Apex Digital AD-1200 DVD Player

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Very slow to respond to the remote.

In this update of 07/27/06 I regret to inform you that I have disconnected this DVD player and dumped it. It's dead!! The unit no longer responds to the remote. I did try other remotes. No luck. Ding Dong the DVDs dead. I just purchased another ...

Pros: A dvd player in full, plays all kinds of formats including VCD.
Cons: No display screen, can't see what's playing. Not a good looking one.

There comes a time when a man gets tired of plugging his laptop into the TV every time that he has t ...

Pros: Great quality when functioning properly, and price was a plus.
Cons: Not the best-looking DVD player.

I purchased this DVD player in July of 2003 from Future Shop, mainly because the price was only about $60 CDN. I used it without any problems at least 10 times within 2 weeks of buying it, and not again until this recent Christmas. While watching the ...

Pros: Easy to use (helpful for non-techies like me)
Cons: None that I've found

First of all, let me explain that I am no techie, so my review on this DVD player is totally a "what you see is what you get"one. For all the techie stuff you'll need to read the blurb from the makers.

Pros: Cheap and Easy to Use
Cons: Remote is difficult to understand

The Apex 1200/1201 (which we were told were the same) is a pretty darn good DVD player. We paid $59.95 for it at Circuit City. Based on other reviews, we asked the clerk to take the unit out of the box and hook it up to make sure that it worked - right...

Pros: none
Cons: you get what you pay for

Ok, so I guess its true. You get what you pay for. I paid almost nothing, and thats what I got. Ill start off with the good stuff:
Usually, if the kids want to see a movie, I can put the movie in, press play, and the kids get to see their movie......

Pros: Very Cheap/Cost Effective
Cons: Unsure of name brand/quality.Made me a little nervous.

I have to tell you all, that I was more than a bit nervous when I bought this because of the brand name. I was concerned about the quality of the product. I have not had any regrets with this product though.

I wasn't going to buy a DVD player...

Pros: Cheap, lots of formats, PLAY doubles as ENTER so remote often not needed.
Cons: Doesn't work

My mother wanted a DVD player. I suspect she'll hardly ever use it, so I tried to get off cheap. I got this Apex at Circuit City for $40. One feature I liked is that the PLAY key doubled as ENTER which means you do simple menu navigation (enough to...

Pros: supports MANY disc formats - see review
Cons: apex brand has high return rates...

I bought my AD-1200 from my local Walmart 1/10/2003, 63 bucks total (including tax). Appearance is extremely basic, there are only 3 buttons: eject, play and stop. (actually 4 including the power switch!). THERE IS NO LCD OR LED DISPLAY ON THE UNIT....

Pros: Just like the three musketeers: "ALL IN ONE !!!"
Cons: Can get slow on certain tasks due to processor limitations.

The APEX brand has been a favorite of mine for quite a while. Great prices and smart practical ideas. Who hasn't been to an electronics shop and drooled over some state of the art new electronic device, only to find its way over the average joe's...

Pros: Price
Cons: Name Brand???

I bought the Apex AD 1200 from the local Walmart with every intension of bringing it back after a disastrous trial run. To my astonishment this player did everything and more than stated on the box.

I played mp3’s burned on CDR and...

Pros: Reads every kind of CD I've thrown at it!
Cons: Cheaply made. Slow remote response.

I tried many different brands of DVD players before picking the APEX. This may sound weird considering the better quality of some of the other players, but my criteria was not primarily to play DVD's, but to watch JPEG's, and play MP3's with little use...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Broke after 6 months of minimal use, VCR looking design, BEWARE OF COMPANY!!!

Ok, well I purchased this DVD player because it was cheap ($40 at circuit city), and the other reviews (at the time) were almost all very good. Well...I have had this player for 8 months;however it has only been hooked up and used for 6 months and it has ...

Pros: Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. Does the job.
Cons: No fancy features. Totally basic functions. Somewhat large.

This DVD player is cheap, boring, unimpressive, I can't seem to program a universal remote to it, and it provides no 'clever solutions for modern living' whatsoever.

That being said, I couldn't be happier with the Apex AD 1200. I've found the...

Pros: Price. Simplicity. Availability
Cons: No LCD display. Remote use.

I spotted this DVD player at good old Wal-Mart. I was astonished at the price. I payed under $70 for the unit. Since it has dropped in price even more. Although I had never heard of the brand "APEX" previously, I thought it might be worth a try....
