TCL King Electronics Co., China's Third Largest Television Manufacturer, Features SRS 3D Sound in New Products 

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- SRS Labs, Inc., a leading provider of complete audio and voice technology solutions, announced today a licensing agreement with the third largest television set maker in mainland China, TCL King Electronics Co., Ltd. The first television product from TCL featuring SRS 3D Sound is model number 2911D, which began shipping in the domestic China market during the first quarter of 1999.

``TCL produced this television specifically for the Chinese New Year buying season,'' stated Mr. Fu Zhong Yang, vice president of Design House, TCL King Electronics. ``We implemented SRS 3D Sound to add a distinct differentiator and make the set more competitive. The market response has been very good and we're now working towards implementing the 3D Sound, and other SRS technologies, in our future products.''

The 2911D stereo color television couples SRS 3D Sound with 5-audio effect modes. In addition, the set boasts a super flat CRT, pull down menu, digital comb filter, flesh tone correction, and an I2C bus control system.

``We're very pleased to welcome the prestigious TCL King Electronics to our licensee base,'' said Tom Yuen, chairman and CEO of SRS Labs. ``China is a huge consumer market with a large appetite for electronics goods, such as televisions and cellular phones. While the recent economic situation in Asia greatly hampered the progress of our initial sales expectations, we believe that as that economy recovers, our existing foundation in Asia, as well as relationships with licensees and leading reference accounts such as TCL, will help us to achieve our objective for this region. We look forward to working with TCL in the future as they continue to expand their usage of our technologies.``

About SRS 3D Sound

SRS 3D Sound is the world's leading 3D audio enhancement technology. With as few as two stereo speakers, SRS broadens the stereo sound image and creates a powerful 3D sound experience from any mono or stereo signal. Developed after years of research on the psychoacoustics of sound and the dynamics of the human hearing system, SRS 3D Sound restores the audio realism that is masked by traditional recording and playback techniques. With SRS, the speakers are no longer the point source for sound. Instead, the music and sound seem to fill the room, immersing the listener.
