Comment: The BEST dvd player for the CHEAPEST price! Rating:
All I can say is WOW.... I bought this dvd player and popped a dvd in and I was blown away by the richness of color and quality that this player has. The picture and the sound is crystal clear. The system is very quiet when it plays dvds and the controls both on the system and on the remote control are fairly easy.
This system also plays CD's and CDRW but the sound qulaity is awful. So I will only use this product for dvds and not my cds.
Overall, this is a very good dvd player that has an unbeatable price. Awesome dvd player!
And remember, if you buy this on Amazon.Com, you'll get free shipping!
Comment: An excellent DVD player for the money! Rating:
I have this dvd player, and a Sony that I paid more than 3 times as much for.
The Apex player is not as fancy as the Sony, but plays just as well. In fact the Apex plays many things that my Soney won't including VCD's!!
I've had no problems with skipping, or warbling, and play purchased, rented, and net flix dvd's with it.
The only thing that I don't like about this player is the remote. It's easy to use, and has your typical dvd player functions, but it is underpowered. You have to be pretty much dead in front of the player for it to work well. If you are off to the side more than a few feet it doesn't always pick up.
But for the money you simply can't go wrong with this player. It's well worth it.
Comment: You'll regret this purchase if anything goes wrong Rating:
I bought a similar "value" Apex DVD players from Amazon about six months ago. The thing had an annoying hum at times, but worked... at first. After two months it wouldn't play DVDs longer than maybe 90 minutes. I tried calling their service line - no one answered the phone. I went to their Website and wrote to their service e-mail address - I received no response, ever.
My guess is they figure (rightly) that no one is going to go to a lot of legal trouble over a device that costs less than $100. There are other companies that make low-end DVD players and other equipment - patronize one of them instead of Apex.
