1 out of 5 stars Not Good.......2006-09-14

I took mine out west on a trip and the battery life was about 15 minutes (fully charged). I ran it off the power adapter and could not get through a full movie.
If your DVD/CD's have ANY imperfections this player won't play them. I finally got a brand new audio cd to play straight from the package, although it still skipped whenever you walked through the room.
Not recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Great little DVD player - may need to calibrate the battery, though.......2005-10-17

This is a cool little player - I've used it for over a year. My only complaint is that it doesn't actually display native DVD resolution, so on screen text in movies can be difficult to read. This thing will play just about any format of DVD except for DVD-RW (+RW works fine, though). DVD's with MP3's on them play well too.

When you charge the batter, you should not do it while hooked up to the player. If your battery doesn't work, you can calibrate it by hooking a 12 volt vehicle light bulb to the + and - terminals of the battery over night, and then charging it up to full (leave it plugged in for about 12 hours). As I used it my battery life went down, but calibrating it (as I mentioned above) got me back up to about 3 hours of life.

I've also used this attached to a TV using the S-Video, and I have used the option to connect my PS2 to it (very cool!)

1 out of 5 stars Apex makes junk.......2005-03-17

Apex Digital products often fail within the first year. They have horrible customer service, false advertising, and fail to honor their warranties. Please check www.labbb.gov (Better Business Bureau) and search for Apex Digital to see the F rating the better business bureau has given them. Saving 10-15 dollars is not worth the hassle they cause.

3 out of 5 stars Didn't Stand the Endurance Test.......2005-02-28

I have the model before this one - the 650S. Hardly had any use on it before my husband passed away. When the grandchildren came to visit I thought, "Great, they can watch DVDs in this little player in the car on the way back home." WRONG. The battery was DEAD and wouldn't charge. As a matter of fact, the battery light would not come on that it was even trying to charge.

However, the unit still works with AC or with DC in the cigarette lighter. But that was not my intention. I first thought about sending it with one granddaughter who came to visit earlier and who would be flying home. "What a great idea to have her take it on the plane and have her mother mail it back to me." But I'm glad I didn't since it would not have worked for her.

Cute? Yes. Great size? Yes. Great product? No. Sorry, folks, thumbs down on this one if you want portability.

1 out of 5 stars Stay Away.......2005-01-09

I just want to warn you about this companies equipment. They don't stand behind it at all. So far I have owned 2 of their prodects and neither one has lasted 1 year. Unfortunately, their warentee is for 90 days. This Portable DVD players battery never worked (I brought 3 of them back before I got one that worked and that one stopped working after 40 days...and the batteries only warenteed for 30 days). This company does not stand behind their products and their customer service...well I guess they call it that...is useless. Trust me...don't buy anything from them. Save your money!!!
