Apex AD-1500 DVD Player
keep your ad-1500 running longer.
Here's a helpful little tip to keeping your Apex AD-1500 running longer: Instead of using the console mounted power button for turning it off and on, just leave it in stand-by mode and use the power button on the remote to turn it off and on. This will keep the internal's of your AD-1500 from having to heat up and cool down every time you turn it on or off.  I've had my Apex for almost a year without a single problem , and if you're wondering if I ever use it, the answer is yes , I use it almost every day for dvd's, vcd's and music cd's.It could be the good unit bad unit theory , but hey, it's a great player at a great price, let's just see if we can get them to last a little longer.
