Apex AD-500B: Good, full-featured, yet inexpensive DVD player!

by mkp51 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 15 '01
Pros: Reliable; inexpensive; a good array of features
Cons: Poor documentation; clunky and confusing remote.
Anyone who’s familiar with my Epinions reviews knows I’m pretty much of a movie "junkie." Unfortunately, because of my work schedule, and the fact that I live 32 miles from the nearest movie theater complex, I have to rely on movies on videocassette in...

You Get What You Pay For.

by badbonz0007 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 07 '01
Pros: Inexpensive and lightweight
Cons: cheaply made and prone to problems when you first get it home.
My Daughter bought this particular model for me for Fathers Day from Wal-Mart. She was so proud that she bought me something that I didn't have. I also was proud of her that she thought of me enough to put it on lay a way and pay it off. All for less...

Great Value

by seowfun , Jun 07 '01
Pros: Inexpensive, Feature Rich, Hackable, Good Pictures
Cons: Bass of Audio seems lacking, no optical out, no component video out
I purchased the AD-500W from local Walmart for $92. What a deal! It is the latest generation DVD player, supporting DVD, CD, VCD, CDR, CDRW and MP3. For $92? Wow!

Apex made its name with AD-600, which has hidden menu to make the DVD player...

The low cost, high value Apex 500W!

by ConnCarl , Dec 03 '01
Pros: Feature-rich, upgradable, DVD with MP3, VCD, SVCD, DolbyDigital and DTS support.
Cons: Poor manufacturing quality control.
This little charmer is the first cousin of the original Apex AD-600A, the low-buck DVD player with it's legendary "YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE" secret menu, that set the industry on its ear a couple of years ago.

I saw this product onsale in my Walmart circular and went .. hmmm... I have considered buying a DVD player... but i thought it was too much money to spend on something i'd probably never use often. As a college student who has peers who own DVD players...

Cons: No optical output.
Apex AD500A Review
I had set up my home theater for a DVD player, and even bought a nice Dolby Digital receiver. I planned to go out and buy a more expensive player, like a Sony. Then, the day after Thanksgiving sale ads came out. At...

Apex's 500W delivers DVD essentials at a very reasonable price

by JGillespie , Jan 01 '02
Pros: Good picture quality, excellent feature content for the buck, great build quality
Cons: remote control button layout reminiscent of a 50's Chinese calculator
When you buy as many "bottom rung, low price" products as I have, despite warnings to the contrary, you find yourself waiting to get burned, sure in the inevitability that one day your "saved money" will come back to haunt you.

If you want a good DVD player, keep searching

by voices220 , Feb 11 '02
Pros: Low price, plays MP3 formatted disks.
Cons: Skips way too much.
I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet. This was my first (and currently only) DVD player. My wife and I bought it for three reasons 1) We wanted a DVD player 2) We didn't have a lot of money 3) I wanted a DVD player that would play MP3...

The most inexpensive DVD player with GREAT features!

by fireballdw , Aug 01 '01
Pros: Inexpensive, great features, plays MP3 CDs
Cons: Clunky MP3 interface
I am a huge fan of the DVD technology, and currently own around 40 DVDs. I have a DVD ROM on my computer, which for the past two years was really the only way I could watch DVD. Since I am often using my computer for other things, I wanted to purchase...

Apex AD-500W is an affordable and fun toy!

by nxs4ever , Aug 26 '01
Pros: Excellent value, easy to use and install and plays scratchy CDs!
Cons: As with many DVD players, this one overheats after hours of continuous viewing.
Don't try to deny it, you either have or want a DVD player because you know it's fun on the cheap. Where else can you have some fun by going to Blockbusters or your nearest video rental store, rent a DVD for $4 and play around with it all night?

Is it really worth the price?

by nickd39 , Dec 26 '01
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Glitches in audio and video particularly during scene changes
Perhaps I am getting tired of the continuous format changes in the entertainment field, in audio, the cylinder, 78 rpm, 33 rpm, my gosh it took RCA 17 years to get their 45 rpm record approved as back then, any changes in formats were frowned upon, then...

Apex? Eh.

by greenspj , Jan 14 '02
Pros: Multi-system decoding, inexpensive, nice looking
Cons: Instructions (lol), hard to access features on remote
Background
The reason I bought this was to get an inexpensive DVD system to last me until DVD/R is widely and inexpensively available.

Findings
My particular unit had some serious problems:
-It often paused or...

Better then we thought!

by ronikaye , Jan 27 '02
Pros: A nice DVD player that you can afford!
Cons: The remote- you need a degree in engineering to work this thing
As a Christmas present to ourselves, my husband and I decided to purchase a DVD player. We looked at all of the usual name-brands, but they were all pretty pricey. Some of these DVD players looked exactly alike, yet one would be 300 dollars, and the...

Apex 500 Great DVD player

by sc00b3rt , Aug 29 '02
Pros: Cheap, plays everything ive put in it.
Cons: None
Purchased this when DVD players where still over 200.00. So at the time it was inexpensive. I have played just about every type of media in this. Ive converted movies into VCD, and SVCD format and it plays them without a hitch. Even my brothers...

A DVD player that is a good value found at Wal-Mart

by mguy77 , Mar 18 '02
Pros: A good basic CD/DVD/MP3 player for not a lot of money it performs
Cons: It did take a while to hook up to the TV
Ok, so I wondered how I was going to afford a DVD player for under a hundred dollars. The answer was Apex AD-500W DVD/MP3 Player that I purchased at Wal-Mart as a birthday gift for myself last year. Anyway, after hooking it up to my TV, I was ready to...
