This player did everything we wanted it to until it broke. After about 2.5 months of use, it started hanging while watching DVDs. We notified Mustek and tried their suggested fix (wiggle the lens). When the fix didn't work and we wanted to return the player for a replacement (about 2 weeks after first informing them of the problem), they informed us that the 90 day warranty had expired, despite us informing them of the problem (in writing) before the end of the warranty period. We've since been getting the run around from them.

I would not purchase another Mustek DVD player.

For the first three months, the portable DVD player worked good. On the fourth month in the car, while hanging in it's headrest bag, the player would stop and a white screen apprears and movie doesn't re-start unless the power was shut off/turned on. It would re-play, but if a slight bump from road happens, it stops. Then at home, if the screen was slightly re-positioned, it would stop. When I called Mustek, the customer service was lousy, all he could say was these only had a 90 day warranty, and could not offer a repair suggestion. Luckily I opted for a extended warranty when I bought it from Office Depot, and the customer service person said this was a common problem with this system (ribbon defect from monitor to case), and he would send me a store credit card to buy something else, as he didn't know of a repair solution. So, now I will search again for a DVD player that has better quality.

It's too bad these other reviews weren't up before I purchased this item. It's clear why they have a mere 90-day warranty...because this product lasts just shy of that! Ours broke (DVD wouldn't mount) after just a few uses. In spite of numerous attempts to reach Mustek, we were ultimately ignored. I have yet to find a portable DVD player that is really great. I am going to buy my son a video iPod for travel instead.

The product is designed to be sold but not to work for too long. Battery was only charging at very odd times, but we were ignoring this as otherwise the player was "digesting" all possible formats (media and files) even better than my stationary one, which made this DVD player really irreplaceable for long drives with kids, etc. Well... it did die shortly after ludicrous warranty period (90 days) expired. Technical support is non-existent as all they do is say that warranty is off and you are on your own... Now guess why resellers only carry this product with no refund option? Sorry Mustek... no more products from you for me...

This player has good resolution and excellent reliable play back of DVD movies.
The volume control is not loud enough to hear a movie while traveling in a car. When the volume is maxed out to high the road noise in a car overwhelms the playback making the words in a movie unable to hear.

I bought this item a few months ago while looking for something to use on long airplane flights.

I loved it--the battery life is fairly good for a portable DVD player (I usually get 4-6 hours from it). It is easy to use and it carries well. I have it strapped into the back of my car for when I carry my nieces and nephew around and it works great! The disc rarely (if ever!) skips and the quality of picture is good. It easily hooks to larger screens so that you can use it as your primary DVD player. I love it!

I bought this for the combination of features it contains.
The SD card reader was especially important to me, and it is next to useless. Viewing 3.0 MP pics from a digital camera, you don't even get what I would consider a good 'preview' mode.
I called Mustek tech support, and they agreed with me.

Other than that, it played DVD's just fine. Screen is an LCD, so you don't get much latitude on viewing angles. Looking straight on, you get a good picture. It comes with all the accessories you could possibly want. Case has two straps to go around a car head rest. You cannot change DVD's w/o taking it out of the case, but that may be common, not sure.

I bought this item because the website claimed it plays back in (AVImode) ,that is what i was looking for but it doesnt say you have to burn a disk off of your computer to play back AVI mode!!!!So i sent it back!!! The unit is a really "sweet" setup 4 the refurbished price... but i all ready have a portable DVD player!
Buying through AMAZON is a wonderful experince.... They are very helpful in everyway...so now i only buy through there site!!!!!!

I wish I would have read the above reviews before I purchased the MUSTEK. Buyer beware.
I suppose you get what you pay for. I encourage you not to waste your money on this unit.

Too bad when I bought it there wasn't any reviews. The picture quality is extremely bad. HD films doesn't look HD on it. The player shows signs of problem after a month bought. Films stopped suddenly for no apparent reason. The programing doesn't seem to respond to changes. WILL NEVER BUY FROM MUSTEK AGAIN!!!!!!1
