Apex's AD-1500 DVD player plays DVD, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 formatted media. Composite- and S-video outputs provide maximal compatibility with nearly any home theater, and a coaxial digital-audio output offers Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound when connected with a compatible receiver.
Experience Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround sound from your favorite DVDs with a compatible surround receiver. A virtual surround-sound processor will create similar effects to a four-speaker sound setup through your TV's stereo speakers.

Buyer Reviews :
I'm not sure why people are having all these problems with this wonderful little machine but I sure haven't. I bought this DVD player around six months ago. I am a cinephile, so I have put this DVD to max use. I have it hooked up to my home theatre system and use it all the time to play mp3s, audio CDS, VCDs and DVDs. No problems with the DTS sound whatsoever either. It is even possible to upgrade the firmware using a cdr in order to make a few modifications, if you know what I mean. After my testing of around 150-200 commercial DVDs of various regions, both new and used, only 4 displayed occasional audio hiccups. This was due to the condition of the rented discs though. All DVDs have played near perfectly, even PAL DVDs. I did run into a few problems with some variable bitrate mp3s, but most play just fine. All VCDs which I have burned from my cd burner have worked like a charm also. Simply put, this [inexpensive] little machine has outrun my previous DVD player that I paid over three times the price for in all respects. According to the reviews I read here, there may be a few lemons out there. I certainly didn't receive one. The remote isn't really that bad either, if you know how to point it at the DVD player and don't have mutant hands. Also, the tray seems to open within two seconds on my model. I would recommend this DVD player to anyone. It has loads of features, stood up to heavy daily usage for six months without a hitch and has decent quality sound and picture. I say go for it.
