Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Pass this one by
I bought my unit, seduced by the very low price, and despite online warnings of spotty quality control at Apex.  Well, now I'm sorry.  This unit has trouble digesting DVDs from many different sources; local video rentals, brick&mortar store purchases, online merchant purchases.  It doesn't seem to matter the source, this player will often (very often) not be able to play the disc -- or even *find* the disk.<br />I thought, before I bought it, \\"What am I risking?\\"  Well, the purchase price as it turns out, minimal as that was.  Also, the frustration of getting home with a rental and getting stuck, unable to watch it.<br />Save your money.  Buy a brand name.  The Panasonic player that came with a theater-in-a-box I bought last year has been flawless.
