Apex AD-600A DVD Player
Risky unknown brand - Caveat Emptor
If you think these DVD players offer too much for the price they're asking - you're right.  I got the 3 disc version of this player for christmas.  It did play CD-R's CD-RW's and mp3 CD's (which is the reason I looked at this unknown brand in the first place).  It did not play DVDs well at all.  It would skip frequently even on brand new DVDs that I just opened.  When I took it back to the store where I purchased it there were already 3 apex DVD players behind the return counter that had been returned that day.  When I returned mine I asked the clerk and she said they'd been getting tons of Apex players back since they started selling them (all models).  After I went and bought a sony DVD player (see reviews on the sony DVP-S360) I saw 3 more people standing in the returns line taking back Apex DVD players on my way out of the store!  <br />Apex is an unknown brand offering DVD players for 50 bucks less than everyone else.  They don't have the quality control or the engineering experience of a company like sony, toshiba, panasonic, or jvc.  While it's tempting to have a very low price DVD player with mp3 capability it's not worth blowing 150 bucks or more on an unknown brand with severe reliability issues.  Buying one of these is risky.  Ask the returns department of any store that sells this brand and they'll tell you to stay away.
