Has anyone tried fooling around with the dvd-rom in their apex dvd players. Since the dvd-rom in my apex-500w is just an standard IDE dvd-rom drive I swapped it out with my old Afree computer dvd-rom drive and it worked. Although the Afree drive is a piece, I was thinking of buying another pioneer dvd-500M which would allow my apex to read dvd-rw's without a problem (and read other lower quality dvd-r's.)
