PT8051 Surround Sound System

Thank you for purchasing the Altec Lansing PT8051 Wireless Surround Sound System.

The PT8051 is designed to replace the traditional A/V receiver and separate speakers and provide a complete, multi-channel surround system sound from just two components using DTS and Dolby Digital decoding to faithfully reproduce your favorite music and movie soundtracks. The PT8051 system’s NXT Digital flat-panel driver technology accurately reproduces the full frequency range and delivers all the subtleties and spatial depth that today’s digital formats are capable of. In addition, the PT8051’s advanced wireless transmission means it’s easy to experience theater quality surround effects without the need to run wires to the rear speakers.

The PT8051’s design is well suited for use with today’s large format LCD and plasma flat panel displays and both components can be wall mounted with them using the supplied brackets. A universal remote control is included that allows you to consolidate remote controls from various devices such as your TV, DVD player and VCR.
