Apex PD-10 Portable DVD Player with 5.6-Inch LCD Screen
Impressive for the Price
We purchased the Apex PD-10 for home and travel use after shopping around.  This was the lowest priced player I was able to find and I bought it with the notion of returning it if it didn't perform.  I am a radio/tv producer and am quite selective when purchasing a/v products.  After a week I am quite impressed.  Picture quality is above average, it sounds great hooked up to external speakers, and it has all the features you need and many you'll never use.  The internal speakers?  Absolutely horrible, as are those on most portable DVD players. The remote is handy, but doesn't work unless you are no more than 5 feet away and pointing it directly at the unit...a drawback for home use. Also, to scroll through DVD options on menus you must use the remote, since there are is no menu button and no track access available on the unit itself--just play, stop and scroll.  The battery pack is quite heavy and cumbersome, but still a good option for portability. The on/off switch seems a little flimsy and could break under heavy use.  I compensate by using the remote to turn the unit on and off to avoid wear and tear. Overall, this is a great little player and we are enjoying it so far.
