Summary: Very Mediocre
Review: I got this as my first DVD player not knowing what the differences between the various products are. I figured that the cheapest would be just fine. That was one of the most naive things I've ever done! The sound is delayed from the movement so it looks as if the movies were dubbed! Also- it has a major overexposure. There are also many times when it skips on brand-new movies!! All in all, I would not reccomend this, even to non-enthusiasts.

Summary: Does not play PAL formatted disks
Review: I bought this unit to play my PAL DVD disks along with NTSC disks. This unit is advertised as being able to play PAL-formatted disks. However, this is not true. It will only play NTSC region 1 disks. This was verified to me by APEX tech support.

Summary: Way ahead of others in this price range.
Review: Nothing in the price range comes close. Never had a problem, first time I took the dive away from the regular SOny, Panasonic etc. group because I saw it play at my friend's house and he loved it. Great Progressive Scan Technology, great picture, great sound. Plays anything. Great Great Great.

Summary: First DVD Player purhase
Review: This is my first DVD player purchase and I am glad I bought the Apex AD-800! I have an older home theater system so I needed the DTS decoder in the DVD player. I haven't seen another DVD player at this low price, with all the features and DTS decoding. I have been using it for three months now and would buy another one if I needed it. I've recommended this one to my friends. My only complaint is that I don't like the layout of the buttons on the remote but, on the other hand, I have seen very few remotes that have a good layout.

Summary: Nice, nice, nice
Review: I had my eyes on brand name DVD players but after read reviews on amazon.com I decided to get this one. Nothing disappointed me yet. I have lots of my home-made VCDs in PAL signal and it plays them all without any difficulties. Amazing how it plays a normal MP3 disk with a list of songs from different folders on the TV screen and you can turn it into a Karaoke session. Easy plug, load, and play, many kinds of connections to choose from with all the cables, although the manual is quite bad with very few details, this might be that you needn't to do much to operate the machine. I tested it with NTSC, PAL DVDs and VCDs, no problems at all, nice for money.

Summary: A great bargain player
Review: Got it for a couple of weeks. It has been great. Took me a while to figure out how to connect to my reciever for the 5.1 feature. Picture quality has been excellent. Tried it with a VCD and it works fine (but I think my VCD was a poor quality VCD). Karaoke works too. So far, no complaint from me.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: We couldn't get through one movie without seeing, "Clean Me" REPEATEDLY on the screen. Prior to getting this message, you could see digits on the screen start to blur. We played all brand new, clean disks and had the same result. All three movies we watched did the same thing. Bummer, this one's going back.

Summary: Trouble With SVCD Format
Review: This is a good unit but beware it has trouble playing variable bitrate SVCD's. If your SVCD bitrate drops below a certain level, the picture will freeze and the audio will emit a high pitched squeal. If SVCD playback is important to you get a different player, otherwise, you will be OK with the AD-800

Summary: S-VHS Problems
Review: I have tried two of these units from SAM's club. Both had the same strange quirk. Their S-VHS cable output only displays in perfect black and white crispness. I have tried everything to diagnose the problem (multiple known good SVHS cables, multiple TVS) but it always comes back to a player defect. If I used the regular RCA video cable, the video displays OK in proper color, but it's frusterating that two new out of the box devices had the same problem. I never got the opportunity to check the three cable composite video outputs. I won't try another one.
