Apex DRX9000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Can you give negative stars???.....Zero stars for this item
....If Apex took out the word recorder out of the title, then the unit would be fine and dandy...However, I should have known that the price and features were too good to be true....I shouldn't have stepped down to a lower brand name....<BR>The manual sounds like it was written by someone who was learning English at the time....and the controls aren't matched with the manual's instructions....<BR>I don't know what it means to upgrade or whatever to a DVD recorder....it isn't a computer so where is the software going to go?...The feature list sounds impressive...and that is about the only thing that is impressive...<BR>The manual goes on and on about how to play and switch from one title to another and move between chapters, assuming that someone who has actually purchased the unit for the purpose of creating DVD's has no idea how to play a DVD in a player.<BR>It records for about 3 seconds and then goes into pause mode because of some copy protection, and this when I'm trying to record a tape from a camcorder.....<BR>I think Apex should include a gift certificate for a tank of gas for all the trips back and forth to the store to return these products.....one of which is going back tomorrow....Apex makes items that are technologically advanced if you're comparing them to the rotting carcass of a billy goat....!
