Apex DRX9000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Second time was better
The first machine Shipped to me had the same problem listed in other reviews, that it did not hold setup inputs when the machine was put on standby mode.  I sent it back and requested a replacement.  The second unit worked perfectly. I reset the record input mode, put it on standby, Turned it back on and it was still set the way I set it.  It seems Apex has some units out there with this problem.  The record and playbacks were perfectly clear and crisp. The Audio was excellant also.  I would recommend this unit for the price, However I would keep returning it until you get one that works properly.  Also by reading these reviews I was able to download the upgrade patch and install it.  I THINK APEX NEEDS A BETTER QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT BEFORE SENDING UNITS OUT TO RETAIL
