1.0 out of 5 stars DVD5 defective out of the box, July 13, 2000

The Harman Kardon 800 customer service line has a wait, well, I can't count that high, and I received no email reply back with the info I need to make an informed purchase, but I went and bought the DVD5 anyway, and right out of the box, it is defective. The carousel tray opens and closes all on it's own, over and over again, it just keeps on doing it, and skipping to the next track on the disk, and the only way to stop this is to turn the deck off, not with the remote control, as the deck will turn itself on again and the carousel door will just strat to open and close by itself, again, and again, and again, and again, so you must turn it off with the power switch on the deck. Harman Kardon, you disappointed an almost life long loyal customer on this one, and on you poor, I mean, lack of customer service, on the phone and via email.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of [garbage], September 2, 2000

I won this DVD player off of a sweepstakes and the day it was sent to me, it worked great... for 5 minutes. It began having troubles reading discs and would continously try to read them unsuccessfully. The tray then jammed and would not open, holding hostage 5 of my best DVDs. I brought it in for repair under warranty, and they couldn't even diagnose and fix the problem and said that they found it worked great. It worked when I brought it home, this time for about an hour. I am in the process of sending it back for repair.

1.0 out of 5 stars An expensive paper weight, November 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Harman Kardon DVD5 5-Disc DVD Player (Electronics)

I've owned this player for about two years and at first I loved it but just recently I started having problems with it. Long story short the power supply died and I'm not going to pay to ship it across the U.S. to C.A. to the only certified repair shop in North America. I had DVD's stuck inside so I just removed the 7 or so screws and removed the cover. I was able to remove my DVD's and I then proceeded to smash the insides with my foot out of pure frustration. As seen in the movie Office Space :) DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM!!!
