Apex AD-1600 DVD Player
Why Apex won't play you VCD's!
I have a lower level model than this one but it works just fine for the price you can't beat it. I have read a couple of the reviews for this item and see that some of you haven't been able to get your import VCD's to work. There is a reason for that other than \\"Apex sucks\\" which of course is not true. There could be a possibility that the VCD's you are trying to view are in a foreign TV format, which is called PAL. American TV sets use the NTSC standard and will not display the PAL format thus you would have to convert your PAL VCD's to NTSC.
