Apex AD-1500 DVD Player
Bad Out-of-Box Experience ...
I received the AD-1500 today.  Set it up.  Pressed Open/Close.  The display indicated my choice, but the tray refused to open.  Some mechanism within whined for a minute or two, until the player gave up.<br />So now I get to return it.<br />Granted, glitches happen.  No manufacturer is perfect, and this may be an isolated incident.  But it doesn't particularly inspire consumer confidence, either.<br />Just to be clear: my 1-star rating doesn't indicate anything about the actual picture or audio performance of the Apex player ... I never got that far.
