Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Be careful!  You get what you pay for...
We purchased the Apex 1600 at Christmas as an additional dvd player in our home, after being very satisfied with the Apex 1500 (its prior generation and it's still working).  Right after expiration of the 90 day warranty, however, the 1600 no longer plays movies.  In fact, it can't recognize whether or not a dvd is in the player anymore.  We did have warning signs from the start--a loud, mechanical whirring noise that was at times louder than the movie itself.  If yours is making this noise and is still under warranty, contact the company and get it repaired.  Otherwise, you will need to send it back to Apex and they will charge you $39 for repairs.  We, instead, have decided to spend more and purchase a better DVD player.
