Apex AD2600 Progressive-Scan DVD Player

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The slim Apex AD-2600 is equipped to serve as a high-end movie source and a flexible music player, delivering premium-quality progressive-scan video images (viewable on high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and decoding the popular MP3 and Windows Media Audio music formats. If you burn pictures from a digital camera to CD-Rs and CD-RWs, you can even use the player for watching slideshows right on a TV. Apex's active full screen function (AFF) helps resize widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) video images to fill 4:3 aspect-ratio sets.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the AD-2600 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. In any case, standard composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

In the audio realm, a set of left/right analog-audio outputs channels audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Product Description:
Apex AD 2600 DVD Player features progressive scan (480p) playback, Kodak Picture CD/JPEG playback, MP3/WMA audio file playback, video fluorescent display, active full screen function (AFF), 2x and 4x zoom, frame-by-frame advance, and LED indicator. Common inputs include progressive/interlaced component video output, S-video output, composite video output, optical digital audio output, and analog stereo audio output.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2007-05-13

Bought this about 4 years ago and it still works well. plays everything. Great DVD player.

3 out of 5 stars It's alright... only if you're really cheap.......2006-07-01

Unlike many of the fellow reviewers, I haven't had much problem with it (most of the problems posted can be rectified through the menu). The picture quality is good and nothing much to complain about. Occassionally, however, the AD-2600 player would not read certain DVDs (I speculuate that these may have "special features"), i.e. "Mission Impossible 1" and some "Sex in the City" discs. If you only watch movies sometimes on your standard television and choose price over quality, the Apex AD-2600 is perfect for you. However, be wary of its inability to read some DVDs, lack of support from the company (no firmware updates, no FAQs/Manual on the website, etc.), and if you own an HDTV, I suggest you just wait for a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player (the PlayStation 3 is dirt cheap for a great BR Player: $599).

4 out of 5 stars the product is for the advanced users.......2006-06-24

I have a 2500 at least two years, it is not perfect, but it is still working, sometimes after view a special format disk, it may be messed up system, but with the P/N or I/P button, it can be reset back. I would buy another one if I need it.

1 out of 5 stars Works intermittently.......2005-12-27

DVDs that work on other machines won't load on this machine. Sometimes it will take 20 minutes trying to load and then will reject the disk. Sometimes it skips large segments of a movie that plays fine on another machine. Not worth the trouble!

1 out of 5 stars It just doesn't work.......2005-10-29

There are tons of people now who have posted reviews that say that this DVD player just stopped working on them. Well, that should hopefully give you a clue as to whether or not to buy this piece of junk. The same exact thing happened to me. One day it just stopped putting out audio or video, for no good reason that I could ascertain. It is now in the garbage pile waiting to be taken out with the morning trash.
