apex ad-1500, poor picture quality

[l3ol]

i recently went and bought a apex ad-1500. i got it home to play a burnt cdr and it played but couldn't see picture, it was all blocked and color skiping and audio problem. i havebeen to a few post sites seeking help, i have updated firmware and nothing changed. i have used nero, ez cd, cdrwin to burn mpg's bin/vue files and its all the same. any suggestions? hopefuly it will be better then apexdigiralinc.com's help, they said i need rf modultor, looked it up and there 200.oo and up...

I have the same model hooked up to my VCD and the picture is great. Would probably be better if I has an S-Video connection. Also what speed are you burning at and what media? I know this player is known for player anything but I was having problems watching DVD rips burned at 12X and then I lowered it to 4X and it worked flawlessly. I don't know why but the first time I player VCDs on mine the image was all blocky and the picture was pretty bad and then it just started working, dont' know what happened.

Sounds to me like poor quality media.

Try a high quality CDR (Verbatim Datalife Plus for example) and see if it does the same thing.
