Well, it's me again. It hasn't even been a month since my original review of the Apex AD-1500 DVD player and it's time to update. I still stand by my original thoughts on the cheapness of the unit and the fact that it plays everything; however, since then it has gotten worse. That "tacking sound" got worse, so I returned it for another unit. The second unit seemed better - no tacking sound - until 2 days ago I put in an SVCD and the image was shaking. It was blurry like the tv itself was vibrating really fast. I thought it might be my svcd so I put in an original-same thing. Then I noticed that when I pulled the disc out altogether, the generic "DVD" image was doing the same thing. Normal TV viewing was fine.
I took the unit back again, but this time for a refund. I think now that this unit is not worth buying under any circumstance. I would rather wait until I could scrounge up another $30 and buy something of much better quality. There are many players out there now that play all of the different media's - just do your research. vcdhelp.com is the greatest place to research players - check it out.

As for me - I have decided that a 5-disc changer would better suit my needs so I have just ordered a Pioneer DV-C503D from Wal-Mart online of all places. It seems that this model is no longer made and retailers no longer sell it. I could have found it cheaper at another online place, but wal-mart will let you return online purchases to there local retail stores within 90 days;-). Seeing as how I'm getting more and more picky, being able to return is a huge factor.

I'll let you know what I think of the Pioneer DV-C503D in a few weeks -
Until then - happy viewing
