Apex Digital 600A DVD Player

Pros: I can't think of any
Cons: Too many to list here

I’m not a real technical person. In fact, I had to have my friend draw me a diagram of how to hook up my TV, dvd player, vcr and playstation. Having said that – this review is written from the vantage point of someone who doesn’t claim to be an...

Pros: The Hidden Menu, Plays DVDs just as well as any bigger brand player
Cons: Flashiness, some sound & picture distortions but nothing too bad

Before I start, a DVD is a "Digital Versatile Disc", which plays movies

People I know always notice something about me. I Love movies. I can't live without them. I examine movies with extreme detail and love them for the smallest...

Pros: good player for the cheap price
Cons: temperamental player..heh

For Christmas this year my boyfriend and I got an APEX AD-703. You can imagine our excitement, after all, who wouldn't love to get a DVD player if you didn't already have one? Not I!

Our Apex is a 3 disk player, so you can play 3 DVDs...

Pros: Inexpensive; plays MP3 and CD disks; component outputs
Cons: Doesn't like some popular DVDs; non-intuitive remote control

The Apex AD-600A was my entre to the wonderful world of DVD players. In addition to the Apex, I now have two computers with DVD players but the Apex was my first, and I bought it about two years ago. The Apex arrived with the main unit, a ...

Pros: Low Price, lots of features
Cons: Very simple manual, low quality display

A DVD player that plays CD, DVD, VCD, CD-R’s and also Karaoke discs! I was sold. I read about this DVD play right here on Epinions and ran out to buy one immediately. The biggest reasons I bought it was for the special hidden features I have been...

Pros: plays CD-Rs & CD-RWs, plays mp3s, and has Dolby Digital/DTS output ports, and the $180 price tag
Cons: only a few stores sells it

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...

Pros: Plays MP3 audio from ISO9660 CDs, full-function remote, intuitive onscreen controls, half the price and twice the features of other players, front panel is extremely clean and sharp looking, Loopholes Menu gives access to Macrovision and Region settings.
Cons: Only displays first 8 characters of MP3 filenames, eject button is the same shape as all other buttons on front panel.

The Apex AD-600A is the best kept secret out there right now and is a geek's dream machine! I purchased one of these units two days ago, and I've already fallen it love with it. I originally purchased it for the MP3 playback function and figured I'd...

Pros: Price and the ability to play MP3's
Cons: Price can almost be directly related to quality in this DVD player's case.

I bought this player over a year ago simply because of the hidden menu (which I was able to access) that allowed you to play DVD's no matter what region they were intended for. Little did I realize I would never run across a DVD from outside Region 1...

Pros: Mp3 playback
Cons: heat, video and audio quality, construction

I had initially bought the Apex unit over the summer after reading a good write-up in Home Theater Magazine. Like many people, I was infatuated with he idea of having a DVD player that could play Mp3 cd's and had a way to bypass the region codes found on...

Pros: Cost, extra features, region free watching on older unites
Cons: overheats, decouples voices, and has poor component output

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...

Pros: Bypass all region locks and controls, and play MP3s!
Cons: Small minor things that are nowhere near as bad as the benefits are good.

My favorite DVD Player is without a doubt the Apex AD-600A. Why? Because it lets you play DVDs that you own. Why is this such a monumental task, you ask? Well, sit down and let me tell you a little story about how you're getting screwed and you don't...

Pros: Innovative, supports DVD/MP3CD/VCD/AudioCD, CHEAP!
Cons: Horrid remote, bad MP3 menu system, no long filename support

$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...

Pros: unscrambles macrovision, plays MP3's on both CD-R and CD-RW media
Cons: its like playing russian roulette accessing the hidden menu

If you haven't heard the hype yet then you must not live on planet Earth. DVD enthusiasts have been chatting up a storm about the Apex 600A, albeit the industry watchdogs are too! You see, this unit is not your typical everyday budget DVD player, the...

Pros: Excellent DVD playback quality.
Cons: Poorly designed remote control

I was able to pick up the Apex AD-600A during a special sale at a national mass electronics marketer -- $99! The idea of a $99 DVD player seemed a bit unbelievable to me, and I usually find that the old adage of "you get what you pay for" to...

Pros: Price, picture, sound, quality
Cons: remote is a litte confusing

I just purchased this DVD player about a month ago for a Christmas presant for my parents, and we opened it up early, so we could watch the movies. I paid $149 for it, the same price we paid for our old Sharp VCR, and it's one of the best purchases you...
