Summary: For the price, an excellent buy.
Review: After having bought and been disappointed in another brand of DVD player, I purchased the Apex AD2600 from Amazon and first of all I should say it was delivered MUCH more quickly than I had expected. (Good going, Amazon).
I am very pleased with the Apex AD2600....it plays just about anything you put in the drawer. So far I've played regular DVD's, backup DVD-R's, MP3 CD's, and regular CD's. I have not yet tried the photo show capability, but I'm thinking that will probably work well too, based on the success with the above mentioned disks.
I do want to mention too that it is certainly worthwhile to READ the instruction manual that comes with the unit. The comments I've read about having problems with this DVD player all seem to stem from pushing the incorrect buttons on the DVD remote....for instance, pushing the button to play PAL (European type) movies, when an NTSC (USA type) movie disk is in the disk tray. So, if you read the instructions well, you shouldn't have any problems with this DVD unit.
I can't speak to its long-term reliability, as I've only had the Apex AD2600 for a little over a week at this point. But, it seems to work so well now, that I don't anticipate any problems with it.
Bottom line for me is that for the price I don't think you can go wrong at all by purchasing this DVD player.

Summary: Excellent Second DVD, or first DVD for HDTV Ready TV
Review: WOw! Simple to use and hook up. Comes with standard rca jacks for output, along with S-video output (S-video cable not included, must be purchased seperately). and also component video outputs. The progressive scan option can be turned off easily by a button on the remote control which is one of the simplest and easiest remote controls I have ever seen or used. I also own an "APEX AD 1201" dvd player and have had no problems with it since I purchased it almost 1 1/2 years ago. One big difference between the 1201 and the 2600 models is that the 2600 model is virtually silent. and doesn't need to be placed in a cabinet like the 1201 does. Friends of mine who own APEX tv sets are also all very pleased. I would not hesitate to purchase this if you are uncertain of the brand name. Consider it for a future gift too!

Summary: Save your money
Review: This DVD play is basicly junk. It won't play all of my movies. Keeps coming up with no disk errors. I tried called APEX Cust service, no help. Don't waste your money. Mine was 2 weeks old and I chucked it in the trash, where it belongs. This is the 4 apex player that I have bought.. You might think you are saving money by buying an APEX but in the long run you will spend more. Each of the 4 lasted less than six months.. You can get a pretty good progressive scan Sony or Toshiba now for 68 bucks just about anywhere.. Spend the money its well worth it..

Summary: what a DVD player !
Review: This is the best DVD player I've purchased. I've owned a Panasonic and Sony DVD and this one outperforms in function and image quality and most of all, access speed. For those of you who has problems with this player, I'd suggest checking the owners manual to get the right setting so that you are not displaying the wrong mode and have no picture, etc. This player has worked flawlessly for me and at this price, you can't go wrong. 80% of the features on here you will not get by spending $100 on a Sony or Panasonic. Having said that, this is what you do..........."add to cart" ! "check out" ! "enjoy" !

Summary: Apex ad2600 known capadabilty problem
Review: I have sent my ad2600 back to Apex because it won't play certain Disney and other dvd movies (no Disc message). They sent me a new ad2600 with the same problem. I call Apex customer service and they told me that there is a known problem with the model playing Disney and other movies and that it is not there problem so I'm stuck with a new dvd player that won't play my kids Disney movies.

Summary: Value for money!
Review: I bought this DVD player mainly because my old Sharp DVD player could not play most of the DVDs from the store that I rent from and I had to watch them using my PC's DVD-Rom player. Well, this Apex DVD player turned out great! It plays basically every media I've tested so far, even an old VCD that I ripped years ago and the rental DVD that couldn't be played on my old $200 Sharp player! I have to say I'm also pretty impressed by the user interface for playing JPEG, MP3 and MPEG files stored on CD-Rs/DVDs. It's almost like having a media player/file manager built into the DVD player. I did not want to have high expectations for this Apex player because of the price but it is definitely working out much better than what I would expect from an expensive high-end player. What more can you ask for from a $40 DVD player? I guess I'm just lucky to get a good working unit! Hope the unit lasts as I've only had it for 3 days. And the slim form-factor together with the mirror-like front panel sure makes the player look cool and pricey! One bad thing though, I find the remote-control a bit flimsy and I predict it will most probably 'die' before the player does.
Finally, Amazon's free shipping is really getting good, it took only 3 working days for the player to reach me!

Summary: Poor quality DVD Player
Review: I purchased two of these players for Christmas gifts, and both were bad. The first one wouldn't work from the start. The second lasted about two weeks before the video went out! Amazon.com promptly refunded my money for the first one, because a replacement was not available (Thanks Amazon.com!). I am still trying to resolve the problem with the second one. I have tried several times to contact Apex Digital through their on-line support site and their telephone line, but they won't answer my emails and their telephone line is always busy. I will never buy another Apex Digital product!

Summary: You Get What You Paid For
Review: for the most part this is a good DVD player... but about 25% of DVD's i've played on ithave a problem, when watching a movie the picture will freeze, but the DVD still plays, and eventualy the picture kicks back in after skipping a few moments. Usually I just skip to the next chapter to avoid it. Annoying.

Summary: No picture and/or no sound, try I/P button on the remote
Review: We have had this product for over a month and yesterday it stopped working. It is connected to an old television set via composite video and analog audio outputs. There was neither picture nor sound. Connecting the same outputs to a video card in my computer, there was sound but still no picture. The trouble shooting section in the user's manual, suggesting correct and secure connections, doesn't help.I searched on the internet and found one tip which solved our problem: press I/P button on the remote control. It makes the dvd player to switch between interlace mode and progressive scan mode. Obviously there is no composite video output and different analog audio signals at progressive scan mode. We are overall pleased with product. I would have rated it five stars but for the poor manual.
