I bought two of these DVD players and neither remote ever worked – I wanted to write an update on my initial review. The customer service team for Laser reached out to me and with apologies sent me two replacement remote controls.. I was completely chuffed and couldn't be happier.. It's taken me far too long to rectify my initial review.. But life just gets in the way of absolutely everything.. Been so busy… Read more

surviving.. I would highly recommend this DVD player. The new remotes are perfect.. I thank the Lazer customer service team very, very much..

I purchased two if these DVD players, one for my frien who became very ill and was bed ridden. And one for myself and neither remote controlled ever worked. My friend couldn't get up to use the controls manually and I have just nearly thrown mine across the living room. Unbelievable. And luckily my friend doesn't need to worry about his anymore because he died. But mine is still p.ssing me right off...

Wonderful BLURAY Player – I know there may be lemons out here, but there are also good players as well. I have never had any problems with mine. Plays all my region 2 very well and all my HB cartoons. Took on holidays to Broadbeach many times. Just remember for every bad one sold, a good one has been sold as well. Show details

Doesnt work – The laser company doesn’t understand what the term ‘eject’ means. Several times, customers have returned this to our retailer due to the player not ejecting the DVD, so once you put in a film, grab your hammer to bash the thing wide open because that’s the only way to get your disc back. Show details

Dont Bother – We have purchased 2 of these the older model and the current , the older one BD3000 became really noisy and wouldn't play DVD's or BLU Ray unless they were cleaned every time. The quality of the picture when it played was okay but because of the noise and its inconsistencies we purchased the latest model after 1 week of use it simply would not… Read more

play a DVD at all even a new one, then it stopped playing BluRay Discs as well, so i returned to Sanity who we purchased it form and are just tolerating the old one until it bombs. Its a pity because the picture they produce is really good but no point when they really are a disposable item. Just buy a better one.

Crappy DVD Player – This DVD player is rubbish. It does work but most DVDs have problems running and/or jitter when played so it skips half the movie. It can play videos from USBs, but only supports weird formats. If you are tight for money I would say this is the dvd player for you but if you have at least $100 I would recommend buying a "Brand" DVD Player.  Show details

Blue Ray player – I bought my Blue Ray player in November last year and the Blue Ray is no longer playing, Absolutely Crap, NEVER BUY this Brand again, if it was a cheap buy, well you get what you pay for? So disappointed, Now I have to pay for another player, I'm a Pensioner with very little money to spare.  Show details

Annoying in every way possible – Why does this thing make such a loud noise?! I have to turn the TV up to drown it out! On top of everything else annoying about it that noise made me hate the thing. It didn't come with a HDMI cable in the box! (another trip back to Officeworks). The remote is tiny and flimsy and hard to read the writing is so small. It took forever to 'setup' and… Read more

what a frustrating process that was to sort out the audio settings. The writing on the instructions is so small I could hardly read that! Its slow to open and close. Its annoying in every possible way - save that it actually plays dvds. I'm getting a refund. How on earth did this become Australia's No. 1 selling dvd player? Good grief

Bad Quality, Noisy, – It makes a loud noise that is very annoying and the navigation screen is annoying and hard to use. It didn't come with a hdmi cable which meant I couldn't use it straight away and the instructions are hard to understand. I will be returning this dvd player as I am not satisfied with it at all.  Show details

Misleading advertising – Purchased this player as it is promoted as playing all regions, wrong it does not! Tried to get a refund from Kogan but no go as they say that is not a fault, well to me it is misleading advertising. Don't buy this player if you want a multi region player.  Show details

Great – This device works great, I have had it for months with it being used everyday. Never had an issue only downside is it doesn't have a play button on the actual box so if the remote is miss placed you need to search for it other than that it's great.  Show details

Spend the extra $50 – I’ve gone through 3 of these in the space of 6 months. It has stopped working again but I cannot be bothered sending it back as I’ve spent around $40 in postage and I may as well put $100 towards a reputable brand. If you buy one make sure you buy it from a store and not online so you won’t be stuck paying postage.  Show details

burring noise and terrible buttons/functions – The same as other users. After only about 5 dvd's it makes a very loud burring/knocking sound. it was placed on top of a table and never moved. Also, the remote control is a complete mystery. So hard to see the functions and to know what they do. Can't seem to operate without the remote. returning for refund. it pays to keep ALL receipts.  Show details

Buyer Beware – This so-called DVD player is sitting uselessly atop my TV. It comes complete with a one page user manual with miniscule writing, a plastic toy-like midget sized plastic remote with lots of unreadable buttons and nothing else. There is no HDMI cable to connect supposed Player to the TV. What sort of crappy, cynical, penny pinching business would… Read more

treat the buying public with such blatant indifference?.

It is like buying a new car. But it doesn't come with wheels

Noisy DVD Player – I have purchased Laser DVD players in the past and they used to be decent long lasting DVD players which were value for money. However my recent purchase of Laser DVD-HD008 DVD player had to be returned to the store as it was making an irritating noise when playback of DVD's began, This noise did cease after a few minutes of playback. But it… Read more

was so irritating and kept occurring repeatedly.

The remote control for the Laser DVD Players have tiny print and minuscule buttons which are very hard to use and you need to have excellent vision to use them.

The picture quality of Laser DVD Players is also poor, If you view any older television programs or movies with a Philips brand DVD player there will be noticeably less picture noise. I believe this because the Laser DVD players lack Upscaling of video to 1080HD resolution.

This Laser DVD player was so bad I returned this DVD player to the store for a refund, the replacement Laser DVD player was just as bad. Another replacement also had the same problem. After several replacements and a long struggle I finally managed to persuade Harvey Norman to give me a refund.

The quality of Laser DVD Players has gone down to such a point they are now not worth buying.

Easy to set up and works perfectly – Purchased from Harvey Norman at a cost of $34. Does not come with any cables but I had the old Yellow, Red and White cables from the DVD player it was replacing and they worked perfectly. So easy to set up, three plugs into the DVD, three plugs into the TV and turn it on. As simple as that. The quality of the picture is excellent for what I watch and I would recommend this product.  Show details

Does not do as advertised – Does not play all region codes as I purchased for and as advertised. Would not recommend this for playing your imported DVD's. only has AV connections no HDMI. Cheap and that's what you get, RUBBISH. This is why Dick Smith went ass up as the product were junk and should never have been allowed into the country, as most other junk from China.  Show details

Remote control – I brought my Laser DVD-HD008 payer at big W in dubbo nsw not long ago.. My grandson hooked it all up. Then a couple of weeks later we decided to play a dvd an could not find the remote so we couldn't watch it. So I am trying to find out where I can buy a new one, it's very hard I can tell you.........  Show details

Excellent for the price – Bought it this week and found price for such specifications is unbelievable, given it plays all regions disc. Quality in performance is average and cannot compare with Pioneer (I have 2 models for more than 10 years) . The output sound (6/10 star) level is too low and picture quality is acceptable (6/10). Price (10/10) Will not hesitate to recommend for the price paid. Great achievement by Laser.  Show details

This dvd is pretty good for the price you pay – Player is great, for the price you pay its great value. But please be careful when purchasing, I bought one off BIG W and the dvd player didn't work and looked tampered with. It has reasonable functions and it runs of HDMI which saves costs as well. As mentioned great value for money.  Show details

Cute, Compact And a Great Price! – I bought this little DVD player from Big W for $30! Perfect for the kids room and works like a charm. Was so excited that I'm only realising now that you can use an HDMI cable to connect to tv and don't need to worry about all the other wires! Plays all regions of DVD's which is awesome because a lot of our DVD's are from Canada. Also has a USB option which is handy for popping quick movie on for kids! Win win. :)
