Pixa 'Easy Theater 7.1' DVD Home Theater System

Pixa DVW-200 Easy Theater 7.1 -- a new multipurpose DVD home theater system from Pixa, Inc., -- sports a high-performance DVD receiver with a built-in AM/FM tuner, a 7.1 speaker kit with wireless rear speakers that support multiple audio devices, and eliminates the need to buy separate speakers for your PC, CD or MP3 player.

The speaker package includes a 5.1-channel, 200-watt Dolby Digital/dts surround sound system consisting of four wired speakers and a subwoofer, plus two 2.4 GHz wireless rear speakers integrated into a single cabinet for easy room placement. Each wireless speaker is positioned at a 45-degree angle in the cabinet and utilizes Dynamic Refraction Surround Sound (DRSS) technology enabling audio to bounce off the wall and back to the listener for a surround sound effect.

In addition to bringing surround sound to DVD movies, the wireless speakers can be used as a digital boom box that can move from sound source to sound source and room to room without disconnecting and reconnecting cables. The wireless speakers can:

• Deliver CD, AM/FM or burned MP3 audio from the system’s DVD receiver;
  
• Broadcast music from a CD or MP3 player via a wireless transmitter included with the package that plugs into the DVD player’s 3.5mm stereo jack;
  
• Transmit stored music or Internet radio from a PC via a USB-based wireless transmitter that can be purchased separately; or
  
• Beam music into the backyard, basement, garage or any room in the house.
  

The same transmitters can also send DVD, CD, MP3 or PC-based audio to wireless headphones that are available as an add-on accessory.

The DVW-200 supports DVD, VCD, DVCD, MP3, JPEG and picture CD-RW files, progressive scan DVD playback for super-sharp picture quality, and multi-view angle and multi-language/multi-subtitle for DVDs. The built-in AM/FM tuner is capable of saving up to 20 stations.

The system comes with a remote control and standard component Y/Cr/CB, S-Video and composite video connectors for hooking up to the television.

The Pixa DVW-200 Easy Theater 7.1 is available online from Pixa for $299, including a DVD receiver and 7.1 speaker kit with wireless rear speakers. The same system is available in a 5.1 configuration with 3.1 front wired speakers and 2.0 rear wireless speakers for $249. Options include $39.99 wireless headphones for private listening and a $39.99 USB transmitter for connecting the wireless speakers to a PC.
