The laser lens could be dirty. Try using a reliable CD/DVD lens cleaner kit like the Belkin CD DVD cleaning Kit but if that does not work the player could be defective or already broken. I would shop for a better-name brand player on eBay so that I won't spend too much on another player.
An universal remote will work, but the codes may not be available. That can be a complication as you need to go through the remote programming procedure manually.
Kay what happens with some players is that they are only bulit to play a certain kind of disc. It also may be because the player is old. If you buy a new player it will be able to play all DVD's that you put in it.
20839 is the DirecTV & Access HD universal remote code for Mintek, Shinsonic, & US Logic. None of which brands are listed in my Yamaha RAV283 remote code list (uses 4-digit codes).
20717 is also listed for Mintek by DirecTV. Other brands with the same code on DirecTV remote are: Apex, Blaupunkt, GE, Greenhill, Initial, KLH, Nesa, & RCA.
Of those brands, only Apex & RCA are listed in my Yamaha remote's list. I tried all of the codes for those 2 brands under types DVD, DVD Recorder, DVD/VCR, & TV/DVD. None worked. It appears to me that only those 3 brands for 20839 share the same remote code settings. If your remote doesn't support any of those 3, I doubt you will be able to use that particular remote with the Mintek DVD-1600.
I hope my research helps someone with this, as it was unfruitful for myself. Good Luck!
Its sounds like cpu/memory problem.
the laptop can't play dvd while doing other things.
Try to play dvd while all other application are close, if it doesn't freeze its a cpu/memory problem (inwhich case why should try to buy more memory)
