Apex Digital ADV-3800

Pros: Stylish, easy to use, hasn't given me any major problems!

Cons: DVD audio quality's slightly poor, some of remote control's buttons smaller/difficult to use.

Review: Very inexpensive purchase from ebay.com, no major problems other than the DVD audio being a little lower than the VCR audio. Size is nice, functionable, stylish. Remote control is nice, some of the buttons are small, the middle round control is kind of ...

Pros: Price, ability to play multiple formats, handles DVD-R pretty well.

Cons: Machine is not perfect. Encountered minor problems with bonus features sections on burned DVDs.

Review: I've tried Sansui, JVC, and Sony, and this machine played more types of media, at better quality, than any of them. I also have an old Apex 1500 that plays everything--best machine I've ever encountered. I think because Sony is a content provider, they ...

Pros: Great price for what you are getting. Easy installation.

Cons: No problems with it.

Review: Very easy installation and I have had no problems with it's functions. Very pleased for it's price and convenience of having either media ...

Pros: Inexpensive, excellent VCR, very quiet.

Cons: Low volume DVD Audio.

Review: Paid $90 Office Max, VCR excellent; DVD very good BUT audio is low-just crank up the TV audio. My first unit was defective, no video output. Overall I'd say a fine unit, I've had mine for about a month. $15 gives you a 2 year exchange warrenty, ...

Pros: Well built, good quality, and inexpensive.

Cons: Loud, big, clock doesn't auto-set, and a few other minor annoyances.

The Bottom Line: Noisy and big, but well-built and great quality. Definitely worth a look when it's on sale cheap. Significant internal ingress problem reduces overall rating by one star.

Review: UPDATE! - Significant problem found Several weeks ago, I now have a cable channel on 3 (which before was scrambled HBO). I have found that the built-in tuner shows SEVERE ingress on channel three, despite absolutely no interference ...

Pros: Two in one! Not expensive, either.

Cons: Tiny buttons on remote, loud on the VCR side.

The Bottom Line: It's practical for a money-saving consumer that wants to have the best of both machines.

Review: This DVD/VCR combo is a dream come true for me, I needed both in my living room and this unit takes up the same amount of space the VCR I used to have took up, give or take half an inch. The wiring part was a little tricky. I still can't manage to record ...

Pros: Plays SVCD and VCD formats

Cons: A lot of VHS aligning for most tapes. It is not a simple adjustment.

Review: For the price this is a pretty good VCR-DVD Combo player that also plays the other formats like SVCD and ...

Pros: Small, light weight and very inexpensive. Picture quality was good while it lasted.

Cons: Poor service life. You get what you pay for.

Review: I bought this piece of equipment to replace a separate VCR recorder and DVD player that had quit working. After using the DVD player to watch 3 movies it quit working. The VCR however, continued to work. It had just passed the warranty period for ...

Pros: Plays most formats of DVD, CD, and VHS that I would like

Cons: annoying beeping, and the fact that it didn't last

Review: I bought this DVD player over a year ago, and it was ok. A few quarks here and there, but what piece of electronics doesn't have quarks. One of the major quarks was it would randomly beep loudly. It wouldn't beep while viewing all DVDs, nor would it ...

Pros: Space saver, easy for wiring and easy to use, works good only initially

Cons: DVD stopped working suddenly - only VCR works now, but very dissatisfied.

Review: DVD-VCR combo as such a good price sounded really a great deal and the Circuit City sales person got me into buying this product. It worked great initially, but then suddenly the DVD stopped working!!! VCR works fine, but the DVD doesn't work at all... ...
