Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Great Player, but Apex dropped VCD support !
I got this player in Nov 2002 mostly to test and play VCD and SVCDs. I was pleasantly surprise that it was nicely build, and easy to use. It played SVCDs, mp3, jpegs (!), DVDs, but when <BR>I tried to play a VCD, 'NO DISC'. After some research on the internet, I found out that Apex has dropped VCD as a supported format due to licensing issues. The only chance to get an Apex VCD capable player is to get an &quot;old stock&quot; version.<BR>So, I had to return it. What is Apex thinking?<BR>I'd buy 2 if it did VCDs, but now I went and bought a phillips<BR>580HT (vertical DVD at Target), which does it all. (for 2 times the price:( )<br />For what it does do, 5 stars, for dropping VCD support, <BR>a no-buy and knock it down a few stars.
