Beautiful picture!.......2007-09-14
Purchased this portable DVD player as a gift for my electronically challenged husband. He loves it!! He prefers to see his DVD's on this player rather than the TV. The picture is crystal clear! Very easy to use, he has had no trouble figuring out how to use this player. The large screen is so easy to see. There are two ports for headphones if two people want to listen. I wish it had come with a carrying case, but am very happy with this product. I researched these players before I purchased and this player had good reviews. I would recommend this player to anyone, but especially for anyone who is older (poorer eyesight) and electronically challenged. Amazon did have the best price.
one out of three.......2007-08-31
This model has iffy sound, not very loud, the speakers should be facing us not up towards the ceiling and it stops occasionally. My Initial was much better in every way and lasted over three years. But was only a 7" and had a clearer picture, I should have stuck with that brand for how much this one cost.
no s-video output.......2007-08-10
The product description says that this unit has s-video output. The unit that I bought from Amazon does not have s-video output.
Great for traveling and good price for what you get.......2007-06-25
I had been researching portable DVD players for a while and was scared to death by all the reviews I had read. It seems I couldn't find one manufacture that had it "all". I had finally decided that I would get the Panasonic LS850 even though I read about the dreaded HO3 error with various Panasonic models. I am a Costco member and I decided that I would by it there because they have such great consumer protection. I am glad I did! I ended up not buying the Panasonic because Costco was also selling the Mintek. In all my studies I had not read horrible things about it. Just warm reviews. None of the reviews mentioned errors that would cause major repair. This player had a larger screen than the Panasonic and it came with a whole car kit: case that fits onto the headrest and two sets of headphones, along with the DC adapter for the car. I decided to give it a try and the representative at Costco told me that she had a Mintek for 5 years and it was running great. Well we took it on the road over the weekend and my daughter was able to watch her movies without any problems. The anti shock really works as I did my best at shaking it around, not too hard, to see if I could get it to skip and it didn't.
My other fear that a lot of people complain about is the noise you get from the DVD drive itself. I didn't find that a problem at all. The machine makes noise when the DVD is first put in and is loading the movie, but once it started playing it was very quiet. We were able to watch movies in our hotel room without the headphones. I also found the sound to be very adequate for the speaker size. Other complaints I read about other manufactures was that the sound was not loud enough. Not a problem with this one. I found that on full volume it was very loud. Now in the car my daughter, who is 2, used the headphones, mainly because I didn't want to hear Elmo's World over and over.
Another feature this one has over the Panasonic is a remote control with lots of features on it. The Panasonic for some reason has no remote.
I also liked the larger screen and found the resolution to be very nice actually. We watched finding Nemo in widescreen and the colors were amazing. I was worried that the screen did not do all the cool tilt features the panasonic does, but found no glare problems in the car. Now we do have tinted windows so the sun was never shinning right on the screen. Any screen would have a hard time with that.
Another feature is that when you turn the power off it knows where the movie left off. When you power it back on it automatically starts to play where you left. Most players have to stay in sleep mode to gets this feature. I mean as long as you don't take the DVD out it will go back and resume play.
One of the cons is the battery life. It is only about 2.5 hours. The panasonic claims to have a 6 hour battery life. We don't fly long distances so this may not be the player for someone who can't plug in longer than 3 hours. I don't think it would make it over the ocean. However some planes (American Airlines) are now made with ad/dc plugs for computers (we can thank the techies for a lot actually).
The bag it came with is great and keeps all the accessories. The bag fastens on to the headrest with ease and ours did not move. We have a Ford Freestyle.
One reason I had thought about the Panasonic was because it did DivX (whatever that is) because my husband was going on about it. However, he is the one who choose the Mintek. He said that since we will be using it more for our daughter we really don't need that feature and he was more attracted to the larger screen. It does make a difference.
Now, I have only had this player for a week, but it has made it through one road trip. If I have problems in the coming months I will be sure to update this review.
I bought this player for $179.00 which is a little more than what Amazon is advertizing it for, however at Costco you get the carrying bag and 2 sets of headphones. Costso also sells the Panasonice LS850 with a carrying bag for $189.00. It will really be what you prefer. After reading so many reviews on the Panasonic (different models too) about the dreaded ERROR, I decided not to tempt fate.

Mintek has taken the next natural step in the evolution of the company's product line combining leading DVD technology with state-of-the-art LCD technology.PRODUCT FEATURES:DVD/MP3/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/Kodak Picture CD;8" 16:9 TFT widescreen monitor;Built-in stereo speakers;Built-in anti-shock system;Optical output;AV output;High capacity rechargeable lithium battery;Multi function remote control;Car cigarette adapter included.
Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're traveling cross-country or want to show your DVDs at a friend's house across town, the Mintek MDP-1810KIT portable DVD player is an all-in-one, easy-to-carry entertainment package: the player and its stereo headphones slide into a supplied carry case. The unit plays DVD-Video (both NTSC and PAL-formatted discs), CDs (including recordable and rewriteable CDs), MP3-filled music discs, and Kodak Picture CDs for custom slide shows of your digital photos. A bright, 8-inch TFT(active-matrix) color LCD makes any program look great, and it's configured in a 16:9 widescreen dimension that matches the shape of most DVD movies.
At home, you can connect the player to a television (either composite- or S-video), and--when it's hooked up to a compatible audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system--the tiny player can bring soundtracks to life with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sound.
Designed for easy use on the road, the MDP-1810KIT includes a high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery pack, a car power adapter, and an AC power adapter. Its built-in anti-shock system helps prevent annoying interruptions. Listen through headphones or use the built-in stereo speakers. A wireless remote control will come in handy when you're sitting across the room from the player, as when you have it connected to a TV.
It supports multiple audio language tracks and multilingual subtitles, and you can select from multiple camera angles on DVDs providing that option. Among other key features are 6-mode picture zoom, 4-speed slow motion, fast forward and reverse search, chapter preview ("digest") mode, random play, and repeat play--a feature that's especially useful for trade shows or demonstrations.
What's in the Box
CD player, a high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (external), a remote control, remote battery, stereo headphones, a carrying case, an AC/DC power adapter, a vehicle DC power adapter, audio/video hookup cables, and a user's manual.

Missing pieces to package!!!!.......2007-09-04
I purchased this item BECAUSE it allegedly came as a complete kit according to the description. When it arrived (took 12days)there was no carrying case and no stereo headphones!!!!!!
And the packaging? It was delivered in the Mintek box as though it came right off the store shelf. No protective covering, no packing box.
I haven't even plugged it in I am so disgusted!
2 Years and Still Working.......2007-05-21
Bought this at Kohls's almost 2 years ago and it is still working... used mostly by my daughter to play movies and CD's in the car. I was worried that it was not a big name electronics maker and I have not had to deal with Mintek customer service, so I can't comment on that. But so far I have been very pleased with the purchase.
Crappy.......2006-03-07
I would have given this item 0 stars, but there was no such opportunity. I borrowed this from my girlfriend for a trip to visit my grandpa in the hospitol, and it worked great, for most of the trip. Then it just stopped and never worked again. It says no disc when you put a DVD in. DO NOT BUY THIS! I had to stpend money again and buy a new one for my girlfriends family. Total junk!
Decent for the price.......2006-01-02
I have had mine about 2 years. It works great. Yes, the speakers are weak in a large area, but a set of computer speakers fix that problem. I have had a few loading problems, but they are recorded DVD's. I usually just reload and it works fine. I have used it in the car, on airplane trips and at work. We watch between patients, sometimes it takes 4 hours to watch a less than 2 hour movie, and it will keep our place in the pause mode. This is a great function. I love mine
Player is unreliable - do not buy!.......2005-12-27
The player does not always load the DVD's. And it never fails that part way during the movie, it will stop playing, get stuck on a scene, and never start again. It is completely unreliable. Sadly, I did not start having serious problems with it until after the warranty was up. I've only had it 6 months and it is very frustrating that it was such a waste of money.

A good product for your dollar!.......2006-07-06
I've had the Mintek MDP-5860 for exactly one year now and i have gotten my money's worth. I'll list the positives and negatives of this unit.
Positives:
The 5" screen has great picture sharpness,color and contrast
(which is adjustible)
The adjustable screen (forward & back) is handy when sitting or lying.
The zoom feature is handy for those who have troble viewing letterbox films on this 5" screen.
This little player can play almost every cd/dvd format.
The small size fits almost anywhere for easy travel.
The virtual suround is fantastic and clear.
Negatives:
The battery life is very short (Roughly 2 hrs.)
The external inputs or on the rear of the player, making it impossible to connect devices during travel.
The wireless remote runs on a lithum battery for longer life, but can be hard to replace.
All in all, i believe you get what you pay for, and you get exactly that in the Mintek MDP-5860. If you comapare this player to other 5" portables out there will you find better? Probably, but not for the price. What you get is a nice little player with some nice bells and wistles for a bargin price.
A Solid Product.......2006-07-01
I have drug this thing over half the world in the 2 months that I have owned it (Germany, Iraq, Texas) and have had no problems. I take it to the gym and put it on the treadmill for longer runs. The sound quality is not good on the speakers, but I use headphones anyway. The screen does not fold out all the way back, but enough that it can set on the magazine rack of most treadmills/bikes/elliptical machines. Battery life is short--1 movie only--and charger takes only 110 power. Buy the extended life battery although it doubles the cost of the machine.
Cheaply but adequately made.......2005-12-31
I've bought three of these now. First I got the MDP-5861, which is the widescreen version. It lasted a year, which is not bad considering my then-three-year-old was its biggest user. The screen broke but it still works with an external monitor.
I bought another for a friend, and it still works, then I bought the 4:3 (standard screen) 5860 as a replacement.
Treat it gently and with a bit of luck it should last a few years. It's not bad for the price.
VERY PLEASED.......2005-02-17
When I purchased the DVD player it was MUCH cheaper than any other product(although prices have come down since then). It works with the battery, in your car lighter, and you can plug it into the wall. I purchased it for a plane trip with my 3 year old but it has worked well and he has yet to break it(and he is very good at breaking things)
Speakers won't work after 5 months.......2005-01-24
A few weeks after I bought it the open button would get stuck so the door wouldn't stay down. It's a reoccurring problem, but so far I've been able to unstick it enough for the door to close... but it's not easy.
The speakers just died on it after it was only 5 months old. I do not play it loud, I don't abuse it, & I don't even use it often. AMF, I take good care of my gadgets. The sound from the earphone jack also died at the same time. So it means the audio amp chip inside is blown. Fortunately, I had a high-impedance set of earbuds with a volume control built in the line lying around. I was able to plug it in the audio out in the back of the player to get sound from there.
Unfortunately the battery pack covers those output jacks when one is going portable. So the only way I could get sound now, is without the battery.
Product Description
If you want even a bigger screen size, go with the DVD-1810's XXL 8" TFT/LCD screen. And just like the all of Mintek portables, all you have to do is plug it into the wall, charge up the battery or plug it into your car with an optional adapter to enjoy full time entertainment.

You can do better.......2006-08-16
Had I read the reviews here initially, I would have looked for another brand. I bought my first 1810 unit at Cosco and within three months, my case started breaking and Cosco readily replaced the unit. I had the other unit for a little over a year and it's no longer workimg. On both units, I would sometimes have difficulties as other reviewers have reported and I would keep trying and it would generally start to work. I thought at first the DVD discs were defective and replaced one. Then I thought it was a dirty disc and would insure the disc was clean. Then I thought it was the unit needed to be perfectly level and then I thought it was that my laser needed cleaning, so, I bought a cleaner and used it. The really frustrating aspect of the whole problem was that each solution seemed to work for a while. Even though I had to start a DVD allover again to get back to where I was when a freez-up began, or if it took 20 minutes for the unit to work, I persevered. When it finally malfunctioned enough to totally exasperate me, I emailed the Mintec company for technical suggestions and never heard from them. So, it is a hit or miss proposition as to whether you will get a dependable unit and the functional ife of the unit is highly varable and the technical support is not supportive. In short, even though some reviewers are sastisfied, for the same money, you can do better.
Disposable DVD Player - Decent quality while it lasts..........2006-01-30
I purchased this in August 2004 for my daughter during long plane/car trips. It worked well and went through a lot of use until it recently gave out (Jan 2006). Although I don't consider that necessarily good quality, if you get a good deal and buy it from a store (such as CostCo) which has a liberal return policy you can probably end up with a decent player that will last you 1-3 years or so, even if you have to return one if it fails during the initial burn-in period.
Can you say "JUNK"?.......2006-01-21
If anyone provided a review for this item right after playing it the first time, they would have written a glowing review. So would I. But I have only used it ONE time for a plane trip. When I just took it out of the case for the second time, the thing will not play. When you insert a disc, it just makes this awful noise and then says "no disc found". Regardless of what dvd is inserted, the machine does not work. It was used not more than 6 hours tops. What a piece of trash it is.
Has worked great for over a year.......2005-12-28
I don't know what happened with some of the other reviewers, but my Mintek MDP-1810 has worked great for well over a year and through 2 young children. We have taken it overseas, on flights, used at home during power outages and it is still going strong. Great picture quality and a tough little machine.
Don't buy it!.......2005-01-25
I bought this dvd player for my husband. It didn't seem to work at first the screen was always black. After that problem got fixed it froze in the middle of moovies. On rare occasions it works through out a moovie but most of the time freezes or the screen goes black. I would not recommend this to anyone.

MINMDP1770KIT
Amazon.com Product Description
Mintek's MDP-1770KIT offers the convenience of a home-theater component and the versatility of a portable DVD player with all the trimmings, from a tidy tote bag to a car kit and dual headphone setup.

This handy configuration also spares whoever's up front from having to listen to blaring audio from a kids' movie in the back seat.

No Picture After a Few Uses.......2007-09-05
The dvd player was used less than 10 times then it stopped showing picture while the sound is still good. I'll just have to get another DVD of different brand. This one obviously does not last. Will avoid buying Mintek again in the future.
Customer Service Attrocious.......2007-04-22
We purchased a Mintek MDP1770 portable DVD player for our daugther a little less than two years ago. The product worked okay for a while, but then we had a problem where the unit wouldn't power up whether we were using AC power or battery. We tried contacting the Mintek customer service number several times. Each time we called during business hours and instead of getting a person we were directed to leave a message in the mail box. Twice when we tried doing this, we got a message that the mailbox was full. Finally on another try we left our contact information and a description of the problem and have never heard back from anyone at Mintek. I would strongly advise against purchasing a product from a company that provides this type of shoddy customer support. I can see from some of the other posts in this forum that I am not the only one to share this viewpoint.
Horrible Customer Service.......2007-04-18
This was given to me as a gift. The owner's manual and rechargeable battery pack were missing. The case was the wrong size and the DVD player did not fit. All I wanted to do was exchange the kit for one that was complete. When all the 3 different stores told me they were out of stock and did not know when more were coming in, I wrote the company hoping to get the problem fixed. I never recieved a response and will never buy a MINTEK item again.
Mintek portable DVD player.......2007-03-23
This DVD player is workaholic.
The resone I gave it 4 stars, because after long use the hing for the screen brook off.
poor quality, a definitely do NOT buy.......2007-02-09
I wish I had read all the reviews before I bought this unit, I stopped working after used only a few times, then the "no disk" warning showed up with a perfect fine DVD in there, and pictures started to freeze up. Here is the funniest thing, I found if I shake it , it will continue to play, if I stop, it will freeze. So if you want a good exercise machine, this might be a good one, because my arms are so sore after shake-and-play for two hours.

BEWARE of Mintek!!!.......2007-02-09
I had a different Mintek before this one and it worked great for my daughters. It finally quit working, so we got this one for Christmas. It stopped working after two weeks of use. To late to return it to the place we bought it, so we had to return it to Mintek Digital. I returned it on 1/16/06. I didn't hear anything from them so I called, gave them the tracking # etc. They said they would get back to me... Guess what, I have yet to speak with another human from Mintek Digital. I call at least two times a day to leave a brief description of what I'm calling about, along with my name and phone #'s. I also email them a couple times a day to no avail. I finally today contacted the BBB, and filed a complaint with them.
I guess it goes to say. It's worth a few extra bucks to get good customer service. Oh well Live and Learn! But STAY AWAY from MINTEK.
So far not bad..........2006-12-19
I received this dvd player as a gift yesterday. It's very conveniently compact and fit nicely in my purse. The unit didn't come with an owner's manual, just one sheet of information about the battery. It comes with a Lithium Ion rechargeable removable battery which, after fully charged, turns itself off (there is an indicator light). I happened to be taking a somewhat long train ride and tested it out... I got about 3 hrs of movie time before the low battery signal started flashing. I shut it off immediately because I didn't want to see what would happen if I totally drained it. The picture is decent and the sound is pretty good through headphones - not so great on its own. During my viewing the picture got stuck for about 5 seconds, the machine started making a weird noise, and then started again about 4 scenes ahead of where I had been.
It comes with a remote control - nice and slim, but honestly, not sure why I would need it since it's a 7" screen and I'm obviously very close to the screen so I can see it - meaning the controls on the unit itself are within reach.
All in all, for a first try, not bad. I'm crossing my fingers that it holds up for a long time and that my friend who bought it for me got a good deal with this one.

Horrible.......2007-04-15
broke after only one roadt trip. It worked great for that trip then we went to plug it back in and nothing the screen was broke. We took it back to Costco and they said that about 75% of them were being returned for various problems. Why can't they just make good long lasting dependable products anymore. That people can actually still afford. Or gaurantee there products with a longer warranty for free.
Extremely Versatile Player - Plays NTSC/PAL and Region Free Capable.......2006-07-12
I looked around for a portable DVD unit that would play multiple disk formats. This player fits the bill - according to its specs, it will play DVD+-RW, CD-R/RW, and Kodak Picture CDs. So far, I've only tested it on commercial DVDs and DVD-Rs, all which play fine.
Video quality is fine and audio via headphones is more than adequate. (Audio quality via the small onboard speakers is about on par with laptop speakers.) The player makes some noise spinning up a DVD upon first play and spinning down a DVD after a stop but there is virtually no noise during playback. Video and audio outputs are fairly minimal so it's not the ideal player if you plan on routinely hooking it up to your TV. Additional accessories are available including a component (RGB) video adaptor.
Most invaluable about this player, however, is that it can be made Region Free - i.e. you can change the region code to "0" so that it will play foreign DVDs. Go to videohelp.com to find the simple 5 step process you can follow using the included remote (no firmware update required). It will also play PAL-formatted DVDs as well as the U.S. NTSC standard. I can now play my DVDs from the U.K., as well as Australia.
Because it is so highly versatile, I highly recommend it if you are an avid DVD fan who views both U.S. and foreign DVDs. (Note, as of the time of this review, Costco is selling the unit for under $200, including a bonus accessory pack which includes a carrying case and 2 headphones).
Nice video but poor audio.......2006-03-21
Bought this for my son cos his toshiba SD-P 2600 broke. I like the picture but disappointed with the sound.
Pros: Big screen, nice picture. Plays most type of CDs.
Con: Audio. Sounds really bad.
A good deal........2006-03-05
I did a lot of research on portable dvd players, and this unit seemed to offer the most for the money. Just got it yesterday, but my wife and I am extremely impressed so far.

Versatle Video Player.......2007-09-09
I use this player for softball video playback. I have used both the SD card reader and the USB drive reader to playback video recordings to review with my softball players, it works great.
The SD reader also allows me to show digital pictures taken at family gatherings. Everyone with a digital camera uses it to show/review their pictures.
I have had the Mintek player for over a year and I have not had any problems with it.

For the money, this DVD player is fine, but it is definitely an entry-level player. I had bought a smaller Mintek (7") before that I was extremely pleased with. This player, although larger, is missing some of my favorite features present in the smaller player. My favorite feature in my old unit (which lasted for two years of extremely heavy use---say two hours daily) was the fast forward and fast backward. These multiply the speed each time you hit the FF or FB (first time is 2X, second time is 4X, etc.---all the way up to 32X). I had liked this because with the subtitles on, I could fast forward through boring parts of DVDs and still quickly read what, if anything, was going on. The fastest speed on this player has increased from 16X to 32X but you can no longer read the subtitles above 2X while the action is FF-ing so you no longer know what if you're missing something. Or you can FF really slowly at 2X. You have to watch the whole DVD.
This DVD player is part of a kit, coming with all accessories, cords, batteries, etc. so you only need to spend the purchase price. It comes with only one headset, though (instead of two headsets like the smaller version).
The picture quality is great, and I do enjoy the larger size screen. A small increment in screen size makes a HUGE difference!
Pretty much all of the functions of the player are on both the player and the remote. This is an improvement over the smaller version. As a side note, I have been using the remote from the old player on the new one, since it hasn't failed yet, with no problems.
This player seems as sturdy as the old one. It closes without a latch, just four silicone pads, two on the top and two on the bottom of the screen, but so far it hasn't fallen open. I'm pretty careful with it though, because my old one failed because of the many, many time I dropped it, especially the last time, which torqued the screen and almost separated it from the rest of the player.
You can't argue with the price, I just expected more and better, not less with a bigger screen. This wouldn't be a bad purchase, just not a great one.

Unreliable.......2006-12-01
I actually bought three of these units for 5x per year car trips for my 5 children. Two of the units still work, although the battery life is not long (2 movies tops, if that). The third unit broke -- the little button that shuts off the player if the unit is closed is permanently depressed, so it never plays. I am not having much luck with customer service. The phone number for the portable DVD player support is permanently busy. I've sent an e-mail, but not much luck. I didn't save my receipt, so not sure this thing will be worth fixing. I purchased at Costco, so a return -- even if I had the receipt -- is out the question.
Didn't even make it a year.......2006-09-16
Very disappointed in this movie player. It has failed after 9 months of occasional use. It says no disc. I can't find my sales receipt from when I bought it and their website says I need it even if I had registered it orginally.
Trying a different brand now, hope it lasts longer.
Unsatisfactory battery life and lousy customer service.......2006-09-13
I purchased a Mintek MDP-1815 portable DVD player on July 10, 2005. It was used somewhat infrequently, primarily on long car trips with my grandchildren. Occasionally, I loaned it to my daughter for her use with the grandchildren during their long car trips. It worked fine until about April 2006, when the battery [properly charged before the trip] "died" shortly after the grandchildren started watching a movie. During the next attempt to use the unit on a road trip [following an overnight charging], the unit played for one movie and then stopped function, even though it was plugged into the vehicle's 12-volt electrical outlet. I subsequently called Mintek on July 25, 2006 and talked to their Customer Service Department, at which time I told them that the unit's battery would not hold a charge and would not function in a vehicle, even when plugged into a 12-volt outlet. The customer service representative told me to send to Mintek the battery and a copy of the sales receipt, and they would send me a new battery. Having just moved from one state to another, I let a month lapse before sending the battery. I have now received a telephone call from Mintek telling me that they would not send a replacement battery, since I let "too much time lapse" before sending the defective battery to them. So their one-year warranty is being "strictly" adherred to, even though I had the problem start before the year had expired and was told by their representative that they would replace the defective battery. I feel like I gave them adequate justification to replace a defective product, but they do not stand behind their warranty. I will be returning the player to the store where it was purchased, and even if I do not get a refund the retailer will be aware that the Mintek product was sorely deficient. I will never buy another Mintek product.

Item arrived and screen did not work. Manual was completely useless. Called tech service at Mintek and voice mailbox was full so could not leave a message.

Great value, nice little DVD player!.......2007-08-24
*****
For the money, this DVD player is very nice---note that it is more than just a player---it is a kit! It comes with all accessories, cords, batteries, etc. so you only need to spend the purchase price. This was nice for me because I would have no idea which accessories to buy. It even comes with 2 headsets and a Y adapter!
Many functions run off of the player itself, and the rest off the remote. The fast forward and fast backward are only on the remote not the player, but the chapter forward and backward are on the player. I am satisfied with how things are set up. It is the first DVD player I've ever had, and I think it makes an excellent entry-level player. I really wanted to buy something sturdy but inexpensive, and this one fit the bill; I have heard other reviewers of other DVDs complain about what is on the remote and what is on the player, but I'm not picky.
One fun feature it has is the fast forward and backward multiply each time you hit it (first time is 2X, second time is 4X, etc.---all the way up to 16X). I like this because with the subtitles on, I can fast forward through boring parts of DVDs and still quickly read what, if anything, is going on.
It has many more features than I would ever use. The picture quality looks great to me. The battery life is supposed to be 3 hours, and so far, that seems about right.
I would recommend this DVD player kit for families with children (who will be hard on the player, so you wouldn't want to spend a fortune on it!) and entry-level purchasers.

Used for years, still clicking along..........2007-01-07
RELIABILITY
Purchased this in mid-2004 -- used for lots of car trips, airplane trips, and motels. Still works. This is quite a robust little DVD player, and a darn good buy.
Black screen problem -- it seemed to get a bit confused; turn it off, switch to the output type you want (onscreen is 'tft', a different display is 'video'). The black screen problem went away. Note, even when the screen is black, you can see the image in strong light, it's just that the light behind the screen is not on because it thinks you're watching a different TV.
It starting making clicking noises a couple of years ago as the disk spins around. Obviously, this is not a harbinger of doom, as it has still been running strong.
I had problems with it recognizing a disk, once. Turns out there was condensate on the lens, so I dried it and the problem was again resolved.
FEATURES
Pretty well listed everywhere else. Yes the image is good. Yes the sound is better through earphones. Battery life is 2.5 hours...still, after 2 years.
I hate to even give this 1 star - 5 Weeks to Fix It ??????.......2006-03-29
I purchased this as a gift. Christmas day we had to call Mintek. It seized up. The tech lady said "just take your finger and slide the optics back and forth a few times... that usually fixes it.." Well.. I'm no genius on laser optics and all the gearing involved, but that does not sound like a great "fix". I have been on the phone with these folks numbers of times. It continues to seize up, refuse to turn on and assorted other problems. Now I have sent it to them to replace. Mintek lady calls me and says they just received it and will send it back in (5) FIVE weeks. I yelled "put a new one in the mail and send it." No... evidently it comes in with a "Batch" and can only go out with a "Batch". Evidently Mintek only ships stuff out every 5 weeks of so. I have visions of young Chinese with their fingers on the optics sliding them back and forth....
Bottom line... If you have a choice. Choose something else!!!
Been there, done that.......2006-03-12
I don't have the space to explain all the places this thing has been. True it does pause on some titles, it does refuse to play on occasion. I bought it in Oct 03 before going to Afghanistan. While I was there I used it virtually everyday for 9 months. I brought it back home and used it in the car and house for 17 months with a 2-year-old constantly beating on it. Everytime I thought it was gone, it came back to life. Now I've spent 4 months in Iraq without a problem. Blow the dust out every once in a while and have patience. Maybe I just got lucky but I'd do it again.
On a final note, when the remote came up missing, the Mintek website still has the model predominantly listed and all the accessories are still available for replacement. I have a Kodak camera I bought last Christmas (2004) and I can barely find a mention of it on their site.
Seizes up and broken volume.......2005-05-08
I'm on my second one, after returning the first after 2 months. Both have seized up and quit running after an hour or 2 of use. The volume has also quit working after just 8 months of not much use. I do not recommend this unit.
