Apex AD-1500 DVD Player
BEST VALUE/HIDDEN VALUE
...Just got my AD-1500 from Amazon; it is very versatile.  Plays my home burned SVCDs and MP3s well(make sure the MP3s are not VBR).  Also, if the serial nr of your AD-1500 begins with A, B, C, or D, you can flash the unit with a free program (check the net), and remove the Region and Macrovision stuff from the unit.  This means it will then play any Region DVDs AND record DVD on VHS tape for personal use...
