Summary: Great Player--It's amazing--
Review: This player rock. I own Lasonic and Apex600A DVD players they both still working but I need a new toy that can play just about format out there. To my surprise Apex AD-2500 really impress me. It plays almost anything you put in, (except divx). No freeze, no disc noise, well contructed - well made, great video quality output, progressivescan is big plus although I don't have HDTV yet, it plays mpeg, wma, vcd, svcd, mp3,and other cool stuff such as full karaoke functions for those who love to sing and view photo with Jpeg and Kodak picture cd. I tested all of them out and believe me this thing work. In a word....WOOOOW!!!!!

Summary: Plays great but only 3 out of 5 actually worked...
Review: It works great for playing vcd, svcd, dvdr etc. However out of 5 that I ordered 2 either didnt power on or did not play vcd/svcd etc...after dealing with the return process and having to wait I finally have 3 that actually work...and they work great so far. I recommend it for saving some $ but be sure to totally test it when you get it.

Summary: Great DVD player!
Review: This DVD player is probably the best value one I've seen so far. It has more features than you can imagine. Some most useful features for me are:

1) it plays all regions DVDs. DVDs and VCDs from Asia didn't play in my Panasonic player but no trouble here. Not all Apex DVD players are region free. ...

2) For U.S. DVDs, you can switch from wide-screen picture to full-screen picture at a press of a remote button.

3)Two microphones can be connected for karaoke.

4) Kodak picture CD works on this player too. (I haven't tried it yet)

Summary: It even plays CD+Gs!
Review: 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?

Summary: Progressive Scan Failed
Review: This DVD player has the ablility to play pretty much every format you can imagine but the main feature for this DVD I think is the Progressive Scan capability. The bad news is, it doesn't work well at all with my Sony HDTV. The screen keeps flickers everytime when I switch from Interlace to Progressive mode. So if all you want is to have the ability watch VCD, SVCD, DVD...etc., might as well get a cheaper Apex instead.

Summary: Apex AD-2500 DVD is the Better of two evils..
Review: I bought the Apex AD2500 because of its laundry list of features/compatibilities. Those of the brand names with similar features were priced twice or more. I have had it for about 1 month now, and I am yet to see/experience those problems reported by others. I recommend it to anyone that want the best/most for the buck.

The decision to buy the AD-2500 versus any other on the same price range was not a simple one because I already has Sharp-701 which plays every other VCDs & no CD-R support. Also, after reading several negative reviews on Apex and other DVDs from various sites. Then I was reminded that the world of consumer electronics has no absolute best equipment out there. Despite all the marketing hype being thrown at consumers by media giants like sony, jvc, and the rest. The fact is, every electronic equipment has its short-coming --- yes including the brand names. They are all subject to malfunction at some point with or without proper care. A perfect reminder is my $450 JVC VCR with such silly features like Jog-shuttle remote, (which a sane person may never-ever use) which gave up one month after my $36 extended warranty expired. Talking of Apex breakdowns, several factors other than manufacturer defect can be responsible, such as storage/delivery mishandling, or the ultimate one---USER-ERRORs. I know a guy that will NEVER border to read the manufacturer's notes/instructions first, instead prefers fiddling with the equipment until he run into problem (often serious damage) before thinking of flipping thru the documentions. At the end such user will blame it on the product. The documentations are included for a reason, use it first before applying your technical skills. Functionally, all DVDs may be the same but setup/operations varies.

Summary: Every Feature Imaginable, Awsome Media Compatabilty.
Review: This will play any thing... DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+Rs, DVD+RWs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs.

MP3, WMA, Kodak, Jpeg, VCD, SVCD compatible.

Progressive Scan, and more...

Best DVD Player you can buy for the money although you can buy it at [local store for $.]

Summary: Awesome
Review: The Progressive Scan picture is Awesome! It does my HDTV flat screen TV justice!
The AFF feature turns any wide screen DVD picture into full screen eliminating the cut off top and bottom portion of the picture.

But most of all! Finally a Progressive Scan DVD player that actually plays MP3s randomly (shuffle). When you can lay down about 140 MP3 songs on one CD why should they only let you play them one order. This great player will actually let you play MP3s randomly! I have waited a long time for this fabulous DVD/MP3 player!

I am a very picky gadget man and have bought and returned several DVD players after I have found out they fell short in on area or another. (This occurred many times since most sales people did not know what an MP3 file was never mind whether the DVD player would be able to play them in random order if desired.)

This DVD player has exceeded my every expectation!

Excellent Progressive Scan Picture. Plays MP3s the way they should be - Randomly!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Apex has outdone itself with this one!
Review: Great DVD. Progressive Scan is a must. Yes, a must, especially if u plan to get a digital TV (which u will believe me, the world is moving to those).

Apex rules DVD!
