Description
The Boston DigitalTheater 6000 is an integrated home theater sound system. It accepts signals from 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 stream from either of two digital inputs or converts 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 difference.
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 receiver.
DigitalTheater 6000 utilizes MagnaGuard® magnetic shielding on all speakers to prevent television picture interference or accidental disk erasure. The pre-programmed universal remote control operates the DigitalTheater 6000, and hundreds of different models of TVs, VCRs and cable boxes.
DigitalTheater 6000 Subwoofer
The DigitalTheater 6000 Subwoofer provides dramatic bass impact. It uses our long-excur- sion 61⁄2-inch bass driver in a dual-chamber bandpass enclosure. This advanced design uses a sealed chamber for precise driver control 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 provided.
