Summary: DVD is DOA
Review: Do not buy this DVD player, not even for $10. This model has been recalled by Apex and even Apex tech support won't be able to help you with this. It was recently given out as a freebie from another retailer if you purchase $25 worth of items. Got a brand new one and it locksup every so often. Playable for 10 seconds then locks up for 3 seconds then continues. Some DVD's won't even play. I have tried DVD+R media and they work better than the original DVD movies that you purchase or rented. Changing a DVD disc requires you to shut it off. Karaoke just won't work even after going through the menu to turn it on. Manufacturer admit it's a technical problem, but you have to send it in for repairs that may not evolve. Do a search for this model and you'll encounter problems without any answers for. This problem is intermittent and varies from person to person. Your chances of getting a defective unit is very high. Avoid if possible. You can buy a working DVD player for $30 nowadays.

You have been warned...

Summary: Excellent-Plays all in one
Review: This player from Apex has audiophile capabilities at an affordable price and I do not see any other manufacturer is giving all these fuctions at this price, playing audio DVDs and SACDs. Also, also it can boast all the popular DVD features including multiple angles and multilanguage subtitles; built-in Screen-Saver function; built-in Karaoke with 2 microphone input jacks, Echo and Pitch controls, and mic volume control. The APEX AD-7701 is firmware upgradeable and I love this.
