hi,
extreme dvd players default screensaver is exacatly the same as nextbase slim wherein it is colored yellow orange-ish with droplet of water image. except of course the word on the default screen is EXTREME instead of NEXTBASE.
other things aside, since i only saw it as it was set up but a store along carriedo's many chinese merchants stores, where they display pile upon pile of dvd, vcd players, all i can say is it might be a clone of nextbase as far as the chip inside is concerned.
however, to be honest with you, if the price of extreme is NOT at least 800pesos CHEAPER than the current market price of a new nextbase slim dvd9000, i will NOT gamble on it after having the "assurance" of how well the nextbase has been tested and performing. if the price of extreme is same as nextbase, i wont give it a look at all. if more expenisve, all the more it is a goodbye.
i am not aware though is extreme dvd has a warranty card and if it does, is it the same as nextbase's TECHNOPOINT. if it is, naku... dapat imbistigahan!!
:D
- DTS and THX decoder (KB6089 is DTS decoder only)
- according to Caleb @ Kebao thread...XTREME has 1800 lines VGA resolution compared to Kebao w/ 1200 lines. Does this mean XTREME has progressive scan?
Is this for real?
it's what is printed at the player itself, together with those DTS Surround and Dolby Digital labels. there's a big possibility that it is true coz as i've mentioned...XTREME manufacturer has been a manufacturer of XTREME dvd drives for computers.
- 4x zoom (KB6089 zoom is 3x only)
- DTS and THX decoder (KB6089 is DTS decoder only)
4x Zoom and THX Decoder?
Well.. have seen one but have'nt tried one yet before i bought a KEBAO KB6089 that same day..
THX Decoder on an EXTREME DVD Player? ::)
Hmm... What do you think guys?
naka punta ako ng raon kahapon. nagkataon na yung tiningnan kong nextbase dv9000 yung nakapatong ay XTRME DVxxx (xxx kasi nakalimutan ko na yung model number ???). kinumpara ko yung 2 at identical yung front body design (shape, location, size of buttons/drive). ang pinagkaiba lang ay yung label kasama yung THX decoder na wala sa nextbase. sa likod naman magkaiba kasi yung XTRME kompleto pati yung AC-3 terminal at saka exhaust fan. dahil nga sa pareho yung design sa harap, nagtanong ako sa babae at sabi nya iisa lang daw ang gumagawa ng XTREME at bextbase. sabi pa nya iisa lang din daw ang service center ng dalawa. mas popular nga lang daw ang nextbase kaya mas mahal ng konti. bakit nga ba di sumikat ang XTREME samantalang mukhang talo pa nya kahit yung kebao kb6089? btw, meron pa isang model ng XTREME na TOTALLY identical (except brand label) sa nextbase dv9000 ---> XTREME DV3000.
Anyway, have you had a Nextbase or Extreme DVD Player before that you had tried before you concluded that it has surpassed the Kebao KB6089 DVD Player in terms of its specs?
Just a question... :)
Extreme DVD Player has the ff:
HDCD - Exhaust Fan - VGA Out - Equalizer - DTS - Echo
But no Pitch Control
Looks good on the outside - a perfect clone of the Pioneer 366
Next Base 783 sucks in appearance but then Next base is definitely a better performer (better video and audio performance) than the Xtreme. Don't waste your money on this.
Next Base pa rin!!!
well, sabi ng mga tindera its much better than NB slim. at may DTS pa daw? I noticed pati yung Extreme logo may hawig sa Nextbase eh. ???
4x Zoom and THX Decoder?
Well.. have seen one but have'nt tried one yet before i bought a KEBAO KB6089 that same day..

XTREME DV-6500A
* a clone of the Pioneer DV-366 DVD player
It seems that this player is a bit underrated, but after recommending it to a friend and a fellow forumer (RobertJ), I got favorable feedbacks regarding the said DVD player... I hate to say this but I think I have to part with my beloved KEBAO KB6089 :'( and replace it with this baby since it has mostly the features of KEBAO KB6089... well, it exceeds pa nga since this baby can display anamorphic PAL discs correctly :D and the japorms is ala-Pioneer pa with decent looking remote but the best part is the loaded features that it has which gives the user flexibility and complete control especially for those with HT setup ;)
I bought extreme DVD DV6500, and i was impressed by its features, all the features of the pioneer 566K as well as the looks of it is in it and even surpasses it as it reads both DVD=-r/rw :) :) :). I have tried different models and was impressed by two players, the powtek dvd is good also and has nice packaging, the best ( amongst the cheap DVD players). About the extreme dvd, well I have tried all types of cd's ( cdr, cdrw, dvd-r, dvd-rw, dvd+r, dvd-rw) available, it reads jpg,gif, kodak picture formats, reads mp3,mpg,wma,mpeg-files. And it reads all my old DVD's that is not readable on other players..

but it got a cool control kesa sa pioneer. Bakit ko nasabing cool? Well yung numerical buttons nya from 1-0 instead of using the usual round or square type the used the number shape mismo so salat na salat nmo yung mga number. the play button also shape as a triangle, stop square yung pause, forward and backward symbol yun din ang naka shape sa buttons nya.
Ito pa ang pinaka cool GLOW IN THE DARK pa siya. Ang saya lalo na pag pinatay mo ang ilaw para masarap manuod di ka na mahihirapan magpindot.
Also i've noticed that it uses the same software of Nextbase pag pindot mo ng setup menu same features may nadagdag lang siya sa audio setup.
and 1 pa iisa lang daw ang service center nitong Xtreme at Nextbase so I'M PRETTY SURE that Xtreme and Nextbase iisa lang ang gumagawa. Meaning kung maganda ang Nextbase maganda rin ang Xtreme.
Guys tanong lang, does xtreme DVD 6500 have a VGA output at the back that can be connected to computer monitor?
In terms of capabilities and features can it it compare or surpass the KEBAO 6089?
How about its warranty?
May tindahan ba sa Raon na nagbibigay ng 2 years warranty on parts and lifetime service warranty on these xtreme DVD players just like what NMB offer on their KEBAO 6089 units? Thanks! ;D
I bought Xtreme DVD 6500 last Monday and these are my feedback...
Tama si Bestbuy yung Screen saver ng Nextbase and Xtreme are the same
My brother bought Nextbase last dec 28 NB785 ata yun yugn may round LCD cost him 3,600 my Xtreme only cost 3,400 (same store)
Yup base sa Box and label nya DTS na siya compare sa NB785
Para naman kay natxxx Xtreme can also play jpeg, may equalizer din sya the same ng sa next base
Multi region din siya, but it doesnt have pitch control echo lang and volume yung control nya sa mic (karaoke)
and its true it has a 1800lines VGA resolution.
Identical ang front body nya sa Pioneer 566k and not 366 kasi it has 2mic input on the front right.
but it got a cool control kesa sa pioneer. Bakit ko nasabing cool? Well yung numerical buttons nya from 1-0 instead of using the usual round or square type the used the number shape mismo so salat na salat nmo yung mga number. the play button also shape as a triangle, stop square yung pause, forward and backward symbol yun din ang naka shape sa buttons nya.

Some observations with the Xtreme DVD player;question; para saan yung password
4) Downside is that no one knows what the password is, I called up the distributor(theyr'e also at the Raon mall), via the # provided in the warranty card, and no reliable info can be gathered from these people.
yup-yup...that's the 1st password I tried. :P :'(
Hopefully we can discover it one day :P
Ayan naipost ko na yugn pics ng Xtreme DVDCan't see any
Can't see anyMay pics na po sa taas ng post na yan kung di mo ma view di ko na po alam kasi dito na viview ko eh. Anyone can confirm kung may pics na nga ba akong nai post dito?

does it have DTS decoder?
philander,
di ba yung pioneer 566k 'dts digital out' lang din at di 'dts surround'? btw, how would you know kung yung SRS ng xtreme ay label lang at di totoo?
People,
Better aks the opinion of Monzki & Alfie regarding the heating problem of the extreme resulting to rejection or non playability of DVDs.
You can PM them regarding this.
Better aks the opinion of Monzki & Alfie regarding the heating problem of the extreme resulting to rejection or non playability of DVDs.
most of nextbase models have no exhaust fan and yet there's no overheating problem.
4) It decodes HDCD, DVD-R,DVD-RW,JPEG which the Kebao and Nextbase cannot.
5) It has controls on it's faceplate, so even if your remote goes or gets lost, you'll have no problem looking for a replacement.
now that xtreme is a clone of pioneer 566k...i can have a pioneer 566k @ P3.2K which can play those p-dvds. ;D
how do i know if a disc is HDCD?
To xtreme DVD users,
I notice during my test of the player yesterday the remote control has no AUDIO button (like Kebao or nextbase).
thanky for the review bro, ;Dmy kebao kb6089 can play jpeg. not sure about dvd-r and dvd-rw coz i don't have them. kebao can't decode hdcd i guess.
My KEBAO 3089 cannot decode the PinoyDVDs on DVD-R that I got. :'( :'( :'(
It has...It's labelled TRACK ;)
As in AUdio Track. ;D
My KEBAO 3089 cannot decode the PinoyDVDs on DVD-R that I got. :'( :'( :'(
sir Alfie,
what do you mean it can not decode Pinoydvds?
He-he...it's the DVD-R versions :-X :-\ :'( that I got....not the original being sold at Astrovision....furthermore, mine is the 3089 model, Caleb has confirmed that the 6089 can decode/play any DVD-R.
no offense intended, i'm just curious, are pirated dvds DVD-R, DVD+R, or what?
Is this for real?
THX DECODER??? That's new :P
Iba yung model ng extreme na may label na THX. Yung bagong Xtreme DV 6500, walang THX ek ek.
as far as i know, THX is a certification and it's not a codec.
badtrip....
my xtreme can't play any disc at all anymore... i dunno what happened... if ever manuod naman ako around 2 hours lang naman a day... just last night i was able to watch pa... tapos just now i can't play any disc anymore....
hmmm.... try ko papalitan tmoro ng bagong unit....
How long do you usualy use the unit and gaano na katagal yan sa'yo?
Question to all XTREME DV 6500A Owners: ???
Does the internal fan of Xtreme 6500 stay running when you turn the player off using the remote control?
I recently purchased one of these players. After viewing a movie late at night and turning it off with the remote, I was surprised to hear the fan still running when I checked the player in the morning. :-\
Thanks in advance for your inputs! :)
Hello! May question lang ako regarding KB3089 model. Talaga ba na if you turn-off the unit using the remote, the fan behind the unit is still running. Whereas, it will finally come to a stop if you press the power button on the unit itself. Ganito rin ba ang napuna niyo sa mga units niyo? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Yup-yup...Fan continues to blow in the wait mode,since the chips and motors remained activated and still heats up.....still far better to turn it off completely by disengaging the power button
the same case in kebao. but i think that's a good feature actually. read the replies from kebao thread...
Hi!
Could you enlighten me here guys coz im planning to buy another DVD Player, i currently own a Kebao KB6089 and i'am planning to buy either the XTREME DV 6500A or the Skyworth 2650..
I had read a lot of positive feedbacks on you guys in this thread about the XTREME DV 6500A and i think this DVD Player would be my next purchase. But, as what i've read on the other thread is it true that the XTREME DV 6500A has a heating problem and in the long run eh namimili daw ng disc? ???

Can any of you guys give your opinion/comments on this?
Thanks! :)
Hi jackryan,
Thanks for the usual quick reply. :)
Let us know your evaluations of the Extreme
in combination with your Samsung DLP.
I'm using mine with a Sony wide HD kv32hd5.
Any available DVD player with quality upscaler around?
(aside from the Momitsu) [Also with Macrovision
disabled, Please!] :P
I hope someone has already experimented and
successfully removed Macrovision enabling on the
Extreme 6500A.
roadster
how to turn off Macrovision for this value packed player?
bought the Xtreme DV-6500 player yesterday. so far, tested the S-video and VGA outputs for picture quality. Ganda ng display sa 29" MM monitor ;D. for me, this unit is a best buy specially if you will use the VGA option.
kaya lang everytime na you turnoff/on yung unit nag de-default sya sa AV input. Kailangan pang i-push ng ilang beses yung VGA/Av button sa remote para bumalik sa VGA. Anyone encountered this o baka yung player ko lang ???
tested VCD's , pDVD, JPEG files, and badly scratched DVD's and all played without problem :)
finally found the PASSWORDthru the benevolence of fellow memberMONZKI ;D ;D ;D
136900
Wow that's great. Don't tell me that you started from 000000... hahhahah.
parehas lang units natin 8) super linaw sa VGA!!! ;D but still has to press VGA/AV button several time. :P
So this model displays the bit rate. Does it vary in real time?
Hi there guys,
if i may ask sir monzki and other xtreme owners...does this already have its own service center? like techpoint for nextbase and skyworth? :-\
thanks
tha kash
i got mine at 3400...
how much is the 6500a currently going for at raon? ???
jam,
where did u get yours? ung binili mu ba, silver or gold? napansin mu ba kung meron yellow sticker sa ibabaw?
thanks,
jake
AFAIK yung meron yellow sticker sa ibabaw yung old stocks na may bitrate display. i would avoid getting these coz there's a good chance na returned units na ang mga ito... my 2 centavos 8)
6mos ata parts and labor..not sure din... have to bring up the warranty card pa.. ???
btw napansin ko lang... some people had prblems with freezing of the 6500a, well it happend to may 6500a about a week ago (had it for 2mos now)
it was in room A when i first installed it, nakakabit sa voltage regulator at 220v, no problems for about a month and 2weeks, tapos nung natapos yung isang room (room B) nilipat ko dun yung player pero i didnt plug it in sa regulator, direct lang sa wall outlet...lo and behold after a week of watching only about 4 movies(entire week) nagfreeze na din ng mga twice per disc yung 6500a ko... so after much thought (yeah right) i got myself a new voltage regulator(kelangan ko din for other components) and plugged it in sa 220v nun..ayan nawala yung problem of freezing....share ko lang experience ko.. baka solution sa ibang mayprob na ganito is this simple lang...
It has...It's labelled TRACK ;)
As in AUdio Track. ;D
Happy Easter, people.
Here's my update on my Xtreme dvd player:
On April 6, I brought it to Raon Shopping Center, stall 37, where I bought it. Major Lesson: Avoid that place. >:(They have the worst customer service I've ever received from a Raon store. Sorry but I have to mention this. Anyway, this is an aside.
Found the legit service center for Xtreme at Stall 57 (Venus), Raon Shopping Center II. They worked on my unit and the job was done in under 30 minutes and lo, my unit operated good as new. There was something loose in the internal workings of my player, I was told.
Since then, I've been using my unit daily, watching as many as 5 discs a day, especially during the Holy Week. No problems so far.
Conclusion: This can happen to any appliance. Make sure you know where are their legit service centers.
Fear not, Xtreme dvd player owners. This brand still rocks! O0
FYI, the Xtreme dvd player has PITCH CONTROL. But you must have a universal remote to have this feature. Most China made dvd players uses the same chipsets so the setup menu looks the same, but that doesn't mean that iisa lang ang gumagawa ng Xtreme, Nextbase, Xenon, Skyworth and other china made players bearing the same set-up menu. Thses players are using the TYPE 2 Mediatek MT1379 chipsets tha's why they all have the same set-up menu.
Iisa lang ba model nitong extreme? May nakita kase ako sa Nintendo Festival Mall gusto ko lang malaman kung the same to as the extreme player na pinag-uusapan dito. Is this better than nextbase?
i'll post it tomorrow. BTW i am using a Radio Shack Universal Remote be sure that your remote is made by OFA/RS for the codes to work.Yes, I also got the Radio Shack Universal Remote. Have you also got the main code for the Extreme DVD para di ko na elearn evry button? BTW, have you already make your own terminal for programming RS with the computer?

Ah ok. My friend is planning to buy a new dvd player and namimili ako kung ano ba talaga Skyworth, Nextbase or Extreme? I have the old Nextbase dv-9000 and so far no problem lahat ng dvd na sinalpak ko naplay ng maayos (except matrix na p* nagha-hang) and im satisfied with it. What brand and specific model would be the best bang for the buck right now? Kahit walang DTS ok lang.

hey stac! O0
ask ko lng, wer did ur frend get his xtreme player and for how much...judging from your description...halo ung features ng old xtreme players w/ the later models, kc ung lumang models daw ang meron bit rate display, no "ding" sound achka meron yellow sticker...the newer models had the "ding" sound, no bit rate display and no yellow sticker...
thanks in advance, ;D

Xtreme's vga out looked way way to harsh, even the subtitles didnt look right, its hard to explain, but the outermost outline of the letters appear to be doubling in a appearance. :) thanks for the reply, appreciate it. Just wanna know if my unit has a defect or something.
can anybody here confirm which is better? xtreme dvd6500a or skyworth 1050p. thanks! :)
Duz the skyworth unit have on-board DTS decoder? and is it already available here in the phils? ???
Duz the skyworth unit have on-board DTS decoder? and is it already available here in the phils? ???
i'm just wondering whether NATXXX has already bought an Xtreme dvd player. As i read through this thread, he had been stating the features of the xtreme and saying he would be buying one. I wonder if he has already bought one and what his feedback is. And if he has not bought one, what made him decide not to buy one.
no offense meant but one wonders if he was just promoting the player. hehe. ;D ;)
On my own point of view, Skyworth 1050P is much more better than that of Xtreme dvd6500a. For one thing Skyworth 1050P is the most advanced DVD player on the market especially on Generic side or even on the branded side, why? - It's because 1050P has a Faroudja Sage FLI2200. Check the the Skyworth thread for more details. O0
They've got a showroom in their office of all nextbase and skyworth products presently being sold locally and up and coming products (would you believe, a Skyworth TV?).
You could check this out with Techpoint since this is the Phil. distributor of Nextbase and Skyworth. They've got a showroom in their office of all nextbase and skyworth products presently being sold locally and up and coming products (would you believe, a Skyworth TV?). They'd be more than happy to answer any inquiries regarding their products and their accredited dealers. I know because I've visited them several times already. Here's their address and phone number:

Dude does Techpoint has the Skyworth 1050P model already?
There is an ad in the Manila Bulletin today for the Extreme DVD players
Model DV-6800A P3,850
Model DV-6800
Model DV-6999A P3,950
Anyone know what features the DV-6999A has that the DV-6800A does not have?
Has anyone evaluated the model DV-6999A?
Thanks for the info jireyes.
There was no telephone number on the Bulletin ad, only the listing of dealers from
Nintendo to Venus electronic in Raon.
This might help.
I've been to Venus Electronics in Raon Shopping Center, which is the exclusive distributor and service center of thje Xtreme DVD players. They carry two models of this brand, the 6800A (PhP 3,300) and their newer model, the 6500 (PhP 3,400). I did not see any model DV-6800 nor DV-6999A. Did the Bulletin Ad leave any phone number?
The major difference between the two models I saw at Venus is that the 6500 front panel instrumentation is less than that of the 6800A. Only the set-up menu for the player is present in the 6500 compared with the set-up menu, title menu and dvd-menu call-ups on the 6800A front panel. Sad to say, I have not been able to try out the 6500 yet but will be doing so within this week. ;)
Hi, people. Pahabaol lang na correction. The models are the DV 6500A (the older model) and the DV 6800 (this is the newer model). Sorry for the typo.
yeah, the 6800 is a clone of Nextbase slim 9000
yup, and afaik, 6800 is an older model than 6500A.
question po...........
para saan yung mga rca out sa kaliwat kanan ng coax (digital out)? the other one is marked MR and i forgot the other one.
tnx.

e2 lng masasabi ko s extreme dvd players >:D they are trying hard and copycat of nextbase, grabe pati screen saver ginaya. pati font ng lettering ginaya, napansin nyo b? i wonder what techpoint is doing about this? generic brand n gingaya p. that only mean sikat n ang nextbase. ???
just saw this new Xtreme model sa website nila. Looks cool. Seems to have the best features. However, walang nabanggit kung may progressive scan o wala. Does anybody know kung ano pa ang ibang features ng model na ito? Any feedback on its performance and quality?
question po...........
ano po ba ang code nito para magamit ko sa yamaha remote?
salamat.............
sayang etong Extreme, kung kasing solid lang ng transport ng Skyworth hands-down eto na sana ang d'best..... binasa ko manual ng 6500/6800 hanep sa features (ewan ko lang kung totoo): 192khz/24-bit DAC, 88khz HDCD support, prog scan, video adjustments, built-in equalizer, DD/DTS decoder, etc....... kulang na lang yung consistency sa pagbasa ng disks, w/c is the most important of all.and meron pang other extras like vga out and 2 mic jacks (if that's impt to you.) but after reading through this thread, looks like it can still be better.
Ano difference between Xtreme 6500, 6800 and 6999? Alin ang best buy? Yung 6999 lang ba ang may DTS decoder?
Bought Xtreme 6999-! from Venus sa Raon for only P2,800. So far, so good. All functions ok. Yung pinaka-natuwa ako sa new features niya was yung built-in prologic decoder niya, ayos siya, kahit VCD or Dolby 2.0 lang yung audio, kaya niyang gawing parang 5.1 surround. May separation talaga, unlike yung prologic ng ibang generics na pare-pareho lang lumalabas sa speakers. Sana magtagal-tagal naman itong unit. As of now, medyo parang mas maganda ng konti picture quality ng Skyworth, pero hindi ko pa kasi na-aadjust yung picture settings nitong Xtreme, baka makuha doon..
The Xtreme 699a I got feeds this random popping sound to the speakers, it's especially obvious when playing audio CDs and during quiet moments. Nakakaasar! Tapos, the remote control has a VERY limited range. Hmmm... papalitan ko na kaya?
Perhaps this could help. Go to Venus Electronics at Raon and look for Rodel. I found him to be very helpful. Perhaps he could assist you with your unit's woes.Quote
Do you have the phone number of Venus Electronics ? Saan sa Raon? THanks ;)
Sir Edu_Manzano,
Saan sa Raon ka nakabili ng 2.3K na xtreme dvd and what model? Thanks

bought the Xtreme DV-6500 player. able to meet ruzzell, nice meeting you pre!
Pre, steady yung player. I tested it for 10 hours straight. Tried different media(dvd, vcd, audio cd, dvd-r, etc.). Wlang pinipiling disc. Ok talaga!!!!
Sir Edu,
Meron DTS decoder yung Xtreme!
Guys,
I noticed that there's no TRACK as in audio track in my remote control. Pareng Ruzzele, kindly check your remote control, pls. baka namalikmata lang ako.
Also, i noticed that my parental control setting has been locked, tried to clear using the 8888 code but to no avail, I tried the 136900 but still same result "incorrect password". I checked in the manual that it's a 4-digit code, do you guys know the code so i can set the ratings? Pls. advise. Thanks
Try mo yung LANGUAGE button :) Yan din sagot sa problema mo sa DTS 8)
Oo, parating na raw iyan, sabi ng taga-Venus. May picture na nga sila niyan sa banner nila.
Last November sabi nila darating daw iyan ng January so baka nandun na nga.
hi, has anyone tried the xtreme sound system? i saw one with a subwoofer nad speakers in silver. ang gara! how much kaya and maganda kaya?- bro saan ka nakakita ? Thanks,
i just know it's dasma building on dasmarinas street, near metrobank. phone number is 2431765
halvert:thanks to quentacky for helping! it's a building called Dasma Commercial something 6th floor ...katabi ng Metrobank Dasmarinas street sa Binondo.
1. nasaan na ang repair center ng xtreme/venus marketing? saan sa dasmarinas?
2. have you got back your unit? how is it? working na?
my unit also freezes for 2 to 3 secs is this common ?? xtreme kasi is my 1st DVD..
My XTREME 6500A is more than two years old already... and in that span of time, it has undergone two lens replacement which cost me Ps 1,750.00 :o Some might laugh and mock me for having it repaired instead of buying a replacement unit ::) But up to now, I haven't seen a generic player that has the loaded features of my XTREME with a sleek design to boot ;)
Well, that's just me... XTREME I love! O0
Bro. talagang ganyan. pag love mo talaga ang isang bagay, ayaw mo mawala sa buhay mo.
"Parang asawa, kahit me diperensya, hindi dinidispatsa!" ;D
Yan nga lang may bitrate reader among generic (and maybe even among branded) players.
Yung Skyworth ko, 1 year and 7 months na. DVD5 na lang ang binabasa at first layer ng DVD9s. Di ko rin madispatsa.

Hi Monzki, didn't you buy your Xtreme January 2004 or late 2003 so around 1 year and a half. Mine was 13 months when I had the lens replaced for 1000. And it's been 3 months it's still working with the usual quirks and like you if it get's broken again I'm willing to pay another 1000 to have the lens replaced.
Question:
Hirap na basahin ng player ko kapag dual layer (yung second layer ng disc, forever pause na sya)... may problem na kaya yung player? May sira kaya?
Dapat na palitan... or ipaayos (baka same lang yung price kung papalitan ng bago)?
Saan nagpapaayos ng Extreme players?
Mga 1 year na ang player... medyo gamit na din sa kakanood.
Pero kapag single layer naman and DVD-Rs, it works fine.
Thanks in advance sa sasagot.
Bro,
You could have your unit repaired at Venus Electronics their contact no. is 733-5075, their service center is near Sta. Cruz Church in Avenida or Escolta area. 8)
Sir Monzki... thanks a lot. Tama, may problem nga. Kasi I tried it sa Nextbase player, walang pause na nangyari.
Thanks ulit. :)

after more than a year of use, my Xtreme DVD player won't read any disc.
the trimmer for adjusting the light intensity ( AKA alignment ) is located underneath the tray/transport. you have to remove the 4 screws holding the tray for you to see it.
i adjusted the trimmer and now my Xtreme DVD player works fine.
pray that you've calibrated the lens in the best possible setting otherwise bibigay yung chipset naman niya later on.
/quote]
that would be the trick! i don't over-adjust the trimmer. once the player was able to read the disc, i then turn the trimmer back a bit.
It's been working well for about 4months now. if i can make the trimmer adjustment for 3 or 4 times before the player gives up, then that's enough money save on repair cost to buy a new player. but that's just me :)

Saw 4 new models of Xtreme players yesterday at Raon Shopping Center the DVD-006-009. The DVD-006 to 008 are slim type they had divx/mp4 markings on their chasis while the DVD-009 has the same style as the old 6500 model with front panel controls for the directions and enter buttons. Almost all stalls had them with the price of 2,300. They all had game ports at the back and 5.1 analog out (not sure though if true 5.1 or just like the Lexing which has fake 5.1 out)
I'm about to attempt to check my 6500 for lens alignment. My unit's almost 2 years old and in fact has been serviced twice by venus during the 1-year warranty period. What do I have to watch out for during re-alignment?
weird. my xtreme is suddenly functioning well today. i didn't do anything.
did it just heal itself? :o
bumili ako kanina ng Xtreme dv-006 for 2,200 sa raon kaso may problem nag stuter/freeze yung video/audio kapag dvd based ang divx/xvid files pero kapag cd based ok lang. pati dvd discs nag stuter din hindi ko kasi na test puro divx/xvid disc ang nadala ko kaya babalik pa tuloy ako bukas badtrip! :(
sir,
pasensya na sa sandamukal na katanungan...
handa ka na ba..? kamay sa dibdib ;D
eto na;
kamusta na new unit mo...?
ok ba sound.. totoo bang 5.1 audio out..?
dami games and meron pa 125 vid.ok based sa box...satisfied ba..?
sa pag-play ng divx...smooth po ba..?
how bout dvd9 discs...?
hangang dito na lang po....teynku in advance sir :D
ok naman yung replacement unit ko meron nga lang divx/xvid files na hindi sabay ang sound sa video pero yung iba ok naman siguro sa encoding or media kaya ganun. yung 5.1 hindi ko pa ma test wala pa akong 5.1 speakers pero may dolby/dts siya. games(family computer based) and karaoke disc (divx5 format). yup smooth ang divx/xvid playback niya actually kaya ako bumili dahil lang sa feature na ito. ;D
The model that had games incorporated in it, seems to be a rebadged "Lexing" and I'd avoid it since, from what I know, the games and FM tuner(there's a model that has one) contributes to overheatring, thus, diminishing the chipset's longevity. These group of players (DV-006 to DV-009) has the same chipset of Lexing and are being sold for 1.9 to 2.1K.thanks for the info and reply. i was just browsing through because i was gathering info on the nextbase 656, and saw this thread. thanks
There's a newer midsize model, that still has the Mediatek chipset, and is also DIVX capable, I just forgot the model #, and they sell these models at 2.2 to 2.4K.
There are around 6 models to choose from, and they're all available at the Raon Shopping Mall.
hi guys, just new here. and i think i'll find answers and info from here.
i have an xtreme dv-6500, about 3 yrs old na.
pwede ba upgrade firmware nito to read divx/xvid?
Bad trip ung player ko, the 8-1 pdvds has it sounds out of synch :(.

Bro,
Have you tried playing the 8-In-1 discs sa ibang player? Baka kasi yung encoding ng disc ang problema eh... also encountered it in my NOVA player which uses the same chipset gaya ng XTREME 6500A and I've isolated the problem as disc-related. :)
bro, we have the same model.. no I've already tried this.. hindi talaga pwede, iba ang mother board nito compare sa mga bagong lumalabas na bago... kung ako sa 'yo huwag mo nag ipabago, yan ang pinaka da best na model ng xtreme.. swak na swak sa audio and HT...
I bought last 2 weeks an extreme sd-188, all my unread pdvd are okay with this unit. I bought it 2,400 at raon. its features are divx, mp4, sd and usb outlet. But it is not DTS capable, only dolby digital. But its worth!! ;) Hope its quality will long last...
Hi, just a few questions.
1. Is the analog 5.1 output really 5.1 (meaning the dialogue only comes out in the center channel)?
2. Does it display widescreen divx files anamorphically?
3. Does it support subtitle files like SRT and IDX/SUB?
4. Does it play OGM files?
Thanks.
1. Yup its already 5.1 ready. cos im into home theater set-up, its already dolby digital decoder.
2. it has its option to letterbox, pan and scan, and 16:9 tv (hope this will answer ur question)
3. Wht do u mean? I played my dvd with other languages of subtitles, it can play all.
4. Sorry for the ignorance whats OGM? Does this files connected in burning of dvd's right to your computer?
1. For the 5.1 do you use the optical/coaxial digital out connected to a receiver or the 5.1 analog straight to the speakers?
2. What I mean by display Divx files anamorphically is does it change aspect ratio when switching from letter box to 16:9?
3. SRT and IDX/SUB are subtitle files that you place along with your divx files to display subtitles.
4. OGM is another file format that is mostly used in anime releases.
Thanks a lot

One thing I noticed is that the audio basically is the same, it's just that the DTS logo comes out as DD 5.1 X DPL2 with my HK 235.If your HK 235 does not display DTS it means that the signal is not DTS but DD.
Alfie
Fans of Xtreme DVD players rejoice. I went to Venus Electronics Enterprises this afternoon and purchased an SD-199, the latest model from Alfie's SD-166. I was informed by the owner that SM Appliances are now distributing their products but it is not available yet in all SM branches but only in SM Cubao and SM City. Sm's pricing for the SD-199 is around 2,900 pesos. They are seeking more retail distributors. She also assured me that they are in the market for good and will continue to support servicing their products. That was the reason I went to their T. Mapua, Sta Cruz, Manila repair office as after 4 years of service my 6500A is showing signs of pick up lens ageing. Hindi na makuha sa cleaning and fine adjustments on the focus and alignment potentiometers consistently.
Although the SD-199 only has Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding and not DTS, my disappointment on the audio side was surpassed by my delight on its video playing abilities as my preliminary tests indicate it is one of the best tracker with very smooth motion playback. I have not yet completed my full range of tests specially on divx burned discs but I am already pleased with my purchase. For me the old 6500A had everything for its time except divx and dvd-r compatibility but the sd-199 seems to have better error correction. It seem DTS decoding in inexpensive china brands is harder to comeby.
For those still looking for Xtreme or needing their service:
tel. 733-5075
Repair office: 509 Tomas Mapua St., Sta Cruz, Manila
email: [email protected]
They promise they will be bringing back their website after they finalize their update and visual makeovers. They also started to market new products like mp3 players in ipod appearances, portable small lcd screens, digital still picture frames etc.
Already posted the repair center/office of Venus at T. Mapua.
I did get a discount from the owner but the 2.9T is a good reference
point as that is their suggested retail price. On Divx compatibility it is
not so compatible. You have to finalize discs and only certain Divx files can be played otherwise it is just unsupported format you get or it plays back as audio only file without the video as already reported for this model. Mas compatible nga ata iyong SD166 ni Alfie. Fino naman iyong playback with dvds, vcds which i like. Kaparehas talaga sila ng source manufacture sa China ng mga generic players like Lexing, Miyata etc.
Ang mga pagkakaiba e cosmetic apperances, features but otherwise kita mong parehong pinagkunan ika nga. Mas fino in comparison iyong video output ng Xtreme. I also have a similar Miyata dvd player which has less features, lesser video pic quality but it has working DTS encoder and of course the price is much cheaper, the menus etc. are identical.
The SD-199 has no DTS but i am very happy with its video playback
quality. In terms of being able to play back all sorts of discs and formats,
it reminds me of the original Nextbase when it was the best dvd player tracker discussed in pinoyDVD. So far it has played all of my discs.
I think the replacement for the 6500a
which is the 009 should have DTS decoding. I am not sure as I have not personally tried out the model yet. I am thinking of getting one just for that.
Mabait pati iyong owner ng Xtreme. They not only gave me discounts but they practically made sure my purchases from them enjoy continued warranty. I already got back the unit I sent for repairs.
Really, I can not overstate how nice they are to me. I suppose they know I am a fan of their products. Naloko na, the more I am inclined to buy their brand sa susunod pa.
Many of the older divx files were reported as unsupported formats
or read only as audio files like other avi files. But it does playback
divx of latter versions. In my tests, I had more materials from wayback
so a lot more could not be played. Not only DVDs have no problem even
variable bit encoded SVCDs were all played smoothly. My superbit encoded self burned DVDs played too without any hitch. Also DVD-R, DVD-RW played without problem.
That seems to be the case. Yes, the SD-199 is their current top of the line with the memory card and usb slots feature. But if I remember correctly the prices for the other models are identical if not close to each other. I certainly would like to try the 009 next. Good Hunting!
hello everyone! i am curious about this xtreme dvd player. i saw one with hdmi output can anyone tell me f this is a good player?
