rar2k.'s Review of Apex AD-660
24th Nov 2001
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Great DVD player. Love the value and quality. Had a Philips 711 that costed more and didn't do half what this does.
Easy to use. Universal for NTSC and PAL. It works GREATLY even run at 220VAC (it's built for it). Easy to reprogram for region free and NO macrovision.
Bad Points
On huge lists of MP3 files, sometimes the shuffle function is limited to the first few songs. Haven't figured out yet if this is with all CDs or just some. Audio is a little low.
General Comments
Very good value DVD player. Quality in my opinion is very good. I wish the audio volume were somewhat higher.
I bought the Apex Ad-660 DVD player in the USA and used it on NTSC TVs at 110VAC, then shipped it to Italy and I'm currently using it on PAL TVs with a straight 220VAC plugged in.
This DVD player could use a second set of RCA jacks in the back (limited to 2 video and 1 set of l-r audio + SVHS) for more demanding users.
On average, people found this review very helpful
