Apex AD-2500 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great value, mediocre performance
I loved this dvd player for the 1st week I had it. Then I discovered that the remote won't turn the player on. I've also tried an aftermarket remote that I use for the rest of my home entertainment system and it won't turn it on either. You have to be about 1 ft. away before it will work. But it will turn it off from across the room. Other than that, I've got no complaints. It's always worked with anything I've put into it. DVD-RW's, MP3 cd's, it all plays. And any cd with a jpg. image it will show the image. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because of the low price. If it had cost any more I would have been outraged with the remote deal but it also is region free so you can play all those japanese dvd's with no problem. This is it's only redeeming feature considering every other player will play everything except dvd-rw's. For the price it's a good deal but it is kept in the bedroom where it isn't used very often just because of the remote.
