Apex AD2600 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Quirky?
I got one of these to serve as a second DVD player in my house. It's a compact, attractive machine and was easy to set up. Basic usage is easy, but the remote has a lot of buttons that I haven't used. So far, we've only used this player a few times to watch movies and it has worked fine. The picture is clear, bright and sharp and the sound is good. Again, though, it has only been used sparingly. The catch is that, while it plays movies just fine, it has refused to read second discs with the movie \\"extras\\" on them on the two occaisions when I tried to do that. It's not a big deal for me. I simply watched the extra features on another player. Had this been my only DVD player, though, it would have been a real problem.<br />As it is, I'm keeping the machine. It works well enough (so far) for me to be satisfied with it, and it's possible that I'm missing something. But I would expect that, since my movie discs have all played with no problem, the extras discs would, too, without any additional tweaking. I'm giving this player cautious recommendation. There are a lot of things I like about it. Be advised, however, that you may encounter problems.
