Apex DRX9000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Worthless
I purchased this item off of another website and sent it back the day after it arrived. (At least the Philips model will work for a couple of weeks.) This unit will only record programs off the air. You CANNOT record anything from your VCR, and this has nothing to do with copy protection. This unit will not allow you to convert your VHS tapes to DVD. There is even a flyer inside the box proudly touting this little defect. So in other words, I quickly found that the DRX9000 only does half of what a DVD recorder should do. If you're assuming that it must at least do that much well, you're wrong. It has an intolerable synchronization problem. For example, when you play back a disc, you see an actor's lips moving and hear what he says about 2 seconds later. Garbage.
