think of it as a rental.

Summary: A Good DVD Player when it's working
Review: Actually i was deceived with this Player , i asked a friend of mine who lives in the Gulf region to buy me a Decent and good priced DVD player due to the fact of the high prices of the DVD players in my country ( that was from about an year and half , they are suitable priced now ) and he got me this DVD player . It worked very fine at first with a very Clear picture and good sound , and played all the Audio,Pictures and Audio CDs , and then things started to get a dark turn , some movies was played in very poor performance but others played fine , and then the main problem came when it started indicating the iritating message (No Disk) upon inserting any DVD , i kept trying with it and sometimes it displayed the above message and other times didn't and then for more darker turn it started making strange noises when loading the DVDs with rattling noises , i started searching for some place to fix it and here comes the great surprise....APEX doesn't have a customer service or Authrized Agent not only in The middle east but also in Europe!! and i have read on several web sites that they have very costly Maintainance operations ,and i was stuck with it . It seems that APEX's desire to produce a player which plays all those formats with a very low price resulted in such poor performance and manufacturing for the DVD unit , needles to say i had to open the case to fix it myself and to clean the DVD lens and i was struck by the Cheap looking parts that structured into it , now it works fine for a while and then starts to disfunction again and i do the repair myself ( i have learnt how to do it myself and fix the NO DISK problem but i can't post it here ) . So this APEX DVD Player is Good while it's working , but if it starts to have problems and you are out of the Gurantee Period or you are living outside the US you have to fix it yourself ot go and buy some decent player like Sony,LG or Toshiba , and don't ever be deceived by the cheap prices when buying HI TECH devices .

Summary: Makes a great door stop, no wait, it can't even do that!
Review: Picked this unit up at Best Buy here in Canada about six months ago as a spare DVD player in the family room. This unit may have played a total of ten DVD's before the only thing it could display was "NO DISC". I thought no big deal take it back for repair /replace @ Best Buy. They informed me to call Apex, day 1 sat on hold for 30 min before gave up so I sent an email to customer service, day 2 no response to e-mail, day 3 no response to e-mail, day 4 no response to e-mail so I called back and only waited 20 min this time before an Apex support tech in formed me of the following: They will repair the unit for $39.95US (about $60 CAN)
But you must ship it to them in Ontario California?????
So you would be looking at $30US return (about $45 CAN) Quick math that is $105 CAN to repair a unit that cost $89.99 CAN? ****APEX IS TO BE AVOIDED **** Next time I will spend the extra $20 to get a reputable name brand unit. Very disappointed in both APEX and Best Buy for offering this garbage to the public.

Summary: Shake, Rattle and Hum
Review: I bought this about 6 months ago. I now have it in mothballs, since I started getting the dread, "no disk" message periodically. When it works, it often sounds like a Mack Truck, but not always. Wasn't able to figure out the source of the terrible vibration noise. Overall quality is poor, and I would avoid this beast.

Summary: Keep Looking
Review: My machine is extremely, annoyingly, noisy! I've never owned a dvd player before, but I just can't imagine people having to tolerate that background flutter. On some disks, the picture "locks up" momentarily quite often. This too is quite annoying. I returned the machine to my local dealer and he replaced it with a new one, but I don't have a lot of hope for this new machine.
