Apex AD-600A DVD Player
Riddled with problems
My dad was given 2 Apex DVD players for christmas, a single-disc and a 3-disc.  He had specifically requested Apex because it can read MP3s.<br />First, we attempted to set up the 3-disc player.  I popped a CD in full of MP3s, and it played them fine, although not with the easiest directory navigation.  When we went to play a DVD, it wouldn't work, and after quite a while of tinkering we finally declared it busted.<br />On to the single-disc unit, we tried it out for DVDs right away, and it worked great.  Ironically enough, it wouldn't play MP3s.  It seemed as though it read the MP3 files at an accelerated rate, but nothing would actually play the songs.<br />Considering the fact that both of the units we received were defective, I wouldn't count on these players lasting long if you manage to get one that works.<br />It's a great idea to integrate these technologies, but the quality just isn't there.
