Summary: Crawling in my skin
Review: This is a great DVD player. It has everything you want (even comes with MP3) at a price you can't beat. It has a karaoke mode which is a lot of fun. It's such a good buy. It's easy to set up and easy to use. A great first DVD player for anyone who is thinking of getting a DVD player. I wouldn't use it on my HDTV home theater, but if you just want something simple that looks great, this is the one. It has good sound and picture for the price. Haven't had any problems with it, what can I say I love it. It was cool.Big Truck

Summary: Apex AD-800
Review: I was apprehensive about purchasing this player after reading some bad reviews, but bought it anyway and am extremely happy with it. If you want a DVD player that plays any kind of CD-R, DVD-R, etc., this is the model for you. It plays ANYTHING you throw at it, it could probably even play a old record (kidding). The quality is much better than the older Apex products, but there are some sharp screws on the bottom of the unit. Stay away from Sony if you want it to play CD-R's or homemade Video CD's. They don't like these discs!

Summary: Powerful, Versatile, Economincal ... I'm in love!
Review: I bought this unit the day after Christmas. I have since spent many hours in front of it. Besides playing almost every format of disc known, it is firmware upgradable, so it will likely keep pace with new formats as they become available. One reviewer said that it was not user-friendly. Do not confuse a great degree of user-selectable preferences as being complicated. Novice users can play it right out of the box, but power users will find it ultimately enjoyable. Plus, with Progressive Scan, I will be able to use this player even after I upgrade to a digital TV! And the price speaks for itself. APEX is breaking new ground by offering high end products at K-Mart prices. Keep up the good work!

Summary: A Techies Dream
Review: ... It is probably the best around for the price. Though it can be sluggish and tempermental, it gives you an unbelievable amount of control. From zooming and panning to speaker tweaking, you can do anything you would ever need to with the touch of a button. The mp3 control is very strange and almost old fashioned, but it puts out great sound. The remote is interesting and takes some time to adjust to, but gets the job done. And the unit itself is freakishly huge (It's almost twice as big as my vcr) but not that intrusive. So If you like having complete control over your dvd viewing and love features galore, this is definitely the dvd player for you.

Summary: Good A/V Quality, But Read The Manu First
Review: This unit provides excellent A/V output when you have HDTV and Digital Receiver. To achieve best out, you do need to read the menu including the fine prints. I did encountered problem using S-Video and Karaoke function at first try, but resolved by going back to the menu a couple of time. My unit was able to read scratched disks.

Summary: Apex AD-800 is the perfect budget player avoid pricy players
Review: This is the most bang for the buck on the market now, it plays
every disc format, something many more expensive machines don't
offer and the software is firmware upgradable and it has all the bells and whistles of the expensive players. The only down side is the remote is a little clumsy to use and the warranty is only 90 days on the labor. ...

Summary: Good picture quality, but many problems
Review: My new APEX AD-800 provided good picture and sound on DVDs, but could not read half of my VCDs (commercially produced VCDs). I think the laser is out of alignment. I found the unit to be very user-unfriendly. The remote control is poorly laid out, and performing a simple fast forward/reverse task is painful. The unit does not automatically switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio (wheras my Panasonic does), so I have to manually set the aspect ratio each time I switch from a widescreen DVD to a VCD or a 4:3 DVD. I have read reviews that tout the AD-800 as a great toy for a technical person due to its many user-adjustable parameter settings. But I think the unit had so many user-adjustable parameters because it lacks the intelligence to set them automatically. The Karaoke function is very limited, as it has no ability to adjust the key and no vocal assist function. I had high hopes for the AD-800 due to its many advertised features, but I am quite disappointed by the poor quality control and user-unfriendliness.

Summary: Navagation is horrible
Review: First off, the picture quality is great. I have a 53 inch Sony HDTV and the picture is great. There are so many features in this baby you'd get sick trying to tweak it all. The only issue I have is the navagation features are horrible. Trying to fast forward or rewind 3 seconds if you missed something someone said takes 3 minutes to get where you need to go. The remote sucks big time.
