Editorial Reviews :
If it asks to do the dishes, don't be surprised. The affordable AD-2500 from Apex has high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs, built-in MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio), HDCD decoding, and a dual-laser pickup for compatibility with not only DVD, VCD, SVCD and CD, but also CD-R and CD-RW. What's more, it plays JPEG-encoded picture discs and does double duty as a karaoke machine.
Whether you already have an HDTV or you're merely thinking of 'someday,' the AD-2500 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any TV set. The back panel offers one output each for composite-video, S-video, and component-video.
For sound, two sets of left-right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's optical digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver. A 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimal decoding of all disc formats, including HDCD (high-definition compatible digital), a 20-bit encoding method used on many commercial CDs to deliver better sound than is possible through standard CDs. Playback options include AFF (Apex Full-Screen Function), zoom (2x, 4x), frame advance, slow-motion forward and reverse, fast-motion forward, and programmable playback sequencing. Supplied accessories include a composite-video AV cable, an instruction manual, and an infrared remote control.
Buyer Reviews :
This DVD player is the best one I ever had. It's like the ultimate multimedia machine. It even played the VCDs that my Panasonic DVD player (which only played DVDs and VCDs) couldn't play and much much more. I am a fan of karaoke, and to my surprise, this Apex player evens plays CD+Gs! There even a couple of jacks in the front to plug in microphones.
I also think that its ability to play Photo CDs is remarkable. I have a few Kodak picture CDs, and before I could only play them on my computer, but not anymore!
I have learned that Apex is a good brand, and the only brand I know that plays photo CDs. What will they think of next?
