Apex DRX9000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
One of the worst electronics products I have encountered
I usually am more subtle in my reviews, but I want to say upfront: do *not* buy this DVD recorder. <br />The user interface is extremely unintuitive and confusing.  Even when you do figure it out, you'll still find yourself wanting to scream - and I mean scream - when the machine starts flashing the word &quot;invalid&quot; in the middle of everything you try to do. <br />Even after you learn to suffer through, you'll find that the machine frequently forgets all of your settings anyway. How can you schedule your recordings if the machine forgets the settings? You can't. We heard that due to a glitch if you want to keep your settings you cannot actually turn off the machine. So we tried that, too. It still forgot our settings anyway.<br />After returning the first unit, we tried another. We encountered the same issues which make the unit completely unusable.
