My Apex-1500 seems to be going out. When I put a disc in the player tries to load it but is unsuccesful. You have to open the tray and load the disc several times to eventually get it to play. I've read that they have reliability problems. I got it for Christmas so I'm not sure I'll be able to return it. Anyway, I'm looking to replace it. I've been very satisified with the player (up to now) in it's ability to play almost anything that I through at it. Can anyone recommend a player in the $150 (US) or so price range that is as versatile as the Apex-1500 and is more reliable.
