Query: Simply didn't work

Read most of the reviews and decided to take a chance with a low priced item. The progressive scan option simply didn't work. When turned on, the picture was split in 1/2 in separate parts of my HDTV, and in black and white only.The menu navigation was cumbersome and really hard to get used to. My suggestion is to go to APEX's home page, and download the manual before you buy this item. If you can easily understand the manual, (and you don't receive a defective unit) then you'll have no problems with this unit.The remote control was strange to say the least. The usual 'enter' button was not near the directional buttons, so when you scroll through the DVD menu or the DVD player menu you have to constantly look for the enter button located among 10 other similar sized buttons. It's a small thing, but it drove me insane.
