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.
Not Just Junk-Worthless Junk 2006-12-21
This was the worst item I ever paid over $200 for. Maybe got 20 hours of use-at most. Mintek Digital did not back their product. I cannot believe that the positive reviews did not come from employees or shills for the company. Sent the unit to be fixed. Told me it couldn't be fixed and I should buy a new one or pay $10.00 to get this unit back. I recommend all users contact the Attorney General in their state to file a complaint about this worthless product and company.
No Problems for the last 2 Years 
2006-12-16
I purchased this product over 2 years ago and have used it quite often in that time. Initially, we used it in the car utilizing the headphone splitter so our two daughters could watch movies during our longer car drives. No problems whatsoever. After we upgraded our car to an SUV which included a built in DVD player, I began to use the player on my business trips which occur nearly every week. I packed this player in my suitcase every week for over a year and have had no problems. We have utilized the ability to send the video signal to a project about a dozen times, including my wife's parents anniversary party out of state and it has worked flawlessly every time. Once in a while I will have to re-insert the DVD before the player "sees" it but this is no big inconvenience. I also play various types of media, including DVD -R and CD's. It is bizarre that so many reviews include such real problems.
WORST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE 2006-11-27
I bought 2 mintek dvd players because I got such a "great" deal at kohl's department store. I ended up getting each one for about $150, which was a great price compared to the original price. Within the first 3 months I had the same spinning of the disk and "no disk" message come up when there was a disk in it. I immediately returned the one to Kohl's. I kept the other one, to my dismay. I had a hunch I should of returned it. Sure enough, after the 90 day warranty, it began having the EXACT same problems, definitely a MINTEK problem. I have emailed, made phone calls..several times with absolutely no human contact or response. This company needs to be reported because they sell JUNK and back it up with absolutely NOTHING. I figured I was already out a bunch of money, I just wanted to get it fixed so it was usuable...Can't reach anyone to do that. There is a reason you can't find anyone...they know their products are WORTHLESS!!!. DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM MINTEK ..WORST MISTAKE YOU WILL EVER MAKE..AND TAKE A LOT OF YOUR MONEY WITH IT....
Great picture, poor audio 
2006-08-15
I recieved the MPD-1770 as a Gift, in Dec, 2005 and the unit was rareley used, except on short trips, Two weeks ago I bought a new DVD and decided to play it in the 1770. The picture plays fine, I don't have any audio, I can't reach Mintek or find anybody in the city where I live to repair it. I thought this was a reputable company, now I am wondering if they really stand behind their products. I really like the design just wish it had been more reliable. I'm glad that I didn't spend my hard earned money on such an unreliable product.
Great portable DVD player 2007-11-30
This portable DVD player has been great for both travel (car) & home use and we've used it for almost 3 years. Both adults & kids have used it heavily & the only thing that has broken is the splitter for the headphones. Easy to use.
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.
