Apex AD-2500 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Dead after 11 months
I bought my Apex because of it's high compatibilies and functions; it has that, but ...   The player is of low quality build.  The remote stopped working after about a month; the player has problem properly decoding after powering off after a few months.  Then it has problem playing periold.  And finally, the disk loading tray won't even open after less than 11 months.  It's not worth the trouble with Apex DVD player; there are plenty of other brands that can play vcd and other formats.  <BR>On previous review, I gave it a 2 stars, but now that it has died, it deserves the 1 star that it is truly worth.  Had I written a review a 2, 3 weeks after I bought the item, I would probably gave it 5 stars becuase of its attractive price and many features, but 2 weeks is not enough time to see the quality and reliability of a product.  Stay away from Apex DVD player.
