Apex AD-1500 DVD Player
Great, basic machine
I just purchased this player as a first time DVD user, and I am more than pleased. The picture is perfect and the sound is amazing. For those who said that the video didn't play well, I am wondering if they tried hooking it in through a VCR, as that will mess up the picture (either no picture, or a picture that fades in and out).  THIS IS EASILY REMEDIED.<br />If you have an older TV, one with only a cable input and no video input jacks, you have to buy an RF Modulator (which the directions could have more clearly explained in my opinion), for about $30 at any (local store), in order to properly split the connection. This allows me full function of my two VCRs and my cable box along with the DVD player.<br />The machine is easy to hook up, is lightweight and attractive, and works very well. The directions are a little unclear, but it is a great \\"starter\\" machine, especially for the money.
