DS-2 FEATURES

•The DS-2 features all five main and surround speakers optimized to deliver the greatest possible performance from any integrated home theater system: The RT800i Main Speakers, the CS400i Center Channel Speakers and a pair of f/x500i Surround Speakers. Heavy duty bottom end is delivered by the specially built Powered Subwoofer.

•The DS-2 is a fully integrated and performance optimized system.

That means all the parts were designed together for a single purpose: all-in-one home theater.

•Got a big room to fill? No worries. The DS-2 has a high power 6 channel power amplifier built right into the subwoofer enclosure. This is an honest-to-goodness, beefy high-end power amp with all the features that send audiophiles into rapture: high current, discrete circuits, dynamic headroom... But forget the jargon, this system plays loud and clean without strain even in the largest rooms.

•The DS-2 preamp/processor also includes one of the world’s most sophisticated digital surround sound processors, which hooks up to the power amplifiers with a single convenient cable.

•Plug’n’Play – the preamp/processor is pre-configured for the speakers to bring you high performance right out of their boxes, without the need for complicated set-up procedures.

•The perfectly matched front, rear, and center speakers ensure seamless blending and lifelike surround sound effects. You’ll feel like you are part of the action rather than a distant observer.

•Home theater is a group experience. The speakers in the DS-2 system were designed to deliver broad, even dispersion of full-response sound throughout the room. Everyone hears clean, clear dialog, music and sound effects.

•Some CDs have too much bass, some have too little. The same is true for movies. Most people like to adjust bass volume from CD to CD, movie to movie. We put the subwoofer volume control on the remote to make it easy for you to get the right amount of bass without leaving your chair.

•Half of the world is looking for the meaning of life. The other half is looking for better bass. (This is as good as humor gets in the audio business.) If you are part of the latter group, we’ve got the subwoofer for you. The DS-2 subwoofer uses our patented Power Port bass venting system to deliver deep, powerful bass with low distortion. Your friends will be green with envy.

•Most folks like more bass on movies than music. With the DS-2, once you have set subwoofer level for each surround mode, the system remembers and returns to that setting. We call this feature subwoofer/surround memory. If you are watching a DVD and you select a bass level of -7, then switch to a CD in stereo and change the bass setting to -10, the system will return to a bass setting of -7 when you go back to the surround mode. We love this feature. We think you will too.

•Simple, intuitive operation. Everyone in the house, from kids to grandparents, can enjoy ultra high-performance home theater entertainment without reading this dopey manual.

•You have lots of potential entertainment sources. The DS-2 preamp/processor has enough analog and digital audio inputs to

hook up any source – DVD, Laserdisc, VCR, DSS, Tape, CD, Camcorder, and Cable TV.

•The DS-2 preamp/processor has three digital inputs, including an RF input, for laserdisc players with an AC-3 RF output, plus two other digital inputs for a DVD player and the latest Dolby Digital capable satellite TV (DSS) receivers.

•The DS-2 comes with audiophile-grade cables (in some cases

fitted with gold plated connectors) for hooking up all the parts of the DS-2 system.

•Is picture quality as important to you as the quality of sound? You’re going to appreciate that the DS-2 preamp/processor offers S-video inputs and outputs in addition to standard composite video. S Video cables provide better picture detail than conventional video cables.

•Would you like music in another room? No problem. The DS-2 has independent multi-room stereo pre-amp outputs that allow you to hear one source in a remote room while a different source is playing in the main room, at different volume levels. (Requires optional external stereo integrated amplifier and speakers for the second zone.)
