Summary: This DVD player ruined Christmas - twice!
Review: I ordered TWO of these puppies for Christmas gifts. When we tried to hook up the first one, it was broken - the motor would not eject discs or close the door. Strike 1.When I tried to install the second DVD player in my brothers house, THAT ONE DIDN"T WORK EITHER! Imagine my shock - and absolute instant disdain for any products made by Apex. The 2nd DVD player had a faulty power supply which caused to occasionally not turn on. Do not recommend.

Summary: Let the Countdown begin Apex
Review: What can I say, I bought the ad600 2 years ago and it was probly the best dvd player ever, Quality design, stable, plus it uses a standard ide interface so you can use an old dvd drive from your computer if the player dies. In the last month I bought the apex ad-1600 and the ad-1220. And have returned both. The ad-1600 didn't work corectly from the start and the ad-1220 lasted about a week and a half before it started to act up. My recommendation is to wait on buying one from this company as they will surely get sent a message of many returned dvd players after christmas 2003. I hoping they will then begin building quality dvd players again, as I do like them. It really doesn't make any cents$$ to build a great reputation then destroy it from lack a research and testing in one season. Amazon is AWAESOME!! They refunded my $$$ so fast and paid for the shipping back. What more could you ask for.

Summary: Price vs Performance
Review: For the price,it's a very nice DVD player. The front door is miss aligned on my unit and you have to manually life it up just so slightly for the door to close, a very annoying thing after ahwile. It does play a wide range of formats as advertised which is very nice. And so far have not had any problems with DVDs not being able to play. Recommended to anyone looking to purchase a low priced DVD player and not expecting any bells or whistles from a brand name one like SONY.

Summary: My first DVD player and I'm well satisfied!
Review: I finally joined the 21st Century and bought this DVD player. I knew nothing about DVDs before this but with this machine I figured it all out very quickly. I only wanted something to play DVDs on but this machine has all these other features that I probably will never use but it's nice to know that there're there. The machine is very light and slim and fits nicely into my TV stand. I've had no problems at all so far and I'm very happy. I applied a $25 Amazon gift voucher I got for Christmas so I only ended up paying $29 for this machine. Even if I had paid full price I would have considered this a good deal.

Summary: I will give it one more try!
Review: I purchased the AD 2600 from another company last month and was very satisfied with my purchase, until last night. I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean and decided to watch the extras disc. The player kept displaying "no disc", so I tried the disc in another machine and sure as @#*! it worked. I even went as far as calling the technical support number on the disc. The person I talked to suggested I take the DVD player back and swap it out with another. The other company is currently "out of stock" so I ordered another from Amazon and will be taking the original back to the competitor today. Hopefully the replacement from Amazon will work just fine. If not I will avoid APEX products in the future. Besides the one problem, this machine is amazing! It plays everything, even VCD's. If only it played stand alone AVI files.
If no problems occur with replacement unit I will keep the 4 star rating. If problem occurs again I will repost my new rating.

Summary: Well worth the money
Review: I will never use all the "whistles and bells" this machine is capable of. But for what I do use it is perfect. I was, however. somewhat disappointed that I could not "hook up" to my Sony Multi Brand Remote Commander. Small problem.

Summary: APEX and REMOTE CONTROL
Review: Hi,
Many people are saying, "You get what you pay for, I guess." Well that is not true. You could have paid MORE and got a lot less. I paid $49 and now it's $125!
You have to ask yourself, "How much money is dissapointment worth?" Because, you will be dissapointed. Then you can say, "My dissapointment only cost $39." I think a $39 dissapointment is better then a $125 dissapointment!
So, without further adoo... 1) Frame freezes and the family yells, "DAD! Somethings wrong with the DVD player! Come quick!" 2) The remote works, but then it does not work, and you are left standing there thinking you are doing something wrong. 3) You must press the play button and hold it for a couple of seconds otherwise it will not work and you will think the whole unit is broken. 4) It did play my JPEG photos but WOW, trying to figure it out was really something! 5) This APEX model 2600 will not work with my universal remote control. I dare you to surf the net and find the code. You will be told GOLDSTAR codes work, and you will be told Zenith codes will work, and RADIO SHACK will give you APEX codes but they will not work. Finally you will read a post somewhere that ALL CODES ARE USELESS for the APEX 2600. And then you will start to belive them.
If this is your fist DVD player. Save yourself some aggrivation.

Summary: Keep your receipt
Review: Bought two ad2600's for Christmas. One still works fine, the other quit after one day. Owner's manual has substandard troubleshooting guide. Apex's website is down and they won't answer their phone.

Review: The DVD Player is fine. To get back to the menu of the dvd you have to press "menu" on the remote while the dvd is playing. If the dvd is stopped, it will display "playback only". Little inconveinent, but unlike other players I only paid 40$. K-dog

Summary: Fantastic DVD Player for the price
Review: I purchased one of these to replace an ailing DVD player that's a few years old. Of course, I was hesitant given the price, but I've been extremely impressed since receiving it, and bought a second one as a Christmas present for my parents. The picture is perfect, although I'm not watching on an HDTV. It seems to be a little slow when identifying a new disc that's inserted - maybe 10 seconds of wait. Also, if you're an audiophile, you'll want to get your own cables because the supplied ones are thin and short. But, dollar for dollar, this DVD player is probably the best out there.
