If you want to wait 20-30 minutes to watch anything, buy this. You absolutely DO have to open, close, load, wait, open, close, load, wait.....etc etc., then all you get is "BAD DISK". I would have LOVED to been able to take a baseball bat to this stupid thing. I do have to give it credit, we had it for about a year before it went wrong. But when it rains, it pours, the bad outweighed the good by a long shot!!! DONT GET THIS ONE....move right along to the next one on the list!!!!!

Who would buy DVD players and put them in their kids rooms? I am a teacher and its no wonder I come across students with short attention spans who are failing their classes. Instead of the Dept. of Education implementing all these regulations onto teachers, they should do it to irresponsible parents. In most cases, its not the teachers who are failing the students--its the parents!!! (See J. Pages review)

I brought two of these in July of 04. I put them in my kids rooms. They watch movies on them everyday, and I have not had any problems with them. I am satisfied with them and my kids get watch their movies with no problems. Great Price and Still working

I concur with F. Littlefields review of August 28, 2004.
This is the biggest piece of junk I ever owned. In fact, I just yanked it out, beat it to a pulp (After removing my new DVD of "The Italian Job," and threw it away. Half the time, it takes 10-12 tries to get a DVD to "load," meaning you have to open, close, wait; open, close, wait...
There are also frequent skips and freeze-ups during playback. Apparently, it does not handle dual layer discs well at all.
You get what you pay for. If you want headaches, buy this. If you want to watch DVDs spend another hundred dollars for a player that works!
Another drawback: Apex apparently uses proprietary remote control codes, meaning you cannot program your cable or satellite remotes AUX function for the DVD.

This is my third Apex and the only one I ever had trouble with. Some DVDs play in slow motion or jump to some part of the movie when inserted. It also has a hard time keeping video and audio in sync. If you pause it will be a second or two out of sync. You have to rewind and play it a couple of times to get it back. This problem is with DVDs, VCDs and SVCDs.

I bought this for my Dad as a fathers day gift. He and my mom watch DVDs at the dinner table while eating meals, and he uses it to entertain his grandkids on the Bermuda to Orlando flights.
He loves the color screen, the quality of picture and sound and the fact that he can attach earphones to respect others around him. He has had not bad experience with this item.

This is not my primary DVD player, I got this to use in my classroom, and for what it is, it gets the job done with very little fuss... easy to operate, the remote is a "no brainer". This is just a basic "no frills" DVD Player. I like that I can play my WMA encoded music CDs on this. I am satisfied with this player. For <$40., you cant lose.

I sent this to my father for Fathers Day. It stopped working after he watched his first movie.The return process will take weeks. Just a warning.

nice looking small unit that I bought due to low price and previous good experience with an apex 1100-w. but with both s-video or component video hookups, some DVDs get the audio track a fraction of a second behind the video. (on best of mike myers and law and order - ci). other DVDs play o.k. cant seem to figure out anything to tweak to get things right.
