Apex AD-1200 DVD Player
Defective by Design
Let's start with the defects that may not (or may likely) exist in other units. First the eject button on the front of the unit only worked half the time. The eject button is poorly designed and hard to push. When it did work, the disc holder was very slow to open up. Secondly the DVD disks in the unit often vibrated and had to be reseated several times to stop this annoying vibrating sound. Now for the design problems. The remote has a power button which does not truely power off the unit. In a dark room the red light always illuminates from the unit, which is fine unless you sleep in the room. Pushing the power button on the unit does shut it off, however it again is a poorly designed push button. Don't waste your money on this unit, when you can buy a quality unit that actually works flawlessly for $15 more. What a waste of time this unit was, it was obvious that the costs cut in manufacturing result in a unit that is flawed even in its best working state. This is my first negative review. I've bought many electronics and have never seen such poor quality from a manufacturer.  This unit also sells at the APEX 1201, same unit different number.
