 Extremely Versatile Player - NTSC/PAL and Region Free Capable July 12, 2006

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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /Because it is so highly versatile, I highly recommend it if you are an avid DVD watcher 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).
Great for traveling with a family July 25, 2006

This portable DVD was originally bought for a train trip and it worked great! We were in rooms not coach so the entire family was able to watch and the screen size was plenty large enough to see every thing clearly. What I especially liked was that the screen is still able to be seen from oblique angles. I was afraid that it would be like my laptop and be hard to see unless you are directly infront of it but that isn't the case at all.
br /
br /The sound works well through the dual head phones and actually works surprisingly well through the speaker as well. We we able to hear the movies on the train through the speaker. Depending on the DVD sometimes it could actually get very loud.
br /
br /Like the other reviewer I suggest checking out Costco to get this player, so that you can get the pack with a bag and two earphones for less that $200. The bag, I especially liked. It is a very good bag with plenty of storage.
We buy every MINTEK Portable DVD unit we can locate! December 5, 2008

5 years ago Christmas my husband gave me a Mintek portable dvd player. I had always been a videophile, but the 1991 auto accident rearranged my spine and the chronic pain allows for little restful sleep. I order my dvds online and have them Fed-Xed here to the house.
br /
br /I watch videos back to back --videos were stacked everywhere!!! Dylan decided we needed a new home to the physical therapy apparatus and the then-over 20,000 dvds in our collection...We had planned to rebuild many many times anyway so this was the perfect opportunity!!!! Right after that, we made the decision to build and after much thought, the tv, stereo, dvds, dvd player---they have their own room. The dvds have shelves all the way around from floor to ceiling. That little dvd player lasted about 3 years of very very heavy use, so we bought 2 the next time. One of them still plays. And it is what I would call OLD!!!!!!!!!!
br /
br /This household has a total of 14 children now and each hsd child one............I signed on just now to purchase for myself two more to have "just in case" and I want 3 as Christmas gifts. My sister gave me an Audivox last Christmas--it died Christmas Day. She replaced it the next day, and it croaked immediately. I spoke with the same area representative/manager of Audiovox and he was about ready to give me the Company lol.
br /
br /I have seen and heard other portable dvd players but I just don't think any compare to the Mintek. My second choice would be the Sony, third the Panasonic......I was crushed when Mintek went out of production; that's why I literally went into a "buying frenzy" and stocked up on all that I could find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Absolutely no support January 4, 2007

It appears to work fine except possibly the AV output. It has a password in the setup that is not documented anywhere. When I tried to find out about these problems online and by phone - there was no answer (the phone mailbox is full and won't let you even leave a message). I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Double Disappointment May 13, 2007

I have bought 2 Mintek DVD players, and now, shame on me. The first one worked pretty well for a while and got a lot of use. It then started to get touchy. If it is bumped in the slightest, it thinks that the DVD door opens, and the DVD starts over again. This is terrible for travel or kids.
br /I bought another one, thinking that it was a good machine other than that, but it has acted up from the beginning. It actually won't play some discs (that will play on the first machine). Other discs just freeze and skip and are unwatchable (but, again, they play fine on other machines).
br /I'm very frustrated with both machines that I bought. I cannot have had the bad luck to have bought two lemons! Just beware when buying this product.
br /I gave 2 stars only because the sound and picture are good (when they work!!), otherwise I'd have given one star.
