Apex AD-2500 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
I will never buy another APEX machine, ever.
I had a slightly older model.  It too was very reasonable priced, but it had a weak remote.  APEX wouldn't do anything about the weak remote, but I solved that problem with a programmable learning remote.<BR>The DVD lasted just over a year- hardly longevity.  Then I contacted APEX and it was so much to reapir, I decided just to replace it; but I'll be damned if I any buy anything from them again.
