Apex AD-1201 DVD Player
2 Year Life Span Max.
This is a pretty good DVD player if you don't mind buying a new one every 2 years or so. I got mine in December of 2002 and it worked great. The roomie plays lots of cd's on it as well as DVD's. However, at just under the 2 year mark it has started to die. It freezes in the middle of a scene, then jumps forward about 2min or more from that scene. It decides it likes one frame in the movie you watch, so never progresses the picture past that frame, yet the audio continues and you can listen to the whole DVD while watching that one frame sit on the screen. It also likes to fragment the picture so it looks like tiny pieces of stained glass instead of a movie. And sometimes, it will do all 3 at once.<br /><br />So, if you're one of those people who MUST get a new DVD player every 2 years, this one was good while it lasted. For everyone else, I'd recommend finding something that will last longer. I know I'm going to...
