ASPIRE DIGITAL'S NEW RECEIVERLESS HOME THEATER SURROUND-SOUND TOWER SPEAKER SYSTEM AVAILABLE AT SPECIAL CES SHOW PRICE

Torrance, CA....Aspire Digital will make its new receiverless home theater surround-sound speaker system available at this week's International 2003 CES for a special show price of $199.98. The special pricing represents a 50% discount off the MSRP for the components when purchased separately.

The system is a perfect step for consumers who do not already have a receiver connected to their television and want high-quality audio playback with a minimum financial commitment.

The show special system combines the AD-140W tower speaker set and the AD-225PSC powered 5.1 subwoofer from Aspire Digital's new line of speakers being launched at CES. The AD-140W tower speaker set includes floor-standing front and rear tower speakers and a center speaker totaling 140 real watts (total 8 ohms 250Hz - 20kHz, 87dB). The AD-225PSC 5.1 subwoofer powers the entire speaker system and provides audio output directly from a DVD player.

“Quiet on the Home Front” – Home Theater trend expands as Consumer “Burrowing” Causes Bump

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Steve Dubin, PR Works, (781) 878-9533, sdubin@prworkzone.com

“Quiet on the Home Front” – Home Theater trend expands as Consumer “Burrowing” Causes Bump in Business for Home Systems Design

DATELINE: NORWELL, PEMBROKE, NANTUCKET, MA, DECEMBER 17, 2001… All is quiet on the home front as Americans opt to spend more time in the comfort of their home rather than going “out on the town”. With almost 90% of people driving to their destinations in addition to a reduced inclination to dine out or even see a show, Americans are seeking familiarity and “burrowing” in.

In short, the aftermath of September 11th has caused folks to reevaluate their values, pay more attention to loved ones and ultimately, stay home.

Business Break-Out
Home Systems Design Associates, Inc., headquartered in Norwell, MA, has seen a significant bump in business owing to this “burrowing” phenomenon—they’ve been contracted to develop, engineer and install a number of home theaters in recent weeks, showing a 27% increase over last year at this time. With Home Systems’ customized home theaters beginning around $25,000 —“burrowing” becomes validated.

Appreciating Home Theater
Home theaters take away the aspects of crowds, harsh lights or noise. Plush, ergonomic seating in theater–style arrangement accompanies the flat panel, oversized digital screen and surround sound.

And, at a one-touch command on a wireless panel, you can dim the lights, draw the drapes and lower the screen and projector from the ceiling. A well-designed room can exceed the performance of even the best public movie theaters, without the hassle of parking.

Folks with home theaters have the capability to invite the entire family to view a movie or invite clients to attend a private presentation. Additionally, home theater enables people to conduct video and teleconferencing from just a few steps away from the home office.

“Our home theaters are designed to entertain, facilitate, comfort and endure. They give a client simplicity, convenience and capability. It’s almost impossible to compare a home theater to a public movie theater because they’re just very different. A home theater gives you total control—from lighting to climate to seating, as well as, better quality of sound and video. People can even connect to the outside world by teleconferencing through their home theater,” noted Dennis MacLeod, president of Home Systems Design Associates, Inc. He continued, “Everything is literally at your fingertips.”

The Future is Here
Home Systems Design caters to clients with existing homes through their Retrofit Division. Home Systems Design’s Retrofit Division team of experienced professionals will design, engineer and install integrated state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting, communications, security and control equipment into existing construction. Site inspections are required prior to retrofit proposal.

Designing “Dream Homes”
Home Systems Design Associates, Inc. designs, engineers and installs electronic systems for homes throughout the U.S. Home Systems Design’s team of experienced professionals integrate state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting, communications and control equipment, including upscale home theaters, hi-quality multi-room audio/video systems, lighting and climate control and communications to future proof wiring solutions and security into both new and existing construction.

Home Systems Design team are licensed contractors and responsible for all aspects of a project, from initial design through installation, maintenance, service and training.

Excerpts From Stunning 3D Movie SOS Planet Presented at CES SENSIO SHOWCASED SPECTACULAR 3D MOVIES WITH ITS INNOVATIVE SENSIO 3D HOME THEATRE SOLUTION

Las Vegas, January 16, 2003 - 2003 Innovations Award Honoree SENSIO introduced its patent-pending SENSIO 3D video processor at CES by showing clips from four extraordinary 3D movies at their booth, including the IMAX 3D movie SOS Planet, soon to be released in North America. Hosted by award-winning journalist Walter Cronkite and directed by Ben Stassen, the film is produced by nWave Pictures, with the support of the World Wildlife Fund, and will be distributed on DVD by SlingShot Entertainment.

SENSIO has also presented an excerpt from Journey of Man, a visual and musical celebration of life featuring unique performers of Cirque du Soleil, a 3D film produced by Peter Wagg for Sony Pictures Classics. The last two clips were from Ultimate G’s, an aerial adventure directed by Carl Samson, which takes place over the spectacular backdrop of the Grand Canyon, also released on Imax screens, and Transitions, the very first IMAX 3D movie originally shown during the 1986 Vancouver world fair.

A new era for 3D movies
“SENSIO has not only launched the most innovative 3D home theatre technology at CES but we are making sure that retailers and consumers will have access to the best 3D movies from a library of approximately 150 existing titles on film,” said Nicholas Routhier, President of SENSIO. “They will include some of the sixty classic 3D movies made in the 50’s such as Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder and House of Wax starring Vincent Price as well as some of the more recent 80’s movies such as Jaws 3D and Friday the 13th 3D.”

“The quality of 3D of these movies was very good, but sadly, the projection technologies used in theaters at the time did not do them justice. With SENSIO 3D technology, we can finally screen them as they were meant to be—enjoying quality on par with today’s best theme park and movie theater experiences, in the comfort of our homes.”

“The library will also include 3D movies originally presented in IMAX Theaters. We continue to build relationships with major Studios and independent distributors and producers such as Sony Pictures Classics, SlingShot Entertainment, MGM United Artists Home Video, The Stephen Low Company and IMAX Corporation in order to reach our goal.

Ten new IMAX 3D films are actually in production worldwide including Ghost of the Abyss, a movie by Academy-Award Director James Cameron (Titanic). We also began offering our SENSIO 3D formatting service in conjunction with Technicolor through their Canadian subsidiary Covitec”.

SENSIO 3D: A high-end plug-and-play product for consumers
The SENSIO 3D processor is the only 3D product designed specifically for home theatres and compatible with conventional DVD players as well as CRT, LCD, DLP and D-ILA projectors. The user-friendly, easy-to-install system also requires wireless glasses and offers unparalleled screening comfort. SENSIO 3D is the only MPEG-2 compliant stereoscopic format allowing full-screen, DVD resolution and full color 3D pictures compatible with future distribution channels such as pay per view, video on demand, DTV and HDTV broadcast.

A North American Launch
Launched at CES, the SENSIO 3D processor is now ready for orders. Audio Plus Services is distributing the product in the retail market in North America, targeting mid to high-end home theatre systems owners. SENSIO is therefore benefiting from an established network of selected audio and video retailers in more than 80 markets in the U.S. and Canada. The processor will be delivered to retailers with two pair of wireless glasses, one DVD demo and a 3D movie. Customers will be able to order 3D movies on DVD online. Customers will also receive a free newsletter with news and information about new 3D releases.

“We are also looking at licensing opportunities and strategic alliances for the development and co-marketing of complementary technologies, explains Richard LaBerge, VP Sales & Marketing. Our focus is to enable home theatre systems with our proprietary technologies and to continue to develop cutting-edge software and hardware tools for the consumers and the creative community at large.”

About SENSIO
www.sensio.tv
Founded in 1999 and privately held, SENSIO brings the home movie experience to its next level by developing and marketing avant-garde technologies that offer the most advanced and immersive movie theater experience to home viewers. The first product derived from SENSIO’s research and development effort is SENSIOTM 3D, a revolutionary video processor transforming the conventional home theater into a 3D stereoscopic movie experience.

Previously serving clients at the blueprint stage of new construction, Home Systems Design will be able to better cater to clients with existing homes through their new Retrofit Division. Home Systems Design’s Retrofit Division team of experienced professionals will integrate state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting, communications and control equipment into existing construction. Site inspections are required prior to retrofit proposal.

Expanded Market
“The Retrofit market is one that has grown considerably. Many of our clients that are in the process of building (and integrating systems) in a new home have approached us about retrofitting. They want to know if we can integrate their electronic systems at their existing vacation homes or other residences,” noted Dennis MacLeod, Systems Consultant at Home Systems Design Associates, Inc. “Or, we may have a client that wishes to integrate their alarm, audio, lighting, climate and communications systems in an antique home. Although it is easier to lay the ‘groundwork’ of an integrated electronic system with the architects and builders during the construction process, it’s simply not always possible. This is why we’ve developed the new Retrofit Division to cater to existing homes.”

Designing “Dream Homes”
Home Systems Design Associates, Inc. designs, engineers and installs electronic systems for homes throughout the U.S. Home Systems Design’s team of experienced professionals integrate state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting, communications and control equipment, including upscale home theaters, hi-quality multi-room audio/video systems, lighting and climate control and communications to future proof wiring solutions and security into both new and existing construction.

New Home-Based, Home Theater Company With A Vision (And Heart) For The General Public, And The Youth.

Although it might not seem quite so obvious when viewing the Visual-Cue website at http://www.visual-cue.com, the company is entirely owned & operated as a home-based-business; located in Riverview, FL, just 20 miles or so southeast of Tampa FL. And on top of that, a single individual wears all the company hats.

"It's comical at times to hear vendors' reactions when they find out they're speaking with not only the owner, but the webmaster, accountant, buyer, purchaser, publicist, etc.,", laughs Michael McCormick, the visionary behind Visual-Cue.

Visual-Cue is a Home Theater electronics reseller, providing such product as DVD Players, Loudspeakers, Plasma Tvs, and "practical" Home Theater guides and a recent free downloadable ebook on connecting a basic system.

Michael started Visual-Cue just over a year ago; leaving a 17 year-long applications computer programming career. He became disillusioned with Corporate America, and decided to pursue something more worthwhile.

"The money and challenge was and is great in programming, but the "politics" are a real drag, and you don't really feel as though you're making a contribution into anyone's life, except maybe the shareholders."

So Michael decided to pursue the American Dream of owning his own business, while at the same time, addressing a deeper calling he's always had.

"I've ALWAYS had a heart for the youth; as long as I can remember. I used to be a member of Big Brothers & Sisters as well, many years ago. I've also ALWAYS had an active interest in Home Audio and Video, for the past 20 years or so. So I thought I'd take a step...a leap of faith and see if I could have my cake and eat it too!"

During the week, Michael concentrates on how and where to market Visual-Cue, with the funds from his own savings. On the weekends, he's able to concentrate on the 3rd-5th grade boys and girls he encourages/instructs, as a volunteer "Large Group" and "Small Group" Leader at Baylife Church in Brandon Florida. "If I could make a living just by encouraging/interacting with the kids, that would be ideal! But I haven't figured out how to work that one yet" laughs Michael.

"I've learned a LOT in the last year. The internet is HUGE, and not having the same venture capital as the major electronics franchises definitely limits your options and creativity. But because I'm home-based, I'm able to provide some of the same quality-brand product at substantial savings, since I have very low overhead, and can pass the savings on to the customer. I'm not trying to get rich, just make a living."

So if you need a more personalized Home Theater advisor, someone to provide "practical", not-commission-driven information before or after you make a purchase, you might want to check out Visual-Cue.

And in the process, you'll be contributing to the lives of some well-deserving youth as well.

NORCENT TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCES HOME THEATER SYSTEMS Competitively Priced Systems Include DVD Player; Two Main, One Center, and Two Surround Speakers;

San Dimas, CA — Norcent Technology, Inc., a marketer of high-quality, competitively priced home entertainment, computer, and memory products, has introduced its newest home theater systems. Each of the three stylish sets features a one-disc DVD player; and two main, a center, and two surround speakers, plus a subwoofer. To complement the systems, Norcent offers a comprehensive line of television sets. The company is affiliated with Shanghai Hongsheng Technology Company, Ltd., one of China’s top IT and communications companies.

“We are very excited about offering these systems to American consumers,” said Jeannie Vogler, Vice President of Sales Consumer Electronics for Norcent Technology, Inc. “They bring exciting technology, superb quality, and very contemporary styling into the home at extremely affordable prices. Including a DVD player in the system provides a tremendous value to anyone who has been wanting to enjoy the realism of home theater entertainment, but has found themselves priced out of the market. Plus, our comprehensive line of television sets allows the consumer to purchase a perfectly matched product to create a complete home theater experience.”

The three home theater systems (DP-1500A, DP-1500B, and DP-1500C) afford plug-and-play convenience as well as balanced-power output. MSRP for the three systems starts at $179.00, which reflects a nearly 50% savings compared to similar products of many leading brands.

According to Vogler, each system’s DVD player has built-in Dolby® digital surround/DTS surround sound and is fully compatible with DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 discs. Each unit, she said, also features: Eight-step fast or slow motion with nine viewing functions; memory play and A-B play functions; magnified and mobile picture capability; support for eight different language soundtracks and 32 language captions; multi-angle and multi-story selection play; parental lock device; and super-clear horizontal resolution of more than 500 lines. A full-function remote control is included.

Besides cosmetic distinctions, the systems are primarily differentiated by their wattage. The DP-1500A offers 15-watts in each of its five channels and has a 30-watt subwoofer. The DP-1500B offers 45-watts in each of its five channels and has a 90-watt subwoofer. The DP-1500C offers 20-watts in each of its five channels and has an 80-watt subwoofer. Additionally, the DP-1500C incorporates an AM/FM-stereo tuner in its amplifier.


To complement the systems, Norcent offers 20”, 24”, 27”, 30”, 32”, 43”, 50”, and 55” television sets. Vogler said, depending on model, sets include such features as HD compatibility (480i/480p/720p/1080i), 16:9 aspect ratio, 3D comb filter, progressive scanning, and dynamic focus scan velocity modulation, as well as being CATV ready.

Optoma Launches the World's First Dedicated Digital Light Processing™ Home Theater Projector for Under $1400 -Wins CES Innovations Award for Second Ye

Milpitas, CA and Las Vegas, Nevada December 16, 2003--Once again discrediting the perception that a quality, dedicated DLP™ home theater projector will always be defined by high cost, Optoma Technology, Inc. will hard-launch the world's first dedicated DLP™ home theater projector for under $1400 at the 2004 International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada. Beginning Thursday, January 8 the Optoma H30™ home theater projector, which is a winner of the CES Innovations 2004 Video Design and Engineering Award, will be one of the top attractions at Optoma's home theater exhibit. Optoma is an award-winning developer of projection and digital display products for business and home.

The H30 combines Double Data Rate DLP™ technology by Texas Instruments with a four-speed, six-segment color wheel for unsurpassed brightness, true colors and absolute black levels, and the advanced scaling and deinterlacing technologies of Pixelworks. This combination of technologies results in stunning image reproduction and smooth onscreen motion. It also provides excellent SVGA (800 x 600) resolution, an incredibly detailed 2000:1 contrast ratio, and a bright 800 lumens. The H30 also offers a range of aspect ratios to accommodate source materials and screen sizes ranging from native 4:3 to widescreen (16:9). Dedicated DLP™ home theater projectors with similar features retail for nearly twice as much while comparatively priced business projectors are not designed for dedicated home theater usage.

"The H30 is the perfect solution for home theater dealers and end-users who want the advantages of a dedicated DLP™ home theater projector but may find mid-range to high-end products to be cost prohibitive," explained Ken Tompkins, director of product development for Optoma. "Because this is the first dedicated DLP™ home theater projector to be priced at under $1400, dealers now have more price options for their customers, meaning a vast number of end-users can finally afford to experience a true DLP™-based home theater projector."

The low price of the H30 defies its impressive performance and rich feature-set. The projector accommodates screen sizes ranging from 29 to 260 inches (0.7 to 6.6 meters), has a projection distance of 4.1 to 32.8 feet (1.25 to 10 meters), a wide-range throw ratio of 1.75:1 to 2.12:1, and provides keystone correction, in addition to manual zoom and focus for better image control. Similar to high-priced home theater projectors, the H30 also offers an economy mode to prolong lamp life and reduce noise levels.

Ideal for just about any home theater room size or configuration, the H30 is a lightweight 4.6-pounds for easy stationary mounting or unobtrusive placement upon a projector stand or table. And, despite its low weight and compact design, the H30 is exceptionally quiet at 32 dB (30 dB in economy mode). It comes equipped with a 180-watt 2000-hour lamp (3000 hours in economy mode), a convenient remote control, and is compatible with virtually every digital and analog source. It also provides high-demand inputs and outputs including a VGA input (analog RGB/component/HDTV), S-Video, and a composite video (RCA) / VGA output.

Along with its award-winning home theater counterparts the Optoma H56™ and the Optoma H76™, the H30 completes Optoma's suite of dedicated home theater projectors and makes DLP™ technology truly attainable. The H30 is the world's first dedicated DLP™ home theater projector of its class to be priced under $1400. The MSRP for the Optoma H30 is $1399.

Optoma Technology is also exhibiting its entire award-winning line of DLP™-based digital projectors and high definition televisions - which won the 2003 CES Innovations Award.


--Optoma's Plasma and LCD Display Products--

Additionally, Optoma will exhibit the following new plasma and TFT LCD display products including:

·OptomaTV 50-inch Plasma Television (model PD50PX05) - provides a 50-inch diagonal screen, a resolution of up to 1600 x 1200 (UXGA), a 3500:1 contrast ratio, high brightness, and a non-reflective screen coating to contend with even the most problematic lighting conditions. It also comes equipped with a TV tuner capable of receiving 181 channels, all of the most sought after inputs, PIP/POP/Split Screen, closed captioning, parental controls, and multiple language options. Additionally, it is HDTV, PAL, SECAM, and NTSC compatible.
·Optoma's Panoview PI-500™ Interactive LCD Display - This flat panel tablet-and-pen display provides active matrix TFT LCD technology with a pen input, 1024 x 768 (XGA) resolution, a 15-inch diagonal screen, convenient front panel controls, and multilingual OSD user controls. It also includes a power on recall function, VESA DPMS power saver, integrated audio functionality, an adjustable stand, and a Kensington security lock port.

·Optoma's Panoview PV770W™ Widescreen LCD Display - This flat panel widescreen XGA display provides active matrix TFT LCD technology, a resolution of 1280 x 768 (XGA), a 600:1 contrast ratio, a 17-inch diagonal screen, analog and digital signal inputs, and multifunctional OSD user controls. It also includes a power on recall function, VESA DPMS power saver, integrated audio functionality, and a Kensington security lock port.

The company will also introduce its new line of touch screen and rack mount flat panel LCD displays.

Optoma will be at the 2004 International CES at Booth 16819 in South Hall 1 from January 8 through January 11, 2004.
