Projectavision's Solo-2 Makes a Shining Impression On Dealers Nationwide; New Enhancements To Front Projection Unit Raises Picture Quality.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 1998--SOLO-2(TM), Projectavision's newly enhanced front projection unit that delivers a true-to-life digital image, is receiving rave reviews from dealers across the country. The SOLO-2(TM) delivers high quality images from 4 inches to over 260 inches (diagonally) in size with superior picture quality and color imagery.

Recent picture quality enhancements to the unit, such as the addition of a Digital Comb Filter and Variable Digital Zoom, have made the SOLO-2(TM) a favorite front projection unit in dealer showrooms across the country, dealers say. "The picture looks phenomenal when hooked up to a standard computer system," said Todd Freeland, owner of Audio Video Lifestyles in Fort Wayne, Indiana. "The SOLO-2's amazing picture quality easily surpasses the competition. LCD projection is good, but the use of microchip technology produces brilliant images without distortion. No other projection unit in the same price range can deliver the same quality images from computer, television broadcast or an external video source."

The SOLO-2(TM) utilizes 2-chip Digital Light Processing(TM) technology from Texas Instruments, which produces distortion-free, vivid pictures without seeing the pixels so evident in other technology. The unit employs two DLP(TM) microchips that allow both video and computer-generated images to be reflected onto a screen while maintaining a full color spectrum.

"The first thing customers recognize is how bright the images are that SOLO-2 produces and how sharp and crisp they look. The depth of image is remarkable too," states Mike Dodson of Hillcrest High Fidelity Inc. located in Dallas, Texas. "The large minimum and maximum viewing distance feature gives the buyer the option to place the projector virtually anywhere in a room and still get a clear image without color loss or loss of image quality."

"The picture quality of the SOLO-2 is by far the equal of projectors costing $15,000 or more," states Bjorn Dybdahl, owner of Bjorn's Stereo Design in San Antonio, Texas. "The SOLO-2 is one of the most versatile projectors on the market. By comparison with the original Digital Home Theater(TM) unit, black levels are significantly better, the colors are more vivid and dot crawl is virtually non-existent. It's also very easy to use -- it's the equivalent of a point-and-shoot projector. Customers have also commented on how quiet the SOLO-2 is while viewing. It really has an effect on how much attention you give to what you are watching." The unit has been modified to eliminate two of the three original fans, thus decreasing noise output.

At 28.5 pounds, SOLO-2(TM) is portable and compact, ideal for many room settings, according to Projectavision. The unit boasts an auto lock to insure that HRC, IRC, and STD cable signals are secured and detected. Newly improved black levels prevent fade out of certain images, and result in crisp, defined pictures. The front projection unit contains a 2:1 zoom lens allowing great flexibility as well as a 100" image at a throw distance of 10'4" to 20'0" and flexible viewing from 4" up to and 260" focusing to infinity.

Projectavision is the manufacturer of the world's first 100% digital television and display product to combine a 60-inch rear projection television and a front projection theater system. Projectavision's Digital Theater Series II retails for $12,000, and SOLO-2(TM), the unit's front projector, is available separately for $10,000. SOLO-2(TM) comes only in ceiling white with an optional matching ceiling bracket.
