The MP3 and CD playback of this player are great, but its main function, DVD playback, is worthless. I have tried two of these players (did an exchange), and both have a flaw in which during DVD playback, the video constantly fluctuates from bright to dark, with increased saturation while dark. I know this is the fault of the player because the menu and “screensaver” modes do not present any fluctuation. Also, I made sure I was playing Region 1 coded DVDs to be certain of compatibility.
Perhaps the store where I purchased the player received a bum shipment, and I’m not saying you shouldn’t try it out yourself. Just make sure all the features work before you throw away the receipt.

there is probably a very good reason why this DVD player costs less than $50.

This model 1200 does not allow you to bypass the “macrovision copy protection” which totally distorts the picture for the majority of consumers who are connecting this using the *included* cables. *If* you have a nice TV with S-video inputs and *buy* an S-video cable, it may work fine, but I will never know. The picture fades in and out, and I find out this is a “feature” that cannot be bypassed. Other models can bypass this “feature” so I would look for one of those-check vcdhelpdottcom for info on which models work and which don’t. I’m very disappointed and hope to return this model.

Although this is not the EXACT Apex model that I own, it is very similar, and after having problems with mine I decided to log on and see if anyone else had reported similar problems as mine. And, to little suprise, they had. From the moment I first played a DVD on the player, it made THE MOST annoying vibrqating sound that continued for the entire movie. At one point it became so loud, that I could no longer hear my movie over it! Eventually, however, that seemed to stop, although it would occassionally still make sound. Now, after only a few months, the player repeatedly displays: NO DISC each time a disc is placed inside. To make it worse, the APEX Help Hotline offered no help. After waiting on hold for over 30 minutes, I was instructed that it may be broken (Duh!) and that if I wanted to have it fixed I would be required to send it in for a labor charge of … + shipping charges. That’s more than … of what I payed for the thing! My suggestion is that you skip APEX and spend that extra … on a better brand.
