Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
A Good DVD Player when it's working
Actually i was deceived with this Player , i asked a friend of mine who lives in the Gulf region to buy me a Decent and good priced DVD player due to the fact of the high prices of the DVD players in my country ( that was from about an year and half , they are suitable priced now ) and he got me this DVD player .<br />It worked very fine at first with a very Clear picture and good sound , and played all the Audio,Pictures and Audio CDs , and then things started to get a dark turn , some movies was played in very poor performance but others played fine , and then the main problem came when it started indicating the iritating message (No Disk) upon inserting any DVD , i kept trying with it and sometimes it displayed the above message and other times didn't and then for more darker turn it started making strange  noises when loading the DVDs with rattling noises , i started searching for some place to fix it and here comes the great surprise....APEX doesn't have a customer service or Authrized Agent not only in The middle east but also in Europe!! and i have read on several web sites that they have very costly Maintainance operations ,and i was stuck with it .<br />It seems that APEX's desire to produce a player which plays all those formats with a very low price resulted in such poor performance and manufacturing for the DVD unit , needles to say i had to open the case to fix it myself and to clean the DVD lens and i was struck by the Cheap looking parts that structured into it , now it works fine for a while and then starts to disfunction again and i do the repair myself ( i have learnt how to do it myself and fix the NO DISK problem but i can't post it here ) .<br />So this APEX DVD Player is Good while it's working , but if it starts to have problems and you are out of the Gurantee Period or you are living outside the US you have to fix it yourself ot go and buy some decent player like Sony,LG or Toshiba , and don't ever be deceived by the cheap prices when buying HI TECH devices .HI TECH devices .
