Apex AD-600A DVD Player
Pretty Good DVD Player
I bought this DVD Player almost a year ago, and I bought an open box one, so it was only (price).  So, for the (price) I paid, it's a great DVD player with some great features.  It has a x2 and x4 zoom [which is great for scenes like the guy hanging himself in \\"The Wizard of Oz\\"], it also has the option of changing your screen aspect ratio so even though you have a regular size TV screen, you can watch most 'widescreen' DVDs with or without the black bars on the top and bottom.  It also has the features noted above and with all the features DVD Players in general have, it's a great deal.  For only a couple bucks more than a VCR, you have the convenience of movies which will last forever, instant advance to the scene you were at, extra features, all sorts of cool advantages that DVDs have over VHS movies that you can have for so cheap.<br />HERE IS THE BAD NEWS.  This DVD Player is NOT user friendly.  If the DVD you are playing HAS closed-captioning subtitles, THEY WILL BE ON THE SCREEN.  Lots of other DVD Players default with the subtitles off the screen, this one defaults with them ON the screen.  Also, if you want to remove them, [unlike other DVD Players where it can be removed with a push of a button,] you have to go to the movie's menu, find the audio set-up and click them off.  Also, if you want to do any cool things DVDs can do, like: zoom in, change camera angles, change the time [so it displays how long the movie has left, how long it's been on, etc], whatever, a bar appears on the top of the screen that shows which function you are doing; so after you are done, you have to go and push ANOTHER button just to make the 'helpful bar' go away.  Also, the both the buttons on the Player itself, and the remote, are all the same size, and just it neat little rows, so you have to be in a well-light room to see the buttons, or [like I ended up doing] memorize where the buttons are.<br />Basically, if you are willing to fiddle with multiple buttons to get it to do something in order to save yourself 30 or 40 bucks, this is the DVD Player for you.  Personally, it's almost as though VHS tapes have started to be a little tempting because I have to do so much for the DVD Player just to play the DVD.  I'm going to get another, move convenient one for my home theater, and use this one in my bedroom.  If you have the extra $$, you should go for the more expensive, but more convenient Player, so you can experience the fun of DVDs without \\"getting all funned out\\".
