Dolby Digital Decoder

DigitalTheater 7000 uses a state-of-the-art Dolby Digital decoder. It 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 alphanumeric display, and the infra-red remote control receiver. The center speaker is a two way design with a 3

⁄2” (89mm) copolymer bass

unit and

⁄4” (19mm) dome tweeter.

DigitalTheater 7000 utilizes MagnaGuard

magnetic shielding on the subwoofer and front speakers to prevent television picture interference or accidental disk erasure. The pre-programmed universal remote control operates the DigitalTheater 7000, and hundreds of different models of TVs, VCRs and cable boxes.

DigitalTheater 7000 Subwoofer with BassTrac

The DigitalTheater 7000 Subwoofer provides dramatic bass impact. It uses our long-excursion 8-inch (200mm) bass driver in a bass reflex enclosure. The result is a subwoofer that delivers deep, clean bass from a compact enclosure. Because of it’s high-powered amplifier and computer-optimized tuning, it is capable of impressive deep bass and high output from it’s remarkably compact enclosure. In addition, this subwoofer features BassTrac

, a proprietary new Boston-designed circuit that tracks the input signal to the subwoofer and prevents its amplifier from being driven into audible distortion. The benefit: The bass stays clean and strong at any listening level.

DigitalTheater 7000 Satellites

The DigitalTheater 7000 system provides four satellite speakers for the left and right front and left and right surround channels. The left and right front speakers match the center design with a 3

⁄2” (89mm) copolymer

bass unit and

⁄4” (19mm) dome tweeter. 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.

Description

The Boston DigitalTheater 7000 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 Hi-Fi VCR, and a monitor or TV for a complete home theater system. The DigitalTheater 7000 delivers wide-range, high-fidelity sound from a package that is easy to install and a pleasure to use.
