CEDIA 2001

VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2001

Having been in business for 45 years, Auton Motorized Systems is the world's first manufacturer of television lifts, and to this day remains the largest manufacturer of its kind.

If you're looking for the latest and greatest in home theaters, then you won't want to miss Auton's booth (No. 218) at the CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) International Trade Show, Wednesday, Sept. 6 through Sunday, Sept. 10 in Indianapolis.

On display this year at CEDIA, Auton plans to showcase its Ceiling Monitor Lift and Plasma Lift systems -- two alternatives for home theater viewing. First, its Ceiling Monitor Lift demonstrates how, at the touch of a button, the television can be brought down to any level for easy viewing, then be conveniently stored in the ceiling when not in use. The same unit can be used to house a projector, as many standard sizes and load capacities are available. This lift has the option of a swivel for easy viewing, and like all of Auton's lifts, custom orders are gladly accepted.

The real show-stopper is the Plasma Lift, representing yet another first from Auton. Specially designed for the plasma screen televisions that have recently hit the consumer market, the Plasma Lift is ideal for use practically anywhere, even aboard that 150-foot yacht! Featuring the same rack and pinion design and welded steel construction Auton's lifts are known for, there are no breakable plastic or aluminum parts or pop rivets that can loosen or come out over time. With the Plasma Lift, you can conceal and reveal your thin screen television in a cabinet of your choosing with the touch of a button. No special wiring is required for any of Auton's lifts; they operate from a 120VAC/60HZ outlet and are shipped completely assembled for easy installation. Features include a manual override switch in case of a lost or damaged remote; adjustable limit switches to control the stopping point of the lift; an electronic box that can be mounted in or away from the unit; and gear guards to prevent objects or wiring from getting caught between the gears and tracks.

The Plasma lift is available in two styles: ceiling pop-down and the up-and-down lift. The ceiling pop-down is strictly a custom item, while the up-and-down model's standard dimensions are 46"W x 32"H x 9"D, though custom sizes are available.

Since its inception in 1955, Auton has been providing motorized lift systems for architects, designers, and fine furniture makers, opening up a whole new array of design options! Auton lift systems are installed throughout the world in fine homes, offices, hotels, yachts and aircraft, just to name a few examples. Unlike the old fashioned "scissor-type" lifts, Auton's specially designed lifts eliminate wobble and can easily lift uneven loads. To assure the quality of our systems, all of Auton's lifts are made in the U.S.A. and are backed by a one-year warranty. Be sure to stop and visit Auton's booth (No. 218); we'd be glad to discuss your motorized needs and offer the creative solutions you're looking for.
