Back in 1999, a friend of mine bought an Apex DVD player (not a portable). It offered a terrible picture, so he took it back and - on my recommendation - got a Panasonic, which has made him happy for the last three years.Since I could buy the PD-100 for such a great price, I decided to give Apex another shot. After all, three years is a long time, so they may have improved. Nope. Initially, the player worked fine. The picture seemed somewhat fuzzy, but it played back accurately. However, after I tested two DVDs, the third showed a VERY distorted image. It looked like a camera negative! I shut off the player and tried again - same thing. I let it "rest" for a few hours and tried again - same thing.The piece of junk broke after literally 10 minutes of use! It's going back to Amazon and I'll buy a Panasonic instead - I learned my lesson...
