Summary: Great Value for the Price
Review: I just received my Apex AD-1600 today and I could not be more pleased! For the price you receive an excelent DVD player that can also play CDs (nothing new,)Video CDs, MP3s, WMAs, JPGs, and Kodak picture files. I have seen many DVD players for a lot more money that are not nearly as adaptable. The only downside I can see so far is that the disk drive is a little noisy. (I placed the player on a folded hand towel to help absorb some of the noise and that seems to have eliminated the problem.) So, if you are looking for a good machine for a low price grab this one!

Review: I do not recommend this item. When I received this DVD player it did not work right off hand. I cut it on put a disc in and it read "no disc", and then it was very hard to get the disc back out. It did not want to eject the disc. From now on I will stick with Sony although it might cost a bit more but my T.V., 2 DVD players, 3 VCR's, surround system, and playstations are doing just fine. I had bought it for a Christmas present, but WON"T EVER stray from Sony again!!!!

Summary: Works great, reads every format I've thrown at it
Review: This box is great. I should've bought one a long time ago. I've read the reviews that some people were not able to play VCDs but so far I haven't had a single problem playing VCD, SVCD, DVD-R and all the other normal formats. I've burned most of the VCD and SVCD on cheap CDR media and the DVD-R myself and have had no playback problems so far. The remote isn't very ergonomically designed and range isn't very good (you have to point it at the unit), but the price and performance of the unit overall is unbeatable.

Summary: Read ALL Reviews - Don't Buy!
Review: Should have read ALL reviews! Machine is a few months old and refuses to read any disc ... "No Disc" is all it says ... if you hit it, it catches and "might" read the DVD. Seems to be a pattern of [quitting] at over 90 days ... when the labor warranty expires which means the cost of repair is greater than buying a new one ... regardless of one year parts warranty! VERY disappointing!

Summary: Hassle-free DVDs
Review: We've had this for three months of pretty heavy use and have had none of the problems others described in terms of "no disc" errors or noise. It's fine if you just need a basic DVD player.

Summary: Works Great
Review: I personally am not very picky about picture quality, with that said, the Apex 1600 player performs great. It plays everything I threw at, from MP3, VCD, to DVD....this players also plays DVDs from ALL regions which is the main reason I got it for. The built quality of the player itself is not bad for [its price], kinda stylish with its silver color. The player is also not very picky about the kinda of disc it plays, I had some skips while watching a VCD on a Samsung v1000, but the Apex had no problems. But from reading other reviews, there seems to be some inconsistencies with the quality of the DVD player. Overall: You get the most out of you money with this entry level DVD player.

Summary: we've only had this machine for a couple of weeks...
Review: but so far I am quite satisfied. I can't imagine why anyone would spend more than 100 bucks on a DVD player with machines of this quality for this price.

Summary: Questionable reliability
Review: The company that sells the Apex brand of electronics is based in South Korea and designs its products in South Korea and manufactures them in other Asian countries with low labor costs. The DVD players are mostly manufactured in China, and they tend to promise a lot of features but have questionable design and build quality. The AD1600 out of the box seems a decent DVD player, if a bit flimsy looking, but after about 3 months it would give occasional, but annoying, "no disc" errors. I also can't get VCDs I bought in Asian shops to work in this model. Anyone else having similar problems? In the future I think I'll stick with Japanese brand names like Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Pioneer, and also European names like RCA (French) and Philips (Dutch), for better quality, which ultimately gives a better value.
