Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Great for newbies, decent for others.
Bought this player because I needed one, and it was on sale. Works and sounds great. Plays flawlessly (so far), without any of the problems other people have reported. There are some drawbacks to this player, though. One is the general feel of the machine. It feels light, cheap, and fragile. Also, more information could have been put into the manual. The functions can be figured out, but a more descriptive manual would be nice. I don't particularly like the fact that if I lose the remote, I won't be able to access many of the functions of the player, either. Some have said that the remote is too small, but I disagree. I have rather large hands, and while the buttons COULD be larger, it's not a problem. On the plus side of things, the player is easy to hook up, setup is simple, and that is much appreciated. Overall, this player is a great value for the cost, and is the perfect gift for the DVD newbie. Advanced users, or those with higher end equipment should probably look elsewhere, though, as I feel they may feel limited by this player.
