2 out of 5 stars False Advertising.......2007-07-09

Just purchased GPX's PDL 805 to play Region 1 and 2 DVDs. The product description specifies it will play both NTSC and PAL. It DOES NOT. I tried to get technical support from the seller (no luck) AND from the maker - GPX.com. GPX's technical support told me it will play European DVDs only when ... hooked up to a PAL TV! Needless to say I didn't get a portable DVD player to keep it connected to a TV. What a bunch of nonsense. Don't buy it if you want to play PAL DVDs.

1 out of 5 stars Unreliable.......2006-12-01

I actually bought three of these units for 5x per year car trips for my 5 children. Two of the units still work, although the battery life is not long (2 movies tops, if that). The third unit broke -- the little button that shuts off the player if the unit is closed is permanently depressed, so it never plays. I am not having much luck with customer service. The phone number for the portable DVD player support is permanently busy. I've sent an e-mail, but not much luck. I didn't save my receipt, so not sure this thing will be worth fixing. I purchased at Costco, so a return -- even if I had the receipt -- is out the question.

2 out of 5 stars Didn't even make it a year.......2006-09-16

Very disappointed in this movie player. It has failed after 9 months of occasional use. It says no disc. I can't find my sales receipt from when I bought it and their website says I need it even if I had registered it orginally.

Trying a different brand now, hope it lasts longer.

1 out of 5 stars Unsatisfactory battery life and lousy customer service.......2006-09-13

I purchased a Mintek MDP-1815 portable DVD player on July 10, 2005. It was used somewhat infrequently, primarily on long car trips with my grandchildren. Occasionally, I loaned it to my daughter for her use with the grandchildren during their long car trips. It worked fine until about April 2006, when the battery [properly charged before the trip] "died" shortly after the grandchildren started watching a movie. During the next attempt to use the unit on a road trip [following an overnight charging], the unit played for one movie and then stopped function, even though it was plugged into the vehicle's 12-volt electrical outlet. I subsequently called Mintek on July 25, 2006 and talked to their Customer Service Department, at which time I told them that the unit's battery would not hold a charge and would not function in a vehicle, even when plugged into a 12-volt outlet. The customer service representative told me to send to Mintek the battery and a copy of the sales receipt, and they would send me a new battery. Having just moved from one state to another, I let a month lapse before sending the battery. I have now received a telephone call from Mintek telling me that they would not send a replacement battery, since I let "too much time lapse" before sending the defective battery to them. So their one-year warranty is being "strictly" adherred to, even though I had the problem start before the year had expired and was told by their representative that they would replace the defective battery. I feel like I gave them adequate justification to replace a defective product, but they do not stand behind their warranty. I will be returning the player to the store where it was purchased, and even if I do not get a refund the retailer will be aware that the Mintek product was sorely deficient. I will never buy another Mintek product.

For the money, this DVD player is fine, but it is definitely an entry-level player. I had bought a smaller Mintek (7") before that I was extremely pleased with. This player, although larger, is missing some of my favorite features present in the smaller player. My favorite feature in my old unit (which lasted for two years of extremely heavy use---say two hours daily) was the fast forward and fast backward. These multiply the speed each time you hit the FF or FB (first time is 2X, second time is 4X, etc.---all the way up to 32X). I had liked this because with the subtitles on, I could fast forward through boring parts of DVDs and still quickly read what, if anything, was going on. The fastest speed on this player has increased from 16X to 32X but you can no longer read the subtitles above 2X while the action is FF-ing so you no longer know what if you're missing something. Or you can FF really slowly at 2X. You have to watch the whole DVD.

This DVD player is part of a kit, coming with all accessories, cords, batteries, etc. so you only need to spend the purchase price. It comes with only one headset, though (instead of two headsets like the smaller version).

The picture quality is great, and I do enjoy the larger size screen. A small increment in screen size makes a HUGE difference!

Pretty much all of the functions of the player are on both the player and the remote. This is an improvement over the smaller version. As a side note, I have been using the remote from the old player on the new one, since it hasn't failed yet, with no problems.

This player seems as sturdy as the old one. It closes without a latch, just four silicone pads, two on the top and two on the bottom of the screen, but so far it hasn't fallen open. I'm pretty careful with it though, because my old one failed because of the many, many time I dropped it, especially the last time, which torqued the screen and almost separated it from the rest of the player.

You can't argue with the price, I just expected more and better, not less with a bigger screen. This wouldn't be a bad purchase, just not a great one.

I use this player for softball video playback. I have used both the SD card reader and the USB drive reader to playback video recordings to review with my softball players, it works great.

The SD reader also allows me to show digital pictures taken at family gatherings. Everyone with a digital camera uses it to show/review their pictures.

I have had the Mintek player for over a year and I have not had any problems with it.

          Audiovox D1501 5.8" Portable DVD Player

          Product Description

          Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.PRODUCT FEATURES:Portable DVD Player;16:9 Aspect Ratio;3 Hour Battery;DTS, Q - Surround Sound;Complete Cabling with Cigarette Lighter Adapter;Full Featured Wireless Remote;Plays DVD, SVCD, VCD, CD and MP3.

          Amazon.com Product Description

          Audiovox's affordable and portable D1501 features a 5.8-inch, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio LCD and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs. Take your favorite movies and music on the plane, on the bus, or even in the car for the kids--a supplied adapter lets you power the unit right from your dashboard cigarette lighter, and the unit sports two separate headphone jacks for tandem viewing. The unit also includes a full-function remote control for hassle-free operation in tight quarters.

          Composite-video and stereo analog-audio inputs and outputs let you hook the player up to your other audio/video gear for viewing on your TV or--as with video games--through the D1501's own screen. All audio and video inputs and outputs are of the minijack .125-inch size, so compatible adapter cables are required (one stereo analog audio and one composite-video cable and one AV cable are supplied).

          The included rechargeable NiMH battery pack provides up to three hours of playback (power consumption depends on the operations of the player, such as screen brightness, volume level, etc.). The battery pack features high storage capacity and low susceptibility to degradation, as the NiMH batteries don't have a "memory effect," making it safe to recharge them regardless of whether they're fully or only partially spent. Generally, the batteries need about five hours for complete charging.

          Playback options include frame-by-frame slow motion, zoom, and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included.

          What's in the Box
          DVD player, AC to DC adapter, remote control with battery, instruction manual, 1 audio cable, 1 video cable, 1 audio/video cable, cigarette lighter adapter, and rechargeable NiMH battery.

          3 out of 5 stars Trouble with Reading Instructions etc.......2007-01-26

          Today I received this COBY portable DVD player. It is probably a good player of dvds; however I will never know; the INSTRUCTIONS Manual and all other material is printed in TINY PRINT. I cannot read the instructions to set up the player. [Like almost every other material sent out today the tiny size for printing is everywhere.] I expect I will have to return the dvd player because of this cheap printing system. YES, a small booklet is so much cheaper than a normal sized booklet! [The printing is around 4-point instead of the much larger 12-point normally printed.]

          2 out of 5 stars Broke After 2 Years of Light Usage.......2006-05-17

          We purchased this DVD player for our son to use when we travel. It worked fine for about 2 years and just suddenly stopped reading discs. It has not been mistreated or used excessively, so there is no explanation for the malfunction. We will either repair it (if cost-effective) or, more likely, look for something else that will last a reasonable amount of time.

          1 out of 5 stars I Bought Two - and they BOTH came with dead batteries.......2005-09-02

          Purchased two in August 2005. The manufacture date label reads Feb 2005, so they're reasonably new. The batteries won't take a charge. Both are dead as doornails right out of the box. This jibes with my (after the fact) product research that shows common battery failures. I bought them on impulse, on sale, at a big-box retailer At Which I Aim to shop a lot. I will be returning them next trip there.

          1 out of 5 stars Bought, Returned, Bought, Returned-Garbage.......2005-02-28

          Let me be brief. I bought this unti 2X because of price and both units froze up and broke within a month. It became fuzzy and grey as well as made a buzzing noise. Units were History. I will never buy an audiovox system again.

          5 out of 5 stars Can't find anything to complain about .......2004-11-24

          This little player survived a trip to Alaska in the hands of an active 7 year old as well as a busy summer being jostled and handled with sticky, muddy fingers. It was a welcome relief for him (and his parents) when he needed some down time! The picture and sound were/are terrific. It works great with or without headphones. We let some friends borrow it for a car ride from Illinois to Colorado with their 9 year old and they said it was a "Godsend". So, in our experience this player has survived quite a bit of traveling by plane, in backpacks, on boats (yes, in the sea air), in cars, being on floors, handled by dirty hands, held upside down, held on laps, on bean bags, ect and it still works great! For the price I expected to get one trip out of it! I would recommend this player to anyone!
