Apex AD-800 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
A good progressive-scan dvd for the money.
Based on a positive review by the Dec. 2001 issue of &quot;Consumer Reports&quot; magazine, I purchased the Apex AD-800 from Circuit City, as it was the only recommenned progressive-scan DVD player that I could afford.  I do not have a HDTV, however, I plan to buy one in the near future.  DVD disc sound and picture, when hooked up to a typical television set, are excellent. I put a music CD disc in, and it also sounded great. It is a very good value for the money.  The only problem I have had with it occured when I tried to play a DVD disc that I rented from a supermarket.  It was just too scratched up for it to be played.  According to &quot;Consumer Reports&quot;, some DVD players can play damaged DVDs and damaged CDs.  I suppose that also depends on how badly they are damaged. I would reommend the Apex AD-800 for those people who want a very good progressive-scan DVD player, and who don't have a lot of money to spend on it.
