Title: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Jul 22, 2002 at 12:18 PM
I went to quiapo last week to check out the Sosing which I am intending to buy (even if i already have promac dvd2002 and sast aep816).

unfortunately, and i could not believe it myself, wala halos nagbebenta ng GENERIC BRAND CHINA MADE DVD PLAYERS! this started when the great BRevilla went to quiapo to clean up the trade of our muslim brethren.

meron ngayon doon pero it is sold not in any of the raon electronic mall, but by the chinese reds, which PERSONALLY I DO NOT LIKE TO BUY FROM. not only are they technically "bobo" with these equipment, i am SURE that in case of defects, they cannot replace or entertain repairs at all.

the chinese reds are selling CJC, Starfast, Roxshin brands. One particular store, the one on the left corner at the second floor of the mall where Jolibee occupies the third floor, even has, get this: PHIILIPS brand!!!! pero, susmaryosep naman, HALATANG PEKENG PHILIPS.

price ranges from 4,700 to 5,500 depende sa brand (as if these generic china players have any differences to merit change of price!!!!)

Anyway, until i find SOSING, which i think is one step "better" than the SAST AEP816 (since it has all the qualities of SAST, including built in dts decoder, plus the ability to play discs that SAST CANNOT read!), i might have to put my intent to purchase on hold.

just a report to all. in short: thanks to the great BRevilla, hindi lang discs ang nilampaso niya, pati na rin retailers of dvd players.

asahan niyong dadami ulit ang kidnappings and holdups now that a lot of people who have been in this trade have gone jobless.

Why would they hide the generic DVD players? These are not pirated naman right? I think BRevilla only has the right to confiscate pirated DVDs but not DVD players:)

If you find a place that sell sosing send me a PM. I might get one for myself as well:)

I thiink they've transferred to the Virra Mall in Greenhills, I was there last thursday, and by Gosh....it indeed was a buyer's market for DVDs...may they be players or otherwise. ;) ;D
The talk nowadays is that , the Kapitan did create a diversionary tactic at Quiapo to revitallize the market in San Juan...opps ...Greenhills ;) ;D :o :o

MAY I BE ALLOWED TO REPHRASE THAT VERY TACTLESS AND IMPOLITE PARAGRAPH.

What i really wanted to express (and had to express it swiftly since i was on the verge of consuming my remaining internet prepaid hours) was that it is frustrating sometimes to buy from the Chinese Reds the DVD Players because they as well as their "untrained" salesladies, do not seem to really know what FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES these players have. All they know is "this brand cost this much, while this brand costs this much"  Of course, when you ask them if they will repair it in case of breakdown during the warranty period (ranges from a month to six), still it seems logically "unconvincing" that they will really be able to service these equipment they sell basing the fact that in the first place, they are "unaware" of what capabilities their various branded players can offer.

im glad though that the second floor, rearmost store that has lots of AHHOO speakers/vcd players streamers strewn all over his stall was MAN ENOUGH to admit that in case of breakdown, HE CANNOT SERVICE IT AND THAT I MUST GO SCOUT FOR MY OWN TECHNICIAN. IN FACT, HE IS NOT GIVING ANY WARRANTY TO ANY BRAND OF EQUIPMENT HE SELLS.

That might sound like a big "turn off" to buy from him. But heck, lets give him much credit for at least being HONEST.

sincerely,

bestbuy88

PS: i went there again today, and ang brand ngayon na nagkakalat is SAMWON (4,700 - 4,800), ATECS (5,000 pero pangit aesthetically), TAMAYASHI (another aesthetically pangit) and guess what... PROMAC DVD PLAYERS IN THREE NEW MODELS: DVD-2003, 2004 (YATA) PLUS ONE MORE I FORGOT. The cheapest Promac (dvd-2003) goes for 5,100 and most expensive (and bulky chasis too, not slim as SAST) demand 6,000pesos (personally, thats not a good priced unit)

Conclusion: There are two stores selling NEXTBASE dvd players. It comes in silver/aluminum finish (my preference) and the champagne gold (too trying hard to look like pioneer but obviously not). Cost 5,000pesos. Why did i say this unit seems interesting? it is the only "brand" that at least you can go search in www.yahoo.com and get results. Meaning, mas may "name" na siguro, although what you can see in the net search's result in NOT the nextbase dvd player being sold in quiapo (model DVD-9000). What yields in the net search is NextBase's PORTABLE SLEEK DVD PLAYER. hmmmm...... thats seems interesting indeed.  The logo appearing on the Portable DVD player that will appear in yahoo.com's search is EXACTLY THE SAME LOGO DESIGN you see in the quiapo electronics mall.

In fact, it is so far the ONLY generic brand i have noticed that really has its own design. Kasi brands like ATECS and TAMAYASHI are EXACTLY THE SAME TO THE LAST DETAIL, nagbago lang sa CHAPA. So with Samwon and some hard to pronounce brand that i have forgtten.

NEXTBASE, YOU ARE MY NEXT TARGET!

Hi bestbuy88,

If you're still interested in the Sosing DVD-S2888, you might want to check out the pier mall in Manila (the one near the rotunda). I'd like to believe that the merchants there would still have stocks of the Sosing's since I saw a considerable number of units being sold when bought mine about a month and a half ago.

Title: short review: NEXTBASE
Post by: bestbuy88 on Jul 23, 2002 at 06:51 PM
hi,

i was again along quiapo this afternoon (as if i wasnt going there intentionally!! ahahahaa), and guess what, i saw a stall inside the RAON ELECTRONIC MALL attaching a NEXTBASE DVD-9000 player to their SMALL 14" MONO sharp TV set, colored.

they were playing Collateral Damage, clear copy.

well, i could not resist but try one feature that will let me decide easier whether to pursue NEXTBASE and probably forget SOSING for a while.

Feature i was looking to confirm; DTS BUILT IN DECODER.

politely, i asked the saleslady how much, 5,000daw no tawad na, after small chitchats... kunwari wala akong alam sa dvd gadgets, i asked if i may see/look at the REMOTE CONTROL.

she handed it to me, and kunwari, i was pindot pindot on it na walang malisya, when i chanced upon the key AUDIO (which, if it was Promac would be "language" counterpart) to determine if DTS decoder was built it.

I pressed AUDIO BUTTON, AND THE screen displayed "AC3-5.1" on the upper left corner of the monitor.

again i pressed it when the display disappeared, and again it showed "AC3-5.1" notice as the audio set up currently on play.

disappointed that the DTS did not seemed built in, i thought why not pressed the AUDIO KEY simultaneously, baka sakaling mag shift to DTS??

Well, thats what i did......

.... and guess what happened?

tobe continued tomorrow. naubusan na ako ng internet time!!!

ahahaahahhaa....

bitin!!

hi Racio,

so you own a Sosing? well how is it so far? do you also own other brand of dvd player? if you do, what are the models/brands you own and how does Sosing stack up?

am i right that indeed, like sast aep816, the sosing HAS built in dts decoder?

am i right that Sosing is good/verygood/excellent player kasi it plays ALL KINDS of discs, at hindi masyadong namimili ng bala? o, meron ka ring mga discs that are unplayable? if you do, what kind and titles did the sosing failed to read/play?

thanks in advance for your feedbak on sosing, my once "crowned" prince of the generics!!!

Hi bestbuy88,

Among the generic brands, I started w/ the SAST AEP-816, then a Sosing DVD-S2888, and lastly a Xenon DVD-810D. All of the said DVD players feature a DD5.1/DTS decoder. However, since I often utilize my receiver’s DAC and bypass the player’s, I can’t absolutely confirm that their decoders work w/o any hitches.

Aside from the odd “vibrating” operation of the Sosing’s, there’s nothin’ much else (yet) to gripe about. Actually, before I bought the Xenon, the Sosing was my final “test bench”, if you will, in the sense that if ever I want to check a recently purchased bootleg's playability, I’d usually end up playin’ the disk on the Sosing. Because recently, I noticed that my SAST has been freezing on a number of P-types that I’ve bought, but some would eventually run w/o hiccups on the Sosing. (My kids btw, love watching those newly released movies again and again, most especially right after seeing ‘em on the big screen.) So if I’d come across disks that still won’t play on the Sosing, then back to the Abus they go.  :-\

It was primarily due to this particular SAST quirk that brought about my purchase of the Xenon (my kids wouldn’t let go of their beloved Sosing). At a glance, you’d think the Xenon is an exact replica of the Sosing. It'd even play the disks the Sosing's would but the SAST won't. But closer inspection and further fiddling would reveal that the Xenons are of slightly higher quality. Heck, they come w/ a 1 year warranty and backed up by Pioneer (well, that’s what I’ve been told).  ::)

The SAST is undeniably the prettier of the three. They look like the new model Philips (Q-something) recently came out w/. But its sensitivity, or lack thereof, to its remote controller is quite frustrating. For my unit, I’d have to come real close to the player in order for it to detect a signal from its remote.

So, in my humble opinion, among the three mentioned, the most bang for your valued dough is the Sosing (got it at P5T from that pier mall), then the Xenon (P6.5T at Western), and lastly the SAST (P5.9T from the Abus a few months back).  :)

Again, I don’t want to discount the possibility that I might just have “lemon” samples to begin w/, so please take what I wrote here w/ a li’l grain of salt.

Cheers then,

-continuation of the "pindot pindot remote"

well, i thought "why not press the AUDIO KEY simultaneously, instead of hitting it with a pause? perhaps that will change the set up to switch from 5.1 to DTS, IF THE NEXTBASE INDEED HAS A DTS DECODER BUILT IN.

then again, the disc playing was a P type....so the "chances" that it will show DTS might not be that good for me to have a confirmation.

but hey, what the heck, i got the remote on my hands and so JUST CLICK IT AWAY!

so thats what i did; pressed the AUDIO KEY simultaneously......

then...

..... the screen FROZE!

for around 2 seconds.....

....and then......

to be continued... sumakit lang po tiyan ko. gotta answer the call of nature.

sowee!! :o

Post by: bestbuy88 on Jul 26, 2002 at 03:33 AM
(cont)

so i did simultaneously pressed the AUDIO key to try if there was DTS built in decoder. though half of me has resigned since the disc being played might not be a DTS encoded film afterall.

well, what did ou think? when i first pressed the AUDIO key, again the "AC3/5.1" logo came out on the upper left hand of the screen, but since i pressed it simultaneously......the screen suddenly froze, for around 2 seconds, and then it continued to play.... this time.... THE DTS LOGO/NOTICE APPEARING ON THE UPPER LEFT HAND SIDE ALREADY!

IT HAS DTS DECODER BUILT IN INDEED!!! CONFIRMED!!!

I immediately glanced at the players flourescent panel, hoping to see the small DTS words light up, just like the SAST would do when DTS is enabled. WELL, THE DTS MARK APPEARED LIGHTED INDEED IN THE FLOURESCENT DISPLAY!!!

YEHEY!!!

But a minor quirk: remember that this was installed to a small SAHRP tv, colored, MONO set up. Thus, when DTS was enabled, I DONT KNOW WHY BUT NO SOUND CAME OUT FROM THE TV SET! I would like to think that since only ONE audio cable was hooked to the monitor, siguro, DTS uses a diffferent frequency whatsoever, kaya the MONO TV could not handle it anyway so no audio came out. I hope I am right in m theroization.

(Yet how come when playbacked in AC#/5.1, meron naman audio? hmmm.....)

anyway, i am 80% convinced that at 5,000pesos, nextase SEEMS to be the new crowned prince of the generic players. simply because SOSING is nowhere to be found in Raon Electronic Mall.

And, i hope the salesman (owner) is honest when he said that after sales service is not a problem, kasi MERON LOCAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER, HINDI ITO TULAD DAW NG SAMWON OR ATECS NA WALANG SERVICE CENTER.

I failed/did not ask which or who is the service center. Baka magalit na ang owner kasi kulit ko eh wa naman akong perang dala to buy it yet.

Pera. babalikan ko iyan. for sure.

ehehehehe....

Conclusion: magpindot ng magpindot lalo na kung di mo pa binili.  Oh by the way, the back audio/video jacks seemed many. SEEMED lang kasi di ko talaga nasilip kasi it was placed inside their stall and nakakahiya na to ask them to "please make a quarter turn" request to them para lang makita ko ang likuran ng player. ehehehe...

you can find the NEXTBASE DVD PLAYER at the mall called RAON ELECTRONIC MALL, along quezon avenue.

if from espana ust going to quiapo, after the underpass, its on your RIGHT SIDE. if you see the CHOWKING RESTO, that is the mall already.

proceed through the corridor of chowking going into the mall, you will see on your right side a stall selling cellular phones. take a look at the stall immediately to your left naman, corner store, puro vcd players patong patong. meron silang display glass stand and in it nandoon various dvd players for sale. MAKIKITA MO ANG NEXTBASE on the left side display area.

5,000pesos daw, tapat na. pero i doubt. siguro 4,500? ehehehe..

when i buy it soon, i will give thorough review, complete with macrovision infos, quirks.

but, b4 i buy im bringing with me all the discs that my promac/sast cannot read. IF THE NEXTBASE CANT READ IT TOO, then i am not buying it.

Instead, i will head the suggestion of a member to go to port area and check that place. i havent been there at all.

sincerely,

Dear Charot Santos,
      It seems your Nextbase has a DTS  Pass thru...and  not a decoder, however to confirm you'll have to attach the 5.1 analog out to a receiver that has..and if the DTS sundtrack has been chosen and sound gets emitted via your analog 5.1 set-up then indeed you have a DTS decoder on board your DVD player.
     Do try to keep in mind that DTS is purely digital and to have an on-board processor simply means it has converted the digital signals within the player itself...thus becuase of the magnitude of the bit size it can only pass thru the appropirate channels that can accomodate them..in this case a separate 5.1 output..thus no sound can pass the 2 channels that we usually connect to.
    Kindly relay our info to Bestbuy88...and Ms. Charot...welcome to PinoyDVD. ;)

Post by: Philander on Jul 26, 2002 at 11:35 PM
I was in Raon this afternoon, I saw the Nextbase DVD player and the DTS logo in the chassis is "DTS- Digital Out" and Not "DTS- Digital Surround". Thus I agree with Alfie about the DTS feature of this player. It doesnt seem to produce onboard DTS sound.  As for Bestbuy experience, it does not produce a single sound when switch to DTS, for we all know that a DVD player will produce DTS sound in analog audio outputs when it has DTS decoder on board.

Furthermore I was not impressed in the physical appearance of the NEXTBASE, I still prefer Xenon and SAST in terms of features and apperance.

Why not try the Philips DVD player, progressive scan, DTS and DOLBY DIGITAL onboard, also MP3 and a picture CD for at about P 13,XXX.XX only?


:-) just a suggestion
Title: I BOUGHT IT
Post by: bestbuy88 on Jul 27, 2002 at 05:05 AM
well yesterday afternoon, i finally bought the NEXTBASE dvd-9000 in quiapo for 5,000pesos.

this is a short initial report of what i saw after installing it in my room.

but before that, my impression with regards to philander's posting:

1. yups, sast aep-816 remains to be the sleekest among the china made players, rivaling only PHILIPS which is the design i think it "copied" from.

2. aesthetically, nextbase is not pangit naman. it is maganda na rin actually, compared lets say to MASTAR, SAMWON.  No contest ang mga Atecs, even Promac is not as "beautiful" as NextBase, in my honest opinion. Of course medyo subjective na. But suffice to say, hindi mukhang generic ang design ng chasis. At least, hindi TABINGI ang logo ng Nextbase, di tulad ng lahat ng ATECS. ahahhaha....

(ipagtanggol ba naman ang nextbase? ahahhhaha)

now for the report:

1. the remote control is color black, not like promac which is white. sast is greyish. my impression is people with eyesight problem might not like the remote control design of nextbase (from this on, NB na lang ang type ko, haba kasi ahahahaha) because THE WORDS PRINTED ABOVE THE KEYS ARE SO SMALL AND PRINTED IN VERY LIGHT WHITE COLOR!!! I HAVE TO REALLY MOVE THE REMOTE CONTROL CLOSE TO MY EYES BEFORE I CAN SEE WHAT COMMAND TO PUSH. Advice: wrap it in plastic supot otherwise, constant use might BURA the prints and if you arent adept, baka makalimot mo ang functions ng key na iyon.

2. NO DING SOUND DURING EJECT. I kinda miss that bigla, having been used to it in both sast and promac. ahahaha...

3. Power button on chasis; power on/off button also in remote to put it on standby. during standby, a small red led is lit, similar to promac.  I wonder why sast did not incorporate such feature.

4. no karaoke control to make higher/lower pitch. there are mic1 and mic2 input jack and mic1/mic2 volume control though on the chasis. promac dvd2002 has karaoke full function key up/down kasi.

5. the cd tray to put the dvd disc seems a bit "wide" that when you put a disc on the tray, feeling mo parang "ay, tama na ba ang pasok ko? parang lawlaw?" pero actually its also "good" kasi you dont have to really put the disc perfectly fitted in the tray (which is the case on promac and sast)

6. plays all region. plays pal disc in full color and sound to a dedicated ntsc tv. that is my current set up and tested to work perfectly.

7. MACROVISION TO BE TESTED TONGIHT SO PLEASE WAIT FOR IT.

8. DTS MAY KONTING WEIRDNESS. to be discussed on a separate posting. suffice to say, my NB is attached to my stereo 21" samsung using the provided yellow/red/white audio/video jacks. When i place a DTS disc (behind enemy lines), and hit the audio button to switch from the default AC#/5.1 sound to DTS, NO SOUND COMES OUT FROM THE SPEAKERS OF MY SAMSUNG TV.  I DONT KNOW WHY.  I wonder aloud kasi if i installed my SAST into my samsung tv, and hit DTS audio, THERE IS SOUND COMING OUT AND THE SOUND IS DIFFERENT PA NGA FROM THAT IN SAST'S NORMAL 5.1 AUDIO OUTPUT.  I will discuss this further kasi it has something to do with the SETUP/AUDIO control of the NB's user setup interface (which btw is NOT the same at all from promac or sast; iba ang NB setup on screen display, the nearest i can think it appears to be  the same are from that of PIONEER BRANDS)

And finally, also the best feature of all..........

....IT PLAYED ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL THE DISCS THAT BOTH SAST AND PROMAC DID NOT PLAY. ALLLLLLLL!!!! KAYA STARTING LAST NIGHT, WALA NA AKONG DVD NA NAKALAGAY SA KAHON KASI DATI, ALL UNREADABLE DISCS I BOUGHT, KINAKAHON KO NA LANG. PERO LAST NIGHT, NILABAS KO LAHAT NG NASA KAHON AND LAHAT TUMUGTOG SA NB!!!! YIPEEEE!!!!!!

NEEDLESS TO SAY, NB ALSO PLAYED ALL THE DISCS THAT PROMAC AND SAST COULD READ.

SO, AS OF NOW, I THINK I HAVE TO REPOLISH THE CROWN I ONCE BESTOWED UPON SOSING DVD PLAYER, AND I HAVE TO FIND A MEAN TO SNATCH IT SO I MIGHT/CAN CROWN NEXTBASE DVD9000 AS THE "NEW" KING OF THE GENERIC PLAYERS!!!!

sincerely,

bestbuy88
july 26,2002

CONCLUSION PALA: RECOMMENDED. (i will have to do further tests, particularly the DTS audio and macrovision before i can revised my current "recommended" position to "highly recommended")

hi best buy!

i am new here & i was actually browsing through the threads for the past week.

well i was influenced by your feedback with respect to the NextBase DVD player & i actually bought my first DVD player, the NextBase, just last Sunday. :)

the player was aesthetically Ok to look at., not like the other China made players. :)

i have some DVDs already purchased which i was viewing using my PC. however not all can be read by my PC thats why i decided to buy a DVD player na. the discs were DVD 9 (pdiscs nga lang). well, i tried viewing it using my NB player but somehow some cant still be read (also 1 disc which can be read by my PC pero ayaw sa NB) :(. sayang kasi medyo di ko pa rin talaga napapanood yung mga discs.  meron pa kaya kailangan sa setup?  help naman....

thanks!

Post by: bestbuy88 on Jul 30, 2002 at 04:46 AM
louie,

personally, i will not try to influence your decision because you are choosing between two very good players, sast and nextbase.

however, be forewarned that the sast will be a choosier player since not all the discs i own can be viewed with the sast; but all my discs now can be played with nextbase.

sast's edge over nextbase might be the "better" dts built in encoder, AESTHETICALLY CLASSY, slimmer chasis (but hot internally as proven by holding the disc after you eject). Cons might be inavailability of a local authorized service center (pa rin yata)

nextbase's edge will/might be the playability of most, if not all (kasi sabi ni iceman he is having problems pa rin) discs, a bulkier chasis that does not cause the disc to be really hot but rather just lukewarm to touch after viewing, THE ALLEGED availability of local service center (and two retailers in virramall one of which is nintendo electronics, told me that PIONEER IS THE SERVICE CENTER FOR NEXTBASE, as well as their inhouse brand "elecom").

i leave that to you to decide.

iceman,

well siguro the disc itself has problem? if i might be correct, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DVD REGION 9 IN TERMS OF THE INTERNATIONAL DVD REGION CODING. HANGGANG REGION 8 LANG. that is why, to me, i do not understand why people buy DVD9 when in fact, it does not seem to be "better" in my honest opinion than an ALL REGION type of disc.  If i have to find a "reason/culprit" it might have to be that the NB player does not recognize a region higher than 8. It might sound illogical, but heck, baka thats the reason! di ba? ehehehe...

i suggest you to bring that region 9 disc to other people who have players of different brand and try if it plays. if not, then have to double consolation that the NB is not (yet) a lemon brand, as well as confirming that the disc itself is a problematic one.

sincerely,

bestbuy88 (worried that i have influenced iceman and it seemed my review did "harm" than "good" to him. apologies extended. BTW, you should have BROUGHT your problematic discs AND TRIED IT AT THE STORE BEFORE YOU BOUGHT IT.

well siguro the disc itself has problem? if i might be correct, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DVD REGION 9 IN TERMS OF THE INTERNATIONAL DVD REGION CODING. HANGGANG REGION 8 LANG. that is why, to me, i do not understand why people buy DVD9 when in fact, it does not seem to be "better" in my honest opinion than an ALL REGION type of disc.  If i have to find a "reason/culprit" it might have to be that the NB player does not recognize a region higher than 8. It might sound illogical, but heck, baka thats the reason! di ba? ehehehe...



I think that they in reality they meant DVD9 dual layer and not region 9.Region 8 as far as I know is for airplanes.Hmm?tama ba? :) The Pirates like to call it region 9, maybe they are considered a whole different region by themselves. So bagong term is Region 9 pirated disc. ;D ;D ;D

tama si elf.  yung DVD 9 ay yung dual layer ata for the p discs.

bestbuy,
no need to apologize kung na-influence mo ako.  oks pa rin naman siya overall. :) wala na kasi akong makita na sast o sosing na players e. :( pero do you know if may limitation nga itong NB player? yung isang DVD 9 na disc nagru-run sa JVC na player so i assume walang diperensya yung disc. yung isa naman nagru-run sa PC pero hindi sa NB. dahil kaya dual layer na pdisc yung mga ito.

hows the NB review coming? i'm still interested kasi. medyo expert ka na rin ako bago pa lang. :)

thanks!

Post by: Alfie on Aug 01, 2002 at 05:21 PM
KB14  DTS is an Audio Digital Format that carries a lot more bit rate than the usual way digital sound is being generated.  Simply put...it's a way of presenting Digital sound as perceived during the actual presentation of a movie. It's has a totally different capacity than the usual Dolby Digital 5.1 format that often accompanies the DVD currently available in the market.
Having a bigger memory need does not neccessarily turns a movie  better. At times the usual Dolby Digital comes off better.
It is a prerequisite for a DTS track to have a DVD player that can process it to pass thru(otherwise your player wont play or just hung)....since it has a larger memory base, aside from that you'll be needing an instrument called an amplifier that will process this digital bits into the sound that makes them as perceptably natural as possible. Some DVD players have claimed that they have an on board DTS processor...however..it simply means that sounds coming in from a DTS track can be processed and turned analog right there in the player and audio will become perceptable even if you'll utilized the lowly RCA analog connectors..but the sad fact is...your'e really back to the stereo mode..maybe much louder version since an on board processor had converted it into such.
I hope it's quite clear by now..however, if I did confused you more and another set of questions are begging to be answered ...let me then lead you to..another thread aptly titled DTS vs. DD 5.1 can be found in the Audio  thread. Lastly KB14...just in case that this will be your first DVD player..may I suggest that you consider a branded player with a known track record and reliable service center...such as some Japanese (Pioneer,Kenwood) and European (Philips) made brands. You'll be surprised that this DVD players are quite cheap and might be only a few pesos higher than the present China Based branded DVD players your'e eyeing. Kindly browse thru the Pioneer, Philips and other related threads such as the Sony,Pioneer, or Philips thread that's currently buried here in this Sources forum. Better to exercise patience and contemplate well... before buying any electronic equipment nowadays, since you can as well conclude from most of the posts shared here..there are indeed a lot of lemons out there.

hi guys,

just confirming:

NEXTBASE DVD-9000 has disabled macrovision therefore you CAN record directly to a vhs tape in full stereo and video. no problemos at all.

equipment used in this test were:

1. nextbase dvd player
2. region 1 wonder boys dvd
3. philips six head stereo vhs recorder (sori 4got the exact model ehehhee...)
4. TDK blank vhs T-180

Hope this info help esp those who are still lurking in search for the ultimate dvd.

so far, NB has been keeping up its expectations i seek.

ONE QUIRK:

I have this pdisc All the President's Men which did not play in sast, samsung dvd905 nor promac dvd-2000. IT STILL WONT PLAY WITH THE NB. I strongly suspect it is the disc's problem though. ehehehe.... sayang what a great movie pa naman!

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: Alfie on Aug 02, 2002 at 01:09 PM
what specs and features do i should look for in a player?

KB14  Basically this are the only things I look for;
1) Multiregion- So that Title choices are not limited.
2) Internal PAL/NTSC convertor- let me also answer here the question you posted in the Pioneer thread...NTSC and PAL/SECAM are broadcast signals that are being transmitted to your Television set in order that an image be produced. They have different names since they differ in the Image frame  per time difference(not sure which is which one is 4.5 other is 5...to the techies help ??? ) anyway...since they differ...Television(or a VHS/VCD/DVD player) with a PAL format cannot interpret finely an NTSC broadcast and vice versa...hence the picture quality will be distorted to become either black and white with wavy and annoying lines.
Now an Internal converter is a first among DVD players...in fact some DVD players have Internal convertors that translate a PAL signal to a NTSC even in specifically made NTSC Televisions, hence you wont need any Multisytem TVs in order to enjoy titles coming from countries like the United Kingdom or Saudi Arabia whose main signals are of the PAL format.
3) Autovolt-this is self explanatory
4) With 5.1 audio output- this is an analog output...it's better to have one available just in case you'll try to go cheap and utilized those utilitarian amplifiers being sold in Raon(really temptingly cheap)
5) Dolby Digital 5.1 and better if DTS decoder is included- The reason explains #4...since I believe that if you have an on board decoder for DD 5.1 and DTS...one should utilize the specified analog out(if you do not have the digital amps and decided to utilized the Utilitarian type of amplifiers) and not revert back to the usual 2 channel stereo.(if not why the heck did you choose the DTS track ??? :o )
6) with S-Video out- for clarity ,component out is just a bonus since you'll be needing a TV with a component inputs too,,,hence an added expense.

Lastly, try to forget about the 96/24 audio capabilty, SACD,DVD Audio and the progressive scan( again to answer your question...briefly...it works so hard to remove lines, inasmuch that the picture quality becomes film like...that's progressive scan..but is it really that good??? check out your computer monitor..no lines right..that's proigressive...however...TV's are interlaced hence you'll need a Digital TV which costs around PHp 89,000 cheapest to really appreciate this) since your primary objective is to first experince the far out qualities of the DVD player and the above mentioned capabilities are for those who have hobbies other than just enjoying the full capabiliites of the DVD player.....since if you'll really be fair about it...it's really a lot and to fully appreciate it and make the most of your purchase..I believe..you should have a dedicated player. ;) ;D

p.s. I bumped the progressive scan thread for you it's in the General Forum under  Home theater  ;) ;D

Nescafe_Frothe  Nirvblakr gave the directions in the Generics thread....anyway...for simplicities sake....go straight ahead till you reacjh RAON, the corner Mall that houses the Chow King I believe is the Raon Center Mall...and as Nirvblakr posted it's the 1st stall that sells numerous VCD and DVD players.
I wouldn't worry if I were you...give them 2 more days and all the stalls will probably be selling their players for Php4,000.00...considering that your nearest competitor for a unit is the Quiapo based Abus who seemingly has abandoned the concept of having a workhorse DVD for testing their discs.
It's currently a buyers market out there for DVD players.

nescafe,

1. i got my unit from WATSON PHOTO SUPPLY which is across the side entrance of SM Manila/Quiapo Carriedo branch. i got it at 4,800pesos. I was told to keep the receipt for a six month warranty.  Watson Photo Supply has a good reputation in their trade, so i am sure when he says six months, he means it.

2. although Watson Photo supply did not specifically mentioned "any pioneer service center" as authorized service center for the nextbase, he did mentioned that after sales support for the unit is available because there exist a local service center for that brand.

it was when i went shopping at virra mall in greenhills last sunday, walked along second floor and saw NINTENDO selling the nextbase (at 4,850) and their "in house" brand ELECOM, who told me that both units/brands were serviced by PIONEER service centers nationwide. In fact they even explicitly posted their claim in the poster you will see hanged atop these players they sell.

gud luck. so far so good pa rin ang NB. only "all the president's men" pdisc has not played, but neither did it played in promac dvd2002 and sast aep816.

KB14  I'm so sorry I cannot help you decide here... I have to be frank with you... due to the Macrovision (Copyright protection) incorporated in the Pioneer brands I shy away from them...furthermore the Pioneer brands do not really appeal to me (ask Nirvblakr..I tried to make him shy away from getting the 533k) since my observation is that they're overpriced and prone to overheating....but this are just my prejudicial comments to this brand and should be taken with a grain of salt since I never did own any Pioneer DVD....my observations were based on the DVD players of my favorite Abus(a 533k and 355) and mostly the posts of various members here in this community.
Lastly...I cannot really comment on the 535K...I have not seen it.  ??? ;) :)

If you are in the Quiapo church side, just walk a little further along Quezon Avenue going to Recto.  You will see an overpass where people cross Quezon Avenue.  That street on your left where the people go down is Gil Puyat St. or Raon.  On the corner of Quezon Avenue and Gil Puyat St, there is an electronic shopping complex there named Raon Electronic Center.  At the first corner store (you don't have to go inside the center) you will see a stall with DVD and VCD players on top of each other.  That's the place!

Hope you don't get lost after I gave a graphic direction of the place!  ;D Good Luck and let us know!

rrr,

i cannot make a comparison since i do not own a Xenon. i have seen it, but i have not been able to tinker with it.

i can only comment on the NextBase DVD-9000 and so far, it has the advantage over both Promac DVD-2002 and SAST AEP-816 in that the NB can play all discs i have owned so far (except for All the President's Men).  the NB played all the discs that were not read by promac and sast.

the NB allows you to watch a PAL disc from a dedicated NTSC TV without any problems.

those have been the major plus points why i strongly recommend the NB over both promac dvd-2002 and sast aep816.

playing dvd discs on it also did not cause the disc to be as hot as that if placed on the SAST.

sincerely,

nextbuy. este bestbuy (nahawa na rin)

I think an internal DTS decoder would be of great use if you have at least a Dolby Prologic receiver with 5.1 channel inputs.  But a DTS track downmixed to 2 channels (as in connected direct to a TV) wouldn't be as gratifying for the effects will only drown the dialogues.

Just my half cent....

Sa palagay ko wala. Kasi nakalagay sa logo nya 'dts digital out' in the chassis. At sabi ni bestbuy88, he did not hear a thing when he swicthed the audio to dts. Care to verify Mr. Bestbuy88? Thanks.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: nerveblocker on Aug 10, 2002 at 12:35 PM
IMHO, if a player has dts digital out in the chassis, it is just a DTS pass through and you need an external decoder from a receiver to decode DTS but if it says dts surround on the chassis then it most probably has the internal decoder.

bestbuy,

remember i complained last time that the nextbase player i bought can't play all of my dvds. well, last week my player wasnt able to play most of my dvds. hirap niyang basahin yung iba, para lang mabasa i need to open & close the disc tray a couple of times before the player can read the discs.  i tried playing my discs sa PC then nagplay naman siya so i suspect na talagang meron sira yung player na nabili ko.

so yesterday balik ko yung player ko dala yung iba kong discs na di naple-play. try namin yung discs ko sa bagong stock nilang nextbase at nagplay naman. so they replaced my unit with a new one. and now i am agreeing that nextbase can play all of the discs without any problems.

sa ghills ko nga pala nabili yung unit ko. they are now selling it at P4798 but of course they can give it to you at a lower cost after you haggle. nung sa akin binaba nila ng mga 200 pesos,selling price nila 3 wks ago P4980, all units have 6mos warranty.
Title: iceman
Post by: bestbuy88 on Aug 20, 2002 at 08:18 AM
sa nintendo mo iyan nabili, the same store selling the ELECOM brand allegedly repairable by any pioneer service center.

anyway, good thing that the store allowed you to have the unit changed. except for the still unconfirmed DTS DECODING due to my inavailability for speakers for home theater AND the unreadability of my "all the president's men" dvd disc, i dare say that Nextbase has yet to fail me with my recent purchases of dvd movies.

some have mentioned buying this unit at raon/quiapo electronic mall for as low as 4,400 yata, in earlier postings. medyo nakaka irita nga to know i spent 4,800 for it. but knowing it performs so well, comapred to other "generic" branded players like the new set of Promac's makes me feel that the money i spent was worth it naman.

enjoy your nextbase, and keep on using it so that any quirks that might come out will appear during the guaranty period pa rin.

Enjoy!!

Post by: rrr on Aug 20, 2002 at 11:23 AM
hello bestbuy,

I wish we can confirm if the nextbase hs a built in dts decoder.  Maybe if some one with a dts only dvd can try it out on a nextbase?

It maybe that a dts decoder (plus warranty insurance) may account for the price difference between the nextbase and the xenon. don't get me wrong.. If it is confirmed that the nextbase has a dts decoder i will seriously think of buying one even if I already have a xenon.

so the quest continues for a 5k or below player with a dts decoder that plays all disks. The xenon may have a dts decoder but does not play god(p)ather and (p)enhur.

I wonder if we can hold a generic dvd player face/off at some neutral ground so we can find out the generic player to rule them all?


On the other hand, baka naman there is no such thing as the perfect generic player or perfect anything for that matter. I think its the search for it that counts most.

Just came from Virramall Greenhills and tested various
China made DVD players.

There are actually 2 models of the Nextbase dvd9000
available, an old version and a new one.
 The one in Nintendo Commercial is the newer
model. Though it has surround audio outputs at the
back of the unit, it was not able to produce the dts
sound from my p_ten commandment disc. so from
our test it does not have dts decoding.

The Xenon 810 player we bought was able to produce the dts encoding. Also, we were suprised that the Nextbase was unable to track my dual layer p_the good, the bad and the ugly which my Pioneer 233 do, as well as the the Xenon, the Orange and the Shinco
8300 players were able to do.

The next base Pal to Ntsc conversion had better picture
quality (resolution etc.) than that of the Xenon and Shinco. The orange had the worst Pal to NTSC conversion as well as having that irritating "elevator
ding" feature which you can not defeat everytime you
open or close the drawer.

The overall winner for us was the Xenon 810 which
we bought from Automatic center for 6,690 though
it is more expensive than the Nextbase and the Orange
and its appearance is less attractive with a led display
which tends to malfunction (the display unit they have
has a non functioning display).

Hope that helps those trying to figure out which
China made is better.

Hi Roadster, how can you tell which version is the new one and old one? So it has no DTS decoding how about Dolby Digital can it decode it into 5.1 channels?

Post by: Roadster on Sep 01, 2002 at 08:26 PM
Hi Firestorm,

how can you tell which version is the new one and old one?

Both front and rear of the units differ in appearance.
Easiest method is by looking at the rear. The old one
has lesser RCA phono outputs (no surround
decoding). The new one has more audio RCA phono
outputs for the Dolby Digital 5.1

 So it has no DTS decoding how about Dolby Digital can it decode it into 5.1 channels?

Yes, as might be presumed from above, the new one
does decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but even as confirmed
at the Nextbase home page link provided by tx there
is no DTS decoder.

Hope that helps,
Roadster

I got it for 4.6 thou in Watson's Foto Supply (this is just across the original SM-Manila branch near Carriedo LRT Station) and carries a 6 months warranty. I got the newer model and has tested it using an R1, R3, MP3, CD Audio, VCD and p*****d disk, they all played perfectly, it can even read a PAL encoded disk and colored ang labas nya sa NTSC TV!! Galeng talaga.  ;D :D

I don't have to worry anymore when I buy from the Abus, and very nice pa ang design nya. Definitely, this baby is worth endorsing.  ::)

Hi acidburn

I have tried all kinds of DVD disk with my Nextbase player (R1,R3,DVD9,pdisk) and so far no problems naman na encounter ko. I was going to buy a Pioneer sana, but upon further consultation with bestbuy I finally decide to go with Nextbase since trip ko lang talaga is manood.

If you have extra money to spare then go for branded, but if you have a tight budget then I suggest you buy Nextbase. I bought mine (I got the new model) at Watson's (its near LRT-Carriedo Station) at 4.6 thousand with 6 months warranty. Raon Electronics Mall is offering the old model at 4.3 thou only kaya lang baka next time na bumalik ako doon iba na nag-occupy ng stall wala na ako hahabulin for the warranty. At least sa Watson, confident ako na nandoon lang talaga. Very good ang service doon kya you won't regret buying from them.

GO FOR NEXTBASE, YOU WONT REGRET IT!!  8)

Watson's Is a well known store  in QUIAPO for Camera enthusiasts, they have quite a reputation for their reasonable prices, I am not sure though for the warranties since most of the purchases I've made there revolves around Nikon products, and the warranties are often outlived by the bought products.

If your'e looking for a reasonably priced Nikon or Olympus, Watson is the place to go.  

Opps....wrong thread. :-X ;) ;D ;D

Alfie ...tried almost all, pdisk, R1, R3, R4, MP3, VCD.  so far, so good!  one thing na lang...durability! tatagal kaya ito.  Ever since I bought this, every day ginagamit ko especially on weekends.  from morning till night.

great buys i'm not sure if my nextbase is the old one or the new one.  How can you tell and what's the difference?

Alfie   one thing na lang...durability! tatagal kaya ito.  Ever since I bought this, every day ginagamit ko especially on weekends.  from morning till night.


Tx  My cousin's Very very Cheap VCD player has suffered all the abuse my cousin can bestow upon it(wanna know if the warranty will work :o ) and it's been 2 years now, and it hadn't conked out on him.  I've also observed this with the Hospital where my wife works.(VCD player's being abused by the Karoake marathon sessions)

I actually find the China based players more durable than the Malaysian manufactured ones, however as what I've reiterated in the Generics thread, there will always be lemons, and the good news here is that the symptoms for the Lemons will usually emerge within the first few weeks(3-4 weeks), afterwhich most of the stories I hear are Happily ever after ones.(an exemption seems to be the case of the NIVA as reported by Battousai, which conked out after 3 months of use)

One recomendation that I usually make is to utitize am 8-12 in. blade electric fan, to cool ypour unit..... if you cannot help but go and utilize your player for 6-8 hrs. of movie marathons. :o ;) ;D

Alfie I agree with you with that.  My player is on its 4th week and seems to be working fine.  Still have 5 months to go till the warranty expires.  But got a feeling that this player will really last. ???

Tx,

There are now 2 models of the Nextbase dvd9000 available, an older version and the new one. The one I bought is the newer model. Though it has surround audio outputs at the back of the unit, it was not able to produce the dts sound from my p_ten commandment disc. Siguro the p_disk does not have dts decoding.

How can you tell which is new and which is old?  Both front and rear of the units differ in appearance. So far, the most obvious difference I have noticed is sa likod ng unit. The old one has lesser RCA phono outputs (no surround decoding). The new one has more audio RCA phono outputs for the Dolby Digital 5.1

Hope this helps.  8)

Hey Great Buys,

Your post seems to be an echo of my test experience.
The p_ten commandments has DTS encoded. It was
decoded by other players with DTS decoders. The
Next base has no DTS decoder as even specified
in their website.

great buys medyo nalito yata ako...how many audio outputs meron player mo..mine..2 digital(coaxial,optical) 6 analog DD (FL,FR,RL,RR,Center,SW)  and 2 analog (2 channel) RCA.  Total - 8. ???

meron bang additional 2 output yun model mo?  that means old model pala nabili ko.  anyway oks lang yun since the reason i bought this player is it could read almost all the disks in the market, whether R1 or pdisk.

When I bought this, nakaprint naman sa box and also in the player na DTS digital out.  So di ko na inexpect na may built-in DTS decoder ito.  

I've test this with a R1 THE MUSKETEER (DTS), walang lumabas na sound when I select the DTS although nagappear yun logo ng DTS sa player.  SETUP - DVD player connected to my ONKYO AVR thru 2 channel analog output.  Luma na kasi itong AVR ko, no DTS/DD5.1 decoder, no 5.1 analog inputs.  Kailangan ko na talagang magupgrade ng AVR.....grrrr gastos na naman.

well, nice to hear that your model has a built-in DTS decoder.  This will surely make NEXTBASE as the BEST BUY and GREAT BUY...ok ba!  ;D

i have p-discs which are dual layer.  nextbase is able to play it all. :)

just a tip for those who are buying the nextbase. bring along your favorite dvd discs (recommend to bring along all types, pdiscs, dual layer, etc)

i bought the nextbase a month ago but it didnt play most of my pdiscs especially the dual layer. i returned the unit & had it replaced (buti na lang may 6mo warranty). now my unit plays all my dvd discs. ;)

Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 23, 2002 at 08:49 AM
hi filth,

here is my insignificant suggestion over your indecision:

1. if you do not plan or own a dts enabled receiver where you will hook up your dvd player for sound to come out in home theater speakers, go nextbase dvd9000. cheaper and you dont miss anything.

2. if you have dts enabled receiver and seriously plan to hook dvd players to it for audio to come out from home theater speakers (meaning, complete front center rear speakers, not just front leftright speakers) then go xenon.

Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 24, 2002 at 07:36 AM
hi filth,

quiapo will always be cheaper than nintendo but if proximity is an issue, then perhaps it would be more practical indeed for you to go virra mall nintendo to purchase your unit.
then again, the "haven" of pdiscs are also in quiapo. so u can view your voyage to quiapo as 2 pronged: buying dvd player & buying from the abus para sulit ang biyahe mo.

pdisc in virra are peddled at 120 cheapest (last time i heard) when you can get same for only 70p in the quiapo abu.

anyway, nintendo virra is located behind the bioresearch second floor , near/across astrovision yata.

regarding kinds of discs played on the nextbase dvd-9000 (non potable) unit are as follows (based on MY personal collection)
1. region 1 yes original
2. region 3 original yes
3. dvd5 quiapo yes EXCEPT FOR ONE: ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN
4. dvd9 china pressed Yes
5. PAL encoded to a dedicated NTSC only TV: Yes
6. mp3 yes
7. CD-R vcd movie copy: yes
8. audio cd (p type and original) Yes
9. PICTURE FILE (.JPG) IN CD-R FORMAT: NO
10. Audio Music in CD-R format: yes.

i hope these infos helped

Title: questions re: Portable Nextbase
Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 27, 2002 at 07:25 AM
hi,

i saw the portable nextbase at Watson yesterday but due to many customers inside, and i was a bit in a hurry, i was not able to inquire anything about it.

however, i was wondering: it was inside their display glass and it was playing a dvd called "brit awards, videos of the year". the mtv clip was three girls singing "eternal flame" and the video output was connected to a small tv screen obviously designed for car use.

i was just wondering why internitently, the upper portion of the mtv video clip sort of get "distorted", parang tumatabingi, and then its back to okay na ulit.

is this due to the dvd player's poor or skipping problem, or is it due to the small TV monitor's screen problem. Again, this TV monitor is for car use talaga, and im pretty sure about it. I hope it is the TV screen's problem.

Anyway, whoever has bought it here (as i have previously read0, can you tell me if it is AUTOVOLTAGE? 110V to 220V ba ito??? And is the unit BATTERY operatable, meaning you can use penlight eveready batteries ba to turn it on, aside from using power cord?? I am presuming that it is multi region and CD-R/RW readable.

Further, Watson now only has the Nextbase Console (non portable) model na hindi DVD-9000, but another model which has no number/model printed on its faceplate, kaya i dont know what is the particular model \number. Basa, this unit is silver aluminum and has a little more modern/funkier design than the DVD-9000 which is very classic/traditional ang appearance.

In place of the DVD-9000 Nextbase, they have this "SAMWON" brand DVD-console naman. Samwon also produces the small TV screen for car use, as well as some VCD players. Semi-familiar na rin ako sa Samwon brand.  How does it perform, I have no idea of of now.

Iyon lang. hope someone can assess the portable Nextbase kasi i plan to buy it IF IT IS MULTI VOLT.

Sincerely,

BestBuy88

Post by: firestorm on Sep 28, 2002 at 08:53 PM
Hi bestbuy, I got the Nextbase portable this afternoon for 5,600 at Watsons. Regarding you questions I tested it on their regular tv I did not notice any distortions in the upper portion of the video. It comes with a AC/DC adapter 220V to 12V and it can't be operated by using batteries. It's multiregion and I haven't tried CD-R/RW yet but I think it can read them.

The main problem with it is it can't play some pdiscs which are badly encoded unlike the Nextbase DVD-9000.  It uses a different firmwave the setup screen is more like the SAST-816 so all the discs that I had problems before with my SAST exhibited the same problems like skipping at a certain portion of the movie. And I have tried the same problematic discs with the Nextbase DVD-9000 no skipping naman.

And isak0411, there was no mention of anti shock in the box or manual and I did not try shaking it for fear of damaging it. But the owner of Watsons said that some units sold were being used in Buses so I guess there is some kind of shock protection.

To qwerty765, there is no headphones included but it has a jack for headphones with it's own volume control and yes it has a remote but it's not that portable. The size is bigger than a discman.

Hope this helps
Title: porta nextbase: thanks firestorm
Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 29, 2002 at 06:33 AM
hi firestorm,

thanks for the info. im glad its a 12volt unit.

because it means i can just go buy a multi voltage adapter (used in calculators) and bring the nextbase to countries with 110v and still be able to use it.

however, the sast-like problems of unreadability is sorta making me back off.

then again, if i will be going abroad (usa) and perhaps leaving the equipment abroad na rin, i guess wala naman pirated copy sa america. so the unreadability issue might be resolved. tama kaya ang hula ko? ehehehe..

anyway, next year pa ang alis ko and i can wait for it to drop its prices a little bit more. perhaps two weeks before my flight, i will purchase it. not now. tutal i already have the nextbase dvd9000 in my room.

thanks firestorm, and anymore quirks and misses of the porta unit, please share it anytime.

appreciatively,

bestbuy88
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: firestorm on Sep 29, 2002 at 09:32 AM
It should work with a multi adapter. I think you should have no problem with R1 dvds and with pdiscs it justs a very small percentage only.

I think you should buy 1 month before your flight because you can never be sure if there will be stocks available because I went there last friday and wala nang stocks only the display unit which he said was reserved and he told me he would ask the person if he could wait for the new shipment. So I went back yesterday and he was able to get 2 more new units. He said sometimes it would takes weeks or months for the new shipment to arrive and if the prices should fall it should be minimal only since he said no other company has produced the portable unit so no competition.

another quirk is you should place the disc in firmly or it would not load you have to turn the power off . You load the disc like you would in a playstation 1.

Bestbuy88,

Hi!
Checked out the NextBase units in Raon, mainly because of your reviews. But one vendor there discouraged us from buying NextBase because, he said, it is prone to overheating. Is it true? Is NextBase really prone to OVERHEATING?

The vendor also said that the same thing happens with the NextBase portable.

The vendor was trying to push Best instead.

Any comments? And what are your experiences with warranties when buying in Raon?

The vendor also warned us in buying NextBase because there are many fake units being pushed. Are these all true?

Thanks.
Title: Heat and Fake
Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 30, 2002 at 07:30 AM
hi isako411,

Heat: so far the marathon dvd watching i have done is viewing three dvd movies/concerts one after the other. pausing only to get some snacks.

verdict: i do not think it overheated. in fact, gauging my sast 816 and this nextbases 9000, i FEEL that my discs are hotter when i eject then from the sast than the nextbase. probably due to the slim body of the sast which has a little difficulty in e\removing the heat inside the machine.

in fact, the discs ejected from the nextbase has almost always been lukewarm, tolrably mild in warmness.

Of course, it makes a difference since I have a small electric fan blowing air to each DVD player i have, esp the SAST which i think is a must.

Aside from that, I have yet to experience overheating from any of my promac dvd-2002, sast aep816, samsung 905 and/or nb dvd9000.

So, as far as the four players are concerned and based on my usage and environment, overheating has not yet puzzled my units.

regarding fakes, i guess the fakes would be the BRANDED ONES, like Sony and Pioneer. If you insist on these brands (add Philips pa pala kasi may nakita akong fake Philips dvd player), then you might end up with a fake indeed.

Kaso, if you are buying generic, like sast, nextbase or those fo the same level, why should there be fear of fake? eh wala naman "brand perfume" ang mga generics di ba? so why would a manufacturer clone his units with another generic brand? might as well tag your fake as a REAL BRANDED ONE, di ba?

So again, if you think there is the possiblity of a fake NextBase DVD-9000 per the advice of that store, think again. I doubt.

Yet, if there really is (kasi i cannot say I am sure there is not), then I am sure that the unit i bought from Watsons Photo is a genuine, and WOW HA, ANG SAYA SAYA, KASI MAGALING PALA ANG NEXTBASE KAYA MAYROON NA NAG-PEPEKE SA BRAND NIYA!!!

As in anything; only GOOD QUALITY ITEMS HAVE THE CHANCES OF BEING FAKED. Kung bulok ang isang bagay, sino mag fa-fake pa noon di ba??

Hi bestbuy 88,

 ;DHi fellas,

I'm quite new here but i've been reading the PinoyDVD message boards since last year.

I bought my portable Nextbase DVD player at Watson's about 3 weeks ago ... I have not encountered any problems naman and it played perfectly all R-Free (p...dvds),R1,R3,VCDs,CDs,Pictures (JPEG) burned in CD-R/RW, MP3s burned in CD-R/RW.

What I only regret about this product is that it doesnt have any digital audio (coax) output. For that I couldnt fully use my Altec Lansing ADA880 in Dolby Digital mode.

Heat is another concern for this product since it comes in a small package and lacks air ventilation. With this, producty warranty is a must. So far no problem naman w/ my unit except nalulusaw na yung serial number sticker sa ilalim ng player (hehehehe) and most probably heat is the culprit.

Its anti-shock mechanism works flawlessly (eventhough its not stated on the product specs), I tried to shake it while playing DVDs and no problems were encountered.

Anyway, Im very happy to have this product because it's portable, it's multi-region, has great features and
very cheap.


Title: isak0411: location of watson
Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 03, 2002 at 06:15 AM
k,

watson photo supply is just at the opposite corner of meyers.

mas malapit ang watsons sa backdoor entrance of shoemart carriedo. just go to the door of shoemart backside and look across, surely you will see watsons, although you might not see its billboard easily kasi nga tadtad na nag vendors ang sidewalk nila.

watson is beside henry's camera also, exact neighbors sila. you wont miss it.

and whilee at watson's, look at their small digital camera showcase which is sharing display space with the nextbase porta dvd player. nakaka-tulo laway rina ang mga cute digicameras nila doon!!! ehehehehe.... ganda ganda kahit konti lang ang variety (compared to lets say hongkong).

good luck and hope you enjoy your new toy. since there seems to be a little problem with heat, better elevate the porta unit than directly ipatong sa mesa or cabinet mo. kuha ka ng tansan or anything para may distance ang unit and the pinapapatungan. of course if you can invest in a small electric fan to exclusively blow the unit while operating, the better. might turn out cheaper to buy a dedicated small fan than wasting and risking it to overheat and boom, sira na. repairing it is a bit problematic siguro kasi all nextbase dvd players are more of dealers than service centers.

do keep us posted with its performance please!!

sincerely,

bestbuy88

Hi bestbuy, I got the Nextbase portable this afternoon for 5,600 at Watsons. Regarding you questions I tested it on their regular tv I did not notice any distortions in the upper portion of the video. It comes with a AC/DC adapter 220V to 12V and it can't be operated by using batteries. It's multiregion and I haven't tried CD-R/RW yet but I think it can read them.

Hey Firestorm,

Does the unit comes with a cigarette lighter adaptor so it can be used in the car?

What else are included...like RCA or S-video cables?

OK ba performance...would you recommend it to us?

The unit comes with a remote and batteries and RCA cables that's it. It doesn't come with a cigarette adapter but it's 12volts so it can be used in a car but you have to buy your own adapter.
It's ok aside from having some problems w/ pdiscs and the heat issue (but that's to be expected since the unit is compact). It really depends on what you want to use it for the main advantage is of course it's size and weight you can easily bring it to wherever you like. If you just want to use it for a single tv I would suggest getting a normal sized player. The Nextbase DVD-900 is just 4.6K and it seems to play even badly encoded discs that the Nextbase portable won't play.

Hi Firestorm,

Thanks for the info. Since I travel a lot, I intend to buy one, so I can use it kahit sa hotel pag walang magandang palabas sa cable, also I'm planning to buy one of those cheap portable LCD TV for the car, the reason why I'm asking if it has an adapter for car lighter. I just hope it can withstand vibrations pag nasa moving vehicle na.

nintendo commercial in makati cinema square is selling a nextbase unit color gold,  different from the nextbase 9000 i saw in the manufacturer"s website w/c is silver,  the control panel is different.  can anybody comment on this....
Title: two versions of model DVD9000.
Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 06, 2002 at 08:39 AM
just a quick info:

there are two versions pala of the console DVD9000.

the first one i got had a SCART terminal at the back and was dedicated 220volts.

i got another one yesterday, also at watsons.

this time, it did NOT have the scart terminal anymore.

it does NOT state the specific nextbase factory name and address at the back. instead, there is just a white stamped MADE IN CHINA logo.

finally, IT IS NOW AUTOVOLTAGE. 110V/220V ang nakalagay. I do not know kung ang 110v/220v ay iba sa 110v~220v.

kasi the "/" seems to say fixed 110v or 220v

while for me, the "~" seems to say "from 110v continously up to 220v"

nonetheless, i prefer the second version (without scart, kasi wala naman akong gamit) since autovoltage makes this unit more versatile, di ba?

and probably, the higher voltage capacity makes it less vulnerable to electric fluctuations?

price 4,600pesos

good luck. so happy with nextbase talaga.

i think we got a similar model. The one i bought is champagne/gold colr and the control panel is a bit different. The buttons aren't round and there are more controls. I think it's also a bit slimmer than the silver version.

Title: Portable NextBase Serial Number
Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 14, 2002 at 06:50 AM
hi,

anyone here kind enough to share with me the following information regarding your NEXTBASE PORTABLE DVD PLAYER?

1. exact model number

2. serial number

I need this infos for some "research" kuno. ehehehe...

furthermore, yesterday i was at virra mall. and i would like to inform you guys that this Nextbase dvd player console type seems to have a "clone".

You see, Nintendo is now selling the Nextbase Dvd-9000 at 4,680pesos with free microphone daw. it is in silver aluminum or champagne gold variant. this model is the one I own. distinguishing factor is the round circle design where the play/pause/rewind/fastforward buttons are all located at the right side of the front face.

beside nintendo is a store that seems to be called "E Store" This one also has Nextbase, both porta and console, BUT, the console version nila is different from what I own.  They also have their console unit labelled as DVD9000 pero mas magaspang ang finish nito. At saka all the fastforward,rewind/play etc buttons are round ones and not like MY nextbase which (as ive mentioned) are designed inside a circle.

so be careful. what i have been reviewing and what is sold by Watson is the one sold by Nintendo Virra Mall, NOT the one sold by E-Store.

thanks.

Post by: albino on Oct 15, 2002 at 06:04 PM
please read the posts from the previous pages :-)

yung sa watson na 4600 pesos,  bagong version ng DVD 9000 - 11.  last week nagtanong ako sa kanila , same price pa rin. It has Dolby Digital Decoder and
DTS Pass through ( no decoder - out only)


(http://www.apollo.com.hk/IMAGES/prductlo/9000-11.jpg)

to distinguish the new one from the old one, here are the differences as noted from previous posts

new= silver only (so far)
new= more audio outputs at the back of the unit
new= round buttons

old= both in gold and silver
old= buttons designed in a circle


baka new version DVD9000 yung nasa e-store sa tabi ng Nintendo Virra Mall.  check ko next time

hi,

thank you guys for the info on the model and serial number.

i will post some findings once i get to tinker with one of these porta babies.

further, at virra mall second floor across astrovision and besides nintendo, this "E-Store' also has on display a SHINCO PORTABLE DVD PLAYER WITH BUILT IN SCREEN. I did not ask them the price kasi first of all, ang pangit ng customer relation ng store na iyan, and secondly, ewan ko lang but i do not find the Shinco aestehtically beautiful. In fact, it seems a little bit "bland".

Mas okay pa ang porta Nextbase, medyo classic ang dating.

nextbase dvd 9000 (old model - buttons in a circle)
both gold and silver color, still available at NINTENDO VirraMall.  sabi ng salesboy, 4500

then pinakita ko sa kanila kung meron sila nung mas bagong model ng nextbase 9000.  sabay kami tumingin sa display ng E-Store VirraMall,  sabi nila meron rin silang ganun for the same price of 4500, kaya lang di nakadisplay.

sa E-Store the price of the newer nextbase 9000 is 5,000


compared in terms of physical beauty,  mas stylish talaga and mas maganda yung older model. lalo na yung gold  :-)

onedown,

yups i think i can safely say that the union 888 is a rebadged nextbase. i am referring to the one silver aluminum color with the play/pause/ff/rewind buttons all enclosed insed a chrome plated round thing on the right hand side of the chasis.

if your dvd's setup screen shows the video/audio/others/etc set up in one single horizontal line on the upper most of the screen when you first push SET UP, then i can even further confirm it has the same brain.

sincerely,

thanks for the info, bestbuy. magkamag anak pala ang players natin. :) this goes as well for the union ukd-988 player which has a slimmer profile. other than aesthetics, the two union players are otherwise identical, as the manual they share indicate no differences, except for the physical dimensions.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 19, 2002 at 06:52 AM
hi,

i do not think that the slimmer 988 union dvd player is still a nextbase.
in fact this slimmer type model of union is, in my opinion, a reincarnated MASTAR dvd player that used to be floating around at the time SAST dvd player was also flooding the market.

unfortunately, MASTAR dvd player is MAPILI sa bala.

so please do not make the mistake of assuming that the bulkier 888 (which is a rebadged Nextbase DVD9000) is the same as 988 slim model and only the chasis differs.

i dont think so.

walang sast aep816 though. kaso shock ako to see sampo earning a ten star. ehehehe..... maganda naman kasi ang chasis ng sampo, which is sold at a computer gadget store somewhere in marina roxas blvd. seemed to have lost the name though.

Title: nextbase remote control
Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 25, 2002 at 05:37 PM
hi,

i would like to confirm again a new development.

yesterday i bought another nextbase dvd9000 player from watson, champagne gold di ba?

well, THIS ONE SPORTS A NEW REMOTE CONTROL DESIGN which in my opinion is better than the original remote control.

dati, and remote is contoured like straight bar of soap, just like promac dvd players.

thsi one i got yesterday is contoured like PANTENE SHAMPOO container, COCA COLA BODY. mas masarap hawakan and IT SEEMS LANG HA, that the layout is a tad better to remember. the placement of the command keys are almost identical, yet somehow, it seemd spaced much better and more distantly than the previous remote control which seemd too close to each other.

it is still in black over white/gray letters which i think MUST be improved kasi medyo mahirap mabasa lalo kung madilim ang room niyo.

thats all. its autovolt indeed.

sincerely,

Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 26, 2002 at 06:06 PM
hi,

unlike most stores, Watsons gives prices straightforwardly. walang tawad tawad style. i bought three nextbases already (each getting cheaper from 4,800 to 4600 to 4,300) without me haggling. of course i would as for little more discount, but never have they given in.

just proceed to watsons and ask the price from the chinese male owner. dont ask the salesladies. they dont know much about those gadgets kasi. the salesladies are more into the pricing of the camera films lang talaga.

im not sure if i can accompany you since im quite busy these days preparing for a seminar.

WATSONS IS CLOSED ON SUNDAYS. MON TO SAT, THEY CLOSE EARLY AT 6PM SHARP. AS IN SHARP.

good luck and go buy the so far, BEST dvd player i have seen in terms of VALUE - PERFORMANCE - MONEY'S WORTH.

bestbuy 88,

I bought a nextbase dvd player from Nintendo greenhills yesterday, yung champagne gold.( P4500) I tested several region dvds incl p-dvds, ok naman, however, when I brought it home, di ko mapagana ang digital out using co axial or the analog connections. Only the L and R sound output ang gumagana. I checked the manual and followed all steps, ayaw pa rin. The component video output is also not working, ok yung rca and s-video. Im going back to nintendo today to return the unit and ask for replacement. May hindi ko alam kaya na set up?

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: Titanium on Oct 29, 2002 at 08:12 AM
Thanks Tx, I have checked and activated lahat na pero ayaw talaga. As an update, i returned it yesterday but nintendo cannot test the digital co axial out dahil wala silang receiver. They replaced the unit and tested the audio out using the 6 channel analog.  

To all future buyers of nextbase, etc, make sure to test all functions before paying. When I first tested the first unit na nilabas nila, it cannot read R1??? but can read R2, R3, and p disk, so I ask for another one na nakakabasa lahat, but then yun naman digital out and the component video out ayaw. If you buy from nintendo, try to bring your receiver (?) with you. Ngayon ok na nextbase ko, lahat gumagana and comparing it to my Philips 762K, parang mas maganda pa sya, even the remote is ok, maliit lang ang labels. BTW, one p disc na di mabasa ng philips ko, binasa ng nextbase, yun ang ginamit kung test disc.

You're right Titanium, the first unit na tinest ko defective din, ayaw magread kahit anong disk, R1, p-disk, & R3.  You have to check it all pero medyo mahirap yatang dalhin yun receiver dahil medyo mabigat.  Ok lang kung sa Nintendo ka bibili but kung sa Watsons or sa Raon where I bought my nextbase medyo mahirap dalhin.  Itest na lang siguro sa bahay since they are giving 6 months warranty naman.  So far ok pa yung nextbase ko, almost 3 mos. na siya!  :)

i have a question about subtitles.

My Nextbase 9000 has a setting in the setup section where you can turn off the subtitles, but whenever I insert a DVD the subtitle is still shown. I have to manually press the subtitle button in the remote for it to disappear.  Is this a quirk of this brand of dvd player or is my unit defective?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: bestbuy88 on Nov 06, 2002 at 02:46 AM
hi jojitb,

i dont think it is a quirk.  siguro more of akala natin lang na gagana siya pero arte lang pala ng nextbase (and so with other generic players po ha) ang pa effect na subtitles off feature.

kasi ang akin nga minsan hindi english ang subtitles na lalabas kundi thai or malay or whatsoever na gustong ipalabas ng player.

or it could be kasi nga pdisc ang sinalang natin kaya ganon, may sariling ugali at utak. ehehehe..

dont fret man, afterall all it needs is a steady push of the remote and off the subtitles go naman.

para naman gumana ang remote mo. malay mo kung di mo halos gamitin ang remote mo eh mag stuck up pa iyon.

ehehehe..

sincerely

bestbuy88

jojitb,

maybe the DVD title you inserted is a pdisk.  there are lots of features na wala sa pdisk. :)

kahit sa orig na dvd lumalabas yung subtitle kahit di mo siya i-activate on the menu when you load the disc especially titles from columbia/tri-star. Checked titles from warner,universal, and paramount e di naman.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: jojitb on Nov 09, 2002 at 09:38 AM
yup robertj is correct. even orig titles still display the subtitles.  Anyway, since everybody seems to be  experiencing this, I might as well learn to live with it... Thanks guys...

 While tinkering with my nextbase player yesterday, I found out that if the player is connected to the receiver through 6 channel analog, you cannot enjoy DTS output. The audio set up menu under analog has "DTS off" and cannot be activated to  "on". Ok lang naman using co-axial connection.

I have connected my nexbase using the 6 channel analog because my Philips 762 player is coonected to the co-axial of my receiver ( yammie 430)

BTW, have anybody tried using "y" connection for the co-axial? Im planning to use "Y" from the receiver to connect two DVD palyers, although I can use the optical connection kaya lang I have no optical cable at the moment.

Wala kasing DTS decoder ang Nextbase.  It will only decode and output Dolby Digital signals through the Analog outputs (6 channels)... If you want DTS you will need to use the Optical or RCA Spdif connectors..

Yes you can use a Y-connector, pero medyo nakakatakot in case accidentally umandar sabay iyung dalawa mong player, baka masira iyun.  Better if you just get an optical cable or a video/audio switcher..  Just my opinion...

OK yung video quality ng nextbase esp. if you use the component  or YUV connection. Medyo masyadong dark when using the s-video. Yes, you can use co-axial to get DTS sound using a receiver with DTS decoder.

Long time reader...2nd time poster.

OK Im convinced...Nextbase is the way to go.  I've been reading through the thread but I have some questions, I hope you guys dont mind.

1.  bestbuy88 - its been at least 4 months since you initiated this post...3 DVD players later, is Nextbase still on top of the heap?

2.  DTS - just to confirm Nextbase definitely has no DTS Decoder and from what I read DVD pass through is still questionable.  If I did want to enjoy DTS - and I intend to buy an AV receiver anyways - do I still need a DTS decoder/pass through featue on the player?

3.  Dual layer discs - can the NB read them?  BTW do such discs exist in Pform?  Is this the reason why DTech charges so much for their ptypes?

4.  I was in GHills the other day, Orange and Sparkle pplayers were at 4K without haggling!  Anybody encountered these brands before?  Are they worth losing 4K over?

As a side note, I was turned on to the scene by a friend who has sung high praises for sast pplayers.  I saw only 2 stalls selling em pn my last visit to GHills- one had her last 3 pieces but would part for them for only P6.5K.

The other store was selling for P5K ONLY because IT WAS 'REFURBISHED'!  He actually used the word 'refurbished' and when asked what it meant - he said it was cleaned from the factory BUT it was brand new (mwahahahahahahaha) - man blow it out of your kumot n kulambo (tama bang stereotype hehe)!

Tanong na din - bakit nga ba wala nang SAST players na binebenta?  Did their factory close down?  Is kapitan pepe jr selling Nextbases instead? Hehe

Salamat

Post by: Titanium on Nov 26, 2002 at 03:46 PM
To clarify this concern once and for all, Nextbase has DTS out, no DTS internal decoder. You can enjoy DTS sound from nextbase player if you connect it to a receiver with DTS decoder using optical or co-axial cable. If you use the RCA 6-channel connection, you cannot enjoy DTS sound, only 5.1 digital sound.

arivee,

yes, the nextbase dvd9000 REMAINS AS OF THIS WRITING to be the top of the heap, most bang for the buck dvd player (generic) in the market. I remain to tag it HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

regarding the portable DVM-9 Nextbase DVD player, it is also okay BUT i noticed that the unit DOES NOT LIKE TO DO A LOT OF STOP/PLAY/SKIP OPTIONS. If you keep pressing these commands intermitently, the unit will suddenly whirl and just hang. the scene will freeze of your screen. but if you let it play continously, no problem naman siya.

hope this helped.

Hi,

I'm new here and planning to buy DVD player. It seems from the review of various threads, NEXTBASE 9000 is the best among the generic DVDs. I went to Watson yesterday and the unit is selling at P4100 but available only on gold finish. Out of stock daw yung Silver. Apat kami ng officemate ko na balak bumili and we can get it for 4K daw.

For comparison purpose we tried to look for Xenon brand sa RAON pero we failed. We only saw Orange brand.

Medyo nanghihinayang lang ako dahil DTS ready lang ang NEXTBASE. I think di ko din naman ma-eenjoy sa TV sound yung DTS kung wala pa akong AV receiver. What do you think, mga Sirs? Btw, can you explain to me (in layman term) ano ang DTS...How it differ with DD, AC3 etc.?

Bibili kami ng NEXTBASE sa Monday, Dec. 2. May Bonus na kc sa Nov 30...yehheeyyyy.

Hi Guys,

Since it has no built-in DTS encoder, could you guys suggest a good receiver (iyung medyo mura lang) which I could attach to it?   :)

1. Sast choosier in terms of playing P-type disc purchased in quiapo or ghills tiangge.

2. Sast madaling uminit ang machine kasi slim sobra and ventilation slots too small limited.

3. Sast has the DING sound when ejecting disc. Nakakagulat lalo if volume mo malakas ang default. ehehehe...

4. Sast looks better/sleeker/classier than Nextbase by a few points.

5. Both doesnt have a legal/authorized service center but i will give NextBase a higher rate of repairability kasi parang mas basic ang set up/mechanism niya.

6. Nextbase is cheaper than Sast (if you can find an SAST) but kahit NB is chepaer, you are NOT shortchanging yourself (except for the built in DTS decoder kung parmaount importance to you iyan) but for me, i put more pogi points sa VERSATILITY TO PLAY ANY KIND OF DISC than the audio output

hope this helps. heard that Nextbase DVD-9000 is 4k na lang sa Watson quipao? thats down from 4,800 in May 02 and 4,600 in Sept 02. WHAT A STEAL.

rom2002- If I were you, I'd go for the generic players which were used and reviewed by our fellow members.  

Bestbuy hit the jackpot there when he tried out Nextbase DVD and is now creating and promoting his thread on the said player.

Taking the risk can give you nirvana or just plain disappointment.  It is still your choice.

six months lang po ang warranty given to me by Watsons Quiapo for all three nextbase dvd9000 and the porta dvm9 i bought from them.

none has been needing any after sales service, but i worry more with the porta dvm9 more kasi it seems a bit more fragile.

all three console type are used almost nightly, at least one dvd movie is watched. in aircon room condition. none has failed me at all.

and im happy to report that yesterday i bought ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN dvd p-type at quiapo, and this time IT PLAYED NA SA NEXTBASE KO. meaning, the first set of All President dvd pressed (bought around early july this year) were defective nga talaga. its a nice movie, go get it.  

but skip on AND GOD CREATED WOMAN starring bridget bardot. pangit BUT the transfer is excelent. criterion collection series kasi.

Jepoi Simply, Watson's at the corner of P.Gomez and Hidalgo St...and I don't believe they accept credit cards, and if thgey do, the usual practice by the Quiapo based stores is to add 15% to the tag price. ;)

Steam Nintendo Store at the 2nd floor of Virra Mall, it's easy to locate, it's besides Astrovision, only hassle is the New model goes for Php 6,4++.++, whereas the old model goes for Php 5,800.++....Way I see it, it's better to travel all the way to Quiapo. ;) ;D

yeah ako rin, i was looking at getting a Nextbase player as a gift. wala raw sila stock nung set-top player, puro Nextbase portable.

i had a little chat with the owner of Mayer Photo (Ramon) and he recommended me this new brand he has on stock — Best DVD - over the Nextbase player. it's a cool-looking, very slim player with all the features Nextbase has, plus has a built-in DTS decoder Nextbase missed. it only goes for (would you believe) PhP 3,800.  ;D

Ramon liked this brand so much that he even sweared he even sold his own Nextbase player and had this at home. he claims it played ALL DVDs that have been in some way conditional and erratic with Nextbase. so far, it's the 'Best' (pun intended) generic dvd player he has come across so far.  ;)

with that said, i bought the player after doing test rounds with it with his various region and P-DVDs there.
as of now, i've yet to run my own tests on this player (since my bro can't open it yet til x'mas), but i must say i have a gut feeling a i had a great buy.

me too just came from both stores and the guy at the Watson's store also told me that new stock will arrive in January 2003, so I guess I'll have to wait till then to purchase the NextBase DVD player. :( But from what Ramon (Mayer Photo) told me they will no longer get new stocks of the NextBase DVD only Watson will.

Same thing he said to me I also was about to buy the "Best" DVD Player instead, but no offense intended I did'nt like looks of it, the blue colored face-plate thing(what-ever you call it..hehehe) ???

So what I "temporarily" bought until the NextBase DVD arrives was the SONEX DVD Player, sonex with an 'E'. Mayroon din SONIX but with an 'I'.  ;)

Post by: Hi-tech on Dec 26, 2002 at 07:46 AM
At last, nakabili rin ako ng DVD player, which is Nextbase 9000.  :P
Ganito pa ang nangyari, last week nanggaling ako sa Quiapo, kaya lang out of stock sa Jan. pa darating.  :-\ So, since I need to watch dvds this holiday, I decided to buy Xenon 810 sa Abenson which I thought will cost me about P5,300 with 0 % interest sa Citibank (kasi parang may nabasa akong ad sa dyaryo).

I was wrong, nang pumunta ako sa Abenson Ever Commonwealth it costs about 5,700 with added interest pa. It was a little higher than my budget. Then I lose hope na makabili pa ako ng DVD to think na akala ko makakabili na ako sa quiapo, medyo nahirapan pa ako nun dahil sa Fairview pa ako nanggaling. Whew..  :-[

But hey, mayrong bagong branch ng Nintendo Commercial sa tapat mismo ng Abenson!  ;D . Then I saw several dvd players : AHOO portable (with four analog stereo output - just like nextbase portable) costs only P3,800 and the other version new model (I don't know the difference though  ??? and I forgot the price also); and then the Nextbase  ;D  ;D  ;D .  Medyo mahal nga lang, it costs me P4,400 from the reg. price of P4,680.

Nakabuti pa kasi malapit lang sa amin (Fairview) compared to their branch in Greenhills at yung Watson nga sa Quipo (LUCKY ME)  ;)  ;)

..just like to share my experience and hope you'll be satisfied with your dvd players.

May advantages at disadvantages between Xenon and Nextbase, for me.

First of all, if you buy NExtbase, malayo ang service center which is the store you bought it ( in your case, quiapo, greenhills). so isa ito sa factor na titingnan.

Wala itong dts (see other threads)
6 months warranty lang

For Xenon
may dts
supported by a service center in Guadalupe
one year warranty sold by a reputable store (SM and abenson)

BUT like the ones mentioned in the Xenon thread, mahirap ang remote control at may 'di nababasang pdisk.

Medyo may slight advantage ang Xenon if u decided to build a home theater system bec. of the dts feature while in nextbase you'll need to buy an amplifier to enjoy the digital sound of the home theater system.

Pero para sa akin, di na kailangan. OK na yung maikabit ko sa Sony compo.

So far, I'm satisfied with the Nextbase.  But I guess mas bababa pa itong mga players kaya nakapaghihinayang lang bumili sa ngayon if you're not needing it that badly. Mayron na rin kasi akong nabiling mga dvds and I have lots of time to watch this holiday!  ;D ;D ;D

To all Nextbase owners,
By the way, paano nga pala ma-cancel yung resume function? Kasi kapag gusto mo umpisahan ulit, dun bumabalik sa scene kung saan mo ini-"stop".
Kaya ginagawa ko ini-eject ko na lang ulit and then it will load again.
Wala bang ganung function sa remote? just like in my sony dvd player compo na kapag 2 times mo ipress yung stop, na-cacancel ang resume kaya when you press play, dun na siya sa simula nag-sstart.

thanks for your input in advance.. ;)

I went to Nintedo about three days ago.

They were selling the gold/champagne colored nextbase for P4,500 and an Ahhoo (sinipon) half width form factor for P3,900.

So the question is - puwede pa bang tumawad sa kanila?

Also, Im sending the thing to my bro in law in the US, auto volt ba siya?

Salamas  ;D

Pwedeng tumawad, like just what i did, from P4,680 down to P4,400. Kausapin mo yung manager nila at huwag yung mga staff lang. In my case, dun ako nakabili sa Ever Commonwealth branch.
Parang autovolt, pero ask them just to be sure. Test it also. :)

Hi! I'm a newbie here and planning to buy this brand of player. Tanong ko lang, anong model ba yung colored gold na Nextbase? Ung silver yung DV9000 ryt? Yung gold eh medyo mas bulky kesa sa DV9000 pero do they share the same features? Same quality? Thanks guys!  
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: doc chikito on Dec 27, 2002 at 10:41 PM
the champagne/newer model got no scart terminal which the silver/old one has..... then there's the autovoltage in the new one.

hmmm.... ano pa ba? paging Bestbuy

Post by: The_Demeter on Dec 28, 2002 at 09:41 AM
ah ok.... ano yung purpose nung scart terminal? And given the two, which one would you guys choose?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: arivee on Dec 28, 2002 at 11:25 AM
If its the scart I know - thats a euro standard terminal to connect your source to your display.

If I remember my old thompson monitor pin lay out - that should be the equivalent to what is now known as S-Video albeit there is a greater number of separation of the RGB aside from the chrom and lum.

I believe this standard is somewhat dated and is surpassed in quality by progressive scan and SVGA video.

...Although I might be wrong, hehehehe :D

Just went around raon and quiapo this afternoon, and so far I've only seen NB in one store (Ung golden color na mejo bulky) selling for 4,500. Tapos i saw two stores selling SAST, one for 4,500 and another for 5,500. Sabi nga nung sa Watson baka raw next yr na yung bagong stocks. Ang prevalent ngayon dun eh yung Ahhoo, Best, Pensonic, Promac, Orange, Wlish, Vistron, Samwon, Sany, Sakura, at kung anu-ano pang brand na di ko na ma remember.

Just my two cents....

Post by: indie boi on Dec 29, 2002 at 12:05 AM
Due to the many glowing recommendations on this thread, I finally decided to buy a Nextbase today. I was able to get it for 4,500 at Nintendo Viramall. They also have one unit of the S200 there. I was making goo-goo eyes at my wife so she'll allow me to get that instead. But she was quite firm on this request, hehe.

Anyway, i know this is off topic but I saw a rhongxin 5.1 speaker package in one of the stalls in viramall. They were selling it for 2,500. Since I have already gone generic on my dvd player. Would any of you guys have any feedback regarding this Rhongxin speaker? I can only get these cheapo speakers because my better half has set a strict budget for me since she already gave me a dreamcast, PS2 and a replacement PSOne this year, hehe.

get the tried and tested nextbase dvd9000 model. do not even try to look or invest in any model/brand anymore. this is the ultimate generic investment that you will ever need.

i do not, however, recommend generic speakers. dito gumastos ka na ng konti. go branded. ilang speaker na ba ako ginastusan, palpak lahat. from generics in raon to branded but not the top kinds (pioneer, jvc)

alam mo saan ako natapos? YAMAHA. swak na swak without paying topnotch.

HOWEVER, you might want to try a member here whom i think custom makes speaker. nirvblakr is his nick. you can see him post in this thread too. contact him. i think he is a guru in speakers naman and he can make one to specifications you like.

again, do not tipid on speakers na generic in quiapo. basag bote ang tunog. sayang.

Hi The Demeter. Where particularly in Quiapo did you see Nextbase DV9000 (not the handy or portable ha?). Went there last 27th but couldn't find said brand. Tried Watson and the shops beside it but nada. Maybe you could PM me on this. Thanks

hi,

to those who are into buying the excellent Nextbase DVD9000 console type dvd player, just keep visiting this thread. I live near quiapo and I will keep you all posted when the stock becomes available in quiapo.

just remember: once its available, RUN DONT WALK. Many have texted me expressing their "disappointment" that the DVD9000 is out of stock for the moment. I could only blame them for not acting quickly. As this thread had grown so long, and been read by so many, it must be apparent how good this unit is considering that i think (if i am right), there is YET to be a posting in this thread complaining about any defect/shortcomings of this wonderful dvd player.

keep your eyes closed and just focus on one singular player for the moment: nextbase dvd9000. it is still the player to beat as of this writing. (though i am going to buy a BEST dvd player later this afternoon, the one in blue color yucks upon the insistence of my Mom who needs karaoke feature kasi. I will post a new thread and give my verdict upon my purchase)

sincerely,

bestbuy88

If you're going to get a BEST DVD player, better consider LEXSHING (tama ba spelling?) they are from the same manufacturer but the LEXSHING has a slightly newer software which can already play RCE disks...  We have a BEST player and it would not play my Region 3 and RCE disks no matter what I do to the configuration. Pero pag "P" disk, wala siyang tinatanggihan   :D ..

blitzkrieg,

actually malapit din sha sa watsons, ung isang stall sa right side (if your going to watsons) na katabi eh yung escalator.  

Are you sure about this? Went to Quiapo this morning in my continuing search for that elusive Nextbase following your directions. Luck was not on my side though, coz other than that escalator at the new Plaza Miranda building, I couldn't find any other escalator near the Watson premises. What I saw are obscure brands like Hug, Orange, etc., though they sell SAST at a nightmarish price of P5,500!! Hello?

The last resort was Nintendo in Harrison Plaza based on the info my friend VAX gave me.  Lucky me and my friend (sa kanya naman talaga yun), we saw NB DV9000 (gold), last stock at display pa (but the plastic on the lcd display was intact). The price was originally P4.7 (case of law on supply and demand) but after telling them that the Greenhills branch sold them at P4.3K, they agreed to a discounted price of P4.5K. Me libre pang microphone hehe.

Tested it in my house, especially it's DTS decoding capability and my AVR flashed DTS. So me DTS out nga sya. Nainggit tuloy ako sa friend ko. Dinagdagan pa ng asar kasi he  stormed my collection and borrowed 10 orig titles. Ngayon, free rental pa ako sa kanya!!  ;D

Post by: bestbuy88 on Jan 03, 2003 at 07:35 AM
BEST Dvd Player Model 2818, color silver. Available ONLY at one single store as of yesterday. Inside the "raon electronics center" whose landmark will be the ChowKing Resto on the outside of this "mini mall". Just proceed into the corridor leading into the mall from ChowKing, after which you will see on your right side a celfone tindera. Proceed further and the corner store on your LEFT hand side, the one with patong patong na VCD players. That is the ONLY store right now that carries the "Best" dvd player model 2818 in silver.

I DID NOT BUY THE UNIT. I have to make this clear, kasi I am looking for a player right now that has the KARAOKE PITCH CONTROL similar to what the Promac DVD-2002 has wherein you can manipulate the pitch by 4 octaves higher or lower. This "Best" DVD player did NOT have this feature so I did not buy it.

Aethetically, this version is much much better than what Mayer's was selling (out of stock na po) which came in a despicable Blue Chasis color. So outrageously baduy.

I cannot comment on its versatility in playing discs since I did not acquire it. My apologies. Price is at 3,800pesos.

"SONIX" brand is what Mayer's is pushing. It is the only brand they have right now. Selling price at 3,800pesos. It is slim version with many audio/video jacks at the back. However, it slightly tries to imitate the classy faceplate of SAST AEP816 but comes out trying much to hard. Verdict on its aesthetic in my opinion is "below average but more tolerable than the blue BEST". It has a bulky remote control design with very small buttons; not really a good layout, in my opinion.

"SAST"AEP-816 is now available at the outermost, cornermost store of Quiapo Mall which is the mall on your RIGHT hand side if you are standing outside the main gate of Quiapo Church with your BACK facing the church. It is the mall with an escalator right smack in the middle of the mall. Aside from "SAST", there is another china made brand "AHHOO" that sells for 4,000pesos. This AHHOO is small chasis, much like the size of a VCD Player. Only has limited audio/video jack; one comes with flourescent display on disc status, another comes without display panel.

"AHHOO" has a service center just after the quezon bridge, after the balikbayan handicraft, before you cross the bridge going towards Ayala bridge but it was closed yesterday when I went there. I am not sure if it was closed due to the holiday extended, or it is closed permanently. I will check it out come MOnday to be sure. I wanted to ask if they indeed accept and acknowledge the warranty certificates of AHHOO dvd players sold by the china reds in that quiapo mall.  I would also like to see if there service center has a showroom type where i can test their units. Needless to say, these quiapo mall china reds are difficult to communicate with, much more to request them to attach the dvd players they sell for testing purposes. Nakaka-iksi ng buhay sometimes, lalo na the salesladies who obviously have no technical idea about the players. All they say is "opo, kaya tugtoging lahat ng disc" nothing more. Too general answer.

There are other brands now flooding the quiapo electronics mall too. "Kebao" at 4,300 and 4,500pesos (mini chasis or normal console chasis size); Sanyo that comes in full audio/video jacks, one basic unit at 7,800pesos and another topping at 21,000pesos!!!

"Shinco" also at 7,800 but i do not recall the model number (parang 8300??)

"Sosing" which i previously was harking as the best dvd player before NextBase DVD9000 appeared is also available at 4,200pesos BUT I cannot categorically give any ratings or recommendations on this product since I have not bought this brand yet. Almost lang noon, thank goodness lumabas ang NextBase.

There are other brands that i just have no intent of even trying them out due to poor aesthetics and/or chasis design, such as "Hug", "Rhongshin", "Orange", "Atecs" and "Sansui"(na obviously fake naman, nakiki-Sansui lang pero comes in champagne gold/silver edition ha!!! ehehehe....)

I might go to Greenhills this Sunday to check out what a frriend told me that PROMAC has a showroom over there. I will be bringing my "problematic/challengedly pressed" dvd discs and see if I can make a verdict out of the many models it now has in the market.

YET, I personally visited "Promac"'s service center yesterday at the 2/f of Globe Building, and I was not impressed at all. Two technicians in a well lit room but BARE NAKED! yucks. how unpresentable!!! ehehehe....

-end of report for now-

hi guys,

guess what? i just bought a PROMAC DVD PLAYER MODEL 4002 from that promac store (which also carries Pensonic) at the third floor of Virra Mall.

Please go to the new thread I shall be posting very soon regarding this unit.

But as a teaser, let me just say that the Promac 4002, IF IT WILL NOT BE BREAKING DOWN AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, might just give the NextBase DVD9000 a good competition. A tough one to boot.

Why? Read the thread.

Sincerely,

Went to Quiapo last Saturday to get a hold of the Nextbase DVD player but to my dismay wala pa rin stock si Watson and he's not sure when the new stock will arrive.  Halos kalahating araw kong ginalugad ang Quiapo, Raon and Carriedo.  I saw a new model of Rongxin (DVD-600), aesthetically ang ganda niya (slim and silver in color) tapos loaded with all the features similar with Nextbase (DTS Digital Out, DTS Surround, VCD/SVCD/MP3/CD-R/CD-RW, HDCD, etc.)  di rin namimili ng discs, price is P4,200 (with haggle) unfortunately ubos na rin stock available siya sa Plaza Miranda Mall.  I also saw a SOSING and SAST DVD player sa may Raon Electronic Mall.  But at the end of the day, what I bought is a Xenon 710S sa Abenson coz' ayokong umuwing bigo at walang nabiling DVD player  :P that's when I met a fellow PinoyDVD forumer STAC (Kumusta pare di ka na ba isang bigo?)  :D   I'll be posting my feedback on the Xenon 710S sa other thread... best buy din siya.  ;)

bestbuy88,

What's the karaoke feature of Nextbase 9000?  Basic lang ba siya? Although, you've mention na it does not have the pitch control feature, how about the the echo control feature?


The NextBase DVD9000 does NOT have Karaoke features basically. It has two mic inputs on the chasis but other than that, the only manipulation you can do with songs is to switch either left, right or stereo channels. This will work well with VCD recorded karaoke disc.

What i seek is a dvd player that has PITCH CONTROL. one that will allow you not only to suppress the voice of the singer, but also allow you to manipulate the PITCH of the song into higher or lower levels.

This is present in the Promac dVD2002 that I bought before.

It is also built in into the new Promac DVD4002 i just bought last Sunday.

The pictures of the DVD4002 Promac has been sent to a member of this site and i am hoping he will repost it in the "Promac DVD4002: the new King of generic players?" thread.

hi guys,

first of all, let me thank all of YOU YOU and YOU for coming and visiting this thread that i first posted way way back.

today, i noticed the hits has been around 9500+

konti na lang po at baka umabot na tayo ng 10,000 hits.

hi,

1. the nextbase also played my problematic "south pacific" and "always" (i found it last night) vcd's with no hitches.

2. i tried to put a cd-r which i burnt in my computer cd-rw drive which has both .jpeg files and .mp3 files into the nextbase dvd-9000. what happened was that the nextbase recognized the mp3 files but i cannot make it read those jpeg files. ewan ko paano ang commmand to get away from the mp3 files which are the ones popping out into my tv screen kasi. i tried pusing all the buttons in my remote, away umalis sa mp3 files. HOWEVER, and this i have tried, i did inserted this same cd-r disc into my nextbase PORTABLE dvm9 dvd player and it was able to read and show all the jpeg files in had inside that cd-r disc.

3.  i have yet to think of bestowing the "king's crown" to Promac 4002 until after 6 months of usage to determine if it is a workhorse that will not falter.  so far, the nextbase dvd9000 has proven to be reliable and free from defect, not only by me, but i think by most owners who had bought it.

then he proudly displayed the SONIX and told me its the best daw etc.

i asked if he had other brands. wala raw.

that explained it. explained why he was smooth talking me to buy the sonix, kasi iyon lang pala ang brand na dala niya.

lagot siya.

 ;D I bought for the 2nd time NB9000 from Nintendo HP yesterday. My friend whom I helped bought NB9000 two weeks ago from the same store, was there and was quick enough to have it reserved for me. And again, it was the last stock and display pa (mukhang style ito ng Nintendo)!

A caveat though. The store manager said that it was previously reserved by another guy (sabi from Pinoy daw, sino kaya siya?) but backed out after his Wedding Planner dvd (orig?) failed to play. Still, I proceeded to buy it after 6 orig dvd titles, including a PAL dvd,  played without glitches. Good for my sister, kasi kanya talaga yun.

Tama si VAX, no dvd player, even the branded ones, can be considered perfect at hindi namimili. You just have to exercise good judgment.  Di ba parekoy VAX?

sir blitzkrieg, ako yung kumuha niyan last thurs, then binalik ko nung friday. it did'nt play my weding planner and monster, inc (R3) and Ultimate Jordan Disk 2 special features (esp. the 10 greatest dunks). i did'nt like the unit coz parang na-repair na (daming gasgas, notice the screws at the back) and the manual is obviously very old. ok lang sana yung gasgas and manual kaso yung mga orig na dvd ko na hindi mabasa ng NB ay oks na oks sa Xenon 710s ko kaya ibinalik ko na lang. i hope hindi ka bigyan ng problema ng NB na iyan. ako, hintay na lang ulit ako ng bagong batch ng NB, yung maraming stocks para makapili ng walang gasgas at ma-play lahat ng DVD titles ko. cheers.

hi,

watsons quiapo now has NEXTBASE HOME THEATER DVD WITH BUILT IN TUNER set at 10,300pesos daw.

it consists of a dvd player, slimmer than the dvd9000 but console type pa rin (not portable), built in amplifier for the FM Tuner radio.

5 satellite speakers plus one subwoofer, clothed in greyish fabric.

my opinion: better wait for NBDVD-9000 pa rin and buy your own separate speakers. unless you really like the nextbase's home theater set up. magara naman, in fairness. hindi baduy.

next, saw RHONGSIN dvd player, and my honest opinion, it is a clone of promac dvd-3001 (the one with a strip of mirror like plate on the front face).

sorry but i dont think the model was printed on the front plate. if you can show me the link to their website, probably i can make a confirmation. all i can say is that on the right hand side, there is a round knob and it is for VOLUME. i asked why and the owner said kasi may FM Tuner kaya iyan ang control for the volume of the radio output audio.

now that the holidays are done and i'm back to work, i missed getting back to my post here :)  and BTW, i'm a HE. hehe ;)

for more info about this player, check out the review i previously posted here:

Sushi,

Have you tested kung mayroon talagang DTS decoder?
(hindi iyong pass through for a surround receiver to
decode, ibig sabihin ordinary amp lang ang gagamitin
mo for each of the outputs, front right and left, surround
or rear right and left, front center channel and the subwoofer or bass output).

Also, it claims to have HDCD decoding too, meron nga ba? (having a HDCD decoder is very different from being
able to play a HDCD encoded disc as all DVD players have some sort of playing compatibility).

With that price of 3,800 sana tuloy tuloy na iyong predictions ni Alfie na magiging very affordable pa kaagad iyong china made DVD players.

Just a question about your BEST.

My bro has an earlier version of BEST and it's only flaw is that it cannot play Orig R3 RCE Disks..  I tried Final Fantasy disk 1 and Iron Giant and they both would not play..  Can your BEST play these disks?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD (was:Scarcity in Quiapo)
Post by: sushi on Jan 15, 2003 at 09:37 PM
Roadster,

i've yet to confirm both of your inquiries.

how can you tell if indeed the player is indeed putting out DTS audio? would activating a DTS option on the disc menu and being able to play a DTS-encoded disc —running the player on surround+subwoofer ON suffice? i don't have an amplifier with surround output, but there is noticably a difference in audio depth (and lacking of low bass parts) upon activation of the surround+DTS option on both the disc setup and player setup.

about the HDCD, i have no idea on that, sorry.

jojitb,

i don't have copies of both R3 discs and the titles you mentioned. i will look them up and get a copy and test the discs once i have time.

You use a known DVD disc with DTS audio encoding.
Play it on your DVD with the activate DTS option on.
Listen for the audio from the 5.1 (front L,R, Center,
rear-surround L. R) output by attaching self amplified
speakers to those phono outs or attaching the outs to
ordinary amplifiers to drive speakers.

>about the HDCD, i have no idea on that, sorry.

You have to use HDCD, high definition CD encoded disc,
audiophile audio discs (better encoding protocols than standard cd audio). The first CD's with HDCD encoding were by Reference Recording. These discs are backward playable in ordinary cd players but you won't get the improved sound. This standard or format is competing
with other super Audio formats.

Enumerated features of DVD players are relevant only if they really do have them or if they are really working.
In much the same way that having a "Best Buy" must consider competing working features and not on price basis alone (as for instance DTS decoding as this will save the buyer from the need to purchase a more expensive Integrated Audio Video receiver in order to
have DTS sound).

yeah it's working that way as i previously referred to by setting up the 5.1 surround option on the player and playing the 'Hell Freezes Over' Eagles' DVD in DTS sound. checked the outputs for separate audio signal and each one has a corresponding positional sound.

here's how the output jacks at the back of the Best look like:

about the HDCD, thanks for the input but i'm afraid i won't delve into exploring that.

that's obviously true, but are you suggesting i have put out a questionable review?

i believe i have put out relevant, valid information in my best understanding and effort of providing reliable details despite the fact that i'm no DVD expert.

just to clarify, i have not put out this review in direct comparison to Nextbase features or to directly compete it with the performance of other players because simply — i don't have any of those.

frankly, the DTS feature is not entirely important to me since i found it to be a rare treat amongst majority of DVD titles. i also don't have a bonafide 5.1 theater speaker system to even enjoy just dolby 5.1. the built-in DTS feature is only icing on the cake, and i would still consider the player to be the same value-buy even without it.

i'm only more than happy to share with others the Best player's features that i've enjoyed, and what i've read from its manual and box. i got the player for a great price and it turned out to be more than what i've expected.

it's precisely that it has a lot of working features that made its price stand out.

Sushi,

Thanks for confirming that the "Best" DVD player does have a working DTS decoder. That makes it one up on
the Nextbase.

>that's obviously true, but are you suggesting i have put out a questionable review?

On the contrary, It is the manufacturer's marketing ploy and hype that we consumers are to be wary about. Not just because they labeled the player with HDCD or DTS etc. does it mean that the player does have those working features. Unfortunately, when you posted those directly quoted specs from the manufacturer, we as curious consumers have no recourse but to ask you if you have tested those features and can verify it for us.
We appreciate your kindness in helping us out.

The bigger problem is when forumer's start to label their own preferred products as "best". Simply because everyone is welcome to make postings including people who want to sell and there is no way of verifying the identity and true motivation of that person. We simply give them the benefit of the doubt because we don't even have a standard independent process of evaluating these DVD players. I hope people understand that there is nothing personal in my comments nor do I challenge their honesty and integrity.
We respect their opinions but we can't treat it like it is
Gospel Truth without testing ourselves or inquiring in more details.

If inadvertantly you feel offended, I apologize because that is not my intention. In fact, I welcome your posting
as a counter balance to other recommendations. Based on the DTS decoder and price alone, your opinion has a lot of legs to stand on.

no problem dude. your points well taken.

i will update you guys on verifying that DTS decoder using other discs para makita ko if the output is consistent. the review will be updated as necessary if there is any discrepancy in the info.

for the record, i'm not saying that the Best - is da 'best', hehe ;D.  i'm merely making fun of its obviously baduy branding. i still see this as a humble purchase that has yet to prove itself in the long run against say, other players that stood the test of time.

Dont want to argue but I think It would have been better if you put your Best DVD Player review on a thread on its own cause this is supposed to be the Nextbase thead

====
hehehe meron na pala nakiki-ride lang kayo sa popularity ng thread na to =)

i merely posted here to follow up on my promise to people in this thread to give some info on the Best DVD. i've updated the review post. you can check it out on the new thread i created.

and no, i'm not riding on the popularity of this thread nor am i seeking approval for the player i reviewed.

Hi sushi,

First of all thanks for the reviews and enlightenment on the "BEST" dvd player.
I don't think jngarcia meant it the negative way... for the rest of us, let's not cross post as to make the lives of the moderators easier :)

Thanks everyone for making this place a one stop review site in Home Entertainment Shopping hehe

Question to everyone who has a Nextbase:  Can this player play original R1 DVDs with RCE?  (Spider-Man and The Patriot ata are samples of these)

this might be a stupid question but.... for dvd discs with RCE protection, how do you identify? is it explicitly written? if so, i will go check my R1's kung may RCE markings. give me tip, i might be able to help determine the playability.

bakit, ano po ang player mo na ayaw mag read ng rce encoded?

Hi bestbuy!


First off, thanks to you and fellow PinoyDVDers like you who took their time to help us in finding that elusive "perfect" DVD player.  Your question got me thinking too... kaya I did some research about RCE and here's a site that might be a big help to us.
Regional Coding Enhancement FAQ (http://www.dvdtalk.com/rce.html)

Right now, I don't have a problem playing RCE disks cause my player is an R1 player.  But I plan to buy a DVD player para naman ma-play ko yung R2 disk ko etc.

Thanks in advance for your help!

NEXTBASE can Play RCE DVD (Region1)

and tested it already kasi meron akong DVD na may RCE yung THE ANIMAL.

RCE usually in Original Region 1 DVD Disc and mostly COLUMBIA-TRISTAR HOME VIDEO,
sample titles are:
THE PATRIOT
HOLLOW MAN
THE ANIMAL
CHARLIE'S ANGELS

kasi my player cannot play RCE dvd without intervention kaya alam ko agad pag RCE ang bala.

those inerested to buy the nextbase dvd9000, there is a guy selling this unit posted at the ASSTD BUY AND SELL thread.

go check it out BUT BE SURE THIS IS THE DVD9000 model same as sold by Watsons in quiapo. as i have previously discussed there was an "imitation" dvd9000 sold by that corner store beside nintendo virra mall. it is NOT the same nextbase dvd9000 that i own or majority of the owners in this thread has. be careful. if not sure just remember the original dvd900 has a circular chrome plated ring on the right side housing the play/pasue/rewind/fforward buttons. the imitation does NOT have this and instead just has separate buttons in one horizontal layout.

Post by: bestbuy88 on Jan 23, 2003 at 08:06 AM
xran,

if only i have RCE enabled discs, i could test it for you on my nextbase and promac and sast.

unfortunately i have none.

but then again, since there was a confirmation already that the nextbase CAN play RCE discs, i think better stick to it than the promac4002 simply because i have owned my nextbase since May 2002 and there is no problem yet whatsoever that needs servicing, while the promac was just bought recently and historically, unless Promac has improved technologically, Promac did not USED to have a shiny repuation with their previous dvd model #2002 as far as durability is concerned.........

......though three fellow members here that i know who still owns the promac 2002 swears that it is still working, and accdg to them too, it has been able to play most of the discs they bought unlike before when the promac 2002 was really choosy (just like the SAST). perhaps, the presssing/manufacturing of discs lately has been greatly improved?

sincerely,

bro Xran halos lahat ng disc ay nai-test ko na sa UNION,
R1 (RCE)
R2 NTSC
R2 PAL
R3

ok lahat even
SVCD (Pre & Recorded)
VCD
CDR

and yung MACROVISION na lang ang kulang kasi meron DAW menu doon na pang tanggal ng MACRO to choose.

I'm just sharing all the features na na-test ko dito BUT still I'm not in the position to recommend this product, It's up to you pa din lalo na kung Ikaw ang makakapag-TEST or witness ng Features nyan.

Yep, I saw one unit of s200 in Nintendo Vira Mall when I bought my NB there around three weeks ago. It's not really moving because it is relatively expensive (not compared to branded HTIBs though).

They're selling it for 11,950 but when I asked for their last price, they brought it down to 11,000. Hope this helps.

Nextbase DVD900-S400

mga bros, i was able to get one unit of this new NB slimcase (dvd player shown in pic) together with bro vax kahapon sa watson.
we tested it with the animal r1 rce and my columbia tristar trailers in pal. OKS na OKS.
paguwi ko ng bahay pinakabit agad ng mga kids ko and they were so excited with their own dvd player.  ;)

Went to quiapo today and saw 2 versions of the NB dvd9000 slim type sa may entrada ng Raon shopping mall, the one at the right. The main difference being that one is like the player posted in the s200 pic here and the other has two arrow buttons at the right side, for volume.

Are they both authentic NB?

The_Dementer, I think its a newer version of the DVD9000, sabi ng owner phase out na daw yung nauna. Anyway, you'll find the picture at this site:

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: robertj on Jan 29, 2003 at 02:13 AM

picture jacket - a feature commonly available in Sony dvd players. When you stop the player during playback, instead of the brand logo or any screen saver that usually appears on the screen e yung scanned picture ng dvd disc ang uma appear. Usually titles from Columbia Tri-Star,Warner,New Line,MGM,Criterion has this feature.

thanks woodie! i appreciate your offer, that was a kind gesture of yours. i've decided to buy it myself today at watsons. im not sure kung may stocks pa,meron pa kaya?

to acid, i got a map of SM carriedo vicinity(near watsons), down load it at www.mapcentral.ph
just search for "sm carriedo". honestly, i haven't
been to watsons yet pero, the map with detailed
landmarks and street names might help.  ::)

pwede po bang makahingi ng directions to watson's kung manggagaling sa SM manila? salamat po.

Watson's Camera Shop is located at the corner of P.Gomez and Hidalgo St., the main landmark is the SM Quiapo....otherwise known as the old SM Manila ;) ;D

Now if the SM Manila your'e referring to is the one in Aroceros, take a Jeep going to Avenida Rizal, and once you cross the bridge, ask to be drop where Isetann Avenida is, then look for SM Quiapo,and the street signs. ;) ;D

Woodie- Keep it up Man ;) ;D

Post by: gimper on Jan 29, 2003 at 09:55 PM

Pls do include me among the proud and satisfied owners of Nextbase DVD9000(MDVD17315). I went to Watson's this afternoon around 3:30pm to purchase my unit.I got it at P3,700! Yes, indeed Mr. Philip is courteous and entertained me very well. They gave me 6 months warranty. Dont you worry guys, sa mga gusto pang bumili marami pa raw stocks so far.

By the way, Watson Photo Shop is located at 312 P.Gomez St.Quiapo, Manila. Tel/Fax 7337697. (landmark:behind SM Carriedo). Note: I dont know if they allow phone numbers to be posted here, moderators, paki edit out na lang if ever.

I haven't tested all of the functions but so far it played all my DVDs. I will post other comments and product review maybe next week. So far,I like the aesthetic design, silver,very slim and decent. Sabi ni Philip of Watsons,one of the new features is the REVERB function, parang may preset equalizer na built-in. When we tested it there at their shop, he made a short demo of that new functions.

Btw, Woodie et al, I didn't know there was a mini-gathering of Nextbase fanatics. I wish I could have joined you in the pictorials. I left right away, I was quite in a hurry. Hope to see you guys next time...

Guys, thanks for threads and threads of review.
Special thanks to Bestbuy88!
The discussions and other info really helped.

hi,

im actually buying one nextbase dvd9000/17 slim type from watson this afternoon. but since im stucked at work, i asked my househelpers to buy it for me. i just instructed Philip, owner of Watson, to test it well before giving it to my personnel.

and tonite, i will try to test its versatility.

uh oh.. seems like Promac DVD-4002 will be pushed aside again from its contention to be the new "king" of generics? ehehehehe...

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: vacuumtubes on Jan 30, 2003 at 04:36 PM
ang isa sa mga upgrades ay yung DIALOG CONTROL / LEVEL lalo na kung direct to tv ang installation ng NB para mailakas ang vocals kasi pag wala yun mas malakas ang mga effects.

para lang mamodulate yung volume ng effects and the dialog.

and more to come later.... ;)

how come i have this feeling that... we all will have the same serial number? the sticker seems to be generically printed kasi, despite the bar code.

hmmm.... the user's manual is not thorough again. what is that "field" button on the remote control for? hmm...........

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Jan 31, 2003 at 05:05 AM
hi,

1. FIELD button indeed opens up the many preset audio enhancement like arena, hall, bathroom, concert. I was watching "the good girl" as i pushed the FIELD button. wow pare...it works talaga and you can hear the big big difference of every audio enhancement available. WOW#1

2. When you hit SET-UP button to manipulate settings, the movie you are watching continues to play, it will not stop. PREVIOUSLY, if i am correct, whenever there is a disc playing and you hit SETUP, the movie freezes/stops as you tinker with your setup settings. When you finish and go back to the movie, then the movie starts where it frozen. The slim 9000 does not freezes; it just continues playing the movie even if you are already tinkering the settings in SETUP. WOW#2

3. The BALANCE button shows a graphic equalizer on your screen, though you cannot manipulate it. It just gives various wavelengths that matches the audio being played. this might be a cute feature when playing Audio CD para meron konting "screensaver" ek ek ang TV screen niyo. ehehehe... small WOW#3

4. Sa SETUP, you can now control the Bright, Contrast, Sharpness of the dvd movie you are watching. no need to get up from your couch to change the brightness or contrast of your TV set. The dvd9000slim can do it for you. of course, you can still tinker with the controls of your TV set itself, making the bright, contrast etc, become doubly effective. WOW#4

5. I did tinker with the DIALOG preference under SETUP but I did not hear any big change. Siguro kasi i was watching "the good girl" which is a quiet drama, not heavy with sound effects. Will try it tonite again with a sound effects laden movie. like "fast furious"  soon to be WOW#5

thats all i can share for now. All i can say is IF THE RELIABILITY OF THIS UNIT MATCHES THE PREVIOUS DVD9000 THAT I ALREADY HAVE, WELL.............. THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE "REAL" KING OF DVD PLAYERS MORESO WITH SUCH A COMPELLING PRICE OF 3,700PESOS.

HARD TO BEAT. ITS LIKE HITTING THE BIGTIME JACKPOT.

NextBase....WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!

hindi ito macrovision free!

nagtry akong magrecord sa vhs:
via direct connection &
via tv first and out to NB
still DEHINS MAKA-RECORD!

Paki-clear lang po, mga Bossing. Ano ba yung pinaka-magandang release, performance and feature-wise, na Nextbase DVD player? I saw at Nintendo( Virra Mall ) a slim Nextbase player with a +/- button on the rightmost side of the player, selling for PhP3.9K
OK na ba ito?

hi guys,

i just bought my second unit of the nextbase slim dvd9000/17

opo, second unit. still at 3,700pesos though.

na-a-addictna ako sa feaures nito kasi. grabe. sulit masyado. parang panaginip.

vacuumtubes, retest ka mag tape sa vhs. i remembered parang guru alfie did mentioned that unless your vhs recorder is hifi and 6heads, more often than not, you will not be able to record to vhs even if macrovision is disabled. i hope my memory serves me right!!!

sincerely,

2. difficult to park your car. better just park somewhere in sta cruz church area and walk towards watsons. they are closed on sundays. call them (listed in white pages) for exact location. you wont miss it. its across the back entrance door of shoemart carriedo.

good luck.

Technically yes you can, but it is not recommended because if your're going to connect the speakers directly the sound would just be too low because the NextBase DVD Slim player does NOT amplify the sound. It would be better if you just connect the left and right audio out of the NextBAse to the Aux in of a mini-component.

btw does anybody here tried to run divX files using this new nextbase model??? tia

  I've tried to play DivX files earlier and it did'nt work.

buti ka pa sa wed na magkakaroon.  :). tungkol dun sa 2 speakers na di ginagamit, siguro mas oks kung may amp ka na gagamitin (yung mga sakura amp sa raon, mura na lang). yung gamit ko kase ay amp ng lumang kenwood component (luma as in 1980's pa), stereo amp siya at yung kasama niyang mga speakers pero ganda pa rin ng tunog kahit stereo lang...

Hi Bestbuy, are you are using Insomnia pdvd  to copy to VHS? If that's the case wala na yatang Macrovision sa pdvds. And I think vacuumtubes and Alfie are using origs to copy to VHS. Like you said ayaw sa R1 and R2 pal since sa orig lang mayroon yun Macrovision protection.

unfortunately i will not be able to check using an original R1 dvd to vhs tape kasi both new slim nextbase were sequestered from me by my sister and mother. dinala na nila sa bahay nila. ehehehee...

well, hoping for a third unit soon. if i can afford it. ehehehe..

try adjusting the AUDIO OUT / SPDIF of NB9000 to  SPDIF/RAW. I'm also using NB9000 via digital optical link to my Pioneer VSX D811S-S receiver. Have the same problem before prior to adjustment of the latter.

If problem still persists, you may want to check the Optical Assignment of your receiver (DVD/LD, CD, TV/SAT etc.).

Happy viewing and Goodluck!!

It has a DTS decoder, and possibly(not sure if the old is also capable) the 96/48 audio. ;)

I'm sure na meron itong DTS decoder I've already tried my DTS discs(Gladiator, Fast and the Furious). I'm not using any reciever when playing DTS disc, i've connected it directly to the TV. :)

Hi Alfie!  If that's the case, whenever I use a DVD karaoke disk I will not be able to utilize the 5.1 audio when the mic will be used.  I would be forced to use the rca instead to output the signal of the mic.  It would then be a waste to buy a DVD format disk karaoke and a VCD format would be much pratical.

BTW, a D.I.V.4 appears on the screen after I inserted the Hackers R4 DVD.  What does it mean?

1) Choose a DVD movie/concert with a an existing DTS audio track to be played on the DVD player.

2) Connect your DVD player only via RCA to your TV(better) or amplifier (analog, even mini components will do).

3) Choose the DTS track.(programmable with most titles with DTS track, except for some pirated material which have the DTS audio as it's default track)

4) Sound production will occur on you TV speakers, or on your amp, despite the analog RCA connection.

5) The DTS sign appears on the faceplate of your DVD player.

Current AVR: Pioneer VSX D811S-S. I recently observe that when I use the forward access scene feature, the audio does not conforme with the video. Iba ang bukas ng bibig sa salita. Though this happen only when I do the said procedure. Anything I have to worry about or this is just a minor NB glitch and livable?

naexperience mo na ba yun?  ???

syempre meron at merong lalabas na negative points yan kahit more of positive features.  ;)

  What procedure you usually do to test if a typical dvd player has an on-board dts decoder  ???

1) Choose a DVD movie/concert with a an existing DTS audio track to be played on the DVD player.

2) Connect your DVD player only via RCA to your TV(better) or amplifier (analog, even mini components will do).

3) Choose the DTS track.(programmable with most titles with DTS track, except for some pirated material which have the DTS audio as it's default track)

4) Sound production will occur on you TV speakers, or on your amp, despite the analog RCA connection.

5) The DTS sign appears on the faceplate of your DVD player.

Thanks Alfie!

ok ty mel,
ginagamit ko sa 110 volts my NB and kahit na autovolt pa sya and baka magkaroon ng voltage fluctuations medyo malaki pa yung range na pwede syang mag-regulate. kasi kung 220 na tapos tataas pa ay baka hindi makahabol at masira agad at gastos na maliwanag na naman yun.  ;D
even my TV kahit na autovolt at least malaki ang factor of safety.  ;)
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: Sunfire on Feb 06, 2003 at 10:48 AM
Good news!!!  ;D I have confirmed the following with my NB slim:

1.  The presence of DTS decoder on the unit following the tip from our respected guru - Alfie  ;)

2.  Pressing the PLAY button on the unit while on the MENU SCREEN:  on some titles, this button works while some won't.  The title I used to test the unit's buttons if it is working or not is - Earl Klugh  The Jazz Channel DVD.  It's R1 and DTS as well.  Just be careful in handling with your remote control guys  :D  Baka masira agad eh wala tayong pang-PLAY  ;D  BTW, may nabibili ba na spare ito just in case masira?  ???

3.  JPEG is working flawlessly.  It can even read movie files (.avi .mov) without sound nga lang which I find it really amazing  :o

4.  It's totally region free and RCE hacked.  It plays R1 The Patriot and Braveheart (which if my guess is right are RCE protected) without any problems.

5.  One thing that intrigues me is when I played a Region 4 title Hackers, a D.I.V. 4 appears in bold letters in the middle of the screen with a black background.  Whatever the heck is, has this something to do with DIVX movies?

Kudos to VAX  :)  RAK-RAK, and Bien, how are your units doing?

is there anyone here who owns the previous model NextBase DVD9000 console type, either champagne gold or aluminum silver, in top working condition, and intends to "upgrade" to the new slim Nextbase dvd9000/17 but cannot do so kasi meron na silang previous Nextbase?

well, i might be able to help you.

guys, please post here your intent to "dispose/sell/donate" your previous Nextbase and I will try to find a buyer for you. Of course, the price is the factor. Take into consideration that the new Slim Nextbase is just 3,700pesos, In short, do no expect to sell your former model at 3,700pesos or more. Walang bibili niyan. okay?

I think Asian versions of AV equipment are inclined more to gold and silver colors.  US models have their stuff in black usually.

Skinbanger- I know your predicament at ang pangit naman tingnan na bagets ang kulay ng AV equipment mo.  

Ako nga I exchanged my SAST to a Pioneer DVD player sa HT set-up ko kasi ang SAST (silver) eh di bagay sa Denon AVR (gold).  Ngayon eh NTSC lang ang TV ko kaya nga ako nag SAST pero pangit talaga tingnan kaya sinacrifice ko na ang mga PAL disc viewing ko para lang terno ang AVR ko at DVD player.

Yung SAST eh linipat ko sa kabilang room na Silver naman na Philips multisystem TV ko.  Kaya may internal converter na ang SAST tapos multisystem ang TV ko.  Over kill talaga pero terno naman ang kulay. :-\

Acidburn, good suggestion. I hope someone here can do a comparison review between the "old" and "new" versions of NB. I, too, have the champagne-colored nextbase and would like to know if an upgrade will be worth it.

Here is a brief summary of previous posts as far as I remember. May this help you.

Nextbase DVD9000 (gold) -

1. no DTS, only DTS out (meaning you should buy a DTS capable receiver to enjoy DTS feature)
2. Can't read JPEG. .AVI files
3. Bulky
4. More expensive  (P4,500+)
5. Macrovision enabled (cannot record some Macrovision protected DVD to VHS)

Nextbase SLIM
1. with DTS
2. Able to read JPEG, .AVI files
3. Slim
4. Cheap (P3,700+)
5. Macrovision disabled (can record orig DVDs to VHS)

I had to replace my 2 months old Pioneer 555k with this one. However, I am not sure why if I am on Dolby Digital 5.1 mode, the center speaker sounds too bright while if I cycle to DTS mode the sound is all right compared to when I was using my Pioneer unit.

I sense that the internal 'field' mode is still affecting the sound setting even if I send our SPDIF/raw mode to my Yamaha RX-V795 reciever.

Anyone noticed this?

hi,

my nextbase gold bulky CAN read and tape into my philips 6head vhs hifi recorder all dvd discs, including macrovision enabled R1 dvd movies.

I believe that the nextbase gold is macrovision DISABLED. reagrding the jpeg readability, let me check on it tonight. I am burning some jpeg formatted pics into a cdr and will try it in my nextbase gold.

i can confirm however that the protable dvm9 nextbase dvd player CAN READ jpeg files in cdr disc. nasubok ko na.

Try to adjust the DIALOG level located somewhere in the audio setup of your dvd player.  If nothing happens after doing this, try to adjust the CENTER speaker level setup of your receiver.  I believe the DIALOG adjustment on the player is ideal for player to TV connection only.

Playing DIVX files are yet to be confirmed with this NB player.  I have a R4 Hackers dvd with which after inserting this disc, a D.I.V.4 appears in the middle of the screen in bold letters.  It is an original copy though and I'm not sure if this has something to do with DivX files  ???

Thanks for the info.  ;D I guess it really is worth the upgrade.

A little feedback though, my gold NB can view JPEG images. I've already tried this. Is this a fluke? Or can the gold NB really read JPEG?

I tried testing Assunta CD with JPEGs but it can't read them. "No disc" appears.

Hi-tech,

Assuming you're using the new NB slim, try verifying on a PC CD-ROM if the files on your CD are really .jpg files.  If it were .bmp or some other formats, you would surely not view them.  If it is .jpg, then something's wrong with your player.

It is posted here somewhere that NB gold can't read jpeg files.

NB gold can read jpeg files. I've already tried this a number of times with the collection of wallpapers i burned onto a CD.

I'm referring to NB Gold DVD9000. The files are JPEGs, though I didn't try to burn a cd for purpose of testing if it's capable of reading them.

It is worth a try anyway.  Indie boy's unit can read jpg. and maybe so does your unit.  The one I used for a test is a burned one from a typical cd burner and I didn't encounter any problems with it.

was able to buy nextbase slim at sights and sounds shangri-la. same price as advertised at the inquirer. 3,995.

mas mura sana sa nintendo virramall for 3800, kaya lang 6 months labor lang yata warranty. kaya dun nako sa sights and sounds dahil sa kanila 6 months parts and labor, 1 year labor.

bestbuy88, tuloy parin ba rotation ng disc kapag nag power off ako pa remote, pero di ako nag power off sa unit (standby mode) ?

may mga previous pics dito sa forum and sa kabilang forum na  yung NB s200 player is assumed to be the DVD9000/17 slim type. it is not :-)

kung confirmed na NB slim type can play .AVI files, can someone try if DIVX files can also be played with audio.

will the player look automatically for avi files and play it, or would the menu be like the menu shown when an mp3 disc is loaded.

yun lang po :-)

What's the difference anyway. I tried using the disk with JPGs in NB Slim and it works, meaning the NB gold cannot read JPEGs. :(

I noticed the synch problem only with Pirated DVDs.

I have yet to experience one with the original R1 and R3 that I have, furthermore, it's usually exhibited when the player hasn't been warmed up yet, and once it does exhibits the out of synch audio, all you have to do is press the audio to the different tracks and the audio synch back to the video dialogue. ;) ;D

Noticed this problem, too when I play R1 Singin' In the Rain.  What I did is open and close the tray.  When Play was pressed, it became already synchronized.  So far, that's the first time it happened and my unit is still on the break-in period.  ;)

Hello! I'm new to DVD, and I want to buy this NextBase DVD-9000-17 you're talking about, but dunno where or how...

I asked some sellers at Greenhills if they have this Nextbase player, then they give weird answers to me, obviously trying to persuade me to buy their generic player. Sabi nila Nextbase daw yung player nila (may Sony logo na dikit lang kaya obvious na hindi Sony nor Nextbase), yokong maniwala.

I quite clumsy at buying things, can you describe what the player looks like? Where can I buy this player? Thanks.

I have bad experience in buying generic vcd before . It overheated and the ics are roasted.The salesman at sights and sound mention that the nextbase slim will probadly overheat faster than the flabby one.Is this a fact? Pareho lang ba ang clarity ng nextbase at any given branded dvd?

Hi eyes. Welcome to PinoyDVD.
Maybe you've a point that slim players may overheat faster, but it depends on how you use it. Even flabby ones get overheated if you use it, let's say 24 hrs a day. To play safe, I suggest that you place the unit in a cool place (with ventilation) and use it not more than 8 hrs continuously or pahingahin mo muna once in a while.

So far naman from the reviews here about nextbase slim, this is a good buy considering the price and features.

Regarding the picture clarity, you cannot notice the difference against the branded ones.

So, depende rin siguro sa generic brands kung bibigay siya kaagad. Actually, I have a generic VCD player pero OK pa naman hanggang ngayon.

Nandun yung risk, so if you plan to buy one, yung bilhin mo ay yung may good reviews and tested na ng mga PinoyDVD members  like the Nextbase slim.

Good luck!  ;)

Based on my experience, a no. of hours of continuous use doesn't generate much heat unlike any branded players, i.e. Sony DVP-S335

Personally okey yung NB-S200 HTIB for the P10k price lalo na sa mga naguumpisa sa HT considering na hindi mapili sa disc yung player and may built-in amp pa.

And upgradeable pa din kailangan mo na lang bumili ng AVR & Big Subwoofer and magagamit mo pa din ang 5pcs speakers nyan.

i will always go for gadgets as stand-alones than part of a set. so my answer has to be dvd9000/17 slim from among the choices you gave (s200/s400) beside, value for money dictates that the dvd9000/17 slim is the better buy.

guys,

called up Watsons today to buy 5 more dvd9000/17 slim. OUT OF STOCK TILL TWO WEEKS PA RAW SIGURO.

to those who have not bought and procastinated, ANG SUMPA, NAGKAKATUTOO NA! eheheheehe...

Bro, I also went to Sights and Sound yesterday to purchase Nextbase s200.  Well, out of stock nga.  And mukhang hindi pa sila sure kung kelan magkakaroon ulit, so I rushed to Makati Cinema Square and purchased the last s200 at Nintendo.  

And I love it!  Although, mas ok sana kung active yung subwoofer but for less than 10k, who am I to complain?  And pwede naman mag-upgrade ng subwoofer.   8)

Guys,

tried last weekend my NB slim for marathon viewing (5 hours of continous movie to be exact) and I discovered something troubling. Maybe due to heat generated by  extended viewing, it causes the NB slim to "hang" as in it hanged. To be sure that it's not the disc but the player, I immediately played the same disc on the same track on my other DVD player (Panasonic) and no hanging occurs.

I let the NB cool down for 15 mins. and the anomaly  disappear just like that. I can't seem to find the "grill" wherein you can put an extra fan or anything for cooling purposes.

Maybe it was so designed for a movie or two but not for an extended period of time considering the physical structure of NB (no provision for air circulation). Another reason maybe was it's originally intended for cold countries (i.e. North America) distribution where climate is always cold & freezing.

Just my observation.......

Most probably, the 'hanging' problem is due to overheating.  NextBase gets even hotter than my PC.  I noticed that the day I purchased my S200 that's why I looked for a blower the following day.  

Anyway, yung top ng player ng S200 eh butas butas.  That's the grill that I was referring to, and I'm not sure if that exists in other models.  Nakapatong yung blower ko, just like how a fan is placed in a motherboard.  8)

Post by: firestorm on Feb 26, 2003 at 09:40 PM
I got one NextBase DVD-9000 yesterday at Mayer for my friend. But while testing it at home it suddenly ejected the disc and there was a weird sound coming from the drive and the screen will just flicker and none of the buttons on the player or remote would respond. The drive tray was still out and all I could was turn off the power. With the power off I could push in the drive tray but when I turned the power back on nothing is display on the screen or the led display on the player but the red power light is on. After shutting it off for 30 minutes, it worked again and after another 20 to 30 minutes of testing the same thing happened again. I tried it 4 times and the same sequence of events happened over & over. So I took it back today and refunded my money since no other unit was available and told them to call me when the new stocks arrive next week daw.

With the little time I had testing I was able to test
1. VCD copied on a CDR - OK, no problems
2. MP3 copied on a CDR - it has no option to play the entire disc only 1 folder at a time.
3. JPG files on a CDR - same as mp3 no whole disc play option.
4. MPG files on a CDR - it would play any mpeg file even if it's not VCD encoded ( it would not recognize any Avi or DIV-X files)
5. PDVDs - had one title that would not play at all before on a SAST, Nextbase DVD-9000(Old model), Nextbase portable and ASUS DVD-ROM. But it played on this player at least up to the halfway point of the movie where it started to skip and freeze ( I guess me problem talaga yun disc).

I'm thinking the unit I got was a factory defect but from the time it would work it was ok and I still think it's the best player considering the price and features. I would buy one myself when the time comes that I need to replace my SAST.

mga DVD gurus:
ano ang marecommend niyo na speaker system, either originally 5.1 (for PCs para mura lang) or assembled na trying hard to sound like a 5.1 speaker na pwede iterno sa binabalak kong bilhin na NextBase DVD-9000? tight budget tayo kaya sana ang recommend niyo yun kahit yun chipipay na pwede-pwede na para sa newbie dvd enthusiast.

now HOW will i connect these speakers if the only audio output from the mdv1 is its analog left/right/video rca outputs and its digital out connector. from what i know the 5.1 speakers are terminated by three stereo mini-jacks.

ouch! i also have a panasonic player which also has  only a left/right and video aside from the digital outputs.
from what i know, to use the 5.1, i have to buy an avr to recieve the digital output then connect that via dual rca to stereo to my creative inspire. since AVRs are costly, i opted to buy the nextbase slim instead.

hmmm... im also wondering if technicians could place additional outs? i doubt if there is any other way without an AVR although im no expert.

another lemming joins the rush...

i just bought a NB DVD9000 myself at Nintendo-GH for PhP3800 yesterday -- mostly due to the wave of popularity it has generated here at pinoyDVD.  Incidentally, NB players were all over the 2nd flr shops at Virramall.  I spotted slim, slim with hometheater(s200), and two versions of the portable (one was about 2/3 the size of the other).  sorry, but i didn't really take note of the prices.  i was just looking for the console player.  the cheapest i saw for that was PhP3700, but only 3 months warranty.  i figured Nintendo was the best vendor.

All the features seem to have been adequately described on previous posts (i just spent about two hours going through this enitre thread).  but i do have a bone to pick with this player.  there is an annoying little icon that appears on the screen when i zoom in on the screen.  i was hoping that it would disappear after a few seconds, but it just stayed there for the entire movie.  i tried holding down the zoom button on the remote, and fiddling with the OSD button, but to no avail.  does anyone know how to get rid of it?

i also found this question that nobody seems to have answered yet.  i'm curious about it myself.

i have a question regarding dun sa TV DISPLAY SETUP. what's the difference between 4:3/PS and 4:3/LB?

TIA

PS is Pan & Scan- the player will acknowledge instructions to enlarged the data to full screen, however the  encoded data should be in  PAN and SCAN, simply, it's a sort of anamorphic for Full Screen monitors.

LB Letterboxed, if this is the setting chosen, an anamorphic WIDESCREEN or a PAN & SCAN encoded DVD will be viewed as a WS, with black bars on both top and bottom, despite it's anamorphic/P&S added functions, in a nutshell...view as it is. ;) ;D

Hi Everybody,

I recently purchased the illusive Nextbase DVD 9000 slim.  Its a wonderful DVD player that plays everything from DVDs (any region orig & p-type), (x)VCDs, (x)SVDs, MP3s, Picture CDs and even DVD+/-R.  It also plays files from the DVD-R UDF format.  Its like a computer inside a slim package  :D.   BTW, it has a on board DTS decoder that downmixes to the two RCA (L/R) connectors.

What can I say... It's the BEST! 8)

I noticed that more nextbase units are being used as testers for the pdvds being sold. saw about 4 to 5 units. it seems that even our pdvd sellers are realizing that nextbase is a better player. or is it just because more units of nextbase are now available and its price is lower than most if not all generic players? probably , all of the above!!!

I got my NextBase DVD-9000/17 last month, based on recommendations I found here at PinoyDVD, and I must say I'm very, very happy with it. At first, I just got the NextBase as an 'intro to DVD', before I get a name-brand player. But now, I'm considering buying the S200 or S400 instead.

I've also strongly recommended the unit to several friends (3 of them have bought it and are satisfied), and to the people at PinoyExchange.

Nakakatuwa kasi talaga. I think it's the best value-for-money DVD player ever.

there is a co-member who has this problem with his nextbase slim. do you ALL have same experience?

its not about the price. i have no info or control over it. suffice to say, if the peso continues to deteriorate, baka hindi bumaba ang nextbase price. either stand still or worse, go more expensive.

just like the nikon lens 50mm they used to sell 4,800. after six months naging 5,800 purely due to peso deterioration.

just wait tillnext week when i post the bulletin. ehehehe.. bitin ba?

Post by: bestbuy88 on Mar 21, 2003 at 05:16 AM
for the record (and i hope some will put in their inputs also on points i cannot confirm completely):

1. my nextbase silver aluminum dvd9000 (with crhome circular ring on right side housing the play/pause etc buttons) is still working condition. average usage is 4 dvd per week. acquired probably july 2002.

2. my nextbase champagne gold dvd9000 (with chrome ring also like #1) is still working also. acquired this late august/september na yata. THREE UNITS.

3. I still cannot confirm if both the silver aluminum and champagne gold first generation dvd9000 i own has built in dts decoder. i tend to believe it is just a pass through since it CAN read dts track but WILL NOT produce the audio if the set up is audio out direct to audio in of your TV set.

4. I cannot confirm 100% but i can say 80% probably both silver and gold dvd9000 cannot read .jpeg files from cd-r/rw discs.

5. I am very pleased with the dvd9000 i owned above. this is the bulkier version, not the slim new version.

6. HOW TRUE IS IT THAT THE SLIM DVD9000 NOW BEING SOLD AT WATSON INDEED HAS LIP SYNCH PROBLEM? IF ALL YOU SLIM DVD OWNERS HAVE THAT SAME PROBLEM, I THINK IT IS A BIG CONCERN, ISNT IT? I THINK IT IS IRRITABLE.

7. I bought my slim Nextbase dvd9000 from Watson (2 units) but in less than 2 days, both were taken away from me by force by my friends who saw it when i set it up in my office. That is why i cannot give a 100% analysis of the unit. Neither can i quantify if the slim Nextbase indeed has a built in dts decoder na.

8. Finally, I think i want again to confirm that the UNION brand dvd that you see displayed in SM Appliances is indeed the same unit as our bulky first generation NextBase DVD9000. Nag-iba lang sa logo ng brand!! And the price is steep!! i think SM Appliances is selling the UNION at around 6k while the last bulky NextBase DVD9000 i got was 4,300pesos only from Watson (last year late september)

just wanted to share. note that this is NOT the bulletin i am referring to. the news bulletin will arrive next week. hang in there. but it has no bearing at all to those who intend to buy a nextbase today. promise, no bearing at all. kaya do not wait for my bulletin before buying the nextbase.

unless you are worried about the lip synch problem of the slim nextbase, then think twice before investing. seems like if the lip synch is a problem, the next best brand to go is either UNION or XENON.

sincerely,

bestbuy88

4. I cannot confirm 100% but i can say 80% probably both silver and gold dvd9000 cannot read .jpeg files from cd-r/rw discs.


I'm 100% sure. Mine is Nextbase Gold DVD9000 ( the one with circular button on the right side).

Got a Xenon 810 last year and somewhat satisfied.  Mapili sa disks  and remote was not user friendly.  From this thread, i was convinced by its great specs/price that I bought a slim NB9000 last week
It played ALL my problematic dvd's.  

Triple wow! great buy.  My friends plan to buy too.  Thanks , pinoydvd, and to all you guys!

UNION has the digital echo and pitch control Karaoke features pati yung digest features ng Xenon 810  :o hence, in my honest opinion is the best buy and the ultimate DVD player  :D downside is its steep price nga lang...  :P

Union has two models, at least those ive seen in SM Appliances.

one is the nextbase bulky first gen dvd9000 clone.

the other is a clone of either promac or xenon. it is this clone that perhaps monzki is referring as the one with echo pitch control, definitely NOT the clone of nextbase which does NOT have echopitch controls at all.

had the same prob with my portable nextbase, its not a heating problem although the unit really packs up a lot of heat. the problem lies with the lenses (if my observations were correct). when the unit reaches half of the movie, the lenses would turn-off or somethin' like that. i observed this by watching the player read a disc while the lid was open. it almost always stops readin' the disc in the middle of the movie. at first akala ko rin e dahil sa disc pero i tried other titles from regions 1 to 3, and even p*dvds pero ganun pa din.

buti nlang at covered pa ng warranty from Watson,s. :D so off to Carriedo i went, and without a question, they replaced my unit with a new one. :D

by the way, regarding the heating problem, since walang fan na magfi-fit sa loob ng porta, i bought an auxilliary fan na pang PC and made a casing for it out of dvd keepcases and placed it under the porta. :D so ngayon, cool na lagi yung player ko at hindi pa obvious na my fan sya sa ilalim. ;D

Bluebeard,

actually, hindi ko sya kinonek sa 12V power supply ng porta. what i did was i connected the fan sa isa pang adaptor, so may sarili syang power supply. ;D  baka kasi maapektuhan yung performance nung player e. bababa kasi yung current kapag dun ko pa ikakabit sa power supply ng porta.

To play a DVD in your NB Slim without having to use the remote control, please try the following steps:

Upon seeing the disc's program menu come into view.
press the STOP button TWICE and then press the Play button (once) and the DVD will start playing (without the need to use a remote to start playing).  Please post your results.  I hope this works with your NB Slim players too.

NB Slim prices are falling - you can now get it for 3,500 to 3,600 (with free microphone) in Quiapo depending on how well you haggle.  They usually give a one year service warranty (sorry you have to pay for the any parts replaced) but they have a 4 month quick replacement policy for any defective units.  

Bestbuy, how true is it that the next NB Slim model will be coming out soon (after the present batch is sold out) equipped with karaoke echo  and pitch control (which is lacking in the present NB Slim) and that it will also include the ability to read DIVX and WMA files as some DVD players (e.g. Apex)?

I can't wait for the next NB Slim model (with echo and pitch control plus DiVX capability) to come out.  Magkano kaya ang magiging price nito?  Is this the reason why the current NB Slim players are being sold for only 3,500 to 3,600 pesos  with one year warranty being given by some stores?

I am also eagerly awaiting Bestbuy's update on NB players.  
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Mar 30, 2003 at 08:27 PM
boyisnu,

i go for watsons simply because it is walking distance to me; they also sell film cameras that i buy a lot since im a photography enthusiast. i like to create a goodwill with watson so that in future, like if i should encounter some problem with nextbase, aalalayan nila ako kasi suki ako.

ive never bought from mayer's kasi ang gulo gulo ng store nila. and they seem a little unfriendly, at least to me.

i cannot comment on nintendo or ghills kasi malayo sa akin iyon. safe to say that watson is a single proprietor store, and im talking direct with Philip, the owner. if i have problem, i know whom to talk with. buying your gadgets from nintendo or ghills means you are dealing with EMPLOYEES of the store. pag may problema, mahihirapan kayong makipag=usap, lalo na kung commission basis ang salesman, or day off ng salesman. Even buying from shoemart appliances is a hassle when it comes to after sales service. kasi they have to do everything by-the-book; walang shortcuts. so thats a bit of an offputting thing for me to make them less attractive to deal with.

so, go watsons.

For those of you na big deal ang digital echo and pitch control (which NB slim doesn't have  :-X)

Guys,

Have been following this thread for quite a while now.  Thanks for all the input.

I've been increasingly considering getting a NB slim to add to my audio/video set-up.  I presently have a two-year old Philips DVD player, but while it performs well, I get very irritated when it does not read all the discs I feed to it.  

For that reason, I am thinking of getting the NB.  This way, I will dedicate the Philips for audio, and I will use the NB for video, particularly the "p" kind.

However, I realize that I no longer have any room in which I can put the NB.  My question:  Will it be alright if I just put it on top of my Yammy receiver?  No electronic interference whatsoever?

Thanks, and please keep posting.

It should work. In my case, I replaced my Pioneer DVD-555k player with the NB slim type. I just put an extra rubber spacer underneath so that the Yamaha RXV-795 exhaust slots won't have problems.

jackryan, we have the same receiver.  I must say that putting extra rubber under the feet of the NB is a good idea.  Do you still use the Pioneer player?  If you do, how did you manage with all the connections to the receiver?  I was sort of planning to connect my Philips player to the CD input, while I intend to connect the NB to the DVD player input.  On the other hand, nanghihinayang ako sa lahat ng interconnects ko (I even have a Monster digital interconnect cable between my Philips and my 795.

slightly off-topic, using composite video for my nextbase direct to the Sony projection tv and the audio part using coaxial digital connection to the RXV-795. The xbox system is using the SVIDEO and hooks up using the optical fiber connection to the 795 yammy. The other components such as Sony VHS/8mm, Sony 400cd player via an Onkyo spectrum analyser/equalizer, Sony double-cassette decked are hooked to the extra Yammy ports.

Everybody raves about the Nextbase 9000. So, tell me, what are the NEGATIVES about it?

Second question: is the DVD player in the Nextbase S-400 the 9000? If not, is the player in the S-400 better/worse, and why?

Finally, what's a good price for the S-400. I heard it's not easy to find, but at least if I spot it, then I'll know what a good price range is. For the Nextbase 9000 player, I know it's 3,500 in Quiapo area, and 3,800 to 3,900 in Virra Mall area.

I noticed that my NB Slim freezes (Split-second) at times when playing VCDs.  Hindi naman ito madalas - siguro it happens once in every 5 or 6 VCDs that I play.   So far hindi ko pa ito napapansin when palying DVDs. I'm sure the VCD is not the problem as I've played it many times before on other VCD and DVD players and see no problem with it.  Aside from that, all the other features work well.  My NB Slim is barely one month old.

I'm also planning to join the Nextbase bandwagon pero may question lang ako.  Does the player's analog audio out (the rca pair that you connect to the TV) and the sub-out constantly give out signal? Can they both be used at the same time, like connecting the analog audio-out to an amp and connecting the sub-out to an active sub??.  Thanks  ;D

May tanong lang po ako.  Meron po akong p* disc na ayaw magplay sa NB ko po pati sa Philips na player pero nagplay po siya sa DVD-ROM.  Bakit kaya ganun?  ??? NoDisc po yung dinidisplay nya tapos ang tagal mag load... pero sa DVD-ROM walang problem.

based on the comments of the new NB owners, it looks like the NB slim experiences a lot of problems compared to the old champagne model. Can anyone confirm this?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: robertj on Apr 12, 2003 at 07:08 AM
based on my experiences with the 2 NB. the NB slim is the better player of the 2. It reads all disc that the NB champagne can't read or having trouble loading them, it has video adjustment, delay settings for the built-in decoder. The main drawback of the NB slim is LIP SYNC issues. Grabe, pano kaya nakalusot sa QC nila ito. I have tried a number of NB slims and all exhibited the same problem.

Post by: robertj on Apr 14, 2003 at 10:37 AM
The reason that the NB slim is much cheaper is bec. it is utilizing the Mediateks MT1369 chipset which is equipped with its own video encoder, unlike the previous model na me separate chip. Bale one chip solution sya kaya mas mura.

I also have the NB slim... however, have not encountered the lip sync problem... may correlation ba eto sa potential head problem nito?

also, sir robertj, can you kindly share the Radioshack code to program this on a Kameleon remote?

Vacuumtubes - Tnxs man. That solves my problem  ;D. I've been asking around here how to most effectively setup a DVD player, a stereo rcvr, and an active sub. If what you say is possible then I'll just connect the player's main L/R audio RCA (NOT the fronts) to the stereo rcvr. Then activate the the sub-out and connect it to an active subwoofer. Okay lang sa akin na I separately adjust the volume of the sub over the other speakers. What's important to me is the LFE sound of a DVD movie, which you can only get from the sub-out. I'm off to buy a Nextbase  8). Sana may stock pa sa Watsons.

Tnx again Bro.

Tnx.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: Philander on Apr 23, 2003 at 01:42 PM
AFAIK,

You can't turn on the Sub-out if you do not set your audio out to analog 5.1 channel.

The main L/F (stereo) audio will be also incorporated as the front's L/R (L/R of the 5.1 channel). Meaning they will sound the same.

If my findings are wrong, I will stand corrected. Anyway, its for ours rin naman eh.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: vacuumtubes on Apr 23, 2003 at 02:12 PM
“You can try” this setup if you are using the simple left and right audio output only to your tv or stereo amp and subwoofer output to an active subwoofer.

Goto speaker setup:
Downmix = LT/RT
Frontspeaker = SMALL
Center = OFF
Rear = OFF
Subwoofer = ON
Post DRC = OFF

Goto 3D Processing / Remote Control:
Field = usually OFF specially in audio cd but it depends in you like Living Room for example and if you’re watching a movie a trial & error will do.  ;)

Goto Channel Delay:
0 cm. for all parameters

All your ideas are good and accepted and sometimes we need to experiment according to our taste or moods.

Please share your experience regarding this setup so we can do some necessary adjustments/corrections too.  ;)

Okay. I'll experiment, like a mad scientist, hahaha!!  ;D. av_phile also had some great suggestion (under the "DVD with sub-out" thread). His ideas involves using the Pre-out of the rcvr (connect it to the low-level inputs of the sub), or the speaker L/R output of the rcvr (connect it to the high-level inputs of the sub). These options though won't produce amplified LFE sound, just amplify the bass sound from downmixed L/R audio.      
May thanks to you vacuumtubes and philander. Excited na akong mag set-up ;D.

Just bought a NB slim at Watson's for P3.5K ;D. I was able to talk to the owner,  Philip (nice guy), regarding the concern of most NB owners and those planning to own one -  the lip sync problem. He said this problem seems to be common to the batch of units delivered prior to February 2003. Factory defect???...who knows. According to him, the Feb. and later batches do not manifest the said problem anymore. Sabi rin ng isang friend ko who bought his unit a week ago na wala naman siyang napapansing lip sync.  Even in concert DVDs, where the problem reportedly is more evident. I still have to test my unit though  ???. Keeping my finger's crossed. If the bug is indeed gone, this player is really a great buy ;D.

just bought me a nextbase based on the recommendations here... its indeed a nice player. even compared to my toshiba sd5300a (w/ dvd-audio, hdcd, pscan) it can hold its own.

a plus for the nextbase is that it has switcheable ntsc/pal output. my tosh outputs pal by default and only switches to ntsc with an ntsc disc, no way to switch it at will, unlike with the nextbase where you can switch it back and forth.

They're not. It's just that Nintendo is one of the more established companies that carry Nextbase, especially when the brand wasn't still that well-known. One thing that also helps in its recall is that it has many branches kaya mas maraming members na doon na lang bumibili instead of going to Quiapo. I myself bought my NB at Nintendo Virra Mall.

Title: NEXTBASE Problem/s?
Post by: Onion Skin on Apr 28, 2003 at 12:15 PM
Hi DVD enthusiasts,

I just bought an NB DVD9000-S400 at watson last friday, and i found some problem with it. It doesn't have the lip sync problem but the one thing I've noticed was that there was a sound freezing or (sound skipping as you may call it?) and its kind of irritating when listening on the sounds of the dvd being not straightforward, when you try to listen and grasp the fullness of sound being cut-off by a few ticks of a second.  I have tried several dvds which were already been tried and tested on another nextbase s400 player w/o problem but got the same skipping on my player.  I also tried stress test on the player without fan and after 3 or 4 dvds, the skipping was gone. On the next day (after its cooled down) I tried to same dvd again and skipping re-appears. The video was ok though, and the color display of the component output was really good.  I do suspect that the player i've recently purchased has some defect/s. Anybody there who got the same problem?

I really appreciates your feedbacks.

Sooooo.... adc.

Oh, the one thing I really like about the s400 player is the settable gains of each channel output from -10dB to +10dB. So you can pre-select the gains (loudness) of each channel. The frequency response is also good for the subwoofer.

Hi cebuyas_bombay,

I just bought as well my S400 at watsons but have no problem found on it. In fact, I'm very satisified with its performance. The HT was great with a hi-fi sound. Same here I'd like the features of independent gain adjustments on every speaker. This is great for an irregular room area where you can tune-in the level of sound to the listener.

I would suggest that you ask watsons to replace your unit. Don't forget to bring your DVD's with you to check the player.

Regards,
Aaron

Nope! The center speaker is of different size as compared to its satellites. Just a typical center speaker shape (horizontally upright) where you can place it on the top of television.

You can try going to the Raon Shopping Center (Near the corner of Quezon Blvd and Raon (Gonzalo Puyat St.) and scour the shops there (3 or 4 offering NB Slim).  Kung wala na diyan, go to the new shops on the opposite side of Raon and Quezon Blvd.  From the corner of Raon and Quezon Blvd., walk towards the Quiapo Church about two or three doors away on your right and you will find small shops inside.  Hint: there's a lotto outlet just at the entry to these small shops and on the second or third store to your left, you can find the store selling theNB Slim which they were selling for 3,300 pesos last week or 3,400 with microphone.  I'm not sure if they still have stocks left.  Last week, they still had 5 units left.  If all else fails, try going to Watson (near SM Carriedo) but I think they have it for 3,500.  Mas mahal pero it's still worth it (iba pa rin and NB Slim)...

Last advice:  Get the latest batch of NB Slim (those after the first week of March 2003) as previous batches (pre March 2003) reportedly have encountered lip-synch problems.  Good Luck.

This is according to Robertj

If you are going to get a NB make sure that you get the new batch. Iba ang font ng setup menu nya compared dun sa luma. One quick way to check if its the new batch is when you stopped the player while playing a dvd, dapat yung PRESS PLAY TO CONTINUE na lalabas sa TV is in blue background. Alam ko dati sa luma di blue e.

Instead of buying 1 branded DVD HT setup, I'm seriously considering buying 2 nextbase S400s for my new house... I have some questions lang before I finalize my decision..

Is the S400 good enough for a big room (approx 4x6 meters)?  I don't really need a loud system... Just enough to hear the effects...  

Kaya ba ng our friendly-neighborhood technician i-repair ang Next-base players in case masira ito after the warranty period?

Any new HT models coming up?  I will be moving in to my new home by October. When's the right time to make to purchase?

redisol,

try to audition first the nextbase S400 before you decide to buy one. bring DVDs (orig and p-disc), audio CDs then let your eyes and ears decide whether the S400 is good enough.

btw, my friend who bought an NB slim inform me that a guy from Watsons admitted to her that the Nextbase S400 has problem on playing some DVDs "namimili".

The new NB slim uses a new chipset. The Mediatek MT1379. This chipset is progressive scan capable. But I'm not sure if NB uses this feature on their unit. LIP SYNC is not noticeable on the new chipset (NB), but momentarily pause during dvd and vcd playback are present. I will bring my unit to where I got it and ask for a replacement. The momentarily pause is not present on my Sony player so it's not on the disc.

just wondering ... as part of the feature list in the ad,  along with dts logo and dolby logo... i saw the macrovision logo!!

hmmm. does this mean macrovision enabled na yung mga new models???

sayang naman if it is. i was thinking pa naman of saving up to buy a second dvd player (so that i can finally watch PAL dvds.)   ;)

green_archer,

the "portable NB" is the so called DMV4 model as seen in the pic below:
(http://www.next-base.com/e003/images/dmv4.jpg)

while the "mini-portable" is the newer and smaller model, also known as the MDV1, as seen below (medyo malaki nga lang ang pic. hehehe. ;D).

have you tried goin to the "set-up" menu? i think its under "preferences". ::) there you'll see a sub-menu for the splash screen or what ever you call that and you could change colors from there. ;) just dunno kung meron nga sa NB nito pero malamang meron (saw it sa "Orange" brand dvd player ng cousin ko). ;D

hope this helped.
phantom 8)


Corrrection: Screen is originally orange in color. I must have been thinking of another player  ;D.
Nonetheless, The color of the screen which shows the NEXTBASE logo turned washout yellow, as in faded  :o. Here's what I found out. I had both my NB and XBOX videos connected to my TV's sole video in. I figured that this is okay since you can only use one equipment at a time. Big mistake!! Even if the xbox is turned off (not even plugged in),  it's causing some interference to the video signal of the NB. Kindda weird actually. I imagined this could occur if both units are turned on....feeding 2 video signals at the same time to the TV. Anyways, to solve the problem, I used an A/V selector box. That way I just select what signal to feed to my TV  :D.  

By the way phantom, I didn't find anything in the preference menu (or any menu) where you can change the color. Yung option to select menu type meron. This option changes the color of the menu. Thanks anyway for your reply. ;)

The weird thing is naka-ilaw sa player yung DTS logo. Anyone here have that problem? Should I get this replaced?

And also I'm a little annoyed that the remote control of NB9000 acts on my Ganz Klar amp!  :o Nag-bro-browse ka lang ng menu and something will happen sa amp ko (i.e. mawawalan ng sound or mamatay). Same thing happens with the GK amp remote. Maybe they're operating on the same IR frequency or somethin'.  ???

yung dts na logo na yun eh for DTS digital out (i couldnt find any mention of dts decoder or dts sorround sa packaging, manual and on the player itself), meaning it can output the DTS bitsteam via the optical or coaxial digital out for decoding via a suitable av receiver.

yung onboard decoder nya eh for dolby digital.

I am sure that the new NB slim has a built-in dts decoder. Try changing your settings in the Audio Setup menu. Regarding your Nb remote controlling your GK amp, the only solution I can think of is to put your NB away from the amp para walang maging problema.

my 2-month old NB slim suddenly won't turn on without any reason. nung pinalitan ng new unit, nakita ko sa manual nya na yung dts and vcd logos nya ay pinatungan ng sticker. the dts feature is quite understandable but why hide the vcd feature? tapos everything mentioned regarding vcd was blacked out. could this be the reason why my player suddenly gave up on me??? coz i've only played dvds and vcds. has anyone experienced problems with video cd playback?

i've also noticed that the setup menu was quite different from the previous one. so new batch na siguro 'to. napansin ko rin na playback does not resume from a "standby" state. can someone confirm this kung ganyan talaga. one big difference i saw was the "dts option" under audio setup! so this could finally put an end to the speculations about on-board dts capability. unfortunately, di ko pa natest if its working or not :)  
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: v0elker on May 06, 2003 at 08:45 AM
the dts option ur referring to is the one under the spdif submenu right? if thats the case, then i think those are merely options for the dts signal that is sent out via the digital outs (coax/toslink). if thats the case then its still no proof that the nb slim has on-board dts "decoding".

I sell NB to my officemates so I know that this unit has dts decoding built in. I tried it by using the analogue out then connected directly to my TV stereo input. Di ko kabisado yung audio set-uo menu para isa isahin ko pa sa inyo on how the dts on board decoding works. Actually it's very easy. Insert a dvd with dts track. select that option. while playing the dvd you can hit the setup menu and go to audio set up menu and play with the different setting at pag may tunog na speaker mo de ayos na. NB manual is not accurate or reliable on how this things work kaya dapat mag experimen kayo. you can always hit the default setting kung alam nyong palpak na ginagawa nyo.

hello NB  fans,

After a long while...and consulting NB gurus like robertj, alfie, woodie, vacuumtubes... I have finally got myself a NB slim unit. This is the new breed which has no lip-synch problems as previously noted with earlier models. Dont fret if there are no DTS and VCD logos. ALL formats work well!! DVD, DVD-R, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and  JPEG ; NTSC and PAL files plays well like clockwork!It has DTS capabilities but decoding wise i'm not so sure, since i use my receiver decoder for DD and DTS functions. I also use a  PIONEER DV - 525 but since it wont read some * discs i gave it a rest till i get a bigger rack. P 3,500 was really worth every peso! :)

Philip of Watsons told me to bring my unit for replacement but I already installed the mini fan inside and sayang din naman. Anyway nareremedyuhan naman and my son is enjoy and sanay na gamitin yung NB slim nya.

With DTS decoder even direct to TV hook-up or just an stereo amplifier.

Well, if your on tight of budget go for S400. It has a different body as compared to that of NB 9000 slim stand alone player. Maybe they have the same circuitry and just only added an amplifier/decoder for Dolby digital and DTS (analog out) that is why it is 25% more wider than the NB slim stand alone. But beware that it dissipates more heat (due to amplifier power supply) and this caused skipping on video and audio. So, there's a need for you to buy an exhaust fan to control heat and then works okay. Furthermore, there's another problem found on S400. There is a succesive freezing of audio/video on some p* disk. But this can be correct if you stop and eject  then start loading again the p* disk. I'm not sure yet if this is a player problem or a faulty disk. Maybe, the player is just a little bit sensitive on some p* disk. I tried a lot of original disk and it plays smoothly... no freezing/skipping found.
If you ask with regards to the power, well it can deliver a total power around 130 watts RMS. The maxximum distance you can place the satellites speakers from the listener as per its manual reccomendations are the ff:

center speaker (25 watts) --- 1.6 meters ( but i tried 6 meters away and still works fine).

front left/right speaker (25 watts)  --- 15 meters (this to much for a room).

rear front/left speaker (10 watts) ---- 4 meters

Subwoofer (70 watts).

You can adjust the volume level of satellites speaker from -10dB to +10dB.

Well, that's for S400. But if you have a budget to buy a receiver and 5.1 speaker system. I would recommend for you to buy the NB 9000 slim stand alone player. This player out perfoms the NB slim of S400. Just make sure that your receiver has an optical connection for you to enjoy the DTS surround. The NB slim stand alone has DTS decoder but digital out only and you need a serial DAC to convert it to analog out (where your receiver has through optical connection).

Hope this helps!

i still think that the stand-alone nb dvd-9000 only has dts digital out as opposed to "dts decoding" that most people here claim.

btw, philander, i just noticed when i came back from mcs that the nb dvd player included in the nb home theatre packages has "dts sorround" on the front fascia. this is a good indication that the unit does dts decoding. whereas in the stand-alone nb dvd-9000, the only mentions of dts that i was able to find is on the box ("dts") and the blacked-out "dts digital out" on the cover of the manual.

Hello I am new here ,  I just would like to share to you guys on how I tested the DTS Decoding of the NB9000

If you are using the L/R audio output of the DVD player you will not be able to hear the change of sound from DD 5.1 to DTS.

For those who want to test  the NB9000 decoding of  DTS try to connect your TV or stereo to the 5.1 output then make sure that the Downmix is set to OFF in the audio set-up,  you will be able to hear the change in audio when you shift it from DD 5.1 to DTS. again this is just for testing the DTS decoding,

torque: thanks for the clarification. misleading nga yung paggamit ng "nb slim", when it appears meron pala variants. before your clarification, ang akala ko ang meron lang eh yung "old and bigger" nb na champagne gold color.

aside from the dts decoder (this part i dun mind), ano pa differences nung dvd-9000 and dvd-9000/17?

thanks!

--------------------

vaccum: ganyan din itsura ng nb dvd-9000 ko, so similar yung front fascia ng dvd-9000 and dvd-9000/17? whattabout the backside?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: vacuumtubes on May 09, 2003 at 05:18 PM
AFAIK...

the 9000 is the thicker one in champagne gold color while the slim is in silver color which is the one in the picture i posted.

na sa likod nyan yung 9000-17 sa nameplate rating mismo.

hope this helps.  ;)

This thread is almost 10 months old. Dun sa mga naunang bumili, kamusta na ang performance ng units nyo?  Are they still working fine?  Meron bang nasira na?

working without a glitch. watching a dvd movie almost nightly. usually pa nga, sasalng ng 3 dvds fast forward, click clik, then change another one. meaning to say, medyo parang muslim dvd vendor pang testing machine pa nga ang treatment ko sa BOTH nextbase champagne bulky and nextbase silver slim players ko.

Bestbuy, what happened to your much-awaited news? It's way past the date you said you'd tell us.  ;)
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on May 10, 2003 at 06:07 PM
indie,

sorry. well i cannot divulge much of the news i wanted to share. suffice to say that nextbase research and development staff have been able to produce a prototype of a DVD RECORDER.

this is not the same as the DVD Recorders already out in the market from Pioneer or Yamaha. Since Nextbase is still targeting the mass market. In fact, their initial prototype (which is said to be introduced briefly to the market this Fall during the Xiamen Electronics Fair), their suggested retail price is just US$199

The prototype is a double disc tray, both supporting DVD discs. One is a dedicated player only, while the other disc is the recordable tray.

Furthermore, they have been tinkering as to what different input jacks they are supposed to add into the chasis. for now, aside from the usual video in and out, audio in and out, they have added a... USB PORT, which is intended for you to attach your digital camera and watch AND record directly.  The problem is that they might have to come out with a dedicated keyboard that might act like computer saving files too.

Howevver, you must not wait for this unit to come out. Legal problems have been hounding nextbase that is why they are not so sure how to market this unit eventually, even if they have perfected the technology.

that was the bomb i was supposed to share but had to witheld.

now, isnt nextbase really a coooool company?

sincerely,

bestbuy88

(ps info above all came from my cousin who is based in xiamen china and also audio video gadget freak)

Whoah, that is great news, indeed. Too bad, the legal wrinkles might prevent us from getting one of those babies. Sana lang they also put in Firewire connectivity.

I do hope they release it eventually. I've long wanted to have a DVD recorder. At that price, I can well afford it!

Thanks for the info!

And, yes, Nextbase is a cool company!

hi all! i have been following this thread for some time now and after weighing the pros and cons of things (read-the almost childlike delight in the nextbase stories you guys tell), i've decided to take the plunge and buy a nextbase.

yesterday, i made the rounds of the quiapo stores you all mentioned. first stop was the raon commercial or was it electronic) center. i found a good sprinkling of shops carrying the brand (but only found two offering the S200 at 12500). retail price for the dv9000 was the 3450 to 3500 range; some had mics offered as extras but most had none.

there was also this small complex (actually a maze of stores) almost in front of the raon commercial complex (raon exit) which had 1 or 2 dv9000s.

last stop was watsons. i inquired with the owner (i think) and the slim was offered at 3400 w/ a 6 month warranty period. i didn't get to see the unit as the place was quite full. the s400 had a retail of 11400. s200s were out of stock.

incidentally, the sm appliance center is also offering the s400 at...hold your breaths, 12995! they also have the s200 but i didnt bother asking the price.

a few questions though;
- the thread mentions that the newest (dv9000/17) has the round button with the +/- on the rightmost part of the fascia. but on the next-base site, the control on the rightmost side is the big round knob. which is which?

- i have no HT set up to speak of; just a tv. i play my dvds on my pc. can i just connect the s400 to the tv and give it a go or would i be needing any other additional equipment (a/v receiver)? if ever, the s400 would be placed inside a 4 X 5 m room.

- and lastly (off-topic), to the quiapo habitues (paging sir bestbuy); could you kindly point me to where 'J canteen' in p.paterno is? this joint supposedly serves the best pancit palabok. i simply can't find it (unless i was looking in the wrong place...)

thanks to all who have posted and made this thread into what it is today...the quintessential nextbase!

sorry for the long post (now you know why i chose the nick ;)

best...

Hi to all,

I just bought a Nextbase 9000/17 at Greenhills Nintendo last weekend for P3600 plus free mic with 1 year free service warranty (I know its much cheaper in Quiapo but GH is much more convenient for me :)).  Ambassador also sells it for P3800 no mic but with 1 year warranty on parts and service.

I must say I'm really impressed with its performance.  It played all of the 7 p-disks I bought with no problems at all (a far cry from my frustration in playing these same disks in my Sony player  :o).  Thank you all guys for the reviews and recommendation.

Hi NB users,

Can any one confirm that his/her nextbase dvd player has build-in DTS "ANALOG" decoder. Any model... (except for the nextbase player that has speaker & amp package S200/S400).

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks!

i just got myself a NB DVD 9000/17 yesterday at quiapo for Php 3500.00. they offered 6 months warranty. it seemed that almost all of the stalls had the same warranty period. the good thing about the store i bought it from is they allowed me to test every connection; composite, svideo, and component(they were a appliance store so they had good tvs).

i could tell that they were a bit surprised when i ask to have the component connections tested. at first they were puzzled at what i wanted to do. but the people there never gave me a bad look. they allowed me to use their sony 29" flat tv with PIP on display ;D in order to satisfy my curiosity. after some adjustments, i was able to confirm that everything was working properly(except the optical and coaxial connections, no receiver available). when i got home i quickly tested the optical connection, it worked like a charm. no lip sync problem.

just sharing.  ;)

service center is unknown. just proceed to where you bought it. be sure to bring your receipt. so far, unless you got a factory defective unit or you were not careful with you unit, i have yet to have either one of the three nextbases i own serviced at all. so do most of the friends i have referred to, one even as far as cebu city (he bought seven units so far).

Help.  Need advise.

1. Where can I buy the cheapest NB 9000/17?  If in Quiapo, any store in particular?  In greenhills it sells 3600.  Is that ok already?

2.  How do I know if it's the old NB slim or new NB slim to avoid purchasing the problematic ones?

3. Does this have a "last memory" function like the Pioneer models?

4. How do I know if it has a lip synch prob and if it has a decoder?  Does the manual explain this?

5. Is the NB9000/17 autovolts or 220V?

Kindly email me guys.  I would appreciate it. - [email protected].  THANK YOU.

just bought an NB slim last saturday at Mayer (beside Watson's) for P3,400 with a 6 mos. warranty. In Greenhills it's P3,500 at Nintendo so if ur closer to Greenhills, just buy it there. I was supposed to buy it at Watson's pero may iba pa akong binili sa Mayer kaya doon nalang dahil yung ibang binili ko mas maababa ang presyo sa Mayer. Sa Watson's pala P3,400 din with 6 mos. warranty. Sabi nila puro NB slim na lahat dahil phased out na yung isa.

Dont you think parang nanghuhula ka kung or defective yung nabili mo or hindi? parang nanghuhula ka rin kung may dts decoder or wala. It  seems pakiramdaman ata pagbumili ng next base. Malalaman mo na lang yung mga "kakaibang" features nya pagginagamit mo na. I have a friend na 2 times na binalik yan sa quiapo, and lately pinachange na lang yung HT  nya sa NB slim. Mukhang delikado ata yang nextbase?

Hi cebuyas_bombay,

I just bought as well my S400 at watsons but have no problem found on it. In fact, I'm very satisified with its performance. The HT was great with a hi-fi sound. Same here I'd like the features of independent gain adjustments on every speaker. This is great for an irregular room area where you can tune-in the level of sound to the listener.

I would suggest that you ask watsons to replace your unit. Don't forget to bring your DVD's with you to check the player.

Regards,
Aaron

I have replaced my s400 at watson two weeks ago and still I got skipping on most of my dvds. So I went back to Watson last saturday and bring with me my Mama dvd (Queen greatest hits). I tested two other s400 models and still got skipping problem. I then tested the NB slim stand-alone player with the Mama DVD, and lo', no skipping on the disk. I tested my other skippy disks on the s400 with the stand-alone, it was pretty damn clear and no problem whatsoever. To my frustration, I returned my s400 player to Watson and have it replaced with standalone. I then stress-tested the player the whole day of Sunday, and I was very much satisfied with its performance. Yesterday, I returned the remaining s400 speakers to Watson, as well as the remote, wires, and the rest. And Watson was very very kind enough to return to me my money, NO QUESTIONS asked. So, if you plan to buy NB, buy at watson.

correct me if i'm wrong but it think the last memory function the other guys were referin' to is that function of the player kung saan magsisimula ulit sya on the last scene of the movie after ejecting the DVD disc. some players have this function where it could remember where you stopped for like the last five titles that you previously played. :)  galing no? :D

anyways, could anybody check if the NB Slim has this cool function. :D

I am also a NB slim owner (new batch). Had it 3 weeks now. May question lang po ako. When you say na may built in decoder ang isang player, it means it can already decode and output the sound to there respective channels right? Thus the presence of the 5.1 RCA audio outs at the back panel of the player. Yung kasi pagkakaintindi ko e. Pag may 5.1 outs sa likod, automatic may built in decoder siya. Am I wrong with this assumption? ???

Thanks.

May two sound format ang DVD player, Dolby Digital and DTS.

If a certain player has build-in DTS decoder, the 5.1 analog output of the player will sound.

NEXTBASE SLIM Comparison:

by Observation:

always look for the nameplate at the back
DVD-9000-17-305M3S = Old Model
DVD-9000-17-315M3S = New Model


by Features:

Old Model 17305:
-With Internal DTS Decoder (With Sound at the analog outputs L/R & 6ch. even DTS Audio)
-With Delay / Synch problem but with remedy
-Large setup Fonts

New Model 17315:
-Without Internal DTS Decoder (No Sound at any analog outputs on DTS Tracks)
-No Delay / Synch problem
-Small Setup Fonts
-New Chipsets

just my simple comparison between the old and new batches of Nextbase Slim 9000/17 DVD Players.

IMHO, dun na lang po ako sa lumang NB Slim ko at least nasubukan ko nang lahat ng features and meron namang remedyo yung DELAY Problem.
nasa Timer Circuit Patented Design na yun ng NB.

Hope This Helps!!!!  :D

The 1 on display is X305 model but the one in stock is X315 model. I have not noticed the lip sync prbm in X305. The X305  definitely has no internal DTS decoder, so DTS soundtrack can only be played using an AVR equipped with DTS decoder.

So far, all p*dvd that didnot played on my branded DVD player played without any prbm on NB. Sulit talaga 3300.

I just noticed that my manual has dts marked covered. not only that, the VCD compatibility also covered. The dts, I understand, but VCD, no. So i made a test of VCD and CD/RW on NB slim and everything works fine. Kinda weird move by NB on the manual.

Lastly, I noticed something unusual with NB, and incidentally come across it. We have a marble flooring, and we dont wear slipper in the listening room. touching the chassis of the NB tickled me (low grounding effect). So I measure AC voltage between the ground (a heavy metal touching our marble floor) and the NB. I measured the following:

voltage source     OFF            ON
------------------      -----------    ----
  220Vac                100Vac      65Vac
  110Vac                  68Vac      12Vac    

Though I measured low current on all instances (about 0.25ampere)

This prompted me to measure al my sound gear. My old amp measures 32Vac, my branded DVD player has 25Vac, and my RX-V630 has about 10Vac. So I just remembered the past recommended practice - ground all appliances. So I grounded all the chassis together to the metal plate in the floor (phone company grounding of metal water pipe are good source of grounding).

Unwanted humming sometimes is caused by this voltages, and grounding your equipment together may remove humming/hissing noise from your speakers, thus improving the sonics of your sound gear. My chassis voltage now (any sound gear) is 0Vac. So no more tickling, have no time to bother checking my sound anymore.

Title: Problem with Next Base
Post by: Ego on May 28, 2003 at 06:42 PM
Guys, need your advice:

I bought a Next Base DVD Player, September last year.  I had several months of enjoyment with it, but now it won't play my p-DVD's which it used to before.  It reports NO DISC everytime I insert them.  It now only plays original DVD's and VCD's.

I bought it from Nintendo Greenhills but it's already past its 6 month warranty.  Where can I go to have it fixed?  Or do I need to?  Is Claire dela Fuente in Greenhills any good?  

Thanks!

Just clean it, (an ordinary CD player cleaner will do,don't use the liquid) it  happened to my old trusty old Panasonic A300, and after using an ordinary CD cleaner, it's back to it's original capabilities.  ;) ;D

If you can spend more, buy the Radioshack CD/DVD cleaner, I think it's a good investment. ;) ;D

danboni,

i have porta nextbase dvd player model dmv4, which is the first edition, less funky design.

i installed it with my sister's office desk. not even mobile at all and it cranks up. it hangs, freezes and sometimes, wont even play dvd's, kahit original copies.

i have previously shared that personally, i will not recommend the dmv4. i do not know if the dmv1 which is the funkier with blue streaks player has improved considerably. if not, then i will seriously ask you to think twice. i do not think it is enjoyable to watch movies/tvs inside a car though. but thats my personal opinion. madali akong mahilo kasi.

:)

sincerely,

Alfie, hindi nag-work.  I bought a generic looking CD cleaner, dry-cleaned the DVD player, still wouldn't work.  wet-cleaned it, still didn't work.

Maybe I should just bring it to Claire dela Fuente?  It's funny kasi wala siyang problems sa VCD's and Music CD's.  Sa DVD's lang talaga.  Iba ba ang lens for the DVD?  Maari kayang iba ang sira at hindi ang lens?

Thanks, dude.

Thanks, dude.

You stated earlier that it works on the original DVDs but not on the PDVD, now what I'll do is check the PDVDs 1st, if it can be played on other players or on a DVDROM, since from what I know the quality of the PDVDs are really sub par and subject for faster degradation.
Now if the PDVDs will turn out to be playable in other players, my next theory is that it's a chip problem, the MPEG2 was affected possibly due to overuse/overheating, which I have seen among the players being used by the people selling PDVDs in Quiapo.
You may want to send a pm to RobertJ or Vacummtubes, since these guys do have the technical know how on the operative capabilities inherent in these DVD players, most especially the Nextbase. ;) ;D
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: Ego on May 30, 2003 at 02:41 PM
Alfie, I did state that earlier, but as of last night, even most of my original DVD's don't work anymore.  So I guess you may be right about the chip problem, since VCD's, p---d and original ALL work.

I shall pm the contacts you gave me.  I hope I won't be spending much.

Much thanks for your very valuable help.

Title: NEXTBASE DVD wont play DVD-R
Post by: alfa on May 31, 2003 at 12:17 AM
I got a Nextbase DVD player a couple of months ago (the model w/o a built in decoder) because the reviews said it was comparable if not better than SAST and the others.
Guess what? I burned a DVD-R tonight and played itin the Nextbase. DVD wouldnt load... After reading it the display said "NO DISC". Okay lang, i thought, i guess i burned my DVD-R in a wrong way. Imagine my disappointment when the same DVD-R played on my brother's BEST DVD player??? Huh and i thought i had "the"  good one. Tomorrow i'm trooping over my sis in law's place and try it on the Orange... till next week Grrr...
But i'll give the nextbase a chance. I'll open it up and clean the lens we'll se he he he....

My NB dealer- friend told me that the "new" NB Slim (315) is cheaper because of the reduced features and is meant to be priced lower than competition.  Expect the price to further drop to 3,000 pesos by mid-June (pasukan na sa school at matumal na ang bentahan ng DVD players).

Currently, it is selling at 3,200 pesos at most stores in Q.
but can be had for P3,100 with free microphone (cheap ones) at some stores.

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: vendvd on Jun 02, 2003 at 06:49 AM
Re: Different Warranties

Stores selling NB are giving different warranties for different reasons.  Some of these are the FF:

1. A store selling the NB may have gotten their stocks from a secondary source (not the main importer or supplier) and to be on the safe side, they will reduce the warranty period from the standard one year (parts and service) to less...
2. A store is wary of the durability of the NB and they are not willing to gamble on giving a longer warranty period to buyers.
3. Some stores will give a one year SERVICE warranty and 3 months or 6 months PARTS warranty - this means you will pay for the full cost of the parts if your unit breaks down after 3 or 6 months from date of purchase.
4. Some stores aren't sure if they will still be around 6 months from now...

Be sure to ask the store to put down in writing (sa resibo) the specific warranty period for both PARTS AND SERVICE to avoid misunderstanding later on when problems arise.  On the whole ok naman ang after sales service ng NB, you just have to look for the store that will give you the longest warranty period for the best price.

1. can play P-DVD's - all generic players
2. can play all regions - all generic players
3. cheapest brand - Nexbase is the cheapest right now, I think... ::)
4. durability - ?
5. warranty - Kebao (2yrs as per Monzki's post), Xenon (1yr), others depends where you buy the unit usually 3-6 months
6. w/DTS decoder: Kebao, SAST, Xenon 810D, NB DVD-9000-17-305M3S
   w/o DTS decoder: Xenon 710, DVD-9000-17-315M3S

to connect the component cables you simply connect the colors between tv and player, red to red, blue to blue, green to green, using a good quality RCA cable.

note: some players need to be "told" what connection to use, svideo or component connections. set it accordingly. regardless of what is set, i believe that composite connection has a signal.

Are exactly the same in physical appearance including their logos, check mo na lang yung rear para sa exact model.

Yung mga binebenta ngayon is puro 315M3S model na, mukhang mahihirapan kang maghanap ng 305. The price of the 315 and 305 are almost the same. Mahal pa dati yung 305.

Yung S400 siguradong may DTS decoder yun. Not sure sa S500 kasi wala pa dito.

Di kaya may legal problem ang Nextbase with DTS?

Siguro nga.   Pati yung bagong progressive scan na MDVD optional din ang DTS 5.1...

HTIB/ progressive scan na hindi DTS? Too bad kung sakali

For its price, that's probably a S400. I am not familiar with the set-up of the S200/S400. But I'm sure that there is a way to turn on the sub (either via remote button or via the audio set-up menu), if everything fails then there's a problem with the amplifier or in the subwoofer connections (wire).

And yes, HTIB of Nextbase (S200 & S400) has DTS decoder.

hi,

i might be VERY wrong with this perception i have, but based on what i have read in various internet electronic sites, it seems that UNLESS YOU HAVE AN HDTV or PLASMA TV, the progressive scan is virtually UNDETECTABLE on a normal picture tube flat screen TV set.

Sorry, i have only received that perception after reading several sites discussing the merits of the progressive scan feature of dvd players. Owners of progressive scan players who DO NOT own plasma or HDTV have always remarked the insignificant (some even label ABSENCE) of any apparent video improvement.

As such, I think that progressive scan is a cool feature, but unless we got the gadget to compliment it, it might just be laying there useless. In short, a feature that is NOT supposed to be a significant factor in determining what brand/model of player to purchase vis-a-vis the price tag.

Its like how SteveMartin poked a joked that this year's Academy Awards was being beamed first time in HDTV signals and so he is "saying hello to the three salesmen at Circuit City". In short, he just means, its virtually useless to herald beaming HDTV when only three people in the entire USA will benefit from it.

just a thought.

respectfully,

bestbuy88

The Cheapest HDTV that I know has a price range in the Php100K++, :o :o furthermore, once you get to set up your HDTV at home, you might get surprised that the film like quality that progscan prides itself with might not be to your liking, :'( plus the fact that you'll only get to benefit the HDTV feature for your DVD progscan capable player  :P and the broadcast might get faulty since the HDTV will be receiving analog signals from our local broadcast. :'(

Not really, the US has been mandated recently to convert to digital broadcast by 2005.
Japan has started and analog broadcast will soon be a thing of the past, the Steve Martin joke was just appropriate at the time it was cracked. ;) ;D

Post by: Alfalfameister on Jun 27, 2003 at 12:23 PM
In the options of my nextbase 9000 player, there is an option to let you choose what kind your TV is: Pan & Scan, Letterbox, and Widescreen.

First off, I know my TV is not widescreen, so which should I choose?

I know what Pan & Scan is (basically, cropping), and Letterbox (with the black bands on top). I haven't noticed a difference in the Nextbase when I choose either.

Comments/Ideas?

Post by: Ego on Jun 27, 2003 at 01:14 PM
Supposedly, pan & scan involves panning of the camera where the action is, and i don't think this is supposed to be letterboxed.  actually i don't see any diff also when i switch between pan & scan and letterboxed.  luckily, i have a widescreen tv.  mura lang, surplus from pier.....

Magkano?  3300! (go straight to the kahera and sabihin mo lang taga pinoydvd ka)

Ang sumusunod ay may nilalamang tanong at haka haka na sana ay sagutin ng mga nakakaalam at suriin at paghuntahan ng iba.

1.  Ang aking modelo any ang '315' - sinasabing walang DTS - walang problema ako doon, pero mayroon bang makakapag sabi kung ikabit ko ang aking unit sa isang makinang taga tanggap ng kita/rinig ay makakarinig din ba ako ng DTS?  

O ang tamang tanong ba may may lalagos bang tunog DTS kung ikabit ang panglaro sa makinang tagatanggap ng kita/rinig?

2.  Napansin ninyo ba sa tabi ng kahon ng inyong panlarong DVD na Nextbase ay may tatlong kahon na maaring lagyan ng marka?  Ang tanong:

   a.  Ano yung ikatlong modelo ng Nextbase (302)?
   b.  Kung nakuhang isulat sabay ang modelo numero '305' at '315' ibig sabihin ba ay maaring pumili ang nagtitinda (at ang mamimili) ng modelo?
   c.  Sa aking pagbabasa ng mga panayam aking nakita ang usapan tungkol sa opisyal na taga gawa ng sirang panglaro...maari kaya nilang malinawan kung maaring ngang pumili ng modelo?

Ito ang ilang sa aking mga katanungan na aking inaasa ay magbibigay linaw sa lahat ng magbabasa, at aking inaasam na sagot sa may nakakaalam.

Maraming salamat po, para sa mga dayuhan na hindi marunong ng wikang Pilipino, maaring magtungo lamang sa pinka malapit na embahada ng Pilipinas at magtanong, kung kayo ay nasa Pilipinas ay umiwi po muna kayo at magtungo sa pinakamalapit na embahada sa inyong lugar.

Di pa August ah? Linggo ng wika?

Ang iyong modelo ay hindi kayang maglabas ng Tunog na DTS sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga analogong labasan ng tunog.

Magiging aktibo lamang ang DTS kung ikakabit mo ito sa isang elektronikong kasankapan na tumatanggap ng signal na DTS sa pamamagitan ng digital na koneksyon.

   a.  Ano yung ikatlong modelo ng Nextbase (302)?
 
a. Ang tinotukoy mo ba ay yung unang modelo ng Nextbase, 9000-11, ito yung unang labas na Nextbase. Sa pagkaka-alam ko, tatlo pa lang ang lumabas na modelo ng Nextbase. Wala pang kasunod ang modelong 315.

b.  Kung nakuhang isulat sabay ang modelo numero '305' at '315' ibig sabihin ba ay maaring pumili ang nagtitinda (at ang mamimili) ng modelo?

b. Unang lumabas nag 9000 - 11, sumunod ng 305, subalit may mga problemang nararanasan sa modelong ito, sa palagay ko naubos na rin ang modelong ito o ynng mga natitira ay inayos nila ang problema at binigyan ng panibagong modelo, ito ay ang 315.

Yung serial number ng nextbase ay may series na DVD-9000-17-315M3S.

Part yung 315 yung 9000.

Yung 305 ang may pagkakaiba sa 315.

MultiRegion out in the box ang Nextbase.

Please refer to Vacs post:
NEXTBASE SLIM Comparison:

by Observation:

always look for the nameplate at the back
DVD-9000-17-305M3S = Old Model
DVD-9000-17-315M3S = New Model


by Features:

Old Model 17305:
-With Internal DTS Decoder (With Sound at the analog outputs L/R & 6ch. even DTS Audio)
-With Delay / Synch problem but with remedy
-Large setup Fonts

New Model 17315:
-Without Internal DTS Decoder (No Sound at any analog outputs on DTS Tracks)
-No Delay / Synch problem
-Small Setup Fonts
-New Chipsets

just my simple comparison between the old and new batches of Nextbase Slim 9000/17 DVD Players.

IMHO, dun na lang po ako sa lumang NB Slim ko at least nasubukan ko nang lahat ng features and meron namang remedyo yung DELAY Problem.
nasa Timer Circuit Patented Design na yun ng NB.

Yup its multiregion. Pero kung bibili ka better test kung multi egion nga.

uh-oh you got the system units, the S200, well...better get a 16 in. desk fan to cool your unit or do as how Sickboy recommended, by placing a dedicated blower fan on top....you see the system models have a build in amplifiers/decoders and worse tuner...all of which contributes to the heat production inside. A fellow member Vacummtubes, opened up his unit to observe his DVD9000, and he reportd that the chips per se heats up in just a few minutes hence he modified and placed a CPU blower inside direct to the decoder chips.
Good thing about your units, it has it's own air vents, hence even a desk fan will suffice in cooling your system. ;) ;D
I am not sure about the JPEG capability of your model, do sent a pm to Sickboy, I think he has the same system as you do. ;) ;D

For a price difference of 400 pesos between the Kebao 2089 DVD Player (P3,700) and the Next Base Slim 9000-XX315 model (P3,300), which would you guys choose given the following details:

Kebao - two years parts warranty and lifetime service warranty (if Kebao is still around by then)
NB Slim - 6 months to one year warranty only

Kebao - has true DTS decoder - DTS Surround (sound will still come out of your TV set when playing a DTS disc) which is very ideal if you will upgrade to a  5.1 speakers set-up later so you can enjoy your DTS discs (good and affordable 5.1 speakers - ones with subwoofer can now be bought for 2,000 pesos without the need to buy a separate ampli to produce real DTS 5.1 sound)
NB Slim - no more true DTS decoder - only DTS out (you have to buy an expensive ampli that has DTS decoder) so you have limited upgrade capability (that's why NB afficionados miss the old NB Slim 305 model although one batch had lip-synch problems).

Kebao - has a built-in exhaust fan at the back for longer marathon playing time
NB Slim - no exhaust fan and some reports of "hanging" and other problems when used for over two hours

Kebao - has equalizer settings which can be customized
NB Slim - only has preset equalized settings and cannot be customized

Kebao - has better karaoke features like presence of echo and pitch control
NB Slim - no echo or pitch control

For a price difference of 400 pesos between the Kebao 2089 DVD Player (P3,700) and the Next Base Slim 9000-XX315 model (P3,300), which would you guys choose given the following details:

Kebao - two years parts warranty and lifetime service warranty (if Kebao is still around by then)
NB Slim - 6 months to one year warranty only

Isnt it abvious already which one is better

Kebao - has true DTS decoder - DTS Surround (sound will still come out of your TV set when playing a DTS disc) which is very ideal if you will upgrade to a  5.1 speakers set-up later so you can enjoy your DTS discs (good and affordable 5.1 speakers - ones with subwoofer can now be bought for 2,000 pesos without the need to buy a separate ampli to produce real DTS 5.1 sound)
NB Slim - no more true DTS decoder - only DTS out (you have to buy an expensive ampli that has DTS decoder) so you have limited upgrade capability (that's why NB afficionados miss the old NB Slim 305 model although one batch had lip-synch problems).

Kebao - has a built-in exhaust fan at the back for longer marathon playing time
NB Slim - no exhaust fan and some reports of "hanging" and other problems when used for over two hours

Kebao - has equalizer settings which can be customized
NB Slim - only has preset equalized settings and cannot be customized

Kebao - has better karaoke features like presence of echo and pitch control
NB Slim - no echo or pitch control

Kebao - much smaller in size  than the NB Slim
NB Slim - about one-third bigger in size than the Kebao

Again, for a 400 pesos difference between these two good players, which would you choose?  You be the judge...

NB - none

KEBAO - has been in the local industry for six years na
NB - last year lang nag-emerge

I agree, the sound is great  and the pic, crystal.  I notice though that some of my pdvd skips towards the end of the film, but other pdvds works fine w/o skip. do you encounter this? is it the player or the pdvds?

My personal experience is with CDRs. Mt NB plays all my Kodak gold CDR (music CD) but Kebao just dont see the CDR in its tray - all of my kodak CDR at that. Then some of the other generic CDRs also were not recognized by KB. However, other CDRs that I have is okay naman sa kanya. So, I am still trying to find out ano yung differences ng CDRs para mapili ko yung tatakbo sa kanya.

But I still like KB. So I am just planning to make another CDR copy which the KB will read. The VGA port is cool. We run many test using Compaq 21" PC monitor and it is really cool movie watching - so fine ang video. Experience progressive scan with cheap PC monitors than expensive TVs.

Based on the reviews of Monzki, I believe so, in fact, I am contemplating of getting one. ;) ;D
I agree that the 400 pesos difference seems reasonable taking for the fact that it has a 2 year service warranty, plus the Progscan capability, furthermore, I'm hoping that it's Macrovision free. ;) ;D

This is now turning into a Kebao thread...

My friend (who also owns an NB Slim with DTS) bought a Kebao 2089 last week and his only complaints are the folllowing:

1. It takes 23 to 26 seconds for the kebao to start to "read" his DVD discs (even DVD 9s) - he tested three units before buying and they were all the same (very slow in loading or reading discs).

2. Some DVD discs which play smoothly on his NB Slim and Pioneer pauses on the Kebao all the time (there's no problem with the discs).

3. My friend says that as for video quality, the NB Slim is slightly better.

Except for factor number 2 (which may be an isolated problem of my friend's Kebao unit and probably not inherent in all Kebao 2089 units), in my opinion it looks like Kebao is it.

Any other feedback?

P.S.  Just a clarification... Kebao is not made in Korea or made up entirely of Korean parts.  Kebao is one of those many China-made players coming from Shenzhen or Guangdong and sources its parts mostly from China.   It is true that they used Sony, Sanyo and  Samsung lens at one time or another before (depends on which brand is available and cheaper) but that is not a guarantee that they are using only those three said brands today with thier DVD players.  Try asking the people selling the Kebao (who claim that Kebao uses Samsung parts) if they can open a unit and show you the Samsung part or parts inside.

Sounds like a lemon :'( (general rule is to expect lemons with china based products).....I believe Kebao uses the same mediatek chip that the nextbase has, hence as per reports from those who owns one, your friend's DVD player seems to be dysfunctional, you see discs being read slow speaks of a displaced lens or a poorly connected chip, hence it'll do well for your friend to have his unit exchanged for a better functioning one, more so if it's still within the warranty period.

vendvd,

Your friend definitely got a lemon.  Loading time of my KEBAO is around 6-10 seconds (beyond that,  disc problem na for sure)  :)  I also owned an NB before, and in terms of video quality, I can say without hesitation na same lang sila ng KEBAO  :D  I suggest that your friend return the unit and ask for a replacement.   :)

Alfie,


Kebao does not use the Mediatek chipset. I believe that this unit still uses the ESS chipset. This player does not play correctly a PAL dvd that is anamorphically enhanced. The picture quality of the NB is better than this Kebao in my opinion.

Post by: jrizal1900 on Jul 15, 2003 at 02:37 PM
sir,hows the performance?

The unit rocks since the built-in amp and dts decoder performs well. The down side is that the speakers of the s400/s200 (I have the s400) are just basic and can't handle loud volumes. Has to replace my center speaker after two weeks. My two cents worth.

It's possible but you have to be careful. I changed my speakers but since my center speaker is not matched with the surround it had hissing sound at loud volumes (in other words, basag na ang tunog dahil naghahabol sa lakas ng satellites). Luckily for me, it was replaced by the shop I bought it from.

Robert- If it uses the ESS chipset, then it still needs another chipset like the  the Faroudja chip for it's Progscan features....right??..kindly enlighten us if it's otherwise.
I postulated that the progscan feature was due  to the Mediatek chipset, since this is the cheapest with a progscan feature, nonetheless, the Kebao is so cheap to use the faroudja or any old progscan capable chipset, since most of those chipset already costs around the price of a Kebao DVD player.

I based my findings based on the set-up menu of the Kebao. Mediatek chipset uses the same set-up menu kahit iba-iba pang tatak na china made players yan. Maybe ESS comes with a chipset of its own with progressive scan capability. If Mediatek can produce one there's no reason that ESS can't make one.

mdsaint3-  Yup the S400 having these power outputs:

Fronts: 25w/c
Center and surrounds: 10 w

were able to drive our sats.  You can also attach an active subwoofer to it.  It has a sub pre out.  

This is another alternative to have a great sounding system for a good price ;D

Post by: nerveblocker on Jul 16, 2003 at 07:33 AM
9kenneth9-  You need to have the Nextbase HTIB model number S400 not just the DVD player to pair with our sats.  

The S400 has the player and the receiver in one chassis and can drive those speakers.  The NB DVD slim player is only a player and needs an outboard receiver to power the speakers.

johndoe- As regards to the performance of the NB S400 with our sat-sub combi, you would notice a better and clearer midrange, a louder volume output, and more body in the speakers.

The speakers of the S400 sounded thin maybe because they just place a tweeter there and low frequencies handled by their passive sub.  There is a frequency gap in the midrange.  So it sounded more like component speakers.

We noticed that the satellites that came with the set has a 12 ohm impedance and are harder to drive.

Just my 2 cents. ;)

Hello, everyone! I'm new here; a DVD-happy friend of mine directed me to this forum after I kept pestering him with my questions about players and where to find secondhand original discs and all that.  :) Anyway, I have yet to buy a player, but judging from the threads here, NextBase seems to be the way to go, for a combination of reliability and affordability. So I went to Virra Mall and checked out the NextBases. It seems that there are also portable versions, which looked very nice.

My question: are the portable versions just as good (or better?) when it comes to performance? Are they less prone to overheating, or more? etc. I really like the way the portable NextBase looks, and the fact that it'll be easy to carry around. If its performance is just as good as the big one, despite the slightly higher price, I'm going for it.  :D

Dude, very temting talaga yung s200 and s400, kaya lang i've heared a lot of bad reviews with those units, 2 of my friends have already crossed path with it. Survey here, I think most are looking forward to NB slim model, I my self are considering the NB 9000 model vs pioneed 266 model. Many have suggested to me to buy the slim type rather than the S200 or S400, you just needed a good receiver and speaker to accomodate the sounds, lets say Yamaha 530 receiver and wharfedale will do.

How and Why-  Guess you just have to audition the combination of computer speakers yourself.  Specs do not say anything how a speaker would sound like.  Just bring your Nextbase to where you are going to purchase your speakers and listen to the sound quality.  Let your ears be the judge.... ;)

Speaking of cheapo dvd players, when i tested the nb slim at festival mall using the remote and ejected the cd thru it, what really funny is that 2 other cheapo dvd players ang nagopen na sabay. Wow universal remote pala yung nb remote, hehehehe.

mdsaint3-  No problem with my SAST,  The problems I had before was most probably on the burning speed of my CD writer thus the pixellations and all.  But tested it with different discs and it played them flawlessly.  

The NB S400 sat-sub combi is not for me but for my friend who has a limited budget but would want a great sounding system. ;)

OK doc mel :) ... So tama pala the theory na sabi sakin? Napansin ko din kasi yan when a friend copied me his smallville series eh.. Even sa vcd player nag pixilate.. Thats when I realized that high burn speeds sa pc lang nagwork.. I never burned at high speeds cause my writer is only 8x :) Good everything still ok with your SAST :)

Nope, Raon for me is still the place to go for electronic needs.

Regarding the audio capability of Nextbase, It's at par with most of the branded expensive(pioneer,JVC,Toshiba,Philips etc) DVD players being sold at the malls.
Do read thru the thread since I believe somebody already posted the amazing audio capabilities of the Nextbase slim. ;)

Don't waste your money on nextbase protables, madali sila maginit and maghang, baka magsisi ka lang.

Salamat, Gutierrez.  :) Mukhang medyo may sablay nga yung portable models. Some of the people on the 'portables' thread are very happy with their purchase, but many aren't. Looks risky. Mas consistent ata yung full-size cheapo NextBase (only P3K+ in Greenhills now, right?)

And thanks for the link, Levi!  :)

Post by: vendvd on Jul 28, 2003 at 06:54 AM
Nextbase used to be the best but Kebao and another new DVD player (which seems better and cheaper than Kebao) is giving Nextbase a good fight.  If I'm buying a new DVD player today, I will think twice about getting a Nextbase (no more DTS, no karaoke key control, no echo, no exhaust fan).  You can get another DVD player with DTS, full karaoke features, 1800 lines resolution, built-in exhaust fan with a free DVD disc for 3,000 pesos if you go to Quiapo.

The truth is, that there are some satisfied Nextbase portable DVD player  owners that I know and these people know what are the benefits of a good working utilitarian type of DVD player as compared to the branded ones, you see, based on my experience, once you start to utilize your DVD player, heat will start to generate and it's true, the smaller the unit, the greater the chance that the heat production can affect the performance of the unit, so the people I know (who actually fell in love with the Nextbase portable) knew this, hence right from the start , tried to prevent overheating by augmenting heat dissipation by the use of externals, such as a 14"-16" blade desk fan.
So far, their portables are still in good working condition. ;) ;D (and plays almost all PDVDs they throw in ;D ;D)

BTW...the AIWA portable is also very prone to overheating, freezeframe and skips, I was able to witness 2 Aiwa portables disintegrate this way  in a year's time.....and yes, due to overuse :'( :-[.
Title: List and post serial no. of returned items
Post by: alfa on Jul 30, 2003 at 11:32 AM
It seems that defective Kebao players are being replaced on a warranty basis so much so that there's a big probability (if not temptation on the part of the sellers or importers) that the defective items returned by one customer is being sold to another (intentionally or otherwise) who might not notice the defect.

My suggestion is that we note down and post the serial number, model number and brand of the items that we returned for warranty replacement to avoid instances of the same items being sold to others.

After testing the S400 I have a lot of gripes about it:

1. When you are playing DTS discs, center channel goes out.  Walang mga dialogues.  Tried a lot of DTS DVDs and the decoding is really bad although in DD discs...no problem

2.  Very choosy in DVDs.  When I bought it, it pauses and skips in a lot of my DVDs (orig and P).  I brought it to the shop where I bought it and they "cleaned" the lens daw coz it is dirty.  When i picked it up a few days later, I brought in my problematic DVDs and yes it played all of them.  Now when I inserted Die Another Day R3, the darn thing pixellated and paused.  Duhhh! >:(

3.  Now I wanted to try playing it on 2 channel stereo with an active sub (for the low frequencies) which I attached on the sub pre out.  When on bypass mode, the 2 front speakers are working kaso manipis ang tunog and walang sub.  I tried the DSPs (theater, classical, virtual) and they all sounded gross in music.  Puro echo but then yung sub tumutunog.  Malamang I won't be able to listen in 2 channel stereo with the sub working. >:(

So there you go S400 sucked big time! >:(

Kung nextbase ang kukunin mo sa SM appliance store 3.9k or sa listening room at 3.8k (DVD-9000) masmahal ng konti pero mas assured ka sa warranty. Wala pa akong nakitang Kebao sa SM puro sa Raon lang.

I've no problems with my S200, except for the pDVD Superbit titles.  Sobrang hina ng DTS track.  Pero kapag orig Superbit or kahit hindi Superbit, ang ganda naman ng DTS.  Or kahit na pDVD ok din yung DTS track (like the Yuan Fast and the Furious).  Talaga lang mahina yung DTS pSuperbit DVDs sakin.  Weird.  

But i'm not sure if the problem is with the s200 since shoestrings also tested those pSuperbit titles and mahina talaga ang DTS track kahit sa setup nya.

thanks so much alfie! i hope ma-in love din ako sa
NB. :-* will be checking out greenhills tom maybe, scout around. by the way, mas ok ba sa SM or greenhills when it comes to price and warranty? thanks.... ;D

Pat- Quiapo is the place to go, at the Raon Shopping Center, I believe has the Nextbase on almost all stalls, and the warranty's the same.
Now if you really prefer Greenhills or any of the SM Malls, heard that the place to go is Nintendo. ;)....At the Virra Mall it's rigth beside Astrovision. ;D

I just purchased a NB9000 stand-alone player sa nintendo makati cinema square for P3,500 with free microphone, 1 month replacement if defective and 6 months warranty for free labor only.  Did I get a fair or good deal with this?  Talaga bang di covered yung free parts within 6 months warranty period?

Ganito din ba warranty sa raon?  Lastly, may authorize service center ba dito ang Nextbase?  Tenks and regards po.

Its not that bad. But there's one store in raon selling these dvd's at 3200 with 1 year warranty.

Ang alam ko walang tuner yung DVD-900 na stand alone. (Not sure though) Pero yung s400 ko may radio kaso hindi maganda mahina ang reception at minsan nawawala yung preset. I'm aware of this but I did not buy my s400 for the radio.

Wala talagang tuner yung Stand-alone. Oh, you can actually improve the reception of your am/fm by extending your antenna. A super dc antenna is usable for FM. fyi.

Mga Boss Tsip,
Tulong naman. I bought a Rongxin AC-3 89DV to connect with my new NB slim and I cannot get the 5.1 sound. Only the front speakers and the sub are working. Walang sound coming from the rear and center speakers. What should be set-up in the NB slim? I connected the 5.1 analog outputs of the NB to the Rongxin but in the speaker set-up of the NB, only the Front Speaker and the Subwoofer option are open (the rear and center speaker options are grayed out; hindi ko mabago). Ano pa po ang dapat kong gawin? This is my set-up sa NB slim (new one).
SPDIF Set-up:
SPDIF Output Manual

Speaker Set-up:

 I dont have NB player but I think the setup is similar to Pioneer. Try changing the Speaker Set-up to AC3, 5.1 or similar but not to Downmix Stereo. As Stereo implies, its left and right speakers only. Subok lang. he he he!

I need your feedback.  I bought recently a NB MDV1 portable and I noted intermitent millisecond pauses, which was very distracting.   I had the unit replaced today.  The replacement that I got was better (no pauses), but after operating for an hour it hung.  The disk continues to spin, the blue light on the controls is permanently on, and the LCD display is gone.  This is what I get everytime I reset it.  Are these problems typical for this model?  I dont know if I just had 2 lemons, or should I look for something else.  I wanted my backup unit to be portable kasi

misha,

i think its a heating problem. smaller units such as the portable models ng NB tend to heat up fast due to its small size and lack of air vents. try mo tapatan ng electric fan when you use your MDV1. what i did with my DMV4 was place one of those auxilliary fans that you use on your PCs under it and viola! no more heating prob. anyways, if doing the above mentioned suggestion fails, i think your unit has lens problems.

Sickboy-  pDVD DTS tracks sometimes are not really true DTS tracks.  Although it activates the DTS mode of your receiver and reads it as DTS, its transfer isn't.  There are a lot of pDVDs out there which sports this and don't put your hopes to high in getting quality audio and video as in orig DTS DVDs.

I can attest that even some of those DVD9's which has DTS aren't true DTS tracks.  If you encounter a pDVD with DTS but its orig counterpart doesn't think twice before buying.

Somehow, the DD is better sounding than DTS in pDVDs. ;D
Title: 3,300 as of Aug. 7th
Post by: bestbuy88 on Aug 08, 2003 at 08:15 AM
hi,

i bought a nextbase slim dvd-9000 aluminum chasis from watson quiapo at 3,300pesos.

allegedly, there are some stores probably inside the raon electronic mall, which might sell at 3,200p as some have attested. however, my lenghty business goodwill with watson is enough for me to pay a tad more expensive (100p) if only i have the full support it has always given me thru the years.

this unit is not for my use though. pinabili lang for a friend who lives far from manila.

I might, just might, soon try a Kebao. The only thing pulling me back is the non-existent service center.  Just like my SAST AEP816 that konked out last month, i was lucky to find an electronic repair shop that was able to fix the problem for 300pesos.  It was the third service center actually that i brought the SAST for repair. You can just imagine my frustration when the first two repair shops returned the unit to me, claiming they cannot fix the problem.  With that, it seems indeed that sometimes, just when you thought you dont nee it, service centers ARE important factors for major consideration IN RELATION TO COST of the unit.

just my two cents.

respectfully,

bestbuy88
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Aug 08, 2003 at 04:00 PM
model no. 17315M3S
slim aluminum silver.

when you put a dts encoded dvd disc, no sound will come out from your TV speaker.

probably this means its just a "pass throough"

Warranty card now included in every purchase. A service center located in Binondo is also provided.

That makes owning Nextbase now a bit more "satisfyingly safer" than previous when you only had the store where you bought the unit from as your assurance for repair.

Hello  ;D  I saw a NextBase player sa Nintendo Goldcrest yesterday. It was retailing for P3799 & comes with 1 yr. service warranty. Hindi ko lang nakita yung model/series niya, basta medyo malaki, like your usual DVD player (i.e. Pioneer), color silver. Would anyone know if this is any good or a good deal for that matter?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Aug 08, 2003 at 07:22 PM
hi,

as far as i know, only the slim dvd-9000 has been in the market for almost half a year now. meaning, the last time i saw a brand new nextbase original version bulkier chasis was also 6months ago.

therefore, the nintendo goldrest you saw might either be:

1. not so brand new meaning it might have been a display unit, thus subjected to constant playing.

2. it might be new, but why buy it when it does not have fetures that exceed the later slim version? fact is the current slim version seems to be more loaded with features (can someone again confirm if the slim dvd9000 CAN READ AND PLAYBACK JPEG IMAGES ON TV SCREEN?)

3. unless the nintendo goldrest comes with a Warranty card issued by the current service cetner with mailing address at the Tytana Building in Binondo, i will have serious second thoughts of paying more for it than the current slim (3,300pesos only as of yesterday in quiapo, that comes with factory warranty card)

just my two cents.

Yes, Nextbase 9000-315 model does not have DTS decoder on-board, it passes-through the dts signal via its digital outs then feed it with DTS Receiver, then you can have DTS sound.

Just set the audio output of the DVD player to RAW.

Then connect it with your Receiver via digital coax or optics, let the receiver process the sound. No need to disable or enable the dts decoding, it will pass-through the signal to the receiver.

Receiver na bahala dun.

sir ask ko lang, sa set-up nyo ba now separated na yun tunog ng mga channels like its really 5.1 dolby digital na? yun bang umiikot na ang tunog sa lahat ng speakers? hindi na ba kailangan ng receiver or ampli?
kasi kung sa 6K aba not bad na yun kahit pangroom lang...i already have an NB9000 eh.
lastly where and how much nyo nabili yun Rongxin?


Yes, 5.1 ang tunog ng Rongxin 89DV.  If you play a 5.1 DD DVD, hindi sabay-sabay ang tunog ng speakers.  Unlike the Rongxin 88DV na sabay-sabay ang tunog ng lahat ng speakers.  May switch sa likod ang 89DV; pag set mo sa VCD, sabay-sabay ang tunog; pag DVD 5.1.  I bought the Rongxin 89dv at Hope Star Marketing sa Raon for 2.3K.  If the Nextbase slim really cost 2.8K as I recently read in this thread, then 5.1K na lang ang set-up na to.

hi,

ummm... be careful about the nextbase at 2,800pesos sold in raon electronic center.

be cautious: these seem NOT to be nextbase but uses nextbase's color scheme in the box/packaging.

i did not go see the actual logo on the chasis of the "so-called" nextbase that is sold at 2,800pesos but im pretty sure the BOX ITSELF did NOT have the printed "nextbase" name at all.

careful.

if a merchandise is good, nagkakaroon ng imitation. that is a given. just like Yale Padlocks, or Abloy Padlocks. Even branded T-shirts do have fakes if the original is known to be good.

now that someone is "cloning" nextbase, perhaps indeed, nextbase must BE good kaya may namemeke na.

sincerely

bestbuy

I don't think so.  Sa front, may buttons lang for 'bass up', 'bass down', 'volume up' and 'volume down'.  Sa likod naman, may switch for 'vcd'/'dvd'.

Saan mo nakuha ang info na to...

But the quick answer is no for DVD-Audio (the one with high resolution sound).

Though you can play dvd-audio disc (lahat naman ng DVD player) with the DTS and DD track, but again not the high resolution sound.

You can also play hybrid SACD at any cd/dvd player.

Di ata yan para sa 3rd world coutry na mainit ang temp. Siguro bagay yan sa malalamig na bansa na nasa negative temp, ok siguro yan after ng snow, yung bang natutunaw na yung snow, sobrang lamig un, baka pede syang heater. Joke. My cousin bought the same unit, laking hinayang nya kasi he tought looks can be deceiving, pangstarex sana kaya lang di rin kaya ng aircon ng starex.

it goes for both models. :P  true that it heats up fast but this is due to its small size and lack of air vents. i have the DMV4 model which is the bigger of two and i resolved the heating prob by placing an auxialiary fan underneath it to suck out some of the heat that the unit produces. :D  never gave me a prob eversince i did that. :D

however nung subukan ko na sa player
ayaw umandar ng DVD-RW ko sa nextbase.
i tried it sa sony player,samsung, and sa
computer DVD-rom umaandar naman.

Bakit kaya ayaw umandar sa Nextbase?
Nasa settings ba yun?
Ang nakasulat sa screen "NO DISK".
Can Nextbase read DVD's written through
a DVD-writer?

This is more a compatibility problem with the player and the media used.


Please try to use the blank disk of other brand to burn. Try R & RW media.

Hi, I used to watch DVD movies on my PC but now I would like to buy a generic DVD player.  And so far, all is pointing to NB DVD player.  I'm planning to buy next week.  What is the lowest price for the stand alone player of NB Slim?  I read that there is a new model, the MDVD i found on next-base.com.  Is it any good.  I'm not particular on whether it can play DTS or not but i'm more concerned on the reliability and compatibility in terms of playing P-disks and most region DVDs.  

Also for sure, its gonna be used a lot since my kids watched movies all the time.  Pls. tell me which store in Quiapo has the lowest price and that gives the longest warranty.

Last question, will the NB player last for more than 2 or 3 years?

Thanks everyone!

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 06, 2003 at 06:11 AM
hi,

1. at watson's quiapo, just across the back entrance door of SM Carriedo, the nextbase dvd9000 slim is selling at 3,200pesos with warranty card inside the manual.

2. watsons currently has on display the nextbase home theater in a box model s550 again. 6,700pesos yata ang set.

3. if you go to raon electronics center along quezon blvd corner Gonzalo Puyat (formerly known as Raon) Street, many stalls there carry nextbase dvd9000slim. there are stores selling it at 3,150pesos.

to me, now that you mentioned dts is NOT a big factor, go for the nextbase dvd9000slim and look at nothing else. at its price and its features, its still unbeatable. your consolation? the original nextbase dvd9000 that was introduced late last year initially sold at 4,800pesos. today the same excellent player is cheaper by more than 1000pesos. that is a big consolation for getting an excellent product at a huge price markdown already.

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: trox on Sep 07, 2003 at 01:45 AM
Hi bestbuy,

thanks! I went to raon today and all stores that carries NB have the same model, the 315.  Is the model featured in next-base.com the MDVD already available here in manila?
Your right about the lowest price of NB slim, the lowest i got is P3,150 and with 6mo. warranty.  there are stores who  says after six mo. , there is a lifetime service warranty for it.

if you don't mind, i have some more questions for you and the others out there,

1) What do  you think about the Kebao 6089? sabi nung tindera new model daw and it sells for 3,8k.  If compared to  NB slim what do you recommend?'
2) Lahat ba ng DVD movies ay dolby digital or may DVD movies na DTS lang and not DD?  Kc if all DVD movies have  DD, ok lang na walang  DTS yung player,  and sa TV speakers ko lang naman sya gagamitin.
3) Where can I buy  the latest model  of NB slim, the MDVD and how much?
4) Can the NB slim 315 model play VCD?
5) sa naka NB slim, tatagal kaya ng 2-3 years ito?

thats all for now and thanks  to all.

1) What do  you think about the Kebao 6089? sabi nung tindera new model daw and it sells for 3,8k.  If compared to  NB slim what do you recommend?'

Answer: PERSONAL OPINION KO LANG ITO HA. Per my posting at the Kebao thread in this forum, I still say DESPITE the Kebao KB2089 (specifically only) has a working 5.1channel jacks audio, DESPITE the Kebao having progressive scan, DESPITE the fact that the Kebao has a VGA out jack for you to connect to your PC, I will still go for the Nextbase DVD9000-slim (315) kasi it has proven to be versatile in reading and playing most kinds of DVD discs; in short, di masyadong namimili talaga. AND i suppose the reason why we buy a DVD player is to be able to watch the discs we bought. If a player has tons of features (audio out, dts enabled, HDCD, prog scan, etc) YET it refuses to READ the discs you bought, IT FAILS ITS PURPOSE ALTOGETHER. That is my experience with Kebao versus the Nextbase. (read my postings na lang sa Kebao thread regarding ACTUAL experience of the new Kebao KB2089 model. The quirks are honestly very irritating compared to how I have been enjoying the performance of the NextBase.)


2) Lahat ba ng DVD movies ay dolby digital or may DVD movies na DTS lang and not DD?  Kc if all DVD movies have  DD, ok lang na walang  DTS yung player,  and sa TV speakers ko lang naman sya gagamitin.

Answer:  Im not sure if my presumption is correct, but normally, DVDs are pressed with dolby digital as a given. A DTS pressed DVD is usually more expensive kasi, and not all titles are pressed in DTS either; but all movies are pressed as DD enabled.

If you will atch DVD's straight from your TV set only, pati na audio niya, then you can remove features like VGA out jack, progressive scan and DTS built in decoder, COZ YOU WONT BE ABLE TO USE IT NAMAN EH, so why pay for more features you will NEVER be using anyway? save the money and go buy DVD movies instead, mas wais pa iyang move na iyan. UNLESS OF COURSE you really feel you will soon be upgrading your TV into a home theater experience, and when I say soon, I mean within 6 months time, as these technology keeps changing every half a year. If you will upgrade a year or more from today, then forget about all the fancy features, and instead on concentrating the following:

a. playability of all regions
b. readability of all dvds, cd, cd-r, MP3, audio CD (and for the new slim NB DVD9000-315, readability of JPEG files in CD-r discs)
c. 5.1 audio jacks availability; S-video optionally good if present sometimes
d. Ability to convert PAL encoded DVDs to play naturally and in color in your NTSC only TV set (If you TV set is Multi-system, then no problem na itong conversion feature)
e. Hopefully macrovision disabled (i wont elaborate here kasi bawal ehehehe....)


3) Where can I buy  the latest model  of NB slim, the MDVD and how much?

Answer: Since you mentioned viewing from your TV set only, then forget about this slim DVD MDVD kasi i presume its more expensive than the currently available NB DVD9000slim315; it has progressive scan you DO NOT need; untested; and finally, IT IS NOT AVAILABLE pa yata as an INDEPENDENT UNIT. I suspect this is the player you get if you get the NB Hometheater-in-a-box system. Its picture at the website is identical to the player that is included in the home theater system kasi; it has the +/- round control button on the rightmost side, which i suspect is volume control for RADIO stations, although the specifications listed under MDVD did NOT state it has built in RADIO.  CONFUSING TALAGA. But as consuelo, it is NOT available in local market as far as quiapo is concerned.


4) Can the NB slim 315 model play VCD?

Answer: yes, and MP3, audio CD, CD-r, DVD, and for the slim 315, read JPEG picture files saved in CD-r discs.


5) sa naka NB slim, tatagal kaya ng 2-3 years ito?

Answer: I think my first NBase bulky was bought more than a year ago, but less than two years yet. I bought it at 5,200pesos if im not mistaken. Prices have dropped considerably without sacrificing much, in fact, adding more features pa nga eh. It is still working fine (pero take into consideration THAT I AM VERY VERY MASINOP SA GAMIT KO which is a factor that often misleads others to instantly say a product is bulok when the fact is, burara sila gumamit ng things. Most of my gadgets are pristinely scratchfree even 5 years of possession, like my cameras. Which explains why things last long with me. KAPAG NASIRA AGAD, YOU CAN PRESUME NA BULOK TALAGA KASI SA SINOP NG GAMIT KO, NASIRA PA, EH WALANG DAHILAN NA KUNDI PALPAK TALAGA ANG GADGET NA IYON. yabang ano? ehehehehe... soweee!!)

thats all for now and thanks  to all.

Answer: hope your questions were answered. HOWEVER, tanong ko naman: BUMILI KA NA BA NG NEXTBASE DVD9000-315 slim? o nagpunta ka lang ng quiapo para magtanong kasi bent on MDVD ka talaga? ehehehehe...

Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 07, 2003 at 09:35 PM
Ki,

if you ask me, the price factor is paramount in deciding where to buy, followed by WHO is seeling/what store is seeling it. Then location.

if you live far from quiapo, then factor in your TIME, TRANSPORTATION in computing if the pricier tag in a store nearer where you live is justified.

if quiapo now sells for 3,150pesos and if you live in ghills and ghills sells for 3,200pesos, no reason for you to come to quiapo at all. none. the 50pesos augments the time/transportation expense you have to incur if you have to come to manila.

furthermore, in case of trouble, it will be burdensome for you to carry the unit all the way to manila again in the future. so buy it where it is near PROVIDED the price you will pay more is JUSTIFIED.

Hi bestbuy,

Thanks for all the infos... you've really help me alot in deciding.  Nope, di pa ako bumibili, nag canvass lang  ako sa  raon just to find out kung magkano na ngayon.  Its funny nga dahil nag start ako mag tanong ng nextbase  sa may LRT side ng raon,  at nagsimula ang presyo sa 4K last price na raw.  habang lumalapit  ako sa side ng raon shopping center  bumababa ang  price and finally sa raon shopping  center 3,150 with 6MO warranty.

I'll definitely go for the NB 9000-315 model dahil di naman kaya ng TV  ko ang progressive scan and yes, sa TV ko speakers ko lang sya gagamitin.


I'll buy next week and i'll post my experience  sa NB slim 9000 pag nakabili na ko...   Thanks again bestbuy and thansk to all

BTW, sa mga  nakabili na sa raon, anong name nga shop yung tested nyo na with regards to warranty, laging bago ang stock at yung may pinaka matagal na warranty.  And talaga bang lifetime service warranty  ang NB?

Thanks again.

hi,

im sorry but i do not have a home theater speaker set up so i cannot say there is categorically.

however, based on the "reputation" of nextbase, i do not think they will "fake" the presence of their 5.1 audio out jacks at the back of the nextbase slim dvd9000. i presume it will be working, just like the kebao dvd2089.  the only reason i placed the adjective "working" in describing the kebao kb2039's 5.1 audio jackout is because it was demonstrated to me when i purchased the kebao. for the nextbase, Watson's at that time did not have home theater speakers for me to check it out.

yet, i sincerely presume that nextbase slim HAS a working 5.1channel audio out jacks.

can anyone make a better judgment? anyone here got a nextbase dvd9000 slim hooked to 5.1 channel speaker system??

Post by: Alfalfameister on Sep 09, 2003 at 03:59 PM
Nextbase slim 9000 (yung model na wala ng DTS) has 5.1 channel output that works.

You are "forced" to have a front left and front right speaker. Then if there is something connected to the center channel (or the rear left and rear right, and even the sub), the options in the SETUP menu will not be "grayed out" anymore.

Okay nga, meron pa built in test tone itong lokong Nextbase! Astig talaga.

(I had to adjust the speaker volumes by ear kasi wala akong Sound Pressure Level meter -- mga 2k++ daw sa Radio Shack).

Thanks for the reply. Like stated in the quote above, I purchased my unit at watsons. And as for when I bought my unit, it was about two months ago. AFAIK, my unit is still under warranty but I would just like to know if I need to bring all the accesories (ex. RCA cables) that came with the unit if I were to have my unit replaced.

Although i don't have a 5.1 setup at this time, around 2 weeks ago I was so curious about the 5.1 outputs of my DVD9000. So I configured my player for Dolby Digital, connected my active sub to the LFE output,  inserted a DVD movie, and listened to the rumbles. Then I connected my prologic receiver (prologic disabled) to the Right Surround and Left Surround outputs and listened to the stereo surrounds (although the sound was coming from my Front Left and Front Right speakers). Same goes with the Center Channel output.

      Currently my DVD9000 is configured in Dolby Digital with LT and RT settings. Front Left and Front Right outputs connected to my Pro Logic Receiver in Pro Logic Mode, and LFE output connected to my active sub. Nagiipon nalang ng pambili ng another set of amps for the center and surround channels so i can make use of all the 5.1 channel outputs of my NextBase DVD player.  ;D

ahhh?! oo nga noh, wasn't able to try that. ive read it before here na somethin about removing the battery nga...hmmm...ma-try nga...

thnx bro!

question though...whats the possible reason why the need to remove the battery sa remote for that long? to reset the chips inside???  ???

      Currently my DVD9000 is configured in Dolby Digital with LT and RT settings. Front Left and Front Right outputs connected to my Pro Logic Receiver in Pro Logic Mode, and LFE output connected to my active sub. Nagiipon nalang ng pambili ng another set of amps for the center and surround channels so i can make use of all the 5.1 channel outputs of my NextBase DVD player.  ;D



Hmmm... If you are saving up to buy another set of Sakura or other inexpensive amps, okay plan mo. But if you're going to spend lang naman, eh, di get na lang a good receiver that can decode DD and DTS. I would assume (and the assumption may be wrong) that the decoder of a higher end receiver (higher than Sakura et al anyway) like Harman Kardon, Yamaha, Denon, etc... would be better than the built in decoder of the Nextbase.

Not to mention my nextbase doesn't have a built in DTS.

I'm currently troubleshooting an old stereo amplifier/booster from college, buti nalang PCs can be used as a simple function generator and oscilloscope,  but i'm looking into DIY Chip amps which i can upgrade up to 200watts RMS per channel as time goes by.

Eventually, hopefully next year, makakabili na ako ng DDEX/DTSES capable receiver.

I still do enjoy watching movies using my good ol' pioneer prologic receiver. I honestly believe it still  sounds better than some of our movie houses here. Syempre except yung sa Glorietta and Greenbelt.  ;D

It's very True

if its true, how can I fix the problem?

A 14" or better a 16" Desk fan will do the trick, I use one and my record is 6 hours non-stop viewing with minimal heat generated on the discs noted.

can I install 1 of those fans used on computers? pwede ba un?

No need for that, but if you want, check out the posts of fellow member Vacummtubes, right on this thread, he posted the howtodoit technique, picture and all, guess you'll have to surf thru all the early pages, or if you want send him a pm, I'm sure he's more than willing to help you out. ;) ;D

Your only choice is the Red and White RCA audio out.
It's an analog out to be connected  or "tap" to the input audio of your " component "...No need to worry, the Nextbase has a default stereo downmix, hence you'll get proper audio sans' any fine tuning. ;) ;D

Quote
AUDIO Set-up kasi parang di maganda yung current set-up ko (naka live ung voice tsaka living room yung environment nya),

Your "component" is the culprit, just look for the standard setting, or rather turn off the setting so that you'll get the proper stereo 2 channel mode, which is the "most" you can get from your set-up.

Now if your'e still not satisfied with this ::)
Read on the different threads(audio/General) and take a deep breath, since you'll need to spend at least 3 thousand pesos more for the Raon type of home theater speakers (still analog) and at the very least 18 to 20 thousand for a proper decent amplifier(capable of decoding digital and analog inputs) and a set of decent speakers. ;)

Post by: trox on Sep 18, 2003 at 09:01 PM
I'm Confused... ???

Finally I bought one!  Pero nakakalito nung una... Ganito yun...  About 2 wks ago, I went to RAON para mag canvas ng NB slim and I found that all stores there carry the 315 model.  Then kanina nagpunta na ko sa RAON shopping center para bumili and I saw these 2 stores na may ibang model ng NB DVD-9000.  Lets call them Store1 and Store2.  

sa store1 they thave these 2 models, the 315 and 305.  Ang nakakalito, yung 305 nila ay yung parang new model na may up / down volume sa right side, same appearance ng karaniwang NB slim na nakikita ko sa ibang stores.  At sabi nung tindero OLD model daw yun kc walang DTS.  Then yung isang model naman ay labeled 315, looks like old model to me, and sabi nung tindero ay NEW model daw nila dahil MAY DTS daw.  So i got confused kc sa nabasa ko d2 sa pinoyDVD ay ang new model ang walang DTS right?

So may nakita ako sa Store2 that exactly the same 2 models as in Store1, pero nung tiningnan ko sa likod ay THE SAME model ang nakalagay, both 315...!!! ganito ba talaga ang NB? anyway, nagtanong ako sa tindera naman sa Store2 and sabi nya ay mas bago daw yung isang model dahil nga may DTS daw at may digital Echo function.  

So balik ako sa kay Store1 dahil mas ok ang warranty nya, 6mo. replace plus 6mo parts and service so 1yr lahat.  I have them tested both and they have this DVD disc that has 3 audio test function, for DTS, AC3 DD and THX, dun sa suppose to be new model (that looks like old model) may sound yung DTS test pero dun sa supposed to be Old model (that looks like new model) walang sound yung DTS test.

So what I concluded kanina is this (pls. correct me if i'm wrong)  That somehow the labels are switched for both models.  

1) yung may DTS and digital Echo ay the old 305 model?  Mas malaki at mahaba ito ng konti kesa dun sa walang DTS function.
2) yung walang DTS function ay the new 315 model?  It also has a better menu UI than the other model.

So what I did is I bought the one with DTS and echo function.

I know nakakalito, nalilito ba kayo? so for clarification, parang ganito yung itsura nung walang DTS function na hindi ko binili.  Maganda nga lang ang appearance nya at Menu UI kesa dun sa isang nabili ko.

(http://www.next-base.com/new/images/mdvd-1.jpg)

I'll post some pix of the one i bought later.

So what do you think guys? Did I make the right decision to go for the older model (supposing i'm right) with DTS but not so good appearance and Menu UI?

Sorry po ang haba na ng post ko pero I have some questions:
1) What is the difference bet. the 305 and the new 315 model aside from appearance, Menu UI at size?  Lahat ba ng nape play ng 315 nape play din ng 305? like MP3 , CDRW, JPG?
2) What are the bugs / problems I should expect from the 305?  What is this lip synch problem?
3) How do I upgrade its firmware and how would I know what firmware version I have?
4) After 1 yr kaya may lifetime warranty pa ito sa distributor?

Btw, I got it for P3,100 sa 877 General Merchandise with 1 year warranty.

Thanks

Hi! From the threads that i've read, u can still watch dts encoded discs and hear sound using only tv speakers if your audio set-up is stereo but you cannot hear dts sound.

anyways, kanina i was able to test the new NB player w/ built in screen sa may makati cinema square... what i can say is that the screen display is very clear :o... but the audio sound from the built in speaker is "so-so" ::)... the whole package comes with rca cables, car adaptor(for the battery), a battery pack(3 hours lifetime), an ac adaptor, a card type remote control and a leather case...

Curious na kasi ako at gusto ko na ring bumili, the one I'm using right now is just my DVD-rom and sometimes it doesn't play P'ted ones,so hindi ko ma-enjoy yung movie,nagha-hire na lang ako kahit mga luma na basta orig.

julz7776,

without even thinking twice, per the price tag of nextbase dvd9000 at 3,200pesos and the features it possess and delivers plus its reliable durability, plus the added assurance now of having an official service center, i personally will declare that nextbase can perform at par with sony or philips in the same level models, BUT IN TERMS OF VALUE FOR MONEY, IT IS SO FAR UNBEATABLE. in short, nextbase can stand on its own versus the branded players, and i dont think i will be embarassed to have it compete with same level branded players ANYTIME.

my exact sentiments bestbuy  ;D
was hooked on getting a pioneer HTIB with the 5-disc carousel tuner player but opted for this one instead... why?
price of the nextbase HTIB is half that of the pioneer....
qualify ko lang kasi i'm no big audiophile but am a real tube addict (finally admitted that publicly ha ha ha)...
even if i can afford to buy the pioneer i still have other things to consider (having a family at that), besides i just have a small condo and not a full "listening/movie room"
my intro to dvd c/o the samwon unit proved a-ok as it has served me well for a year without any hiccups whatsover.... i would say getting a mid-priced HTIB suits me just right.
tho, that's in my own humble opin.

if you are going to use the center/front/surround rca outs of  the nextbase diyan lang kailangan na may dts/dd encoder to hear the dts/dd mixed sound.  if you only use the stereo outs of the player wa epek kasi yung stereo outs hindi affected ng dts/dd encoder.  ang ibig sabihin ng dts at dd ay ang pagseparate ng tunog sa 5.1 channels through either optical out to be processed by a dd/dts capable receiver or through the nextbase 5.1 outs.... ibang kompanya lang ang gumawa ng mix. ang dts ay gawa ng digital theater systems,inc. at ang dolby digital ay gawa ng dolby. so kahit ano pa ang lumalabas na dts o dd sa screen kung hindi naman optical or yung corresponding rca outs ng 5.1 channels. no effect.  is it clearer or lalong lumabo? ;D

umm.. parang fake nextbase ata nabili mo. parang pinaskel lang ang logo ng nextbase.

my slim nextbase is not here in my home now, but at my sister's house, so i cannot judge the remote control, YET, it seems like iba rin ang layout ng remote control mo eh. Tama ang kulay, white. but the lay out of the keys seems different. I do not recall the PLAY button to be in that position (semi twisted key design).

the "original" slim DVD9000 bought from quiapo's Watsons Photo supply has the "FIELD" button in the remote. Yours had the "3D" which is not what the current set of DVD9000 slim has. In fact, I recall that my PROMAC DVD-4002 is the one with a "3D" button.

The absence of the 'FIELD" button when i reinspected your pictures at pbase is the one which made me wonder if your unit is indeed an original or imitation.

Furthermore, the current DVD9000slim does NOT have the round knob on the right side of the chasis/body which in your case seems to be holding some controls (not too visible kasi from your pic). YET the current original DVD9000-slim from Watson's has a round knob on the right hand side PERO it just has 2 markings: a + and a - sign. Yours does NOT have that sign.

The Original DVD9000-slim's tray for the disc is NOT as slim/small as yours have.

In short, I suspect you seem to have bought a ...umm.. fake one.

Kasi naman, all the tips have been laid out to you, still you insist to get it from somewhere else.  I do understand the distance is a factor indeed, but then again, in Pinas, once you bought something, it is almost next to impossible to have it returned for your money back.

tsk tsk tsk..... wished I could be more helpful.

buyers beware indeed.

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 21, 2003 at 10:29 AM
trox,

i dont ever recalled seeing the nextbase evolve into the chasis as your unit has.

what i seem to recall is a brand called ELECOM sold previously by nintendo that looks more similar to yours; as well as other generic china branded players like FUKUDA.

but definitely NOT nextbase.

your remote control itself is more similar in layout with KEBAO though Kebao's comes in colored gray, but the keys are exactly the same as yours where the PLAY button is triangular shaped button.

I think the earlier version Nextbase slim which HAD DTS decoder sports exactly the same chasis and appearance as the current lot which does NOT have dts decoding. only the software or chips inside were different, NOT THE APPEARANCE.

better have it replaced. DOES your nextbase came with a warranty card from "technopoint" (yata) which is the official local service center? kung wala, nakuuu..... IBALIK MO NA AGAD. sayang pera mo.

sincerely,

Hi p.dividdy,

medyo clearer na ng konti.  eto na lang ang question  ko, kung wala bang dts decoder ang player  ko at may dts encoded  disc akong pinapanood, may lalabas bang sound sa tv speakers  ko o wala?

thanks

dont concern yourself too much about dts and dd because sa setup mo you dont need it..sa dvd na disc ang soundtrack lang na kailang mo is the 2 channel track.   if u have a 5.1 setup then u need the dts / dd tracks encoded sa disc.

Hi guys,

I replaced my unit with another model ng nextbase nila, yung currently model ng  nextabase that looks like the one  in their website.  medyo tabingi kc yung screen ng konti.  OK nga dun sa nabilhan ko dahil sinabi ko lang may prob. at gs2 ko replace di na nya tiningnan kung may prob nga at replace agad ng gusto kong model eh.  I have the 315 model this time, yung  may volume button sa right side.

Bestbuy:

This time may warranty card  na ng techpoint yung nakuha ko.  Thanks

Update sa DTS:

p.dividdy and to all:

The model I currently have does not have DTS decoder.  When I play a dts encoded disc, no sound comes out from my TV speaker unlike the previous "nextbase" that I had, when  I press audio and DTS shows on screen, may sound na lumalabas even sa tv speakers.  I guess kailangan pa rin  ng DTS encoder kahit tv speakers lang?

Anyway, I read somewhere  na current model ng NB slim can  play  .AVI and Quicktime? can anyone  confirm this?

So far  ok ang NB slim,  nag viewing marathon kami  yesterday pagka  replace ko for 12 hours pero wala akong nakitang problema, even the lipsynch problem wala...  Medyo mainit lang sya ng konti but not that hot.

I'll post additional details later... thanks to all who responded...  ;D

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Sep 22, 2003 at 10:28 AM
trox,

naku, 12 hours marathon? huy, dont do that frequently UNLESS YOU TUTOK AN ELECTRIC FAN sa body ng unit mo!!! its good to break in the unit that long but regular use, i doubt it is adviseable (although those quiapo stalls selling dvd have their nextbase units ON for the whole day, tapos kung ano anong titles pa ang sinasalang oras oras, yet it does not falter).

still, its best to put a fan next beside the nextbase if you will use it in a non-aircon room and for many hours. will save you trips to service center.

i wonder though why your supplier "dared" to make palusot by giving you a "fake" nextbase before giving you the real thing eh meron pala silang real thing? this fake unit you got is the same ones i saw previously in a store at Raon Electronic Center peddling at are merely 2800pesos but i forewarned readers of this thread not to be too gullible over it.

by the way, trox, favor naman:

can you post the complete address and fone number of technopoint service center?? i do have it but its with my sister who lives not with me anymore eh.

thanks and cheers to you for acquiring an excellent investment.

Hi Bestbuy:

Don't worry its just sort of a break-in lang pero madalang mangyayari yun dahil pag may pasok sa school di naman nanonood mga kids ko... saka may 220 box fan akong naka tutuok for both my VHS and NB. :)

Actually if you would refer to my post on page 62 of this thread, dalawa yung NB model na binebenta nila, nung makita ko na may DTS itong model na isa, yun yung kinuha ko thinking na ito yung old model ng NB na nbabasa ko na may DTS.  Wala naman kasing naka post na picture of that model here.. at nabasa ko pa na mas malaki yung old model kesa sa current model na slim.  buti na lang na post ko d2 yung pic so you would able to identify it as "FAKE"  Thanks to you and to all who responded... the best talaga ang posters dito..!  ;D

anyway, here is the address as indicated on warranty card.

611 Oriente st., Binondo Manila
Tel: 245-64-95
Fax: 245-69-71

Hi guys, this is actually the third (and last) thread that I will post my concern. Pasensya na sa mga nakakapansin, medyo desperate kasi ako "magkaalam" tungkol sa dvd players kasi gusto ko na magkaroon para sa haus namin, albeit yung mura lang muna. Here goes:

1. I can see from several threads that Orange and NextBase are good so I think I'll buy one of them. Pero how about speakers? (sorry, talagang bobo pa ako pag dating dito). Yun bang speakers ikakabit directly sa Orange/NextBase or may bibilin pa akong ibang device? Yun kasing kakilala ko may sinasabi pang av receiver, e hindi ko rin alam kung para saan yun.

2. whatever the answer to #1, yung quality ba ng speakers for Orange or NextBase ok na or is there another brand na dapat ko i-consider?

3. Yung tv ko, mga 5yrs old na (21" sony). Meron bang kakabitan ang mga dvd players na ito sa TV ko? ano ba ang kailangan kong hanapin sa tv? RCA lang na kulay yellow ang nakikita ko e. Sabi nila pag-DVD, maganda ang video quality. Kahit ba ganito ang tv ko gaganda rin ang video quality?

Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

Generally, stand-alone dvd players does not have an amplifier. These players cannot amplifies the speaker.

You need an amplifier (or receiver) to power/drive the speakers.

You can use the amplifier on your TV (in the audio video input), then you'll hear a sound.

If you want a hometheater set-up, you need 5pcs of speakers, 5.1ch receiver (or amplifier that has 5.1ch direct inputs) & a subwoofer.

Yup as long as your TV has composite video input then you can connect your dvd player in it.

2. If ever i-connect ko yung player sa mini-component ko para yun ang gawin kong amplifier, pwede ba yun?

3. ano po ang ibig sabihin ng composite video input? sa mga 5yr old tv, meron na ba nun? ang masasabi ko lang, merong rca input yung tv ko (sa harapan) na dun ko kinakabit yung videocam namin para mapanood. yun ba yung tinutukoy mo?

also, may mga threads din na tungkol sa dolby, sa dts, yung iba daw 5.1 etc. Hindi ko pa maintindihan ang mga ito e, kailangan ko ba malaman itong mga ito bago ako bumili ng player?

kung ikakabit ko ba sa component ko yung player, maganda rin ang audio quality?
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: f1_smiley on Sep 23, 2003 at 01:20 PM
to complicate the matter... he he he
audiophiles correct me if i'm wrong....

5.1 ch comprises the following
front right speaker
front left speaker
(front) center speaker
rear right speaker
rear left speaker
subwoofer

oks lang siguro gamitin yung speakers ng comp mo pero kailangan mo yung ikabit sa out-line ng dvd player mo.

in effect, pwede namang kahit fronts (left and right) and subs lang - better if with a center speaker lang muna tapos tsaka mo na lang idagdag the rest.

di ako sure dun sa tanong mo about the nextbase na available sa virra mall, check mo na lang nextbase website at yung binebenta nila. ganun ginawa ko sa set ko eh. tapos check mo din yung warranty card... see other posts in this thread.

Two ways:
a. It is connected to the powered speakers/subwoofer link computer multimedia spakears or like the Rongxin Speakers-subwoofer.

my NEXTBASE cant play a DVD-RW,
(philips ang brand ng DVD-RW)
pero nagplay naman ng mahusay sa
sony,philips,samsung dvd players
as well as the DVD-rom.

I used a DVD-R(Memorex) umandar naman sa

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: Niknok on Sep 23, 2003 at 01:58 PM
And the third and cheapest way to achieve near 5.1 surround sound!   ;D

1.  use two minicompos.  connect the first compo to nextbase's FL and FR (not the ordinary audio L & R) and the other one to the SL (or RL) and SR (or RR).

make sure you disable the audio setup speaker downmix to OFF.

disable also the center speaker so it will automatically mix to the FR and FL speakers

disable also the subwoofer

set the FL and FR speaker to LARGE setting.  I think it makes the LFE (subwoofer) channel mix with the fronts

Try it! it works for me...just dont know what kind of 4 channel surround it is but i tested it versus a real 5.1 and the discreteness (is that the right term?) of the rear surrounds is the same for this 4 channel setup and the 5.1...the only difference is that the center and sub "mixes" with the fronts.  and as long as you have a good front setup (good sounding compo with big enough speakers) its very similar to a real 5.1...its definitely better than using just one stereo compo...

i actually posted a similar thread in the AUDIO section but havent gotten any response or corrections to the setup. so try it!

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: Philander on Sep 23, 2003 at 02:12 PM
Niknok,


Yes, the set-up you made is correct, you might want to add aditional amplifier (even mono) for the center speaker/channel for you to achieve the 5.1 ch setup, of course adding of a subwoofer will give more life to your set-up.


dunforgiven,

Sx00 series of Nextbase is better because of build-in amplifier and tuner with complete speakers.

The Nextbase 9000 is a stand-alone dvd player.. in order for your to achieve the 5.1 ch effect, you need receiver (or amplifier), 5 speakers, and a subwoofer where all of them are present in the Sx00 series of Nextbase.

But some users experienced problem with Sx00 series regarding reading of DVDs.

Wag ka muna bumili ng amplifier.... yun munang mini-component ang gamitin mo, then konting kaalalaman pa sa DVD Technology or tanong-tanong ka lang. Para mas maintindihan mo ang principles ng HomeTheater.

Maraming generic receiver/amplifier with different characteristics and usage. Or kung yung mini-component mo may 5.1ch analog input, then hindi mo na kailangan pang bumili ng amplifier/receiver.

The Nextbase 9000 is a stand-alone dvd player.. in order for your to achieve the 5.1 ch effect, you need receiver (or amplifier), 5 speakers, and a subwoofer where all of them are present in the Sx00 series of Nextbase.

But some users experienced problem with Sx00 series regarding reading of DVDs.

tsk tsk.... although its currently a minor irritation to me and haven't really tested my newly bought s400.... i'm experiencing some skips with some discs...

last question na lang po kasi nagiging makulit na ako e...

meron bang service centers ang nextbase? or orange? ayoko kasi bumili ng walang mag-aayos lalo na't wala pa akong masyadong alam sa dvds

smiley,

san mo nabili s400 mo? magkano ba ang ganyang klase?

phasetron audio systems
park square 1 (parking building nung dating quad na ngayon ay glorietta1 na) ground floor
got it for P12,995 with 1 year warranty
meron din sa nintendo, harrison plaza (malapit dun sa mcdo and max) P12,000 flat but with only 3 months warranty
sabi sa phasetron, dun lang dalhin kung masiraan tapos sila na bahala kumontak sa service center ng nextbase  ;D

trox,

ganito na lang basta may tumutunog dts man o hindi ok na yan  ;D

philander,

pero yung disc nya encoded with dts5.1 lang therefore yung audio na naririnig niya is still the normal 2ch stereo, dont you think na kaya may naririnig pa rin sya kahit dts na siya sa screen is that nakabypass yung dts/dd  sa stereo outs.  afaik...you dont get true dts stereo without a dts stereo encoded disc and also a dts encoder built in with sound coming out of the 5.1 outs.. ;D

Thanks  p.dividdy.. salamat  sa mga replies.. wag ka sana magsasawa...  :)

Niknok,


Yes, the set-up you made is correct, you might want to add aditional amplifier (even mono) for the center speaker/channel for you to achieve the 5.1 ch setup, of course adding of a subwoofer will give more life to your set-up.


dunforgiven,

Sx00 series of Nextbase is better because of build-in amplifier and tuner with complete speakers.

Thanks for confirming the setup.  I actually put a center speaker using my BOKA active computerspeakers (used a RCA to crown plug converter cable) but can u imagine how much of a contraption the whole setup looks like?  HAHAHA! so i took it out...and besides im not confident how good the magnetic shielding of that elcheapo speaker was and was afraid it might discolor my TV.

oh, i was pleasantly surprised to find that the nextbase had bass boost and super bass(?) setting which i think improved the lower freqs...

The whole setup is temporary until i save up enough money for the real deal.  that might take a while as i just paid 5000 pesos for scraping the paint off a brandnew hondacity this morning at a pay parking...that's a high price to pay to park in Makati.  sorry for ranting here...hehehe not my day...

I can relate, because this was my first set-up. I had 2 pcs of amplifiers, 1 computer speakers (worth Php 300), and a subwoofer.

I just changed the cables of the computer speakers to lengthen them for my surround. Also I changed the mini-stereo jack to stereo RCA so i can connect it to the DVD player. Then viola, I have alternative (el-cheapo) 5.1 set-up.

I can live with it in movies, eventhough there are tonal and timbre differences, but I don't like how it sound in music.

After that... prologic receiver, now 6.1 DD-EX & DTS-ES Receiver and more decent speakers.

Niknok,

I have a similar setup. I have an existing stereo amplifier with passive sub for my front, and an old mini compo for my rear. And you know what I did for the center effect? I used my TV. You can buy an RCA cable(mono to stereo), and connect one end (mono) to your dvd player, and the stereo end to your tv.  Make sure to adjust properly the individual volume controls to achieve optimum 5.1 effect.

sa tingin ko ang dts ay hardware related. pag bili ka kasi ng dvd may dts surround or dts out na nakalagay sa player. pag dts surround may decoder sya so that dts encoded disc will work pag dts out pass thru lang sya kailangan mo pa ng amplifier na may dts decoder. di naman siguro pwede na upgrade thru sofware ang dts out lang kasi mas mahal ang dvd na may dts surround kesa dts out lang. kung pwede di wala sanang problema kung dts out lang ang mabibili kasi pwede naman palang i upgrade. am i right dvd gurus?

Alam nyo ba kung magkakano iyong bagong model ng next base dvd? Yung MDVD? parang ang ganda kasi ng dating noon.  By the way sana maglabas ang nextbase ng HTIB na may separate amplifier na doon nakalagay sa subwoofer para hindi agad madali maginit ang unit kasi kasama ang amplifier sa mismong body niya. may nakita kasi ako sa Abenson na HTIB ASAHI ang brand name. Parang nasa subwoofer ang amplifier kasi madaming conections sa likod ng subwoofer, nandoon din ang control sa amplifier ng mga volumes ng speakers. Ang style pala ng subwoofer ay parang kagaya ng Rongxin na 5.1 speakers.

at least hindi masasayang ang pagod mo to go downtown. regarding the rongxin, you can get it naman at raon electronics mall or at carriedo malls. i think the asking price is around 2,200pesos yata??? am i right or it is 3,200pesos?

The Normal (Pan and scan) mode doesnt seem to work in my nextbase?  isnt it supposed to "pan and scan"  a widescreen format to fit into fullscreen?  sorry im new to this so pls pardon my ignorance.   are there just certain DVD releases that have this encoded into the disk to enable Normal P/S?

Another thing,  since my nextbase is connected to my Sony compo, I compared how it sounded when playing audio cds to the builtin cd player of the Sony compo,  and surprisingly, i like the audio cd output of the nextbase better!  nagtunong lata yung sa Sony...parang lumaki yung soundstage nya siguro kasi naka-ON yung mga bass boost and clear boost blah blah...i will try listening longer baka first impression lang pala and later nakakapagod pakinggan...i tried playing with the reverb modes din pala, some are okay some modes are OA...hehehe...

Ako mabait!  ;D :P

Nextbase NB9000 is about 3.2K you can purchase it at Raon Quaipo, Nintendo Shops, Greenhills Shoping Complex, even at SM, etc.


Rongxin 89dv is a speaker system (5 speakers and a subwoofer) just like computer/multimedia speakers, where you can connect your DVD player, cd player, discman, etc. to amplify the sound. Basically, its a powered speaker system.

The encoded data on the DVD should also have a Pan and Scan mode, otherwise, it wouldn't work, only a few DVDs came out with this encoding, and with my collection, It's only "The Lover" that's encoded in the Pan&Scan mode.

Hi to all,

This is for FYI only.  I called Techpoint earlier today to clarify their position on official warranty for Nextbase DVD-9000.  I spoke to a certain Jane and she said that they only give 6mo. replace warranty on NB Slim.  After 6 mo. may bayad na daw at di raw pwede dalhin sa kanila deretso ang unit.  Kailangan daw sa vendor mo dadalhin.  Pwede mo lang daw ideretso sa kanila pag non-existent na yung vendor mo, meaning nag sara na.

After 11 months of generally trouble-free operation, nagloloko na yung Nextbase DVD9000 ko.I should clarify though that my players are well-used and abused since I watch a lot of R1/R3/R2 DVD films and VCD/SVCD backups that I encode myself.

The Nextbase's companion player, a Pioneer 535K is still chugging along reliably after 2 years.

My advice? Generic players are fine for everyday use. The  Konzert and Amoisonic units which I gave to family members are still in good working condition. However, if you plan to subject your player to extended viewing or testing periods under different conditions, or intend to use a wide variety of generic media (DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW), I'd recommend spending a little more and buying a branded unit.

No problem dunforgiven.  Goodluck on your setup.  Pls. post kung saan ka nakabili ng Rongxin 89dv at how much.

NABILI KO NA YUNG NB9000 & RONGXIN 89DV!!!!!

YIPEE!!!!!  :) ;) :D ;D :) ;) :D ;D

trox, sa Hope Star ko nabili yung 89dv, mga sampung shops ang pinagtanungan ko at puro 88dv lang sila, talagang Hope Star lang yata ang merong 89 model.

kaso pag uwi ko sa bahay, kinulang ako ng rca cables kasi ang iigsi nung mga kasama sa rongxin at 3pcs lang ang kasama sa NB, kaya hindi ko tuloy nai-setup ng 5.1. shet!  >:( :'(

anyway, bili na lang ako bukas so baka bago mag-weekend maayos ko na ang setup.

eto nga pala ang prices ng nabili ko: NB9000-3,150 pesos with 4mos warranty (dun sa katabi ng HopeStar). Rongxin 89dv-2,300 (sagad na daw ito, ewan ko lang kung mas malakas ang appeal nyo dun sa mga salesladies)

After 11 months of generally trouble-free operation, nagloloko na yung Nextbase DVD9000 ko.
  • Noisy playback with distinct screeches when using the "Next" button to move from chapter to chapter.  
  • Long pauses on layer breaks
  • Refuses to play back several homemade platinum VCD/SVCD CDRs and generic purple DVD-Rs. Ugly green blocks galore towards the end of the film (outer part of the CD).
I should clarify though that my players are well-used and abused since I watch a lot of R1/R3/R2 DVD films and VCD/SVCD backups that I encode myself.

The Nextbase's companion player, a Pioneer 535K is still chugging along reliably after 2 years.

My advice? Generic players are fine for everyday use. The  Konzert and Amoisonic units which I gave to family members are still in good working condition. However, if you plan to subject your player to extended viewing or testing periods under different conditions, or intend to use a wide variety of generic media (DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW), I'd recommend spending a little more and buying a branded unit.

Hiya Firewired, isn't it your DVD9000 is the older gold one, not the slim type?

ok naman ang bass nya malakas pero nde gnun ka low. balak ko mag dynaquest DQ-12.

thanks
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD

yeboy...
that's precisely the system that i acquired a fews weeks back.... what can i say atm? it rocks (for an HTIB that costs more than half the price of a pioneer system)!!!  8)
here's the nextbase website
http://www.next-base.com/new/product-s400.htm (http://www.next-base.com/new/product-s400.htm)
so you can review the technical specs....
btw, i got it for P12,995 with 1 year warranty @ phasetron, parks square 1.
nintendo harisson plaza sells it at P12k flat with 3 mos. warranty. you might want to check with hopestar.
sift back through this link for their phonenumber.

Hi f1_smiley:

my nb slim 9000 can play jpg's converted from photoshop, paintshop pro, mspaint and many more.  it can even play images taken directly from my Canon Powershot A70 on full resolution mode.  I haven't tested if nb 9000 can play images with the extension .jpeg though, just .jpg.  so i think as long as the image conformes with the JPG standard it should display fine.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD

yebs...
you can order sa ps1 nung s400 kung gusto mo dun kumuha  ;)
was hesitant to buy din but looking at my budget, that's what i can afford lang atm. imagine for that amount you already have a complete 5.1 dvd system  :o kewl d ba?
tagal ko nang gustong magkaron ng home theater eh ngayon lang na-realize at a big discount without hiccups.
so far, there's only 1 p-disc na hindi nya nabasa na pinatetest ko sa ofismates ko. plus a few p-discs na may konting skips. as for r1 and r3 discs.... super clear for both audio and video. haba rin nung cables na provided so you won't have problems setting it up - that also caught my fancy as i dont like to purchase addl cables pa.
only thing lacking for me are speaker stands for my rears which they have for about 2200 (dont know kung pair na yun - ganz klar brand). tho the set is inclusive of 4 wall brackets na rin.
i was sifting through this thread several times and also chanced upon the nextbase website. afterwards, i compared the three sets based on specs tapos went to the store. what i did was to have it opened and had it test auditioned in front of me, right then and there i bought it!  8)

just over the weekend, i watched episode 1 inclusive of the deleted scenes and saving private ryan r1 discs.... ASTIG!

my nb slim can read mp3s and jpgs even if its on multiple directories. u just have to navigate to that folder para ma view mo sya. at may slideshow feature din sya.. cool na cool talaga.  cdr or cdrw pwede rin.  I just burn it using nero or even windows xp's own burning feature.

ganitong ganito ang nb slim ko tol pati remote.

(http://www.next-base.com/new/images/mdvd-1.jpg)

I read somewhere na pwede rin ang .avi at quicktime pero di marecognize ng player ko.  

bro, pareho ba tayo ng NB slim? ganyan din ba ang model ng unit mo?  Nakalagay nga pala sa manual ko MDVD model pero sa likod yung 17315 something.

     I have noticed that sometimes upon opening the unit, WALANG ILAW yung dalawang "minibulb" na kulay bluegreen (not sure bout the color hehe...) sa taas at baba ng mga adjust buttons. :( tsaka parang grounded ang mga speakers pag naka standby mode (humming sound). Nangyayari din ba sa inyo to?

interesting.... burned on the same cd-r last night on the root directory. at least now nagplay siya but no display, just the usual orange nextbase logo but the lcd panel displayed play time na. hmmm.... must be that your model supports it fully. will try using cd-rw and put mp3 in it too.

scully, there's no other place (as in wala talaga) where you can buy the 89dv model of Rongxin, sa Hope Star lang talaga sa Raon Shopping Center. Yung 88dv model nagkalat pero sayang lang... from Laspinas madali lang naman, take the LRT from the nearest station to you and then get down on Carriedo then go straight to Raon Shopping Center.

WARNING: that 89dv almost sprained my arm! make it sure na may kasama kang lalaking sanay magbuhay ng mabibigat dahil nung ako, every 15 steps pinagpapalit ko ng kamay ang pagbitbit ko e.... tapos dun pa ko sa sm carriedo naka-park  >:(

salamatches.

hi scully,

another way to go to raon is via a bus from ayala (althou medyo maglalakad ka lang ng onti, distance being somewhat like entering landmark and gettin out the far end exit from the way you got in ;D). anyways, get off sa tapat ng Quiapo church (which would be on your left coming from makati) then go to the church side thru the underpass. a few more steps and your there. :D malapit na din dun yung Watson's. :D

you could also get off sa central terminal ng LRT (asuming mag-eLRT ka) then walk a bit towards the Lawton bus terminals and get on a jip to Quiapo (which is just beyond the bridge - forgot what that bridge is called. ;D

if your planin to go to raon make sure you tag along a guy who would not only serve as "tagabitbit" - as what dunforgiven mentioned-  but also serve as a your bodyguard. medyo delikado kasi sa raon madaming mandurukot etc etc...

we're talking of NB DVD9000, right? do the JPG files need to be in the root? or it doesn't matter even if the JPGs are inside different folders.

thanks! am getting excited now.

scully, there's no other place (as in wala talaga) where you can buy the 89dv model of Rongxin, sa Hope Star lang talaga sa Raon Shopping Center. Yung 88dv model nagkalat pero sayang lang... from Laspinas madali lang naman, take the LRT from the nearest station to you and then get down on Carriedo then go straight to Raon Shopping Center.

WARNING: that 89dv almost sprained my arm! make it sure na may kasama kang lalaking sanay magbuhay ng mabibigat dahil nung ako, every 15 steps pinagpapalit ko ng kamay ang pagbitbit ko e.... tapos dun pa ko sa sm carriedo naka-park  >:(

Ha!  not entirely correct.  I was in Baclaran yesterday and stumbled upon a store selling the 89DV!!!  Near the Baclaran LRT terminal go to the second floor of d baclaran shopping center (the one with Jollibee)  and go to the 2nd floor.  there are lots of VCD player stalls there (lots of those HUG and Ahoo speakers)  there is one stall selling the 89DV for 2300 pesos.  just check each stall, theyre not too many, im sure you will find it. if i remember, from the escalator go straight to the end of the stalls then turn right.  its the 2nd or 3rd store from the turn...

im sure its the 89DV coz it says 89DV and AC-3 on the front of the subwoofer.  the controls seem like small push buttons, right?

tell us if you find it...happy hunting!

salamatches dunforgiven, phantom and niknok  :)

i'll be be bringing my dad's boy-helper along. i'll probably go this sunday to try out niknok's suggestion. post ako if i finally get one.

as for whether the NB9000 displays jpegs from cdrs, mine did  ;D  i just tried it this morning before i left for work. slide-slow effect siya & like one of you mentioned here, pwede siyang i-rotate (see mulder upside down!)  & i-zoom (ang cute ng nunal ni scully!) heheh.

tanong ko lang, can it play mpegs or avi? alam ko ayaw ng rm. may nag-play na video from my cdr but i can't remember what format it was.

NB DVD9000 = NBDVD9000 model 315?

you guys are refering to the NB DVD9000 model 315 as being able to read jpgs, mpgs, etc? tama?

i believe so wala na ata nung dating model..lahat ngayon dvd9000-315..

as for playing,mpeg lang ang kaya nya..but all u need is a video converter..mine nga i download trailers,that is .mov format..then encode it to mpg..then burn..then may TRAILER disc ka na.. ;D great for testing ur setup..

regarding nextbase dvd9000 slim with serial number:

Model DVD-9000-17305M3S

S/N MB9007031603212


1. It can read JPEG files burnt into CD-R discs.  I tried a CD-RW disc but it wasnt able to read (unloadable disc error message sa screen) but i recalled the CD-RW i placed was still an OPEN disc, meaning, hindi ko pa kasi closed session ito since i am still uploading lots of jpegs and bmp pics into the disc. Thus, that might be the reason why the Nextbase wasnt able to read from it.

2. It has NO KARAOKE PITCH CONTROL You cannot manipulate music/vocals to any degree up or down.  The only Karaoke feature available for you seems to be ECHO EFFECT. nothing more.

3. When you click SET-UP, the mainframe is similar to SAST AEP-816 wherein the options are listed in a vertical presentation and chosing an option would be to click the DOWN arrow.  I am explaining this as my NOT SLIM CHAMPAGNE GOLD DVD9000 acquired last year has a SETUP interface where the options are listed HORIZONTALLY.

I hope these salient features are helpful to everyone. This unit was acquired yesterday at Watsons Quiapo.

I do wonder though why my model is DVD9000-17305M3S when di ba it should be 17315 already??? hmmmm.... old stock kaya ito?

this is the slim silver colored player with the "+/-" button on the rightmost.

those might have been older (but nevertheless still brand new) stocks whose software has been "upgraded". my friend who bought his unit there din (watson's) is also a 305... but it doesn't support DTS (i.e. no decoder) and has not shown signs of the lip sync problem, just like the 315.  ;D

I could be wrong but none of the stand alone dvd players do support the playback of raw AVI file format... so far only DivX compression are supported by some DVD players that supports DivX avi file.

Remember that an 18 minutes of AVI file is about 4GB in file size.

Generally, stand-alone dvd players can playback the following: mpeg 1*, mpeg 2*, mp3, mpa,  jpeg file formats.
*- compression dependent

HTH.

regarding the FAKE Nextbase posted on this thread...

i went to NMB and asked Neslon the newest NB9000 and he gave me the one that was posted here as a "fake" NB9000. it the same sticker Model DVD-9000-17305M3S. as the other "original" NB9000 (with pics posted on this thread as well)

basically he says that that "fake" one was 5.1 and that he is giving 1yr warranty for this unit?

can anyone clarify this? Fake=5.1 and Orig no 5.1?
Why is he endorsing this "fake unit"?

"Orig" Unit = 6months (replace unit) x months service warrant? with warranty card...

"Fake" Unit = 3months (replace unit) = 9months service warranty / no warranty card...

*wierd lang... kse he even mentioned browsing  pinoydvd for info regarding the unit...
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: dunforgiven on Oct 07, 2003 at 04:30 PM
Hi yatot... here's my input on this (i've just purchased my NB9000 2 wks ago):

The warranty actually depends on the store where you purchase the unit. I got mine for 4 months warranty (by the way, my unit is the one with 5.1)

Regarding the Orig=5.1, Fake=no 5.1 I think there's a misconception here. The one without 5.1 is the older model but both (with or without 5.1) are orig.

The FAKE model mentioned in this thread I believe is the one with DTS decoder because, from what I understood before buying my unit, the real NB9000 only has dolby decoder, no dts

To the other NB owners, please correct me if i'm wrong

mga Nextbase gurus, para saan ang LT/RT setting na downmix... salamat.

Lt/Rt setting is for Dolby Pro-Logic receivers/processors. two-channel input then 5.1 channel output.

Stereo setting is for TV stereo (L & R) speakers or 2.1 speaker system.

VSS is simulating rear speakers in two speaker (L & R)setup. connect your speaker system's audio to the player's FR & FL (front) output. with the right movie/audio CD, this setting is much better compared to Stereo however, in some DVD movies or audio CDs, the resulting audio is too garbled or irritating.

great info.  pakiclarify lang po yung sa Lt/Rt, so inorder to use the prologic function i have to switch also the Lt/Rt downmix aside from switching ON the prologic in the menu?  how about the connections,  i think 4 channel lang ang prologic di ba?

pano naman yung stereo na 2.1?  pwede ba i-activate yung sub (.1) kahit naka stereo downmix lang?

after much deliberation and soul searching... i finally relented and bought a nexbase dvd player... (it was a close race between the NB and the kebao... but the lack of stocks of the kebao edged it out. sorry kebao. ;D)

i have a cousin who has the old 305 and noticed na the new 315 has no DTS decoder anymore. but the lip sync problem is now gone!

also noticed that 315's can no longer access the "preference menu". and the only menu language avail is english (like that matters. he he he.)

i must say i was impressed... it played discs rejected by my old aiwa flawlessly... if ever there was a glitch... a simple "eject, re-insert and play" did the trick. and best of all! it played my anamorphic pal disc properly! i noticed that in the other brands. the color was "kalat" and the screen wasn't good as the nextbase when it came to this disc. will have to "torture test" this soon to check if i got a lemon... but so far, so good.  ::)

The store that I bought my "fake" NB from also gave me 1 yr. warranty.  6mo replace + 6mo parts & service. although dun sa orig Nb ganun din ang warranty nya.  pero pinagpipilitan nya na mas bago yung "fake".  it even got the mdel 315 on the back.  tapos yung display unit nya ng orig ay 305 ang model sa likod.  pero nung pinapalitan ko yung "fake" ng orig ay new stock ang nakuha ko.  straight from the big box na puro nb slim ang laman.  and this time it has the correct model sa likod. which is the 315.

tama ka dyan! sige lang ng sige as long as under warranty pa. (under reasonable circumstances syempre... kung i-itsa mo sya sa labas ng bintana ... eh, ibang usapan na iyon! ;D) that's the only way you'll find a defect on the player... by using it.

My NB 2-soo gave out on me after only less than a month.  It ran hot all the time, until one day it just wouldn't turn on anymore.

Anyway, since I had a full warranty, I took it back to the store and they replaced it with a new one.  The newer model doesn't run as hot (in fact nto at all) and the finish of the case is a little rougher than before.

Anyhow, I found the packaged speaker system to be a bit lacking in delivering the much needed oompf for a real cinematic effect.  Been thinking of replacing them with some other speaker system.  Any suggestions?

nung nag-test tone ako, mahina yung sound sa left surround speaker.... saan kaya ang diperensya, sa speaker or sa RCA connector ng NB ko?

tsaka ano ba dapat ang settings ng mga speakers (front, rear, sub) Large or Small? By the way, my NB is connected to a Rongxin 89dv

Check your connections sa left surround. Usually small ang settings ng front and rear para lahat ng low frequency effects sa sub ididirect ng player mo.

Its a good question. The test tone is there for us to check if all 5 speakers, FL, C, FR, SL, SR have the same volume level at a constant frequency of 1KHz. Very useful if you have SPL meter at hand.

Ilalabas pa din ng NB yung LFE sa subwoofer kahit hindi sya kasali sa test tone.

Hi everyone,

First, I have never owned a DVD player myself and am seriously considering the Nextbase. I have tried 2 Orange DVD players but they were not mine.

Now the questions for the Nextbase,

1. What specific model should I look for? (Will be used at home so I DONOT prefer the portable/small one)
2. Are there fakes of Nextbase?, how do I spot a fake?
3. I saw a NB783???, any comments?

If you have any other pointers for me to follow please tell me. I have tried reading the whole thread but I can't comprehend the whole thing.  ;D

Best regards,
JojoD
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 25, 2003 at 07:24 AM
jojod818,

1. specific model of nextbase that WAS currently available is the DVD-9000-305 or DVD-9000-315. If you want to see how it looks like, please visit the website www.apollo.com.hk and click products. there you will see this exact model HOWEVER the version that came to the philippines DOES NOT have the VGA output as you will see in the said website. All other things are the same as specified.

2. Fake Nextbase DVD allegedly sports the same model number DVD9000 however, just by looking at the faceplate, you will be able to determine which is the original and which is the fake.  

the ORIGINAL as shown in the website above, has a big round control knob to the right hand side that has a plus and minus (+/-) sign on it.

the FAKE has a similar round control knob on the right, BUT IT IS housing the PLAY/PAUSE/FF/RWIND controls. THAT IS THE FAKE ONE.

3. The NBase DVD783 is allegedly the LATEST VERSION that will replace the then current DVD9000-315 or DVD-9000/305.  The DVD783's faceplate/chasis is totally different from the DVD9000-305/315. The 783 has mirror like shiny faceplate, slimmer disc try, and discreet flourescent display. It SEEMS to be WIDER than the DVD9000-305/315 (in my opinion). The current DVD783 sells around 3,400pesos which is almost the same as the then DVD9000-315/305 model.  The "major" improvement of the 783 over the 9000-305/315 is that the 783 has built in DTS decoder.

There is few feedback yet for the 783 as this was introduced to the market almost just a week ago.  I hope to be able to find someone willing to buy one, so I can accompany him and tinker with the unit.  Also, aside from the DTS built in decoder, the 783 allegedly has VGA output. I do not know the "impact/importance" of this VGA output aside from the fact you can connect it to your PC Monitor. Does this automatically mean that the NB783 is a PROGRESSIVE SCAN model? that I do NOT know.

Hope my short discourse was able to enlighten you.

Sincerely,

bestbuy88

ayos yung descriptions ni bestbuy! However, add ko lang na hindi yata automatic na pag may VGA output ay meron nang Progressive Scan. Mas maganda pag nakalagay ang feature na ito dun sa manual ng NB or kung saan mang part ng chassis

jojod818, i suggest you wait for more reviews of the new NB model to come out before buying it. Baka kasi may problema pala e.... pero kung nagmamadali kang bumili, i suggest you go for the NB9000-315 (my unit) or kahit Kebao 6089 which have both gotten numerous good reviews in this site.

Correction on my post, it's just a misunderstanding. This new model MV-783 was not recommended to me by watson's personnel b-coz the one that I saw on their display window was defective, and was just recently returned by their buyer as according to them.But that doesn't mean that all of this new model were defective. Maybe they just want to be honest with their customer, as they told me that they don't want to sell that one or the other in their stock room until they're sure that it is in good condition. They will just returned it to the distributor to check the problem first,then they will sell it again.I hope this will clear the issue o defective NB player. BTW,I did took instead a NB9000-305 at Raon shopping center,b-coz watson already don't have stocks of old model at that time.

Thank you very much for the much needed intel regarding the Nextbase DVD. My wife didn't believe that there are fakes until she saw your post that verified it.

dunforgiven,

I am not in a hurry in buying my first DVD  :-[, but I am convinced that it would be a Nextbase. I will scout for the NB9000-315 in the Quiapo/Raon are this friday.

Thanks again for the info, but if you do have other things that a first time buyer needs to know please tell me.

hi,

im not so sure about what im about to say, but honestly, im itching to buy a new dvd player (again!! ahahahaha...)

although im tempted to invest in the new nextbase dvd783, primarily because all its predecessors (except the portable mdv4, mdv1 which are just satisfactory models) have given me immense confidence of its playability powers, i have recently discovered a new "old" brand generic dvd that came out with a chasis that is smaller than the dvd9000-315 but bigger than the portables. In fact, it is almost just as big as those generic VCD players.  Like those Pioneer radio cassette gadgets installed in jeepneys.

When i finally decide to take that plunge, I will inform you all. Whether it be the new NB783, or this temptingly generic dvd player (which by the way cost only 2,500pesos, brand new!!! kaso no local service center....awww!), I shall share with you all my experience.

stay tuned!!!! hopefully during this dull long weekend, i can tamper and tinker my new toy!!!

sincerely,

bestbuy88, afraid that if the new 2,500pesos dvd player turns out great, i might have to start a new thread!!! ahahahaha....

Post by: bestbuy88 on Oct 30, 2003 at 02:19 PM
hi,

updates for all:

1. watson's has temporarily pulled out the NB-783 due to problems i think with the software. As many have said here, it skips intermitently.

2. remember my earlier post where i said i was about to test a 2,500pesos dvd player? well... here's what happened and its kinda weird...

i went to the store in carriedo shopping complex, one of the many right there which houses a lot of chinese merchants.

i saw they had this RHONGXIN (yes, same as the very well accepted 5.1channel speaker system) and Starfast DVD players, all selling at 2,500pesos only each. The Rhongxin had two models, differing only in the chasis (one was metallic, better looking; the other was more blue plastic mixed with metal pangit).

I went there to check it out bringing with me my CD wallet containing my TEST DVD's of assroted kinds (p type, Region 1, Region 3, PAL pressed, mp3, audio cd, cd-r pressed audio)

It was weird because when i first placed my TOY STORY 2 with deep scratches, it was ABLE to read the disc, HOWEVER, the audio was weird!!! Only hlaf of the dialogues were registered to the speakers!!! Meanign to say, when Buzz talks with Woodie, only Buzz's audio comes out; Woodie remains muted!!! Yet, the surrounding background sounds were played out correctly!! Weird!! I tinkered with LANGUAGES button, with NTSC/PAL button, with SUBTITLES button, with L/R CHANNEL buttons.... NOTHING WORKED!!

Then I placed a Region One WONDER BOYS. It played, but this time, NO AUDIO AT ALL. DIALOGUES OR SURROUNDING BACKGROUND.... NO AUDIO AT ALL!! MUTED!!!

Then I placed Madonna's Greatest Hits Video Volume 2.... It was read, but, the audio was like SQUEKY RATTISH LIKE!!! IPIT NA IPIT!!

Frustrated, I said i cannot buy such a unit (i have so many other discs that i did not test anymore, since the first few all were disastrously read)..... So, the merchant placed THEIR DVD into the tray.

Their BRITNEY SPEARS TIME OUT played well, audio were reproduced. No problem.

Their F4 in Concert Bangkok also played, compelte with all audios.

The merchants insisted that my discs were the ones pressed irregularly. PUEDE BA? IM NOT NEW TO THESE GADGETS AND ALL MY DISCS THAT I BROUGHT WITH ME PLAYS FLAWLESSLY IN MY NEXTBASE DVD9000-315!!!! So, they cannot insist that my disc is erroneous. Rather, their PLAYER is the one too picky!!! Weirdly picky!!!

Ending: I did not buy it. And they were also perplexed why all my discs refused to play well, but theirs did.

 :P

Epilogue: as i was walking home, saw a store selling dvd players. asked them out of the blue. 3,000pesos daw. Brand was Sasuki. Chasis not that good looking; medyo TH.

I might go to that store later and check it out.  I could not check it kanina kasi lumampas na ako sa lunchbreak time ko eh.

sincerely,

bestbuy88 ::)

hi,

reporting about quiapo church shopping mall, the one with escalator right smack in the middle and third floor occupied by jollibee:

1. the first two stalls on the right hand side of the escalator if you are on the pavement looking towards the mall used to be the store that had piles upon piles of vcd, dvd, speakers etc being sold. WALA NA PO SILA. NAGSARA JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. Now, the two stalls is selling women's beads.  That is what i mean by fear of buying from these semi "fly by night" stores of the chinese merchants. If you happen to have bought from them before, and now your euqipment has problem, saan mo na sila hahagilapin?

2. go up the second floor. when you land, on your left side is a store selling vcd players, dvd, speakers... etc. pile upon pile. they have the following brands which i did not make tawad. I just asked the prices:

SANSUI (kuno ha, for me, kasi ang gaspang) 5,400pesos (tindi!! yacks!! hehehehe....)

Nextbase DVD9000-305 slim Original version with +/- on the right hand side: 3,500pesos

HUG two version, both 3,400pesos

Sasuki (the brand I am eyeing to test soon) 2,900pesos

All are full body chasis version. The HUG is the cheapiest in appearance, just like the previous old time brand called "BEST" where its faceplate is BLUE SHINY PLASTIC transparent color. pangit. Wont match anyone's home theater set up at all. And the disctray area has small lights that turns on when you put a disc into it; parang ilaw ng nokia celfone. pangit talaga. LOL!!!

I say that the SANSUI is a "kuno" kasi super gaspang ng finish, as in magagasgas ang kutis ng misis niyong malaporcelana. No kidding.... And i think SANSUI the real company does NOT produce DVD players at all.

iyon lang po ang latest update. Those who are seeking to buy the Nextbase DVD9000-305 slim na original, this is the store to go.... i saw only three boxes in their stall. Inventory running low.... BUT at 3,500pesos it is expensive. Dapat 3,200-3,400maximum lang po. BUT DO CHECK KUNG MERONG TECHPOINT STICKER MUNA BEFORE BUYING IT. BAKA WALANG GUARANTEE PA ITONG STOCK NILA. ingat.

The DVD-783 is 3,400pesos at Watson's Photo Supply. You might want to read my new thread dedicated to this new model.

The DVD-785 is not available (yet) in the market. HOWEVER, based on the operator's manual, the only thing that changed between the DVD-783 and the DVD-785 is the design of the faceplate.  

The DVD-785 sports a futuristic look about it flourescent panel. Instead of the typical rectangular squarish counter, the DVD-785 sports a ROUND CIRCULAR DESIGN right smack in the middle. This round thing is just like the MOTOROLA CELFONE MODEL V70.

NOW, IF YOU GUYS want to really SEE live and for real how the DVD-785 looks like, then please go to SM Appliances (SM Manila in particular) and check out the "TCL DVD PLAYER MODEL F70K" That is almost the EXACT duplicate of the Nextbase DVD-785 ..............

....... which is making me wonder if...... the nextbase DVD-785 is a clone (and vice versa) of the TCL F70K??? with only the BRAND LOGO being changed?

hmmmm.....???  ::)

hello to all!

cool discussion in here.  

like JojoD818, im also buying a new dvd player and home theater speaker system.

NextBase and Rhongxin yung match na nabasa ko sa mga posts dito na ok ang performance. any hints sa dalawang brand na yan, re: features na dapat na makita at i-expect? tnx in advance!

sa NextBase malamang yung 783 or 785 na ang mabili ko kasi nagkakaubusan na nga ng stock yun 315.

sa Rhongxin naman, nakita ko na yung metallic finish na sinasabi ni bestbuy88m, pero hindi ko pa napatest. yun yata yung 2000 watts(PHP2,500) sabi nung tindera sa may pwesto sa likuran ng gotesco grand central monumento.  meron din sila nung parang woody finish, pero luma na daw yun sabi nung nagtitinda.  may katapat din daw yung Rhongxin na Magnum naman ang tatak.  kumpara sa Rhongxin na me LCD display, yung Magnum wala pero sa size same lang.

huli na lang, nakita ko din yung GARANT na DVD player sa Western Appl. Center for PHP2,9XX.  me idea ba kayo sa brand na to?  yung friend ko me VCD player na GARANT matagal din bago bumigay(taon inabot), ewan ko lang tong sa DVD? may DTS, DOLBY, MP3, etc. capability din.  malaysia yata galing?

napahaba na yata hehe  ;D

pre, be sure that if you will buy the rongxin speakers, nakasulat sa harap yung model which is 89dv, hindi 88. Kasi sa pagkakaalam ko yung mga metallic finish na chassis yun yung 88dv model e, yun ang luma na at no match kung kukumpara mo sa 89dv. At isa lang sa buong raon at quiapo ang alam kong nagbebenta ng 89dv, sa HopeStar store sa loob ng Raon Shopping Center.
Title: GARANT
Post by: bestbuy88 on Nov 10, 2003 at 11:10 AM
HI,

I SAW gARANT dvd PLAYER SOLD BY WESTERN MARKETING LAST FRIDAY AT FESTIVAL MALL.

parang okay ang chasis, aethetics niya pulido. walang VGA out put. pero complete naman ang audio video jacks for 5.1surround speaer setup.

ang tinetesting nila ay guns of navarone dvd p-type disc. tumogtog naman.

meron din GARANT brand na flat iron, osterizer, water jug, oven toater and thermos airpot. in short, parang the brand GARANT ay "tag name" lang ng isang company to paste it unto generic appliances to claim as their own. in short, subcontracted products. in short, duda akong merong GARANT na manufactuirng plant/factory at all. siguro office lang iyan.

hehehehe... pero at 2,999pesos....hmmm.. siguro id go for the Nextbase DVD783 na lang (or the slim 305/315 DVD9000) kasi minimal ang difference eh.... not worth that much to risk on a brand versus a Nextbase which has built quite a good (if not very good) reputation. Id go gamble on a different brand if it was at least 1,000pesos lower than a current Nextbase dVD783.

opinion ko lang iyon ha. im not associated with Nextbase in anyway. not even a business partner. just a happy satisfied user.

sincerely,

DearBestbuy88,
Magkano yung DVD783 or the slim 305/315 DVD9000)? Saan pa pwedeng bumili na malapit sa QC? Ok din ba yung NextbasePortable with TFT screen? Hanggang ngayon kasi di pa rin ako nakakabili.  Di ko alam kung ano sa mga Nextbase product na ito ang best. Dami rin kasi dapat unahin na gastos.  Thank you na lang at hintay ko sagot mo.

Off topic.... i really don't understand why there's even a market for portable dvd players with LCD screens. I mean, you buy a dvd player to setup an HT (mediocre or high-end set-up doesn't matter) so that you can have the "theater experience".

tapos bibili lang ng player na may maliit na screen at isa or dalawang mini-speakers lang..... doesn't make much sense to me. of course, this is just my idiotic opinion

dear franco,

1. i dont know where you can buy a nextbase dvd player in quezon city. taga quiapo kasi ako that is why my sources has always been watson's or those in the raon electronics mall. however, if you insist, you can try SM Appliances kasi i know they carry Nextbase dvd players. However, I doubt if they still have the Nextbase DVD9000-305or315 slim series. Kasi right now, it is the Nextbase DVD-783 that is flooding the market.

2. Besure to buy only a Nextbase which has  A WARRANTY STICKER AT THE BACK, UN TAMPERED, UNTOUCHED FROM TECHPOINT, the official service center of Nextbase.

3. Please read the posts regarding the DVD9000-305/315 slim and the 783 as far as versatility is concerned. All that is important basically is that the new DVD783 has a built in dts decoder already, and it has a VGA output which means you can connect it to your home computer monitor. Aside from that, it is the same as the DVD-9000-305/315 slim series.

3. the price last week of dvd783 is 3,400pesos at Watsons in quiapo. However, out of stock sila yesterday. However, you can buy this model at the raon electronics mall at the same price; i heard you can even buy at for 3,200pesos at the Raon Electronics Mall. JUST BE SURE THERE IS A WARRANTY CARD FROM TECHPOINT AS WELL AS THE SAID STICKER.

4. like dunforgiven, i also do not recommend the dvd tablet. expensive and really not worth your money to spend so much for so little (literally pun intended).

good luck.

Franco,

Sorry, alam kong addressed kay bestbuy88 ang message mo.  Pero gusto ko lang ipaalam sa iyo na may ad ang SM Appliance Center ngayon sa Inquirer na meron silang Nextbase 783.  They're selling it for P3,894.

not to undermine the capabilities of NextBase (since I'm an owner too) but since the reviews and feedbacks of the 783 are not good, i think the Kebao 6089 would be a better purchase wouldn't you think?

was over at Metropolis alabang at napadaan ako sa Nintendo. they had this nextbase na nakalagay na model e DVD-9900? ::)  has anybody seen those? yun yung unit na nakademo sa display nila and i was able to tinker with it a little. splash screen nya e Nextbase and when you examine the unit nakalagay HCDC at THX logo aside from the usual DD and MP3 logos. tinanong ko yung isang staff ng nintendo kung may VGA out na and it seems that the guy seems to know nothin bout the product and asked another staff. sbi may VGA out daw.

wasn't able to examine the back side of the player to check kung may warranty seal and to confirm kung NB nga kse dami nakapatong na ibang brand includin the 315 ng NB.

anyways, correct me if im wrong pero i think this is one of those "fake" nextbase units thats been goin around.

Hi all, am new here..

well, perhaps sir Franco has his own reason buying a portable Nextbase with LCD Screen, so that he could use in both ways, handy as well as on his HT... ;)  Am also interested in buying the same thing. Handy na sya gamitin pa when you travel by car with your family doesnt need to mount any Car TV

Kindly post naman po if theres any Portable Nextbase with LCD screen  or any portable DVD players with screen avalaible in the market(Pinas)? how much? whats are the different brands? where to buy?

Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Dec 06, 2003 at 06:19 PM
hi,

i have not really advised anyone to go for the nextbase home theater series simply because aside from having speakers and players all of the same brand and complimentary in design (perhaps), you have to pay a premium for it.

for today, IF YOU DO NOT NEED THE PRESENCE OF A DTS BUILT IN DECODER IN YOUR DVD PLAYER, i would advice the setup of having a SKYWORTH DVD PLAYER model DVD-2650 (iyon pa lang kasi ang natesting kong tunay) and a Rhongxin 5.1 home theater speaker system model 89dv OR a Kinyo 5.1 home theater speaker system.

The total of the skyworth player plus either a rhongxin or kinyo speaker still cost less than the s200 system and you do NOT suffer any losses, except perhaps the lack of complimentary design feature.

IF YOU NEED built in DTS decoder, then it is a toss up between Kebao 6089 and/or Nextbase DVD-783.  Still the home theater speaker will be the Rhongxin or the Kinyo.

I say a toos up kasi:

1. i havent owned a Kebao so i do not have a subjective review on the unit. However, i used to own a Kebao 2089 and it was a disappointment for me. That is why i have not been convinced again to invest in Kebao after my bad experience with its model 2089.

2. the nextbase dvd783 has built in dts decoder, the first nextbase model that i know of that has this feature, however, it refuses to read/play/recognize the older p-discs that i owned. these are the p-discs that have the smell of burnt ink. but for new releases, the 783 will read it naman. Still, due to the fact that the 783 refuses to read some of my old title collection, i cannot give it a five star rating just like the skyworth dvd-2650 which read all my dvd library titles.

i hope i did not confuse you, but honestly, im a bit on the "barat" side so i always do not mind suffering the aesthetics for as long as i get the quality at the best price combination that my pocket can afford. what use is the beauty when the functionality is suffered. don na lagn ako sa pangit pero gumagana lagi.

peace!! happy holidays.

i see, clarify ko lang din. is the Rhongxin 5.1 & Kinyo 5.1 already has a receiver on it or speakers lang sila? how much do they cost and me authorized service centers din ba sila?

Rongxin is amplified/powered 5.1 speaker system
Kinyo on the other hand (the model that bestbuy are referring to) is 5.1 amplified speaker system with DD (and/or DTS) decoder.

levi

Nextbase 990?? this is the first time i have heard of that model number.

what i know of from nextbase are:

1. dvd9000 bulky first generation
2.dvd9000/305-315 slim type second generation
3. dvd-783 third generation

i have heard dvd785 which came out at the same time as the 783, nag-iba lang sa posiiton and presentation ng timer. yes, mas magara ang hitsura ng 785, pero, mas funky rin in a way therefore in the long run baka mas madaling malaos ang hitsura nito, kasi faddish.

then there are the portable dvds like mdv-4 and mdv-1, plus the tablet type.

but none carried the 990.

i wonder what that is.....

hi levi, bestbuy88!

went to nintendo and checked the nextbase NB-9900...the sales assistant was kind enough to let "tinker" with the unit...noticed na parang natatanggal talaga yung nextbase logo (similar to those VCD players na pwedeng palitan ng brand)...checked the back...yung demo unit walang sticker...i didn't check the other units anymore...medyo natakot ako...so i decided na lang to check the nextbase 785...great looks...

as for the nb-9900 being the "fake" nextbase, i really do not know...i'll try to check it again...thanks!  8)

Post by: vendvd on Dec 12, 2003 at 03:40 AM
I would like to confirm that there is no such DVD player-animal called the Nextbase 9900.   In other words, PEKENG NB unit yan (Techpoint will verify this).
Don't be fooled just because it has an NB logo.
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: bestbuy88 on Dec 12, 2003 at 06:44 AM
ah_uy,

i agree that the disc tray of NB-783 made of clear and thin plastic is not a very good design in my opinion. parang madaling masira. they should have retained the bulkier black plastic tray used in their previous nextbase dvd-9000 series.

skyworth dvd2650 is nice, using the regular black plastic tray. but i think the skyworth dvd-3250 employs the same clear slim plastic like the NB-783. so better be careful.

i also prefer that the logo/brand plate of the player be soemthing like a piece of metal glued to the chasis rather than the current nextbase 783 which is just printed over the mirror like faceplate. hindi masyadong calassy pag ganyan eh. hhhehehehee...

sincerely,

bestbuy88
Title: Re:NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: ah_uy on Dec 12, 2003 at 12:21 PM
Agree, I don't like the the clear and thin disc tray too. The 2650 logo is much more classy than 3250 and 783.

Someone at Watson not recommend the 783 model, he said that it stops frequently while playing, he prefer Skyworth.

Since Skyworth and Nextbase are coming from same distributor, the winner is still Techpoint.  :D

Yeah, I saw one too sa Nintendo Glorietta makati.  Nextbase 9000 nakalagay sa harap at yung logo kapareho ng nb slim ko. the odd thing is makapal sya about twice the height of my nb slim.

The orange thing inside the remote is called Crystal in an electronic term, and yes if you have to replace it, it must have the same markings (numbers, etc..)

But, why not return it first if it's still under warranty? After then kung hindi mapalitan bring the remote of your DVD player to a local Electronic Repair Store/Shop in Raon to have it fixed.

But be carefull to whom you are going to have it fixed bka maloko ka dyan sa Raon...

For the meantime try to return it first from where you had bought you're player together with it's remote to have it replaced with a working one.

Good Luck na lang bro!

i just got back from watson's... it WAS indeed the remote that had a problem. (i brought the whole unit just in case it wasn't the remote that was problem.)

they were so nice about it... the bad thing is wala na silang stock nung dvd-9000 slim. so they lent me a banged-up (but functional) service remote while they had my remote repaired at the service center... i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i'll still get my old remote back... this one they lent me is rrreeeallly (as the guy who helped me out put it:) "gastado".  ::)

i was told to come/call back after the holidays... i'm keeping my fingers crossed. :-X

thanks for all the help...

hi,

I saw the Nextbase DVD-9000 silver aluminum BULKY version kahapon in quiapo. This is what i can say:

1. At the back, it only has S-video, yellow video out jack, RGB video jacks, Two Left, Two Right Audio jacks, optical out jack and one more coaxial video out jack yata (sorry i forgot). IN SHORT, WALA PO ITONG SURROUND HOME THEATER SPEAKER AUDIO JACKS AT ALL.

2. Multi volt siya 110/20volts.

3. Made in China but no specific address like those in previous Nextbase modles (shenzhen china).

4. It carries TECHPOINT ENTERPRISES WARRANTY SEAL.

That is all I can share for the moment. The price pegged when I asked was 3,600pesos pero di ako tumatawad pa; i was merely asking.

The interface of this unit is similar to the Nextbase DVD9000 slim. It is the Nextbase logo appearing in a orange-y colored wallpaper.

I cannot assess the performance since I do not own one. I just shared this information to you because if there is an OBVIOUS difference of this bulky DVD9000 from the previous Nextbases, it is the ABSENCE OF SURROUND SPEAKER AUDIO JACKS.

sincerely,

bestbuy88 wishing everyone a happy new year.

hello peeps! 8)

I just purchased myself a Nextbase DVD9000 from Watson's Photo Supply yday PM priced @ only P3,000! :) It is a simple classic DVD model w/o the DTS decoder, surround sound audio jacks and progressive scan. I find it just fine for a DVD newbie like myself.
I originally set out to get the newer dvd-783 model but the ppl @ watsons advised me otherwise...madami pa daw bugs  :-\ I tested it a bit last night, put in everything from DVD, VCD, MP3, CD-R, CDA and even a CDRW w/ all types of files burned into it(mp3, jpg, .exe, zip)...the player was able to identify all mp3's and jpg's on the CDRW & play them! :o it may not have the extra features that most DVD enthusiasts require, but I surely cannot say im not satisfied with it... :) i'll be givin it the "test-drive beating" with my CSI and TAKEN marathons sa day off ko...we'll see if it's got stayin power  ;D

...only downside :-\: DVD9000 doesn't have LCD display, w/c may be a big deal for others, but not for this muchacho. For those of you interested in buying this model, meron stock pa ung watsons or you can call em @ 7336797

peace out! 8)

hi,

may i ask you again on the new nextbase you bought?

after you said it is the no flourescent display type, it affirmed that you bought the new generation dvd9000 which comes in aluminum silver color and it is bulky. it only has one reddish plastic square on the front chasis which houses the remote control infrared device, correct?

i would like to ask you regarding your claim that this specific unit has surround speaker jacks. i doubt that. i saw this unit and the audio jacks i saw were simply for the left and right speakers; it did NOT have the front center rear audio jacks for 5.1 home theater use.

can you please recheck since this is one of the major factors that i saw in this nextbase unit that i found to be less than ideal. if this unit had complete audio jacks, then I could have bought one too and tried it at home.

please verify my claim?

and you said it has built in dts decoder too? hmmmm.... now that is interesting indeed.

sincerely,

bestbuy88

Thanks for the clarifications spiff and sickboy  ;) My apologies to Bestbuy if my specs were a bit unclear in some way....yup2 its as-basic-a-DVD-player as can possibly be. I'm still playin around with the remote and stuff...it has DTS/Dolby sound mode displays if im not mistaken...i guess i'll need to set up my sound system before i could fully appreciate these features...for now i'm using my cinemaborg's speakers,and when i press the "3D" button on the remote, my TV starts to tremble!!  ;D.  If you guys need me to check anything out on my player just let me know ayt?

if you have an mpeg file, why not burn it as a VCD (or SVCD) na lang? that way you can play anywhere pa.  ;D

No hangs, stops or skips.
As far as audio is concerned, well, naawa ako sa tv ko kya i connected the DVD audio-out to the Auxillary A/V of my Kenwood Component System. Its all good! ;D

JM, just hope u realize b4 u buy this unit na sobrang simple lng tlga sha...pero mura ;D pag aralan mu ung specs, baka mabitin ka kc

And i'm proud to say, no skips, hangs, or any other bugs noticed whatsoever, w/ noticeably minimal heating din  :o
Few of my buddies are impressed w/ the features this player has to offer, pro sigurado ako mabibilib sila sa performance nya ;) . For a while i was seriously thinkin about replacing my NB9000 w/ a newer model like the 783 or kebao w/ DTS para todo set-up na sa sounds...but now ive decided to stick to my player and just get myself one of those 5.1 speakers+amp+receiver sets...can anybody give some surefire suggestions? Anu ung maganda na di ganu costly na set-up? I've heard of Xenon, Roxin, etc.

If it's a learning remote, you can train the nextbase  remote's infrared signals towards the Philips remote and the latter will learn the commands by pressing the proper equivalent buttons on both remotes.  Check the Philips manual on how to do this.

I've been doing some backing up of my original dvds (gold edition Hercules).

Whenever I put in my backup on my good old reliable nextbase there is a 'camera' figure with 1/3 on the upper right side of the screen.

The way I understand it, its because it has a multi angle view option.  But when I press 'angle' button on the remote nothing happens.

Now the kids dont care about angle views, but its annoying to see that icon - is there a way for me to disable that.

My apologies to the moderators if this type of post has been posted on the forum.

my current set-up is NB-9000-315 connected to a rongxin 89dv speaker system. pero gusto ko na mag-upgrade ng setup so i'm planning to buy an av receiver and new speakers.

question: pwede ko ba gamitin yung optical out nung nextbase to connect to the av receiver (not sure kung may coax out)? magkaiba ba ang audio quality ng generic and branded players when using coax or optical outs going to receivers?

Yes, nextbase has digital coax and optical outs which you can use to connect with AV receiver.

Remember pag digital connection ang gamit mo, ang magdedecode at ang magpaprocess ng sound is yung outboard decoder (AVR), so the sound will depend on the receiver. Basically hindi usapan kung branded or not ang player mo...

may DTS yung nextbase units... but the 9000 models only have a pass-thru, while yung ibang models yata may built-in decoder. so kahit na naka RCA cables ka lang may sound pa rin na lalabas kapag newer model yung ginagamit mo.  ;)

i just bought a nextbase s200 ht in a box. ok naman sya when playing dvd's.
may problem lang when i play audio cd's, mp3's, and video-cd's.
the player hangs in some parts of the discs eventually. dont know what triggers this, pero almost all of my discs, ganun nangyayari.

i had the unit replaced twice, pero ganun pa rin. it can't be the discs naman, kasi puro original naman mga audio cd's ko and they play fine on other players.

anyone know what's goin on?

naayos ko na rin yung problem ko sa NEXTBASE S200 HTIB ko.
dati kasi it always skips and freezes whenever i play audio-cd's, mp3's, and vcd's.
so what i did, i put an auxillary fan sa tapat ng vents nung player and viola! ayos na lahat!
no more problems!

nextbase = panalo

hi. im new.,

planning to get a nextbase player,  any suggestion kung anong model ang OK and magkano po ito, san po ba banda ang watsons,


and another thing i have a Labtec Pulse 5.1 pc speakers, would it be possible to use this set of speakers since nextbase has the ability to decode 5.1, 

salamat sa mga replies.  :)

Try getting the NB-785 model, ganito rin ang sa akin which i bought last year pa and so far am very satisfied
with the performance. (kelangan lang adequate ventilation to keep this player cool para minimal yung disc skip  ;) )

Quote
Watson's Photo Supply
312 P. Gomez Street, Quiapo (Carriedo)
Telephone number of Watson's is 733-7697

Kung galing ka LRT-Carriedo, 3rd street to your left going to Quiapo church.

It is possible to use your Labtec spkrs by connecting it to the analog (RCA) output of the player but you must
secure first baby plug-to-rca adapters, unless you have ones. Computer speakers use stereo baby plugs (mini
phone plug) to connect at the i/o ports of the motherboard while a/v hardware usually uses RCA for av in/out.

Before, ginagamit ko yung Altec Lansing 251 (5.1) speakers ng PC ko, ganda ng tunog clear and maganda bass
kaso hassle na tanggal-kabit from PC to DVD player to PC again.  ::) :(

good luck!

Mga peeps,

I just found out last night that the remote for my Nextbase bulky conked out. I opened the remote but all the contact points are intact.

I've read the posts regarding the remote control and I am wondering if a replacement can be found anywhere. Also, if I buy a universal remote, would anyone know the code for the Nextbase? And what brand of universal remote was used?

I'm pulling my hair right this minute. kakainis when your remote is not working.  >:(

Hello!

I've finally bid farewell to my NB-785 after more than 8 months of good use with very little hassle.

No, it's not sira, naarbor lang ni utol when he (w/ his family) visited me last Sunday, naiinggit sa quality nung dvd na pinapanood ko sa mga kids para manahimik, he's using kasi Pioneer vcd mini-compo. Since magbebertdey at Laguna pa sila galing e di binigay ko na, pinasulitan ko na lang kahit 200 sabi ko pambili man lang kahit pdvd. (btw, saan ba da best bumili pdvd?  :o :-[ Ooops, baka me taga optical media board jan? ahahaha... magagalit si chairman edu ;D ;D ;D PEACE!).

In the meantime, I have to watch muna dvd's on my pc through its 17" AOC flatscreen monitor na madalas ko rin namang gawin kasi kakumpitensiya anak sa ht sa baba watching his favorite cartoons/family discs for the nth time. (Ano ba yan, computer na sa work computer pa rin sa bahay, haaay naku... techno stressed na ko  :o ??? :o ). Medyo tinatamad pa kasi ako bitbitin ung pc pababa to connect it to my tv.

Hmmm.... ano kaya maganda bilhing player ngayon?  :-\ ??? :-\

Nga pala, warning lang sa lahat (especially sa mga first-time buyers) ng dvd player, ingat kayo sa pagbili dahil napansin ko lang na nagkalat ngayon ang mga fake na Nextbase sa mga stalls jan sa Sta. Cruz/Quiapo area ganun din sa mga malls (kadalasan stall ng mga kapatid nating Muslim-no offense meant), halatang fake dahil yung badge/logo e halatang ja-fake at ikinabit lang dun sa mga player na questionable ang pinanggalingan at imagine patung-patong ang mga display nila (saan kaya galing mga ito-Malaysia? Indonesia? China? ??? ) at nagaya na rin nila pati warranty card ng Techpoint :o . Isa sa mga paraan para mapatunayang genuine yung bibilhin nyo e look for the hologram seal sa side at tingnan ang build quality saka yung model na hindi naman naglalabas ang Nextbase. Ganun din naman na bumili lamang sa mga store na authorized/kilalang retailer ng Nextbase (Watson, Western, SM, Ambassador, etc.) at laging humingi ng official receipt.

Ewan ko lang kung may napansin na rin kayong mga ganito. Basta ingat lang. =)

Hmm bagong player? If your into music, research mo kung yung kebao8089 ay may SACD capability or yung xenon e DVD-A capable but I think mas pabor ka sa kebao  ;D If I have the money I'll buy one of them or both if proven na "capables"

Galing sa mga posts dito, parang maganda talaga itong Nextbase 785 kasi paranag lahat kayang i-play pero yun nga lang, medyo may kalumaan na rin itong modelo na ito.  Ano ba bago ngayon sa Nextbase?

I don't know exactly what model of nextbase you have. But have you tried configuring the audio setup on the menu of the NB? try setting the Digital Audio Setup page and set the output to All if it has that. Then configure the input selector of the receiver to receive the signal from the nextbase.

Hope this helps! :)

To all first-time Nextbase buyers: Konting ingat lang mga 'tol sa pagbili ng mga latest Nextbase models specially the 783 series.  The owner of Mayer's Photo Supply admitted that the latest batch of this series is not good - more than 50% are returned to the store.  This model cannot read some discs like those burned with a DVD writer and even skips often when playing regular DVDs. Just because it is a Nextbase doesn't mean it is always a good quality brand.  Nextbase is known for its unreliable quality standards - one batch will be good while the next batch will be problematic and the next batch will be good again.  Old-time Nextbase afficionados like Bestbuy know this fact.  And to think that it is priced much higher (at P3,200)  than other China-made DVD players.  The latest 783 edition has a similar set-up interface/menu as the cheaper brands like Lexing and VMS (2, 100 pesos) and other unknown DVD generic players.  Be sure to test your unit well before taking it home at baka masayang lang ang oras ninyo at effort sa pagbili nito.

Had a Nextbase s-200 system for aboput a year now.  It worked great when it was new, but recently it started choosing discs.  Even old discs that it used to run without any problems don't work anymore.  It's really becoming annoying.  Is there a way to fix this problem?

In case its beyond repair, and the damage is brought about by wearing out my player.  What can Ido now? I cant just replace the player since no other player in the market has a built-in amp to support the passive 5.1 speaker system that is packaged with the s-200 (or is there?).

So, either someone tell me how I can fix the problem with my s-200 player, or suggest anoter player that can make use of my s-200's speaker system.

Really appreciate the help.  Thanks!

I am looking with a built-in DTS decoder with 6-channel output at the back for ny amp.  Plays just about every type of disk. 

I am planning to replace my Konka DVD Player.  Defect?  Namimili na nga mga disk.  Iyong walang problema dati now ayaw na.  Hindi na gumagana ang remote.  Hindi ang control, kundi malamang sa loob ng player.  Dec 2002 nabili kaya sulit na rin.

If you can get an NB without defect, you can still consider it a good buy but then NB is quite overpriced (starts at P3,200 and up) compared to many other good brands.  Skyworth, Minami (or Miyata?), Rongxin, VMS and Nova are other brands you can consider.  OK sana yung Extreme pero after six months many units (confirmed by one store owner sa Raon Shopping Center) had to be serviced because it can no longer read some discs and other problems developed.

good day to all,

i just got my dvd 9000-315 remote & player problem fixed by myself.

after all of the searching i made of a replacement remote and initially looking for a replacement of my good old NB.....but guess what....

 i have just discovered that the problem is not with the remote but with the remote receiver on hte player. it just so happen that i have a promace vcd player and tried pointing the nb remote to it, the remote functions but not all..what i did yesterday is that i dismantled my NB and my promac. first i take off the 3 leg remote receiver from my NB and replace it with the one i have taken from promac vcd. after soldering it...i was very happy....my NB was already good as new....then i assemble everything again including the promac vcd player. it was in deed a very succesful experience for me...at last i have my NB running again....by the way the promac vcd still funtions without the remote receiver chip anyway all functions in the remote of the promace are just found on the front panel......

from my experience [i have a nextbase S200 HTIB], nextbase players are not very compatible with audio and video cd's.  lagi sya nag-i-skip and marami audio glitches. pero kung DVD-AUDIO ang play mo, no problem.

the problem was due to the slim design of the nextbase, madali sya mag-overheat kaya ganun ang playback ng audio and video cd's...  pero kung mapilit ka at gusto mo pa rin ng nextbase  ;D
ganito gawin mo:

buy an auxillary fan and put it on top of your nextbase para di sya mag-init.  works like a charm!

Hi guys,

I have a question about the component video output of Nextbase -- actually, the component video output of all sources. I noticed that for the past week, whenever I play DVDs reddish na yung tint nya. I've tried fixing it through my tv's remote but still no improvement. And I don't think it's the TV's tube that's the problem because colors are just right when I watch TV. Today, I decided to investigate -- I tried removing to alternatively remove each component plug from the TV and I discovered that if I remove the Green plug, instead of getting a clear image (of course with the wrong colors) the TV image starts going haywire, this does not happen if I remove the Red or Blue plug.

I did the same experiment by removing the plugs ON my nextbase alternatively and the same thing happened.

My question is this: is the problem with my NExtbase or with the component input of my TV?
Title: Re: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: vircor on Oct 12, 2004 at 10:54 AM
I'm not an expert in here but this might help find the problem, try another player to see if the same thing happens and if not then it's the player's RGB out but if it is then there's something wrong with the tv's RGB input or the tv's incompatible in handling various types of RGB signals. One good alternative to RGB is to use the S-video for it offers excellent video quality, only slightly less than RGB.  :)

I tried S-video again awhile ago but although it offered a slightly better picture, the reddish tint was still there. I never encountered this a few weeks ago. Lately lang sya lumabas. Personally, i'd prefer that its my player that has a problem and not my tv. Mas mahirap magpaayos ng tv e, hehe.

Hehe, oo nga naman. Baka covered pa naman warranty player mo? If you can, try to bring it at techpoint or where you purchased it to have it checked. How about the composite connection? If you have other sources (vhs, vcd, videocam) try those if the pics is still reddish then it might be the tv, even if broadcast signals are good maybe the problem is somewhere within the video input.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I access cable signals through an old VHS player. Since my TV's tuner has limited channels that's what I did -- and the picture's pretty good. It's connected to one of the composite connections.

Pdividdy, walang contrast adjustment yung Nextbase ko because what I have is the old champagne model of Nextbase -- the first model that was made available here. I"ll try to play a dvd on my PS2 and I'll post my observations here.

Thanks for all your help!

have it replaced with a brand new one. malamang sira talaga yung unit na nabigay sayo...

from my experience [i have a nextbase S200 HTIB], nextbase players are not very compatible with audio and video cd's.  lagi sya nag-i-skip and marami audio glitches. pero kung DVD-AUDIO ang play mo, no problem.

the problem was due to the slim design of the nextbase, madali sya mag-overheat kaya ganun ang playback ng audio and video cd's...  pero kung mapilit ka at gusto mo pa rin ng nextbase  ;D
ganito gawin mo:

buy an auxillary fan and put it on top of your nextbase para di sya mag-init.  works like a charm!

: AYUZ!  >:(

DVD-audio? really? Popular talaga nextbase kahit sa ibang international threads alam 'to

yep, you can play the ordinary DVD-AUDIO resolution on any dvd player.  pero you cant play the 48khz/24bit resolution on any dvd player unless specified sa specs nun na it can play higher res cd's...

sad to say di supported ng nextbase yung mga higher resolution discs...
pero ok na rin for the 5.1mix!  :)

Guys!
 
i just recently bought a next base 785 and still enjoying it on its third week of viewing.... im proud to say that don't any problem on it! Except that on its early days of viewing, I did observed that the bright blue pilot "light" near the power switch kept on blingking....and blinking  irregularly....just like what you see in your computer hard disk read/write led status bliks when it your hdisk is working.  But now, it don't see it blinking anymore, its always steady lighting na!...so is this  normal to new 785 players? Does anybody had this expierienced too...?

And by the way... I've connected it into a Next Base HM050 AC3/5.1 HTIB speakers.... Sounds Great!!!

lx..

that pilot light should always be on..

not to scare you but 785s are known to be buggy..

new 786s out... looks like 785 but with optical out & speakers on top of unit, same price too...
and the bright pilot light is gone!...

replaced by a bigger light sa lenght ng disc tray ahahaha!

p.dividdy2,

Just after i've  posted that prob.... my dvd pilot lights kept blinking again.... i think its just a loose connection i guess! ....any way still got the warranty. So i guess i've to get it to the service center for a check...

Thanks for the reply bro! 8)

Maraming generic replacement DVD remotes available ngayon sa Raon and they only cost 75 pesos - puede raw sa Nextbase accdg. to one seller at puede ibalik kung hindi daw gumana sa dvd player mo.

I have a genuine 7-in-1 Sony remote.  Nanghihinayan naman ako kung bibili pa ako ng isa pang remote para sa NB DVD player ko.  I use the remote for my Sony TV and my Yamaha receiver, and on rare occasions, on my Philips VHS player.  I would really like to use it for my NB player, but I do not know what code to key in to be able to program it for the NB.  Would anybody know what code I should use?  The literature that comes with the remote does not include Nextbase in its list of brands that are compatible with the gadget.

Hope somebody can help.

Hi guys,

Did anyone of you encountered this? Whenever I use my nextbase dvd player with my sony tv black n white yung color nya.Of course properly set naman sa remote pero black n white pa rin sya. I tried my player with other tv ok its colored.But I already tried other dvd player with my tv colored naman yung output what seem to be the problem?my tv or my nextbase.
Just encountered this problem nung nasira yung tv ko all of a sudden nag-off sya then di na ma-on totally no power.Then after bringing to sony service center ok na sya colored naman yung output.Binalik ko uli sa sony service wala naman sila mahanap na defect kc colored naman fron other video player.I've brought my nb at techpoint they say nothing is wrong with my player.
Can anyone of u guyz help me with this. Is there an issue of compatibility here whereas both is working properly before? :-[

    My NB-900 seems to have a problem reading MGM DVDs. I have 3 James Bond DVDs that I bought from the current sale and all them experience frequent 1 to 2 second pauses. Sa ibang titles nagpapause din minsan pero madalas sa MGM. I hope this is just a case with MGM titles. Their discs may not be that compatible with Next Base. I bought the player a little more than a year ago.

Sirs, may problema ako regarding my 783, some dvd's laging may subtitles kahit na naka-off na sa menu ng dvd and off na rin sa dvd player, pero meron pa rin on some dvds, ayaw mawala ng subtitle.

Pano kaya to., any tips.?

thanks



baka mga pdiscs yan na clear copy lang na di talaga nawawala yung subtitles dahil parang recorded sya while the subtiltle is on. so definitely walang paraan para ma-off yun. you can try it on other dvd players or sa pc.

I have to let this out of my system  >:(

I have a NB785 for a little over a year and a couple of weeks ago the player just stopped responding/playing.

The problem started with the LCD display showing garbled text, then after a week, while playing a PDVD (I also play original DVD's in my NB785), the player just stopped playing. So I decided to give it a power boot and but nothing happened, the player turned-on but it just doesn't respond to any button from the remote or the player it self.

I brought the player to Techpoint and after checking they said they found a loose chip (or something) that they have to re-heat. So I got my player back from Techpoint and tested my NB785 and played ok. I got home, played two DVD's consecutively and it seems everything is back to normal.

Last night I was going to watch an original DVD and the same problem happened again, the player stopped playing and did not respond to any buttons on the remote and player.

Know what, when I went to TechPoint, there were about 4 to 5 people there with problems on their Nextbase player. When I went to pickup my NB785 same number of people are at TechPoint because their Nextbase player just died on them.

Damn, I know Nextbase is not a premium brand, but hell, 3000+ Pesos is not easy money these days for an ordinary Pedro like me.

Hell, I'm going to bring my NB785 back to Techpoint this coming Saturday to have them take a second look at it, and I'm going back there because I'm giving in to my wifey's request to have it repaired na lang than to buy a new one (not Nextbase, branded na).

After this second trip to TechPoint, I will not buy any f#cking Nextbase product again in my entire life.

To hell with NextBase  >:(

Its got power on but no next on the LCD screen and the CD tray doesnt pop out.  My Dad had it checked at Techpoint (not sure) but never got fixed. Is there a known issue with this NB-783 model? Anyone experienced the same problem? Any troubleshooting steps to solve the issue? Anyone please advise.

good day pipol!  im a newbie here...  i'm planning to get a Nextbase player very soon... I am thinking of getting the NB785 but friends advised me to get one that has divx capability.... consequently, i am now contemplating of getting either the NB656 or its bigger version (i forgot the model) which is now available at abensons...

has anybody tested the NB656 player?  i've read from previous postings that protable payers are prone to overheating so im also considering of getting its bigger chassis version since im not particular about the chassis size.

will appreciate your inputs...  ;D

i've got an old model nextbase nb9000-17305.  i had it serviced sa techpoint 2 weeks ago and ngayon ok na sya, nakuha na sya yesterday, friday.

question :  paano po ba malalaman kung anong firmware version ang ginamit nila dito?  para kasing hindi na maayos gumana yung 5.1 outsputs nya.  kapag naka downmix=off walang lumalabas na sound sa center channel.  firmware issue kaya ito?

thanks.

Got a Nextbase 783 Last August 2005, conked out after only 7 months (and conveniently after the 6 months warranty) :'(.  Brought it for repair at TEchpoint and they're asking P1,500 since the motherboard is supposedly the problem :o.  How can I fry the motherboard?!?  ???... unless it's inherently defective! Add to this, the unit is barely used since its my 3rd player in the house is only sparingly used in the master's bedroom (max. of 3 disks a week).  What is curious is other "newer" models of Nextbase supposedly has a 1 year warranty and the older models (i.e. 783, 785) only has a 6 months warranty --- what is this? They probably know something we don't.   ::)

The bottomline of all these rantings, I bought a Nextbase because its supposedly better than other generic brands (although it's a little more expensive)...and I was proven wrong.  I would have fared better buying a P1600 dvd player  from Makro which at least has a 1 year warranty (which incidentally is almost the price T :Pechpoint is asking for the repair of my crappy Nextbase)!!!

I have the SDV-185-S it has an 8.5" LCD monitor  and incorporated with a wireless audio transmission thru FM frequency, discs are loaded via slot-in mechanism.
This particular model is not choosy with discs, and it was able to read even the ones rejected by my other DVD players, it comes with a cute flat remote, that can easily be misplaced, once you get neglectful during one of your out of town trips, the monitor display seemingly is native progscan, I placed the TV format system in the auto setting since, it projects a good PAL resolution, it comes with a pair of walkman like headphones, which, I seldomly use, since I prefer to use the Philips Bass-boost headphones.
The monitor can also accept inputs, and in fact, an accessory TV tuner is also for sale at 5.3K, other than that I see no reason for any other beneficial accessory input.
The AC-DC adapter,when used would create heat to an area near the rostum, where possibly the power distribution occurs. It also comes with a car power cable (12v), a car and accessories bag, and a battery that will last for 120 mins. max load.
At night if you can postion yourself in a very comfy position with the head slightly tilted to about a 100D propped by pillows, and the lights turned off, it creates a sort of an illusionary feeling that your actually watching from a drive in movie, but of course with a gadget like this chances are you'll be using this more often during one's out of town trips.(Funny thing is that when I went on one of my out of town trips, the hotel that I was billeted into, decided to upgrade my accomodation to one of their suite rooms,wherein a generic DVD player was available, with 24 titles to choose from;on the house, unfortunately, I have watched them all)
My only regret with this model is it's price (you can buy 3 Coby portables),and thus, I couldn't take my unit to the Q for fear of you know what. ;)

Hi,

Has anyone tried Nextbase NB-813 or NB 860? It has DTS but not sure about DivX feature...

Post by: silverpunk on Sep 22, 2006 at 11:11 AM
Bossing, magkano bili mo? San mo nabili? im planning to buy when i get back to phils, natest mo ba divx functionality.

thnx

I have the SDV-185-S it has an 8.5" LCD monitor  and incorporated with a wireless audio transmission thru FM frequency, discs are loaded via slot-in mechanism.
This particular model is not choosy with discs, and it was able to read even the ones rejected by my other DVD players, it comes with a cute flat remote, that can easily be misplaced, once you get neglectful during one of your out of town trips, the monitor display seemingly is native progscan, I placed the TV format system in the auto setting since, it projects a good PAL resolution, it comes with a pair of walkman like headphones, which, I seldomly use, since I prefer to use the Philips Bass-boost headphones.
The monitor can also accept inputs, and in fact, an accessory TV tuner is also for sale at 5.3K, other than that I see no reason for any other beneficial accessory input.
The AC-DC adapter,when used would create heat to an area near the rostum, where possibly the power distribution occurs. It also comes with a car power cable (12v), a car and accessories bag, and a battery that will last for 120 mins. max load.
At night if you can postion yourself in a very comfy position with the head slightly tilted to about a 100D propped by pillows, and the lights turned off, it creates a sort of an illusionary feeling that your actually watching from a drive in movie, but of course with a gadget like this chances are you'll be using this more often during one's out of town trips.(Funny thing is that when I went on one of my out of town trips, the hotel that I was billeted into, decided to upgrade my accomodation to one of their suite rooms,wherein a generic DVD player was available, with 24 titles to choose from;on the house, unfortunately, I have watched them all)
My only regret with this model is it's price (you can buy 3 Coby portables),and thus, I couldn't take my unit to the Q for fear of you know what. ;)

If I remember right  >25K (roughly $500)

It's my wife who bought it at Rustan's, it's a lot cheaper nowadays at any major appliance store.

It has no Divx capability, the new batches comes with a free TV tuner, unlike last christmas, you'll have to buy the TV tuner at 5.3K.

I saw this new Nextbase Player with USB and memory card ports. I saw it being displayed in the Western appliance center. It costs around 4.5k. I didn't get the model number but it's a little bigger than the white player and it has a silver finish. Has anyone tested it and any feedbacks? Thanks
Title: Re: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: newbie pa rin on Nov 06, 2006 at 03:30 PM
I already tested it.
Plays all dvd format na ayaw i-play ng ibang player(Phillips,Pioneer,Promac).

Supports FAT32 for the USB hindi kasi gumana NTFS na dala ko.
No DTS but I have a receiver with DTS so OK lang.

Currently contemplating on getting a Xenon(with DTS), a Nextbase(hindi mapili) or a Pioneer(with Burr Brown).

Usb, card slot and mp4 player na sya.
Yan ang pinagkaiba nito sa mga nauna nyang model.

Yes, I recently bought the Nextbase NB 860, so far im very satisfied with it. Ganda ng system nya it is similar to those branded players like Philips, Pioneer but much better because it passed 80 to 90% of the test on my DIV X test CD... pati nga yung mga sales personnel sa SM nabigla nung nagtest ako ng available branded players nila ...  It does not have DTS decoder yet but  Im satisfied with its 2 Channel Virtual surround and the 5.1 channel output anyways. Its a really BANG FOR THE BUCK Player.  ;D

I was originally eyeing for the XENON 840 however when I tested it wow this player sucked bigtime... Slow system, hangs when reading divx and mp4 and it failed most of the test on the DIVX TEST CD I brought along with me, it even hangs when trying to play divx file from the USB thumb drive too. I dont even think it really has a DTS Decoder too but it has 5.1 output.

bro, did it play mp4 files when you tested it? i already bought one and it seems ok, kasi napa - play nya mga divx files..but the mp4 files, di nya makita..do i need to setup something with the files (decoding, file extension) para ma-read? thanks..

I got by Nextbase 656 DVD player and not only does it not pass DTS signal through the Optical output, but it ONLY passes Dolby Digital 5.1 Signal through the Optical out.

I popped in my LOTR extended edition dvd, which is Dolby Digital EX 6.1 and DTS ES Discreet 6.1. Of course, no sound on the DTS signal. WORSE, the Dolby Digital EX 6.1 signal was downsampled to ONLY normal Dolby Digital 5.1.

Same here, " binalik ko nga"

Instead I got the Pioneer 393 and only added 295 pesos.

ewan ko lang kung na-feel niyo ito, pero ako feel ko, magmula nang lumabas ang mga 8-in-1 na DVDs, parang nawala na rin ang gana ng tao mag discuss about dvd players.

kasi sa tutuo, ang pangit ng duplication ng mga 8-in-1 na yan to the point it seems not a good entertainment gadget na ang dvd players. what use kung ang lalabo ng mapapanuod mo, di ba?

kaya nga feel ko ngayon, it is the Ipods na ang nagiging gadget of choice.

Using Nextbase 656. Nakakabit lang sa TV since wala naman kaming receiver speakers etc. Pero kanina lang, nagbago yung tunog. Parang nagbrebreak and huminayung sound. Kailangang ilagay sa 90-100 ngayon. Dati sa 30-50 na volume ok na. Hindi naman sa TV since ok naman sa mga cable channels. Sinubukan ko rin sa ibang DVD na alam kong maayos ang tunog and well, ganun rin sila. Wala naman akong napindot AFAIK. Ano kayang probema dun?

Title: Re: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: mrk_cute on Jan 12, 2008 at 02:36 AM
@ mavi_28 - got a nb656 as well and the owner's manual doesn't say anything about setting up the microphone feature, basically it's just plug and play (kung di gumagana yung sayo eh most probbably sira yung mic function ng player mo). The disadvantage of using your nb for mic or videoke purposes is yung volume control nya is at the back of the player and medyo may split second delay yung output ng boses mo and kailangan mo pa ilapit yung mic sa mouth when singing para ma pick up nya yung boses mo. Iv'e tried it with my nb656 with a good quality mic and ganun din nangyari. My suggestion is to buy a cheap karaoke amplifier na merong mic output. I'm using a konzert ampli for my videoke setup. Also, add ko lang na my nb656 has been with me for over 3 years now and hanggang ngayon ok na ok pa rin sya.  ;D ;D

yes, nextbase with divx mark can play xvid encoded videos. i have no idea if future version of divx can be played, but most likely it should still be possible.

I play avi files on my USB with .srt subs and for some strange reason it always shows the subs which are not formatted and look plainly bad. Any idea on how I may solve this problem?
Thanks in advance~

Yes po... I'm using NB-831... I was able to watch My wife is a Gangster 3 (AVI file)... with *.sub, it can display 4 different subtitles because the movie is chinese and at the same time korean language... so it includes 4 subs. one with korean & english, two chinese & english, three chinese, and the fourth korean... It can also play embeded subtitles on divX files.... If you download Gorgeous (DivX file) by Jackie Chan and Shu Qi, it has embeded subtitles... NB-831 will play this also....

Hi guys!

I just bought a Next Base 800 player as replacement for my more than 2 y.o. NB656.   It has most of the standard specs except the memory stick port.  It costs P2.3K at Automatic Center in G4.  Im in the "burn-in" stage at the moment and will let you know how it performs.

But does anybody have had any experience on this model?

This player can recognize hard drive partitioned in FAT32 (max 32GB). It can even accept a maximum of 2 partition (32GB each). You just need an enclosure for your hard drive so you could plug it in the USB port.

I just bought nb 895, so far so good nman, it can play anything I throw in it.

but i really cant test dts, component and hdmi kc i'm just using composite.

One glitch though...

I bought a hdmi to dvi cable. I connected it to my korean lcd tv but the lcd cannot detect the signal. I dont know if its the lcd or the dvd player.

Any suggestion on how I can sort this out.
Title: Re: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: Alfie on Dec 24, 2008 at 07:35 AM
Have you tried to configure your player to output signal via HDMI?

It's located in the setup menu.

Initally you can set it up on your composite connection, then check if it'lll work.

Happy Watching. ;)
Title: Re: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: marfillaster on Dec 24, 2008 at 10:29 AM
For NB895

You can easily switch output(YUV interlace/YUV composite/HDMI) signal because there is a dedicated button. Component/YUV must be disabled so that HDMI can be enabled. I checked that YUV can upscale up to 1080p/1080i but switching to HDMI will only allow up to 720. I have not verified this yet because my lcd tv cannot detect the signal via hdmi-vgi connection. Need to go back to abenson to test the hdmi using the adaptor. If it works, then my lcd tv is the problem.

This player cannot play yet H.264. It will only play the audio if wrapped together in an avi container.

Anyone know of a good standalone tuner? Yung may hdmi in or pag wala kahit composite lang tapus may rgb/vgi/hdmi output.
Title: Re: NEXTBASE DVD
Post by: chi_kentz on Dec 24, 2008 at 04:07 PM
I am an owner of a NB895 and using HDMI connection. It can upscale to 1080P 60Hz or 50Hz flawlessly. I am very happy with its performance so far - very good menus, functions are easy to use (from DVD to USB, fast forward, time search, ...) Aesthetically, it looks very nice as well with the piano black finish and very minimal lights.

In terms of comparison, personally, its a bit better than Extreme and Phillips 5986 both at 1080P. For me, PQ is cleaner and fast moving scenes pan smoothly. The free HDMI cable is high quality as well.

Downside is its quite pricey.

Recently bought the NB-895 with 1080p upscaler. Mated it with my Toshiba 37CV500 and bought Planet Earth DVD. One word. AMAZING!!!

First time I saw my LCD TV played HDTV quality similar to those display units at the appliance centers. Sulit na sulit talaga.

Also watch Godfather 1 to 3 (marathon), ang linaw. Ganda ganda!

sorry for the delayed response

first, connect the dvd player and the lcd using the Video RCA plug, don't use HDMI.  then change use on lcd(input/signal via AV).  you'll get the signal andview the player again.  press the setup button on the remote of the dvd player.  go to PREFERENCE (the last icon to the right) and menu down to DEFAULT. press RESET.  That's it.  of course, connect again the player and lcd using HDMI cable.  ;D

I have been using the nextbase 656 for years now and it played almost all p discs i can throw at it (the purple 3 for 100 type). However, it finally conked at me and i need to buy a new player. Are the new nextbase players (NB-800/890/895/etc) as good as the old 656 in playing p discs? (the really cheap ones that can be bought in quiapo na mahina ang quality)?  Yung Toshiba XDE kasi ng friend ko nde kinaya. Laging nag ski skip and madaming artifacts while the 656 ng isa ko pang friend kinaya yung low quality quiapo discs.

Lalo na may mga nakita ako sa internet na nagloko daw ang xde nila after ilang months. hayy ang hirap mag decide. Gusto ko mas maganda pq pero kung ganito ng ganito baka nextbase na nga lang din kukunin ko at least 1 year warranty at alam may service center pa. Ang hirap mamili :'(. Mga guys may feedback na ba kayong narinig about the life span ng xde? Kasi yung mga sellers sa marketplace na galing U.S 3 months warranty lang. Ang feedback ko sa nextbase matibay daw yung xde kaya may nakakalam po ba?. TIA.

i can only compare it to a non-upscaling philips kase yung yung other player ko.

upscaling capability is great on the nextbase!  just feed it with a decent source and it will perform well.  i used a copy of iron man and it upscaled it perfectly.

wala pa naman s'yang hindi napeplay sa mga natry kong dvds.

Yes, it has optical output.

Bought my NB-895 at SM Appliances Marikina last Saturday, for P 3,995 with 0% interest over 3 months on HSBC credit card.  With free HDMI cable na.

The smooth glossy finish of the casing makes it look spiffy and expensive.

Tried it out on my Panasonic 32" LCD TV via HDMI.  Looks great even at 720p.

Medyo hassle lang kasi yung USB slot is on the side of the unit, not in front.  The LED display window is also very tiny and has very little info. The remote's keypad layout is somewhat haphazard, and the user manual is kinda amateurishly done. 

But hey, the performance is the important thing, and so far it's been good.  More responsive and with better build quality than my Xtreme 1080 HDMI player.

3 yrs old na tong nextbase ko (on top of the pio) without any signs of slowing down, so far lahat ng sparrows ko gumagana sa kanya. forgot the model number iconfirm ko when i get the chance

i only encountered problems sa usb movies kasi minsan hindi nya tinatanggap yung higher resolutions, what i do is resize them through winavi and convert them to avi/mpeg.

mern kaso nde sya naka highlight nde mo sya pwede piliin 
Huh?
hindi ba sya pwede i select?
binalik ko kase ulit sa box ung nb895 ko together with my pany 32x10 sa 21" crt ko pa lang sya na try.
lilipat kase kame sa bulacan next week kaya invest na ko habang nasa manila pa kami.

baka mas maganda pa mag upscale yung samy ht-z210 ko ha compare sa nb895. :-[

NB 895 is now selling at around P3.6k  (formerly at around P4.5k) sa SM Appliance with HDMI cable.
All my old nextbase dvd players  (6yrs ago), still working flawlessly.

i was trying to connect my nextbase nb-895 to my receiver (wishful) thinking whether the HDMI has audio transfer.  and i realized my suspicion that the HDMI terminal of this nextbase is only video.  The funny thing was when i was browsing the manual, it states that the player has DTS decoder  ;D  (which we all knew has only DD decoders).

I have this Nextbase NB-895 HDMI player, bought it 3 weeks ago. Has been replaced three times already. This player can read all of my p-dvd9s but sometimes it hangs on some parts of the movie while playing it. Sometimes it plays my dvd9s without any problem. All those p-dvd9s that hangs on this player does not hangs and plays all the way to the end in my LG non HDMI player. 

So what I did is, I brought all those dvd9s (around 8 dvd9 movies) to the store and showed to the sales person of Nextbase the issue. He tested all of it and realized that all my complains are valid. He also tested the dvd9s using the store's LG unit and found out that LG does not hang on those part that hanged on NextbaseNB-895. I also tested all my dvd9s in a Ganzklar HDMI player and found no problems at all. The salesperson of Nextbase tried several of their units and gave me the one which played the most of my dvds. He said that maybe the lens of this model is the culprit.

The first unit I got from Nextbase hangs up and sometimes blacks-out. Second replacement also hangs-up on certain parts of the movie. Now the third replacement played some of those 8 dvd9s but the rest still hangs-up. I would like to replace it with another brand (philips, ganzklar or sony) but unfortunately is no longer allowed daw!!!.

I have no choice but to accept the third replacement and maybe just buy another brand later on. If I only knew about this issue on this Nextbase model, I should have gotten the Philips HDMI player which is about 1K more expensive or the Ganzklar HDMI which is 1K less expensive.

In fairness to this model, video and audio quality is very good for its price.

Saan b nkkbli nitong xtreme dvd player with dts at magkano ba ang selling price nito?
Naghanap na ako sa Ansons at SM Appliance kaso wala naman akong nakitang ganitong model. Yung Ganzklar HDMI player kasi walang DTS, pero yung Philips 3588K meron.

Ganzklar -  2,500.00 cash (no HDMI cable)
Philips    -  4,490.00 less 270 on cash (with HDMI cable)

I saw a big difference on PQ using HDMI as compared to Component cable. Colors and brightness are more defined. Only problem with Nextbase NB-895 is that it hangs on centain parts on a movie being played. I then played that hanged part on my LG and Samsung player and everything seems to work well.

Minsan naman walang problema ung ibang dvd movies ko sa Nextbase 895. I think sa lens talaga ang problema ng Nextbase. Well, I already had it replaced (3) three times sa Ansons Makati. Mas Ok p nga ung Ganzklar HDMI player eh, lhat ng part n nag hang sa Nextbase walang problema sa kanya. Ewan ko lang kung kasing tibay ng Nextbase ung Ganzklar considering pareho lang silang made in China. Ung Nextbase kasi kahit more than 5 yrs. na eh working parin, not so sure about Ganzklar though. Sayang din kasi ang 2,500 pesos na Ganzklar kung masisira sya after ng (1) one yr. warranty period.

Hi,

Inquire lang po ako kung anu-anong files napplay ng NB-895 through USB.. Kaya ba nito basahin avi, mkv at mp4? Yan lang po importanteng files para sakin.. TIA!

Post by: atbondoc on Dec 21, 2010 at 07:07 PM
hi, i downloaded movies in .MKV format and .MP4 but it doesn't play on NB-895 (2gb usb). I converted them into .AVI but i could only hear the audio but NO video. is there a particular setting in converting?
i thought this player supports .MP4 movies, what seems to be the problem.
thanks in advance.
