D e s c r i p t i o n
The Boston DigitalTheater 6000 is an integrated home theater sound system. It accepts signals
f rom digital or analog sources, decodes them to produce surround sound for up to six channels
and provides the amplifiers and speakers for those six channels. The power section uses separate
actively-equalized amplifiers for each of the speakers, including the subwoofer. All that is needed
is a DVD player, digital DSS satellite TV feed, or HiFi VCR, and a monitor or TV for a complete
home theater system. The DigitalTheater 6000 delivers wide-range, high-fidelity sound from a
package that is easy to install and a pleasure to use.
Dolby Digital Decoder
DigitalTheater 6000 uses a state-of-the-art
Dolby Digital decoder. Its accepts a digital data
s t ream from either of two digital inputs or
c o n v e rts either of two stereo analog inputs to
digital format. The digital data can be either
encoded Dolby Digital or linear PCM data. The
decoder automatically detects the diff e rence.
Center Channel Unit
This integrated unit goes on top of the TV and
houses the center speaker, an LED display, and
the infra-red remote control re c e i v e r.
DigitalTheater 6000 utilizes MagnaGuard
®
magnetic shielding on all speakers to pre v e n t
television picture interf e rence or accidental
disk erasure. The pre - p rogrammed universal
remote control operates the DigitalTheater
6000, and hundreds of diff e rent models of TVs,
VCRs and cable boxes.
DigitalTheater 6000 Subwoofer
The DigitalTheater 6000 Subwoofer pro v i d e s
dramatic bass impact. It uses our long-excursion 61⁄2-inch bass driver in a dual-chamber
bandpass enclosure. This advanced design
uses a sealed chamber for precise driver cont rol and low distortion, and a vented chamber
to concentrate the output in the low bass
region. The result is a subwoofer that delivers
deep, clean bass from a compact enclosure.
DigitalTheater 6000 Satellites
The DigitalTheater 6000 system provides four
satellite speakers for the left and right front and
left and right rear channels. These speakers can
be mounted on the wall, using the supplied
wall-mounting brackets. Alternatively they can
be placed on a bookshelf or table-top using
the rubber feet pro v i d e d .
