Good Points

I bought this DVD player because it was loaded with features. It has a Dolby DTS decoder, MP3 decoder and a 3 disk carousel, all for well under $200. However, I found that the price really was too good to be true.

Bad Points

I purchased the AD-703 player and within a month the sound stopped working, but it was still under warranty so I was sent a new one. Four months later that one stopped reading DVDs entirely. It was no longer under warranty and not worth the money for repairs. I have never been more dissatisfied with any electronic purchase as I have with this DVD player.

General Comments

Unless you enjoy purchasing new DVD players three times a year, I would not purchase the Apex AD-703 under any circumstance.

    Well, I wouldn't have bought something that only had a 5 month warranty, unless it was incredibly cheap. Here in the UK all new goods get at least a 12 month warranty, and generally you can get satisfaction after the warranty period is up simply because it's unreasonable to expect electrical equipment to only last a year.

    I had this APEX AD-703 for more than 2 years now since it was first released. It had no problem as far as picture, sound, and performance is concerned. It's true that this is a cheap brand under $200 (I've bought it for $150 over the internet). Probably, the one you bought belongs to the defective stocks that the store gave you (you know, even in manufacturing there are defective products eventhough it was tested ok, some of the reasons that products tend to degrade is the shipping, temperature, and enviro conditions when the product reach the market). This APEX AD-703 is worth your money because of this powerful features (3-disc changer, dolby digital/dts processing, cheap price, 2-mic karaoke function, multi-regional capabilities, and most importantly it can even read the PIRATED dvd or vcd movies/karaokes that I doubt any dvd players can do at a price under $200 if not you will be forced to buy expensive brands like Pioneer that cost about $1000 which is also multi-regional and has the same capabilities) So just return back your defective APEX AD-703 and you can see that you'll be enjoying to the fullest your home theater entertainment experience.
