Aspire Digital debuts the AD-1100PLUS, the first value-priced complete receiverless home theater system, which includes the new AD-1100 DVD player with progressive scan and added karaoke feature, robust surround-sound tower speakers and a powered sub-woofer.

At a special launch price of $399.99 (MSRP $459.98), the AD-1100PLUS is a complete home theater solution for value-minded consumers who do not already have a receiver or DVD player connected to their television and want high-quality audio playback with a minimum financial commitment.

The AD-1100 player delivers superior-quality playback from a multitude of media, including DVD, CD, CD-R/RW, CD+G, JPEG and MP3. Progressive Scan, Dolby 5.1 audio output, Dolby Digital AC-3 decoder and DTS digital audio output combine to provide expansive sound and crisp images.

The unit includes 4:3/16:9 display conversion, as well as parental lock settings. The AD-1100 includes both NTSC and PAL formats for worldwide compatibility. Optical and coaxial outputs are provided for higher speed digital processing.

The addition of a karaoke feature and two microphones is an enhancement that will provide hours of fun for family and friends. A specially formatted CD+G disc is included to provide consumers both an introduction to Karaoke and a start to their song collection.

The player's sleek design, brushed-aluminum finish, bright display and compact footprint make it an attractive addition to any décor. The system is designed to be very simple to set up and easy to use.

Robust Tower Speaker Surround System Operates Without Receiver...
The AD-100TR tower speaker set includes floor-standing front and rear tower speakers and a center speaker totaling 650 real watts (impedance 8 ohms, speaker frequency response 250Hz - 20kHz, subwoofer frequency response 20Hz - 250 Hz). The AD-150PSC subwoofer powers the entire speaker system and provides 5.1 Dolby digital audio output directly from the AD-1100 DVD player. Remote controls and speaker cables are included.

Together, the AD-100TR speaker set and the AD-150PSC powered subwoofer provide audio quality that rivals systems costing much more.
