Mintek MDP-1770KIT 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Kit
Not reliable and terrible customer service via phone.
Like may others I did not have a very good experience with the Mintek. Calling customer service was a hassle because no one picks up. You will have better luck with email. I purchased my Mintek in at the end of May 2004 and by the first week of July the system crashed. The system wouldn't turn on and after numerous emails back and forth with customer service I was able to get the player going again. Then a week or so later the player blacks out again the system doesn't even start. I tried the same trouble shooting technique but this time the player doesn't start. More emails to Mintek's customer service division and still no luck. The DVD player sits in the corner of the room now because getting it shipped back and worth isn't worth what I paid for the player. At times the DVD player will work but after one uses it doesn't work anymore and then I have to let it sit in the corner and then try again. After my frustrating experience, I bought a Panasonic DVD-LS50 7 to replace the Mintek and so far I'm content with the Panasonic DVD-LS50 7. The Mintek is still sitting in the corner and occasionally it will start up but its not worth the hassle. Get a better system if you want a reliable player. Since I have another system to compare to I would have to say if the Mintek worked and lasted long enough it offers almost the same quality as the Panasonic but lacks reliability. If you want to make the risk then go for it but I wasted money by getting an unreliable system that is temperamental and starts only when it wants to. Spend more and get a better system.  <br /> <br /> <br />If anyone is wonder this system does play VCDs
