Apex AD-1201 DVD Player
Worst electronic item I have ever used in 20+ years
I hated to give this one star. That is much too high a rating for this abysmal piece of garbage. I have been a collector and user of a whole array of electronic items for over 20 years. I kid you not when I say that out of any electronic item I ever owned in 20+ years (I am 36 years old) this is below and beyond the worst piece of junk ever. I knew something was wrong when I carried the unit into my room and the door opened and ejected just from a little bit of gravity, from being tilted downward a little bit. Not a good sign. Then I had all the little pixel problems and buzzing motor noises...plus any given disc would only boot up about 2/3 of the time. The rest of the time it would claim no disc loaded, which was funny since there the disc was right there, in the tray. Within a week regular CDs would not play at all, and within a month, DVDs would only play about 10% of the time (i.e. after 5-20 tries &quot;booting&quot; them). Well finally after about 2 months the unit stopped functioning altogether, it won't read any disc even after dozens of tries. As far as I am concerned this company should never be trusted, even on the higher end products. I will never buy anything from APEX again as long as I live, and have spread the word to all my friends.
