Apex DRX-9200 DVD Recorder/Player
It really works..
I was skeptical about the first/second generation of these but my Apex seems to work fine. The only problems I could find were that under the 2 Hr resolution, the picture was extremely pixelated. However, what do you expect? A regular dual layer DVD rarely holds anything over 3 hrs, so why would you expect that a single layer one could hold that WITH GREAT QUALITY at 5 hrs?  <br /> <br />As with all Apex players, this plays everything you throw at it. <br /> <br />The one lower budget aspect of this player seems to be that the recorder and player seem to be two completely different devices. When you switch from one to the other, it seems to take a while and 'boot' up that function as if it hadn't already been turned on for a while. Other than that, does what it says. <br /> <br />The other quirk is that it has a really loud fan going while it's on, but I believe this is quite common among all of these.
