Description:

Apex's affordable PD-100 features a compact, 5.8-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) LCD, a built-in speaker for headphone-free listening, and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-Toslink optical cable, which is not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

S-video and composite-video outputs simplify hookup with a home TV. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Virtual Surround Sound simulates surround sound through two speakers or headphones. Playback options include frame-by-frame slow motion, zoom, screen saver, multiple angle viewing (with applicable discs), and programmable track sequencing.

The PD-100 comes with an AC adapter and a rechargeable battery pack good for about 300 charges. Each full recharge takes about three hours. A fully charged battery can power the unit for about two hours. Power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness and volume level. Supplied accessories include an AC-DC adapter, a user's manual, and a full-function remote control. Headphones are not included.
