Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Does everything but vacuum.
This unit really would have gotten 4.5 stars were that an option, based on what feels like a flimsy build quality and for its limited documentation. However, it hasn't malfunctioned and it's so simple to use that it seemed unfair to dock it for not stating what is obvious. As a single, space-saving unit in the kids' entertainment room, it saves space while providing for all their disc-based needs through adequate audio and video connection options. It plays conventional DVDs without distortion, and music (both pre-recorded & PC-generated MP3 discs) fed into their stereo sounds great. I haven't tried making video discs yet, but a Kodak Picture Disk looked great when played back on the Apex. Of course, the price is more than attractive, so 5 stars seems to be in order. I would add that this unit would make a great gift for any college student!
