Apex AD-5131 3-Disc DVD Player
Features but no quality
APEX players DO sport some of the best FEATURES available; but some of the most inconsistant and questionable quality.<br />The 5131 worked fine with 5\\" discs for 8 months.  The problem with the unit is that unless you hard power it off, the spindle motor runs ALL THE TIME.  The part they used doesn't hold up to that.  This is a common problem in the forums, and there is no easy way to repair or replace it.<br />The tray has slots for the 3\\" CDs; however, the tray jumps when it spins.  Sometimes 5\\" CDs will jam or fall back inside, but always with the 3\\" CDs.  I had a collector CD that was destroyed by the carousel (Scratched through the silver of the CD).<br />As is common with most APEX players, this is of questionable quality.  Some people have good luck.  We didn't with this one or with a 1110W.  Both failed in less than a year with only light to medium use, plenty of ventilation and no physical abuse.
