Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Put in work and you got yourself a good player
Many people here have complained about this player not being able to play VCD's.  It seems that for this particular model after early april 2003, Apex decided not to support VCD's.  However, after August Apex again suporrted VCD's again.  I for one got stuck with one that was made during this gap and was shocked to find out when i did.  However, one can fix this problem by going to a site called \\"Nerd-out\\" (do a search on google).  Now my player plays VCD wonderfully. However, this will void warranty!<br />Another problem that many have complained is about the \\"No-Disc\\" error after running the player for about a month.  This can also be corrected folowing the instructions at the site mentioned above.  Again this procedure voids warranty!!  Seems like a laser alignment issue.<br />This player can be great if one is wiling to put in work to make it function properly.  I however would recommend the Norcent DP300 if you want something less troublesome and from my own personal experience have yet to experience any problem with.
