Apex AD-5131 3-Disc DVD Player
Exceptionally reliable unit with a few minor exceptions!
I have had this unit for about 2 years and paid a very small price for it (&lt;$... New). It had all the features that I wanted in a DVD player, multi-format and karaoke (consider myself a good singer). It has proven it's worth over and over with howevers:<br />1. Remote control, though stylish, is quite user unfriendly and you need a magnifying glass to read functions on the remote.<br />2. You need to reset to karaoke function each time you wish to use that function, again via remote, which is cumbersome.<br />3. Unit smells, I know this sounds funny, but it has always had an odor emitted from it which smells like electronics frying, however, unit operates flawlessly. I have always expected this unit to start smoldering and ignite, but thankfully, it has not.<br />4. To upgrade firmware, you need to know which pirate to buy from, support from Apex in this respect is nil...<br />Great unit, all in all, and functions as expected and it's longivity has been quite welcomed. Do not expect a whole lot of satisfaction from the remote!
