The Apex 5131 is GREAT for value and function! What I did not find in a lot of advertisements is what it can actually do... probably because it has too much too offer. Find me another box that can do everything thing this can, including being able to read: MP3, CDR/CDRW, DVD/DVDR, MPG (automatically read w/o changing to VCD format, VCD/SVCD, JPG (auto scrolling), Kodak image format, in addition to 3 disc carousel, AND mic inputs for KARAOKE for [this price]or less!! It's not perfect, like the dinky remote but what do you expect for $100. To its credit, this [price]box works better than ANY or higher that I've been reseaching so far! Here's another point, MP3's are FREE on the internet and if this box can read DVDR's, imagine having over 700 MP3 songs on ONE DVDR disk! That's where your savings really begins!... and that's just a start...

I purchased this unit basically because it was in the price range that I could afford, Imagine my suprise when I got a DVD player with superior functionality to many other high end, and very expensive units! I say you get what you pay for, so why pay for someone's NAME, i'd rather spend the money on quality!

Be aware of this procuct. A little over a year and it will not read a disk. Trash.

This baby plays it all, from JPEG's to home made DVD's. It's loaded with features most popular players dont even consider.I did have a problem with the 1st one I got as in being dead right out of the box, but then 2nd one works fine. Amazon makes it real easy for you to return if needed.

While the product itself is okay, a functioning remote control is very critical to using all functionality. Unfortunately, my remote didn't function well, and attempting to get customer support was very difficult. It's also difficult to find a universal remote that will operate the player.
