Apex AD2600 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
The Apex AD2600 Will Play DVD-R
Well, I ordered this puppy around the time of the Crimean War, but it was worth the wait. Yeah, it plays (and well) everything the literature says it will play ... and more.<br />Check this out: The AD2600 will play DVD-Rs of mp3s, .mpgs, and jpegs. I'm talking DVD-R *data* discs filled with mp3s, music videos, cartoons, etc. The AD2600 won't play .avi or .ape, but we can't have everything ... yet. Nowhere in the manual does it say anything about playing data disc DVD-Rs, not as far as I can tell. <br />So, I am one very happy customer. I bought an optical cable and run the audio into my Logitech Z-680s and even mp3s sound pretty good - and I hate MP3s.<br />Just to note: the catalog of any data disc I'm throwing in here will show up on screen, even if the AD2600 can't play the format of the files. So far its read every disc real fast, unlike the DVD-ROM in my computer, which goes into an annoyingly long spin cycle on many DVD movies I've backed-up on DVD-R.<br />I'm giving this 5/5. Let's just see if the unit has staying power.<br />radioman
