I hate to even give this 1 star - 5 Weeks to Fix It ??????
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 ..

Been there, done that
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 c..

Seizes up and broken volume
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...

Screen goes Black
I enjoyed this DVD player for several months. I did not use it very often. After several months, though, the screen went black. This problem is a common one, as shown by the reviews here. I have contacted Mintek support, I don't hold out much hope. I would not waste money on this DVD player...

Works Wonderful
We have had our unit for almost a year and it works wonderful. The battery life is a little short, but we got an external battery that powers it for 10-12 hours. This has worked quite well on overseas flights which are 9+ hours. This is our second unit. The first one which has a square screen, i..

This item is great
If you are looking for a really inexpensive portable dvd player for a young child this one is really great. It is easy to operate and it has just enough features to allow them to use it alone. My son is four and he loves it! He takes it everywhere. This player has a good picture and quality soun..

Don't waste your time!
I'm on my second unit and it freezes playing when in the middle of a movie. Brand new unit out of the box. Second unit does the same as first. The whole Mintek product thing must be a scam. This one is less than 24 hours old and 15 minutes into the first dvd the same thing happened. It's going back ..

3rd times a charm
This has to be the worst DVD player on the market. I'm on my third player. The first two players just stopped playing DVD's out of nowhere. I've had the 3rd one for two days now. Would have gotten my money back on the first one, but I had already thrown out the packing material and could not get..

Don't waste your money
I bought this player for a trip I was taking last summer. It worked really good until we hit a patch of road in NY that was all torn up. We travelled across 100 miles of road construction and the player stopped working. It would make a horrible noise every time we would try to play a disk and wou..

Great price BAD player
I purchased this DVD player after reading the reviews for this and several other players. It was great plugged into the outlet at home the first time we used it. The sound and picture are wonderful. BUT, the car adaptor did not fit our vehicle (Subaru Outback). We charged the battery according t..

Holds up to my 4 year old's abuse.
I was a bit worried at first about buying this product after reading some of the negative feedback, but to ease my worries, I also bought a replacement plan from Target, in case it did break or quit working (3 years for $19.99 was worth it to me).
I've had it about a month and it's been used every ..

A Nightmare
We bought ours on sale to take on a four hour car trip with a 5 year old. It worked for 1 hour, we then had to deal with a cranky child that wanted to know why he could not watch the movies we told him he could watch. Then 2 days later was the return trip. We will be looking for a name brand to re..

Screen did not last for 1 movie. Junk!
I purchased the unit to entertain 3 young boys on a 7-hour ride in a minivan. After about an hour of play (the 1st hour of use) the screen started to scroll vertical lines. It would start to play again after powering it off and back on. It kept getting worse until it would not play for more than a..

Three to Five?
Ms. Smorowski, who rated this player as a 1 star (seemingly because 0 star was unavailable), is very hostile about this machine. She advises the potential buyer to look to the good v bad reviews, and states that the good ones are new owners. How this is terribly pertinent, I am unsure. If the pla..

loaded (including A/V input) and works fine (so far)
If you buy this, buy the Mintek 1770 Kit, also sold here at Amazon. With the new rebate, you get the kit for the same price, but in addition to the player, you also get the case, car power adapter, headphones and audio splitter. My kids have been using this player for 2 months, including one very ..

One Minus
I bought this DVD player so that I could watch movies when I went to Europe. The specs are a bit mis leading since I can play DVDS on a PAL TV but they are in black and white. So really the dvd player can't play on PAL dvds in color. If I am wrong...PLEASE correct me. I would love to watch my dv..
