SAMSUNG Takes Home Theater-In-a-Box To a Sleek And Sexy New Level

New 100 Series HTiBs Offer Superb Audio, Elegant Design

Ridgefield Park, N.J. - Samsung, an award winning leader in home theater innovation, introduces the 100-series Home Theater-in-a-Box (HTiB) systems. These hearty HTiBs match impressive performance with gorgeous aesthetics and coveted features, such as a high-power subwoofer, multimedia playback, and two exquisite color choices: pearl white or piano black. Samsung gives those who love their new HDTVs an immersive sound experience to accompany the excellent picture.

Samsung’s newest HTiB systems incorporate an integrated DVD player/receiver and powerful subwoofer-based surround sound system to transform any living or family room into a fully-functioning digital multimedia entertainment center. The progressive scan DVD player supports multimedia files, including DivX, MP3, DVD Audio, WMA, CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW. Users can also enjoy the HTiB’s JPEG playback capabilities, allowing them to share photos burned to CD from digital cameras in their living rooms instead of having to huddle around a monitor. Music aficionados will enjoy the USB host Plug & Play capability, which allows MP3 players to be attached to the system so stored music files can be enjoyed by all in the room.

“Samsung’s award-winning designers certainly married both form and function with the new 100 Series HTiB systems,” said Bill Hadam, Director, Digital Audio and Video, Samsung Electronics America. “The 100 Series offers not only superb sound and industry-leading features but a gorgeous new design that perfectly complements Samsung’s eye-catching flat-panel televisions.”
