Editorial Reviews :
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.
Playback options include a built-in screen saver, two-step zoom, chapter/track programmable memory, frame-by-frame advance, support for multiple captions and angles, slow- and fast-motion forward, and parental locking.
The AD-1500 is compatible with NTSC and PAL televisions and discs (as long as the discs are Region 1), and it includes a remote control for convenient operation from the comfort of your couch.
Apex's warranty for the AD-1500 covers labor for 90 days and parts for one year.
Buyer Reviews :
We were among the many thousands standing in front of K-Mart on Thanksgiving morning because we wanted a couple of these DVD players. If you look at the reviews at Circuitcity.com, this is one of best DVD players for the money. Where else are you going to get the combination of performance, versatility and bang for the buck? For those new to DVDs, this player is simple to operate and although the remote control is a little odd, it's easy to use. The thing plays everything including CDs, MP3s, VCDs, etc., but you have to know how to burn these correctly from your computer in order for them to work properly in a player. I suspect that many of the people who have had problems with their machines either got a bad machine (early samples were not rated well; make sure it's the Apex 1500 and not one of the other models) or they don't have the proper format or didn't hook up the machines properly. You cannot hook up any DVD player to both your television and a VCR. If you do, you will get wavy lines or a poor picture or a picture that fades to black and back. You'll then need to install a 'video stabilizer' (available on-line for about $30) in order to prevent the built-in software (Macrovision) from messing up the picture. For the money, this is the best little DVD player out there, bar none. You can spend more for a brand name, but you won't get the performance. As for those readers who seem to have problems playing rented DVDs, I don't know what the problem is, because we've played rented DVDs and DVDs borrowed from the library, with absolutely no problems. Get one, you won't be sorry, unless you get one that doesn't work out of the box. We've had ours operating without a hitch since Thanksgiving Day and we love it. Highly recommended.
