Comment Re:Don't buy the Apex 600a or AD703 (Score 1) 184
I just picked up a AD703 at Circuit City last month and I just replaced it with a Toshiba yesterday. I could never get it to play a few of the DVDs that I own including my newest, Gladiator. It seems to have problems keeping up with decoding the mpeg causing it to pause and switch to different audio settings a random.
My other main problem with it is the poorly designed remote. Bottons that should be next to each other appear as far away as possible. ie, the angle and audio switching buttons are at opposite ends of the remote. Also the navagational arrows make it a two handed nightmare when moving through the menus.
I had no problems returning it at Circuit City. They didnt even ask me any questions about why I didnt want it. I suspect that I'm not the only person who has returned this thing.
If you want mp3 playback, then wait a few years til they get it all worked out or buy a cheap computer.
