Summary: What a great DVD player
Review: Apex is the best value in the market. I have used this unit for 3 month now and am very happy with it. It takes everything I throw at it. It replaced a Panasonic progressive unit which I owned for only a week. That Panasonic had hard time to read MP3 and JPEG discs I burned, but this Apex unit take them all with ease. a couple of DVD's I played had scratches all over and my DVD-ROM refuse to read. But this Apex read both like nothing is wrong. The only thing that I may wish it had is options on display mode. It has zoom function though. So if you play 2.35:1 on 4:3 TV, 2x zoom get you close to full screen, and if you play 1.8:1 then you have to watch in that format (which I prefer). Overall, a solid product with tons of features and unblievable price. I paid [$] but that was still a great great buy!

Summary: Two thumbs up!
Review: I owned a Toshiba DVD player for three years.
However, it couldn't play CDR/DVD- R, so I decided
to get a new toy. I first bought a Sony NS315 from
Circuity City, for according the ads, the Sony
plays DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, it was cheap too
(...) and I had always worshiped Japanese brands
(all my electronics are made by Sony, Panasonic or
Toshiba, except my last MP3 player, the Iriver ifp
180t, found in Best buy). Then one day I saw a
review on [Amazon.com], for the same price, the Apex
2500 plays everything! I love the word
"everything", so I decided to give Apex 2500 a
try. I searched the net, though Sears advertised
it on it's web, the local store didn't carry it. I
ended up ordering one by mail from J&R in New York
(...).I got this unit two days ago, and I found I am
obligated to write my experience here. In summary,
I am more than satisfied, it is an astonishing
unit, full of surprises! 1. Amazing picture, better than that from my Sony
or Toshiba. 2. Plays MPEG movies: when plays MPG movies, the
quality is comparable with that on my computer,
even better than the output of my computer when
using a TV! (I have a regular Panasonic TV, no a
progressive one). 2. Plays DVD-R/RW (not sure about DVD+R/RW). 3. Plays PAL DVDs. I didn't expect this! Just
tried on some DVDs friends brought me from China,
Thailand and Canada and it plays them all. 4. Plays JPEG pictures: the picture quality is very
impressive. 5. Progressive scan: I don't have a high
definition TV, not benefitting from this feature,
but it doesn't hurt. 6. Plays MP3/WMA. 7. Plays CDR/RW. 8. Karaoke capabilities built right in: there are
two microphone inputs. I didn't expect these
neither. Another surprise! 9. Optical/Coaxial/S-video/Dolby, all the usual good stuff. 10. For those interested, it could display menu in Chinese. 11. Stylish: yes, sexy and good looking! 12. Cheap, cheap and cheap: ... for all the above features! I am going to return the Sony. no more superstitious
on Japanese brands! Weakness: the audio output maybe not be as
impressive as my Toshiba; The buttons
on remote control could be more intuitive and meaningful.

Review: I will probably not buy apex anymore. My apex 2500 will not start any of the dvd disks & it kept on going "idle". Very mad. I figure amazon.com checks out the products it carries. Will trash this junk. In the future I will stick with name brands such as Panasonic or JVC.

Summary: Excellent Product. Best Buy!
Review: This DVD, Apex 2500 is absolutely awesome! Nothing beats this further. I bought an Apex 1200 few months ago after reading some reviews but when I brought it home, everything was functioning well except for playing VCDs. So I had to return it as I was looking for some real budget DVD player which could also play VCDs. I did alot of research and luckily for me, I stumbled upon this 2500 model and after reading the reviews and doing enough research, I clicked the " buy " buttom. This dvd player is just like a monster. It can practically play anything. Yes, anything from DVD to VCD, Mpeg files, MP3 files, Cd-r and Kodak Picture. At first I did not really believe those reviews as I had a bad experience once, but this time, I am really glad that this player is the best one can ever ask for. Its small, its light, its cheap! yes, very very affordable, considering the amount of features it has and most importantly, it can play almost anything! Buy now, wait no further. If you still considering for a DVD player, this will be the best buy. Even if you don't like the brand, trust its features, it will shock you tremendously.

Summary: Everything I wanted and more in one DVD player
Review: The High-resolution Progressive Scan picture is Awesome! It does my HDTV flat screen TV justice! The Apex Full-screen Function feature turns any wide screen DVD picture into full screen eliminating the cut off top and bottom portion of the picture. Plays DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, and HDCD-encoded discs It can let you view JPEG Picture files and pictures on any Kodak picture-CD The Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel digital output (for immerse surround sound when used with a compatible AV receiver) provides awesome sound. 4 x zoom and 8 x fast forward work well and the picture remains sharp. But most of all! Finally a Progressive Scan DVD player that actually plays MP3s randomly (shuffle). When you can lay down about 140 MP3 songs on one CD why should they only let you play them one order. This great player will actually let you play MP3s randomly! I have waited a long time for this fabulous DVD/MP3 player! I am a very picky gadget man and have bought and returned several DVD players after I have found out they fell short in on area or another. (This occurred many times since most sales people did not know what an MP3 file was never mind whether the DVD player would be able to play them in random order if desired.) This DVD player has exceeded my every expectation! No I do not work nor have any affiliation with APEX Digital I just am very pleased with a product that finally does everything I want and more!

Summary: Played DVDs Sony and Dell laptops couldn't play
Review: I bought this player for karaoke functions. It's sad most DVD players in US don't carry this feature...but anyway, i'm compelled to write this review not because its mic function is so fabulous, but because i've been able to play many DVDs that were not playable on me and my friend's laptop (Sony grv550 and Dell 4150, both bought during Xmas 6 months ago) Just a few examples, my sony grv550 would skip on the 21st chapter of Die Another Day and my friend(college roommate)'s dell would not play the Ring 2 (US version) we bought from Blockbuster. Both discs work flawlessly on Apex. I don't know, but it's just frustrating when the playback is not smooth (pause/resume,etc) and the dvd drive is highly sensitive and only accept the perfectly maintained discs. I also tried mp3, karaoke discs (vcd, mtv), audio cd, and pic CD. Everything works flawlessly. The unit is not the sleekest, but definitely blends w/ home theater system and the remote is a bit confusing at first, but it's no big deal. As long as you don't get a defective unit (i noticed some reviewers are among the unlucky few), you can't possibly go wrong w/ this feature rich, COMPATIBLE(plays everything i throws at it), and low price player. Oh yea, the karaoke function works very well, and it comes w/ two microphone inputs.

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: The first unit I had was dead on arrival. The second unit I received was scratched but seemed to play alright. After two months of normal usage it began to randomly fail to play. It began freezing during films for up to 10 seconds at a time before continuing to play. This had nothing to do with the actual DVDs as the same scene wouldn't neccessarily cause the problem to repeat itself. Since others are raving about it, your mileage may vary. I imagine it is just really bad quality assurance on their part.

Summary: Best DVD Player I have ever had.
Review: After reading the reviews I thought to myself, " Are they talking about the same DVD player?" I have had this player for 6 months & have never had a problem with it. I have it hooked up to a Toshiba Flatscreen Widescreen HDTV & the picture & sound are perfect. I probably would not recommend this player to someone with an old TV. It's great for High Definition TV's but would probably be no different than any other DVD player on a regular TV. The remote works fine, the tray has never given me a problem. It's very light and feels cheap but it's not. Only the price is cheap. It plays every format I have ever tried, including ,PAL, MP3,MPEG & VCD. Read the owners manual good before hooking it up and use new batteries in the remote & you should have no problem. The only issue I have with this player is that it will only play region 1 disks & there is no hack that can change this.

Summary: Outstanding product--what a sleeper!
Review: I purchased this DVD player while deployed to Afghanistan. It was on sale at Amazon.com and I didn't know what to expect (though nearly all reviews set my expectations fairly high). The DVD player arrived and it has played everything I've thrown at it (even local movies purchased at the local bazaar which are probably 'knock-offs' from Pakistan). This is a great product and it has made me put stock in the APEX brand.
