Hmmm... so new that it doesn't even show up on the DVD Player Compatability List, so no way to tell if it will play CD-R's, VCD's, SVCD's, MP3's, etc.... or if you can make adjustments for Macrovision and regions.

I'll have to wait on this one.

Well, here is the link to Apex' list of features: as you can see, it does support mp3's and a couple of nice new features-Windows media player support, Kodak picture CD, and HDCD. BTW, what is HDCD?

The Apex Digital AD-2500 comes out this summer... thought that was going to be the first for Windows Media player... o well, looks like I'll pick this one up.

Pretty sure it plays DVD-R... seems most Apex does - with ease.

Just ordered this Apex dvd as a spare for the bedroom. Added a dvd movie to get total over $100 and the free shipping. I then applied the 10 off 75 coupon for mastercard holders which still works. Sweet...

Your link to Amazon has a techbargains referral in it. You should remove it. Here is the correct, no referral link:

This model supports WMA (audio) only. Don't expect to play DivX or WMV files on it.

Pulled from VCDhelp ...........

Its a great little player. Plays almost everything except for SVCDs burned with Nero. If you burn the SVCD that are in the .bin and .cue format with Nero, it works perfectly fine. However, if you create the SVCD by dragging the Mpeg2 into Nero's Super Video template and burn it, the result of the SVCD will still play, but the frame and audio will skip around and you'll see blocks of pixels that are distorted on the screen.

In addition, it also plays .avi files as well. But to make it work, you mush rename the .avi extension to a different extenstion such as .dat or .mpg (i.e. Spider-Man.avi to Spider-Man.mpg or Spider-Man.mpeg or even Spider-Man.dat) and then burn it as data onto the CD. The AD-1600 then will think it is a Mpeg1 or Mpeg2 video file instead and playback will work. I'll have to convert all my CDs from .avi to .mpg now.

Can anyone confirm this???
