Recommended it? No

I bought the AD-600 because it plays mp3's. Now, after two exchanges at Circuit city, I am ready to take my third Apex dvd player back. This time I will exchange it for a different brand.

I loved my Apex at first it played cd's, mp3's, dvd's like it said. However, when my friend got me my... Read full review »

Beware of weird results

byarkwolf Sep 22, 2000

Pros Secret menu, MP3 player, inexpensive
Cons Runs hot, problems with certain DVDs
Recommended it? Yes

I bought one of these players for the obvious reason; I heard about the secret menu and I wanted to have it. I found that it does indeed do what I wanted. I also thought that the fact that it plays MP3 files was interesting as well. But I have since experienced some strange results with my player... Read full review »

what the other reviews won't say...

Pros Cost, extra features, region free watching on older unites
Cons overheats, decouples voices, and has poor component output
Recommended it? No

I've put my second update up top because it's important that people see this. THIS PLAYER DIED AFTER 18 MONTHS AND THERE IS NO EXPLANATION. A faint burnt smell, and now now power. My guess is that it has a fried capacitor in the power supply since the little LED flickers lightly. I'll take it apart... Read full review »

Napster Lover's Dream
I bought the Apex AD-600A player a few months ago at Circuit City for about $179, as they advertised that it could also play burned MP3 CD's. I had recently bought a CD burner and discovered Napster a few months earlier. It would also be my first DVD player, as my TV... Read full review »

Pros plays CD-Rs & CD-RWs, plays mp3s, and has Dolby Digital/DTS output ports, and the $180...
Cons only a few stores sells it
Recommended it? Yes

Although my family owns a DVD player, I felt that I needed one for myself. I desired to watch my movies in my own room, and since I do not own a VCR, I thought I might as well join the rest of the 21st century and buy a DVD player. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of money in my pocket, so... Read full review »

Pros Good picture qualituy, mp3, special menu
Cons not the Best player out there, and its a no-name
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this product because I needed a new cd player for my room and I decided just to get a dvd player because they are getting cheaper now. I love this product because you can play mp3s from burned cds, however, all your mp3s may not work. Playing dvds in this player is phenominal especially... Read full review »

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Inexpensive; DVD, MP3, and VCD Player; Dolby ProLogic; S-Video Output
Cons No Fiber Output; MP3 Player is Not Well Thought Out;
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my APEX DVD player in June 2000. It has a sticker on the bottom that sets its manufacture date as January 2000 and it does not have the loopholes menu.

I must admit that my initial reason for looking at the AD-600A was the loopholes menu and the ability to play DVDs from around... Read full review »

$179 for a DVD player that can play MP3's? Whooda thunk?

Ok, I was intrigued by the ability to play MP3's on my stereo system. I was also surprised at the price for this unit. Granted, it's an off-brand unit likely manufactured in some taiwanese sweatshop, but for $179 I figured I couldn't... Read full review »

Pros great price, tons of cool features
Cons probably wont have the "loophole" menu
Recommended it? Yes

The Apex is a great DVD player for the cost. I got mine last week at Circuit City for about $179. There are a few misleading reviews here though. I think it's only fair to warn everyone who is considering buying the Apex on a few details..
One of the main reasons I got my Apex was to play Mp3's... Read full review »
