Let down by no slow advance operation.

published

This Laser BD3000 has some problems. The remote is small and difficult to operate. The on screen display is very hard to use. There is NO slow advance. In other players you can press pause and then hold the fast forward button down for a few seconds and the picture plays forward or back at half speed. This is very useful if you are reviewing a football match and want to see all the action in slow motion BUT this BD3000 player does NOT have this feature. The machine is of NO use to me and I have wasted my money by buying the thing.

Update I payed 125.00 dollars for this Laser BD3000 and I have just found that our local Harvey-Norman has them for 95.00 dollars so it appears that with all the faults that this machine has the seller Kogan also ripped me off.

not bad for the price, remote lets it down

published

Bought for the multi region blu-ray and was very frustrated as my example did not do this out of the box. While a firmware update fixed this, i'm sure many out there would not think to try this and simply return it out of frustration. The remote seems very very picky about how its pointed at the unit, and the buttons feel pretty average. Playback however worked fine, with minimal vibration/noise from the unit except a small burst when initially starting. For the price, its not bad, but its most definitely a budget unit.

No longer region free for blu ray

published

I bought this to play blu ray movies that are unavailable in Australia because of the number of sites that described it as region free for blu ray. This might have been true in the past but it is no longer. There is no blu-ray region option available in Settings as there once was. The machine works well otherwise but is not at all high end.

Laser blu ray player

published

excellent units, 2 friend have purchased & recommend, i purchased & found fantastic, true multi region player, small great price, 3-YEAR WARRANTY... wbat else has that.... the write ups about made-in-China... what isn't?? write ups about several units not working... like to know your real stories.... i now have a spare sitting in the box in a cupboard.... if there's any criticism, there's some vibration on blu ray playback occasionally & the start of discs... possibly as the units are so small & light & the play technology quite advanced... readily available, good value, highly recommended...

Perfect

published

I read a lot of negative reviews here, don't know why, I have 3 of the Laser BD3000, never had any issues except 1 time a disc would not eject, just turned the power off and on again and no issues that was 2 years ago.
I love the fact it is a true region free Blu-Ray player and will buy another one for my dad today

Does what it says it's supposed to do

published

Bought Jun '17, Easy setup, Simple Menus, Been using since then without any issues.
Played all DVD / BD discs that have been viewed without problems, no undue noise, picture quality is VG.
Not a weighty unit by any means so would have to agree that it is probably made to a price, but what isn't these days.

Purchased in June 2021.

Cheap crap

published

Purchased in February 2021 at The Good Guys Physical store for A$88.00.

Don't touch it.

published

It's cheap. It's rubbish. Door wont open second time I used it. Only thing going for it is that it's multi-region but not a lot of good if you can't use it. Better to push the boat out and buy a better brand. Most of these are made in China anyway.

Piece of Junk

published

Brand new unit broke down after a week and just a few DVD's. The problem? The unit would no longer power up.
It is supposed to have a Sony made optical pick-up, but allegedly the other components are no-name rubbish for it to fail so quickly. Not good enough Laser, this player is NOT of merchantable quality.

disappointing

published

I bought two of these players because they are multi region,cheap and had good reviews.One of the players worked at first and then it didn't power on.It was brand new at the time but the power cord was very loose, took it back and swapped for another.With the second player after about 6 months the picture started shaking.When comparing image quality and colour to something even as old as a Playstation 3,which has noticeably clearer picture and much more vivid colour, the laser is considerably less sharp and the colour is much more washed out.Not worth it even if they are cheap.

Surprisingly very good

Laser Blu-Ray Player - Multi Region - BLU-BD3000
Got this from JB Hi-Fi they priced matched bigw price $69.00
Surprisingly very good
Overall a steel for what I paid. This is even better than all brand names it plays blue rays disk that the brand names reject. And best of all multi region I can now watch dvds from the UK and USA. I do think that all the other brands should do the same.

A friend of mine to one back to the uk and not for sale in the uk
The down side is some video formats will not play
And no apps for Netflix etc
Over all a great buy

Vibrates too loud

published

The player vibrates louder then my TV on max, fair enough playing a Blu-ray but a DVD, shakes half my house. Plays just fine, shame to the picture is great but no point watching anything on it, all customers service lines I've searched for are unavailable, going in my bin.

Plays Multiregion / zone Blu-Ray and DVDs out of the box

published

Plays different zone Blu-Ray discs (have tested a couple of Zone A locked US Blu-Rays) with a simple change in the menu (General Settings -> Security Tab then select region A, B or C).
Of course, you may need to set it back to Zone B when required to watch AU / NZ / UK / EU etc discs as it isnt automatic i.e. like for DVDs
DVD regions don't need to be set as it appears to be automatic.
The user interface isn't as slick as other "name" brands like Pioneer, Samsung, etc. and doesnt have 3rd party apps like Netflix, but more than good enough for what it does.

Haven't tested the USB or DLNA functionality yet either so cant comment on file compatibility.

Questions & Answers

Josh

Joshasked

We have plugged the BluRay player into a TV with an already existing DVD player built in and whilst the movie is playing the remote controls seem to go crazy. You try turning up the volume on the TV remote and it skips to the next scene in the movie. Try fast forwarding on the DVD remote and it changes the channel on the tv. Any ways the we can fix this issue?

I had exactly the same problem. The two remote-control units are using the same digital code for quite different functions. Basically, the manufacturers of the BD3000 player should have chosen different codes from those commonly used for television sets. There is no way to fix this problem permanently. The only way I could get around this problem was to get up and hold a piece of cardboard in front of the DVD player whilst using the TV remote control, or in front of the remote-control sensor on the TV whilst using the DVD remote control.
But in the end, I gave up and bought a Sony DVD player, and everything works fine. I learnt a lesson here: Stick to the well-known and reputable brands.

I cannot remember if I have had this problem before or not. But I can say that if you just turn it off, it doesn't really go off completely, and the memory of its status before you turned it off is still there when you turn it back on again. So the only thing I can think of is to disconnect the power supply for few minutes so that the memory is cleared, then reconnect the power.

leave the printer turned on and switch the computer off for 2 minutes and then turn the computer on again. I think that this will reset the computer to printer connection. You may have to stop and start the computer 2 or 3 times doing this. You could also try taking the inks out and put them in again.

Hi Michael. My Laser BD3000 was not a good machine and I have not used it at all. I bought another brand of DVD player and I am using that. I bought a Sony BDP-S1200. It is an older Blu-Ray Disk/DVD Player but even so it is much better than the BD3000. I have found that you really have to buy a good brand of player like Sony to get something decent in DVD players. I was ripped off with the BD3000 it is cheap Chinese junk.
