Summary: A piece of junk
Review: Door broke after a month. Unit took forever since the begiining to recognize and play discs. 3 months of use and it no longer recognizes anything. Forget about it.. It's money down the drain. Get cheaper panasonics or Toshibas or even Sonys..

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: To quote Bart: "Craptacular"
Review: Well, it was nice while it lasted. After @ 3 months, it stoppped playing higher number scenes on DVDs. As an engineer, I am embarrassed for the engineering profession when such crap is released for sale.

Summary: Poor quality
Review: Only used for 3 month before it's down! I had hoped this was bought from WalMart so that I could return it! It sends discoutinous signals to TV, so the TV has the pictures for one moment and has only the white noise for the other moment.

The other thing I don't like about this 2600 is that it makes the color look over saturated. Maybe it's good for TVs with not so good color settings, but not good for my TV that already has very vibrant pictures.

Summary: Returned after failing to play DVDs
Review: I purchased the AD2600 after feeling comfortable with the reviews I read here on Amazon. As soon as I lifted the unit out of the box, I questioned my judgement. The entire unit was poorly crafted. There were sharp screw tips on the underside of the unit coming from inside that were obviously used to anchor the internal control board. After hooking the thing up, I found that it would only played less than 50% of the DVDs I put in it. Most of the DVDs I was trying were fairly new and were in great condition. The DVD player just would't recognize them. It would spin, read, spin some more and then show on the display that there was no disc. I ended up sending the unit back to Amazon.

Summary: APEX AD2600
Review: This dvd player plays raw mpeg2 and mpeg1 videos, jpeg, wma, cdr/cdrw/dvdr/dvdrw, and of course plays dvd movies from UK...
i love the AIFF, progressive scan feature... now I would have given APEX a rating of 5 stars had this baby come with features to upgrade the firmware and was able to play divx or .avi videos... but for $49.99 GO GET ONE!!!! Features and looks this DVD player is cheap had it come with SONY or one of the other top brand names you would have to pay 2x the price I got mine for. (National Wholesale Liquadators). Mine came from a shipment from Canada. THIS UNIT COMES REGION 1 AND 2 READY. which is nice for me when I want to watch my Love Thy Neighbour, Benny Hill and New Avengers dvds I got from the UK. This unit I own is 6mths old. Any dvd to top this player would be the PHILIPS DVP642, which plays divx and comes with a scratch and sniff Pause button. (just kidding about the s&s button).

Summary: Customer Service nonexistant
Review: I have not even used my new DVD player and already I am disapointed! I have been trying for over a week to contact Apex. They will not respond to my emails (Promised turnaround time is 24 hours) and the phone line is constantly busy. All I am looking for is a rebate form!!

Summary: What a buy...
Review: I accually didn't buy the Apex AD-2600 from Amazon but, the reviews I found here helped me purchase it. I have owned an Apex AD-3201 for close to 3 years now and I love that deck. Because of it's hidden features (no macrovision, non-regional)I keep this baby around to watch non-American region DVD's. However, the AD-2600 doesn't have this feature (for now). The cool thing about the AD-2600 it plays alot of different file like MP3, WMA CDs, JPEG and Kodak picture CDs, DVD's, DVD-/+R's. It's not a listed feature but, the one thing that sold the unit is that it plays MPEG video. I find this to be a great feature. I've tried playing all of these discs and they all play great. For the money Apex machines have good features. You can't find the MPEG playback on high priced units. It's low profile, space saving design looks nice. I find the Apex AD-2600 to be a great buy.

Summary: Avoid APEX DVD Players - even if they're free!
Review: I received this DVD player free with the purchase of a Palm Tungsten E from OfficeMax. Now I know why - they are pieces of junk. Less than a month later the screen freezes and eventually shows "no disc." This is the second Apex DVD player I've had - and the last. My first player (Model AD-500A) went into the trash about 6 months after I bought it. Same story as everybody else when trying to get service from Apex - nothing. Pay a few more bucks and get something else - it'll be worth it in the long run.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Player for the Buck
Review: I was surprised to find that not only could this DVD player play MPEG2 format which allowed me to stack 2 movies on a DVD, but it also was able to play .vob files which I created with Smart Ripper. The AFF feature did a great job converting the letterbox to fill 3/4 of the screen and the image still looked normal. Loved the slim design. ...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Black and White Only after 1 month of use
Review: This unit was working fine for the 1st month and a half and then the color signal disappeared. Apex has still not responded to my email describing the problem after almost a week and their customer service line is always busy.
