Apex DRX9000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
DRX9000: What a waste of time and money
I pre-ordered the DRX9000 and waited almost 3 months for delivery. Setup of the machine was easy. Thats where the fun stopped.<BR>I used a secondary AV source for the input. And again connection instructions were well-detailed and easy to follow.<BR>I purchased the DRX9000 originally because of the some 11 formats it would be able to read and play. I could only get the machine to play audio CDs. It was totally incapable of playing any DVD of any format. One of three things happened: 1. the machine froze and locked; 2. the TV monitor was cleared of picture; or 3.the machine displayed the word 'Hello' in the display and froze. In all three cases the only solution was to unplug the machine. The freezing occurred continually. The machine would freeze within 5 minutes of starting any DVD. If you attempted to select a title or use FastForward it would immediately freeze when Play was selected.<BR>The remote did little. Its basic functions did not perform and it kept displaying 'invalid' on the tv monitor.<BR>I never attempted to copy or use the write/rewrite features. I boxed it up within 24 hours and shipped it back. <br />Save yourself time and money and try a different manufacturer.
