Apex DRX9000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Power supply issues.
Let me first start off by saying that I like my other Apex DVD players.  They are cheap, and do a good job playing DVDs.  However, I have 2 of these and both of them have died due to the powersupply.  I got the first one and it did fine until IC2 on the power supply blew about 1 and 1/2 years after I bought it.  So I got another one thinking it was just a one time issue.  That one lasted about 3 months and then went dark. I would not suggest this product to anyone.  It is worth about 3-6 months of DVD viewing/recording and then poof...  dead. I'm currently in the process of contacting Apex to see if they will provide me some wiring diagrams so I know what voltages go where.  Then I'll connect some small PC power supplies to my 2 units and they should then be fine.
