Summary: Just what the doctor ordered
Review: I'm an old guy that is getting digital technology spoon feed to. I have a moderate sized computer and have found cd burning, video conversions and photogaphs are fun to do on it but I don't like spending all kinds of money that i don't need to. So what about the AD-1600,you ask. Lb for lb, $ or $ this unit delievered MORE than any Sony,Panasonic or any DVD player I tested or tried. period. play MP3's, you betcha. JPEG slide shows, good enough for this old boy. of course DVD movies worked just fine. I tried the 1200 series first and though it worked the transport was not a "long run" loading system. I don't know why APEX can bring so much in such an economical unit, they must be breaking some industry regulations. If they are, I would suggest buying this unit before they get caught. At this price, you can not go wrong!

Summary: A solid DVD player
Review: Bought this machine six months ago and have been using it heavily. It works great. It even plays VCDs, which are cheap and popular here in Manhattan, esp. if you are into Asian (i.e., Hong Kong) films. The remote control is pretty user-friendly. I like this DVD player a lot.

Summary: Apex AD-1600 - It works!
Review: Well, for the most part. I bought it to see if I could play DVD+R/RW, and it does great. My older Toshiba couldn't. I saw it skip on one commercial DVD a couple of times but haven't seen any other problems. I had seen a number of quality complaints on Apex, so I went for the more expensive model in the hope that it would work OK. So far, so good. I've had it for 2 months.

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: this dvd player was working fine, great even, until i purchased a region 3 dvd (usa is region 1 i believe) which DOES NOT play on this dvd player. so don't be fooled by the description or review that says it plays anything because it doesn't.

Summary: $39.00 for Labor
Review: It was a good DVD player until it broke down after its 90 days limited labor coverage. It can not reads any of my DVD discs. Based on Apex website, it needs the laser head realignment. Apex Digital wants [X] for the labor charge. It seems Apex does not make good quality products.

Summary: Doubt no more!
Review: Before purchasing this unit I spent many hours comparing pros and cons, weary of the lack of brand name. After weighing out the options I finally ordered it. This unit was well worth the time, and almost too good for its price. In one month we have viewed over 20 movies on it, all in various conditions, and have not had one problem. I have a TV/VCR combo and was worried this would distort the picture..no problem. CD-R, CD-RW, MP3's...every possible format has run with not one skip, freeze or pause. Overall I have been very pleased, and would recommend it to any cost conscious consumer!

Summary: both cheap and really annoying
Review: I took this back to the store. To get any response from control buttons on both the DVD and the remote took pushing the buttons hard several times. The buttons on the remote are small and too close together There are a lot of menu items but no working explainations in the user manual. I got a vertical picture about 1/3 of screen size and was unable to change it despite 30 minutes of trying various menu combinations. A better user's manual might have helped, but the controls are so annoying I would have still returned it.

Summary: great player
Review: Well guess what!!! This player will also play region 2 dvds. I have bought 2 dvds from England with region 2 coding and they play on this player. I have had this one for almost a year and have had no problems with it. The price and the fact that despite that it's not supposed to be able to play foreign dvds and it does play them makes this an excellent choice.

Summary: Unmatched value with no compromises short of Home Theater
Review: I don't know why some reviewers say this unit "just" plays DVD's, so don't expect any "bells and whistles." It has every fast and slow motion, frame by frame, and zoom feature I could ever think of using. The picture and stereo sound quality is simply superb. With the exception of a Home Theater connoisseur who must have reference quality 5-channel audio, I can't see anyone being disappointed with this incredibly low-priced unit. I also don't understand some complaints about the remote being too small. I am a man with large hands, and find the remote comfortable, and easier to use with one hand than most cell phones. Why pay more?!
