Summary: So Far So Great
Review: ...So far this thing is great. Good sound and picture quality. Like any small electronic stuff you need to NOT Let your kids touch it. even name brands are not kid proof! I am In the National Guard and am Being Deployed Overseas in Feburary I'm sure I'll get lots of use out of it . I will give another review on this thing in a couple of months.Remeber, and support all of our soldiers!

Summary: Worthless junk, bad service. Ripped off!
Review: After two months of moderate, gentle use, the picture tube died. It went completely black. Sent it to Mintek. After six weeks, they sent me a new one.

Within three weeks, the picture started to freeze on the NEW one. Then, the picture tube ALSO went black. Mind you, neither unit had been dropped, left in the sun, and were fully charged or running on house current. Sent this one to Mintek, too. Haven't heard from them in two months.

Summary: Junk - failed after 3 DVDs.
Review: Believe all these bad reviews. This is junk. Failed after 3rd DVD. Player returned. Will not buy Mintek again. The problem I think is the DVD laser transport gets stuck and fails to move, faulty mechanism.

Summary: What A Piece of Junk
Review: Got one for my birthday. Broken right out of the box. Returned it to my friend. Took six weeks for a replacement. Opened the box, still broken. Returned it to the Mintek company and that is the last I have seen of it. It has been three months of long distance phone calls to a company that really does not care. KEEP AWAY from a Mintek!!!

Summary: Not worth the purchase price
Review: I bought the Mintek through Amazon because I had planned a trip for the holidays and wanted to use it on the flight. The price seemed reasonable compared with other players. From the day I received the player it failed to work. Initially it loaded the DVD (the Godfather) but immediately began skipping. After about 15 minutes it froze and refused to play at all! When I turned it off and re-booted the disk it displayed "Loading" but froze and never loaded the disk. This occurred with every disk it put in. Mintek tech support was inept and useless and the user manual was no help. I returned the player for a refund. I recommend you stay away from Mintek products.

Summary: A worth-while buy
Review: I bought this DVD player at a local target while it was on sale for $200, and have loved it ever since. It playes my DVD's, MP3's, music CD's, and more. I have even burned my own VCD's, which, to my suprise, worked! I am a high-school student, and it has proven very usefull durring the long studyhalls, or boaring bus rides. I have used it for 30+ hours so far, and have had no problems. The best part is: it connects to your TV so you can use it just like a home DVD player. (it comes w/ a remote too:) I would definatly suggest this to anyone who is looking something to do durring the boaring parts of the day.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PLAYER!!!
Review: I bought this DVD player at Best Buy and it worked for a grand total of about 2 weeks. The picture quality and sound WERE great for a time, but now it wont play anything. I put in a DVD and the screen just stays black. I checked the manual for troubleshooting and found no answers, so i called our "friends" at the Mintek technical support center, and they did nothing to help. If you're looking for 2 weeks of cheap fun, buy this, but if you would like something that lasts, i suggest you look elsewhere.

Summary: junk
Review: I bought this dvd player yesterday and it didn't even work at all. Every time I put a disk in it would say loading and then give me an error message that the disk was the wrong region. This one is definately going back and I'm getting a refund from best buy today.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: beware
Review: i got this dvd player and while it is cool, when it works i have had to exchange it 4 times at the ft myers,fl. best buy store. I hate it when the people at the return counter know you by name because you are constantly returning the same product. I finally made them open the package and try three dvd's right there in the store
