Apex AD-1500 DVD Player Review (Brief impression)

Ease of Use:
Taken out of the box, even a person with no experience in setting up television accessories will have trouble setting up anything, especially this. The manual was fairly clear and nicely illustrated, but people like me might have to stare at the illustrations while hooking up the wires to the TV. If you mistook a wire or two, the whole thing doesn't work, so if you misunderstand the illustrations, you may have to do some trial and error. After all that mess, playing things are pretty common sense.

Features:
For $90, this DVD player has many features. One of the best features is that it can play Mp3s and all types of burned CDs. Other interesting features include 2-4x zoom, a built-in screen saver (never saw it), frame-by-frame advancing, parental locks, multiple language settings & captions, and slow motion forwarding. A $150 VCR usually doesn't have as many features as this cheap DVD player.

Performance:
It performs well, considering it's price. Compared to some dual DVD/VCR players, the picture quality is slightly superior. It also plays burned CDs fairly well.
Value:
The most I can say is that it's worth every penny with all of its features and decent image quality. For $90, it's one of the cheapest around!

Overall:
It's fairly easy to use with its pretty clear and decently illustrated manual. It has many features considering it's price range. My favorite features are its ability to play burned CDs and play forward slowly or frame by frame. It performs better than most dual DVD/VCR players, and is a good combination
with any VCR. Worth every penny.

Steady Skies,
Martin
