great dvd player but........
(4 out of 5) by steve on Mar 26, 2005i thoroughly enjoy this product and recommend it but after 11 months the on/off switch broke and i am unable to use it. called mintek customer service and they told me a technician would return my call in 24-48 hours. its been 24 hours and no one has called. dont know why you cant just call customer service and speak to a technician. any way, the picture quality is excellent and sound is good but think it could be a little bit better at times.

Best portable DVD ever!
(5 out of 5) by D. Greene on Aug 11, 2006 (NJ United States)This is the second portable DVD we have for our toddler. The first one was a blessing. It took a beating through airports, car trips, restaurants, and on the deck and it kept on playing! I purchased a different brand for our 2nd one, but returned it because the sound quality wasn't good. That's why I purchased our second Mintek DVD. It's durable, especially for a toddler, and the sound quality is terrific. It's well worth the price!

Great value, nice little DVD player!
(5 out of 5) by O. Brown on Mar 5, 2007 (Twopeas, WA)*****
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.
