Apex AD2600 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
A very embarassing gift
I purchased the apex 2600 after reading good reviews of it, both here and in other places. After less than 24 hours it turned out to be a huge disappointment, for myself and for my parents, for whom it was a gift.<BR>It played only one out of three DVD's without problems, the other two being afflicted by a number of glitches. Both of the problem DVD's would repeatedly freeze during playback, while the counter on the player kept going. One also exhibited extremely slow speed when going to the menu. <BR>These problems were consistent, and also not present on another dvd player.<BR>The DVD door would scratch the top of the disc every time it closed.<BR>There were a few attractive features, such as the small size and the layout of the remote.<BR>all in all, trying to save some money on this player resulted in me shelling a great deal more when i purchased a much nicer DVD VCR combo player to make up for blazing crappiness of this very embarassing gift.
