Summary: people with video issue's
Review: I think most of you people complaining about no video is due to you hitting the wrong button either the P/N = Pal/Ntsc or the I/P is set to progressive scan..another stupid move.
I know not everyone is going to have good luck with this but mines plays fine and plays everything except divx, theres a region hack but not many have gotten it to work

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: I purchased this as a Christmas gift on 12-4-03. It worked from 12-26 to 1-9 at which time the picture failed completely (see other negative reviews-my unit wasn't the only one this happened to.) I tried calling the support number for a week, several times a day, and always got a busy signal. I also registered the unit online and posted two messages to the Apex support person (there can't possibly be more than one!). Neither message was answered (they ask for 24 hours before replying - I've been waiting 27 days.) I finally returned the unit to the company along with copies of my messages and return info. Let me quote a customer service rep from one of the authorized APEX service locations in my state (they only service APEX tv's, not dvd players): "You can send it in, but I wouldn't count on ever seeing it or a replacement again."

Summary: BARELY WORKED
Review: It only read the dvds 10% of the time, otherwise I would get a NO DISC screen. I got this dvd player as a gift and had to send it back. Amazon was supposed to send me another one, but didn't and sent me a gift certificate instead (I'm guessing because the price has gone up on this unit since December).

Summary: Has problems reading some DVDs
Review: GOOD: Progressive scan player for a relatively low price (although the better known manufacturers like Toshiba, Pioneer, and Panasonic are now offering lower-priced progressive scan players as well). Seems to read most DVDs fine, and reads quietly (I had a Pioneer player that had fairly loud disc spin noise). Also, I have not had trouble reading SVCDs that I created and VBR MP3 CDs (my old Apex AD-1200 had trouble with these). Output through component connections looks very good, on my non-HD TV.BAD: I've had this player for several months and it reads most discs, but it would not recognize several discs that were clean and read on other players (from Friends Season 2). It would just spin up and stop, and display "no disc". My other gripe is the incredibly crappy remote, which is worse than other, cheaper Apex units. For some reason they made the navigation buttons all one button, a ring around the enter/play button. You have to press the buttons hard and frequently I end up pressing enter when I meant to scroll. Also, for some reason the picture looks washed out on S-Video, with lots of color bleeding, compared to a component connection (should not be much of a perceptible difference on a 27" TV).

Summary: Pretty Good..
Review: OK this is our first DVD player so what do I know. I checked out the amazon reviews and I'm pleased to say mine worked, works, fine right out of the box. I like the auto fit feature = you can stretch widescreen dvd's to normal. Lot's of other features that I need to find out about. Looks OK - very shiny chrome and mirrors. Things that I'd prefer different - there's a red light that shines when it's turned off! And the remote is cheap and cheasy - not sure how long it'll last, but for 50 bucks what the heck!!

Summary: Great DVD Player
Review: I wanted a dvd player that had basic features and would be able to play DVD -R format disc's that I had made myself. When I 1st tried it I found that it had no problem playing the more expensive DVD -R media disc's that other players would play but to my surprise was able to play cheep media that I had burned that I couldn't get to work before in anything but the DVD burner itself that I had made the disc with. Easy to use, small form factor, and looks good to boot. Very Happy!

Summary: Customer service is non-existent!!!!
Review: I wish I could give negative stars!!! I bought this dvd player in November. I have an Apex ad600 for a few years now which still works great today. I figured with a great first product and with this one having more features than the 600 I would buy one. What a mistake!!! After about an hour it starts skipping like the dvd's are dirty. I've tried several dvd's and even new ones do the same thing. I have Ice Age and it keeps telling me no disc. I've tried someone elses and the same thing happens. I tried e-mailing Apex and they come back saying undeliverable. I've tried leaving questions on their site never to have them answered. I just want to at least try an exchange but you can't get through to their number, it's always busy. That makes sense though, with all the substandard products they make. Do not buy this product or any Apex product unless you are looking to be frustrated and lose money!!!

Summary: Keep shopping, don't stop here
Review: I bought this as a gift for my sister. It has never worked. I've attempted to connect this unit to several different TVs, using a multitude of connection methods, and I still can't get a video signal from the machine. I highly regret trying to save a few $ with this purchase.

Summary: Worst customer service on record.
Review: Purchased the AD-2600 about a month ago and have had numerous problems with it. The most recent is that it will stop responding to the on/off button. The light goes from red to green but no display or any operation whatsoever. I end up unplugging it from the wall for a few hours and when I try again it will work fine...at least until this problem arises again. I've registered this unit at www.apexdigialinc.com and listed the problem. They claim to respond in a 24 hour period yet it's been 2 weeks without a reply. I've sent 10 e-mails to their customer service department requesting an RA with no response. I've called the service number and if it's not busy, it rings forever then eventually dumps you. Once I actually got to an answering machine and left a message. Still no response. I will never purchase anything from this company ever again and have logged my complaint with the BBB.
