Summary: very disappointed
Review: I just purchased this product at Sears at a very, very low price for my daughter. It never did recognize the disc. It just kept saying "loading" after we put the disc in. We tried it several times. We will exchange it for another one. Hopefully it will work.

Summary: Junk , plain and simple
Review: I purchased this Apex DVD player on a Sunday and by Tuesday evening, It was on its way back to Sears. This player sucks. I figured I would try it out Sunday evening and rented a movie. Within twenty minutes of the movie, the player started freezing up and the sound completely went in and out. This continued to happen throughout the movie. I would turn the player off and restart again and same thing over and over. Freezing of the movie, lost sound and also.. the open and close button on the player seemed to work when it wanted to. Also, there seemed to be an odor coming from the machine when I turned it on. This DVD player is cheap for the money and now I know why. Nothing more than junk. Don't waste your money. I took it back and bought a Samsung for more money and so far so good. I can't believe the Apex would sell such junk. The store clerk at Sears says that they sell a lot of these players. I am willing to bet they have lots of returns too. I am giving this Apex product a 1 star. One good thing is the remote was easy to manage, still I wouldn't buy it and I am done with Apex products.

Summary: Highly recommend you look elsewhere.
Review: I received this as a gift. It didn't work properly from the start, often refusing to open the DVD tray. Because I had another DVD player, I lent it to a friend. It worked when I demonstrated it, plugged it in, etc. She tried to watch a DVD last night, it wouldn't work. I thought perhaps I was just unlucky, but based on the other reviews, I suggest you don't waste your money on this product. It is a very poor value at any price.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: I've never owned a DVD player before, so I can only base my opinion of this on what I've heard about others. I baught this one because it was a great price, and I was ready to buy into the hype about DVDs. Well, in all honesty, I rather prefer my VCR. My VCR has better picture/sound quality than this thing, and it was extremely cheap when we baught it. I have to turn the volume up dramatically just to be able to hear the speech over background noise. The pictures are dull. And the bloody thing has been skipping and freezing since the day I baught it. I can't watch a movie without having to stop it, turn the DVD player off, and restarting it again. Still, that doesn't prevent it from skipping. On top of that, it doesn't play the picture and the sound together. It makes the movies look badly dubbed. You get what you pay for right? Well, I'd suggest not wasting your money on this piece of crap. Spend the extra money and get one you'll actually enjoy.

Summary: So far, better than so good
Review: I've owned about 6 DVD players, the last one being an AD-1100W (which is still going strong), and needed another so I picked up an AD-1225.. so far it has really impressed me. The menus, particularly the setup and MP3 playing menus, are much nicer aesthetically than on the 1100W, and quality of both picture and sound seems superior. Component video output, BOTH coaxial and optical digital audio outs, a greatly improved remote over earlier ones (no more SHIFT key for navigating menus!), WMA playback and a host of other improvements.I have to assume that the reviewers who had serious problems with this player simply were unlucky - maybe Apex has some quality control issues, but in this day and age returning a unit for another one is usually a piece of cake, and nobody else has anything near as good as this for the price of two or three movies on DVD!

Summary: Terrible experience with this player!
Review: Let me just start the review by saying I had an Apex AD-1100w and it worked fine for no problems for a year but after a storm it shot sparks out at me so I blame that on the storm. As for this player I did not have such a good experience. As the previous review mentioned it would glitch while playing back a dvd and then just freeze up, but mine would never recover it would then just say loading no matter what disc I put in. If I left it off for a long time (like a few hours) then all of the sudden I could get it to play movies, for a little while. Then it would do the same thing. So I took it back and got another one. Guess what. SAME EXACT PROBLEM. The DVDs played fine in my computer. I took it back and got another brand and have not been having problems.

Summary: Returned after a week
Review: The positive: Cheap, pretty good picture & sound quality. The Negative: Poorly made. Sometimes had to push eject button 3-4 times before a disk would eject. AFF function (which modifies widescreen to fill more of a standard TV) totally distorts the picture, & is unwatchable (the already thin actors look ridiculously tall & thin). After a few days the video began freezing in mid play, at first approx 1 second glitches, but soon it would just totally freeze and require a restart. Conclusion: Returned unit, & swithced brands.
