Alpine's Mobile Theater Utilizes DVD and Dolby Digital Sound Processing For the Ultimate Home Theater Experience in a Vehicle

This DVD, 5.1-channel car audio system is specifically designed to play conventional audio compact discs, CD video discs and DVDs. The audio system supports Dolby Digital 5.1 channel playback, Dolby Pro-Logic and enhanced stereo modes. In addition to Alpine's navigation and Mobile Mayday systems, the mobile entertainment system includes a complete multi-channel audio/video system, DVD player, DDDrive component speakers, subwoofer and wide screen, color LCD monitors.

``We're spending as much time in our cars as we are our homes, so it's only natural that we extend the comforts of home to the car,'' said Stephen Witt, Alpine's vice president of Brand Marketing. ``With the Alpine mobile theater system, we're taking home theater quality audio and video inside the vehicle. On-the-road entertainment will be taken to a whole new level.''

Dolby Digital offers a dramatic step forward in listener involvement and excitement, especially in the automotive environment. The technology provides up to six channels of all-digital surround sound. There are three full-range channels (left, center, right) for the front, plus separate, full-range left and right surround channels (LS, RS), as well as a low frequency effects channel (LSE) for the subwoofer.

Witt adds, ``Consumers are getting more comfortable with audio and video technology and the DVD format, so taking this from the home into the car is a natural extension of personal entertainment. The way and manner in which consumers drive is changing dramatically. The vehicle is no longer a means to get from point A to point B, but rather a tool for information, entertainment and security. Alpine is intent on delivering easy to operate products engineered for the mobile environment.''

The mobile theater system is supported by Alpine's new M-DAC technology. Developed with Burr Brown, the leading architect of DAC technology, M-DAC has 96kHZ and 24-bit capability necessary to playback DVD video and audio, as well as future Mobile Multimedia products. With the M-DAC engineering platform, Alpine is establishing the most advanced digital-to-analog processing available in the mobile environment.

The Alpine mobile theater system is currently available around the country through authorized Alpine dealers.
