Parasound Introduces XTRAXÆ In New Line Of DVD Players

XTRAX Plays Favorite Tracks In DVD Players

28-Mar-01

At the 2001 Consumer Electronics Show, Parasound Products, an internationally recognized and highly regarded manufacturer of audiophile-grade home entertainment components, introduced the industryís first XTRAXÆ-equipped DVD players. ""XTRAX is very clever and weíre very pleased to be the first to have it on all of our DVD players,"" said Richard Schram, President of Parasound Products. ""The big benefit is itís one less thing you need to know how to program. People hate having to learn how to program electronics for any function. Using a sticker and a pen to delete tracks is a powerful concept."" The XTRAX system consists of two components (only one of which is actually visible to the consumer): a small disc label and a tiny sensor deep within the player. These two components permit users to program their intentions directly on their discs. The user simply makes a mark on the label to eliminate a track from play and, optionally selects other preferences. While Furthermore, since the disc itself now contains the userís personal preference information: it may be inserted into any other XTRAX-equipped player, such as a mobile unit and still play only the userís favorites, again without programming. The XTRAX system is a significant advance over competing systems which lock tediously-created preference programs into a given playerís memory. Additionally, XTRAX can offer manufacturers the ability to automate DVD menu selection, such as audio format, language selection, and favorite tracks. ""Xtrax Labs is very excited that Parasound, with itís history for producing high quality audio products, has added the XTRAX technology to their new premier quality DVD players"", said Janice Raczynski, President of Xtrax Labs. ""By incorporating XTRAX into these new products, Parasound is enabling consumers to customize their entire library of discs easily. It is a sound vote for their customers"". Developed by Xtrax Labs, XTRAX is a patented disc and disc player preference system which is intuitive to use with no buttons to push and no displays to distract the user. When applied to a disc and played on any XTRAX-enabled player the consumer experiences uninterrupted enjoyment of all their favorites tracks. XTRAX easily plays the consumerís preferences without the hassle of remembering how to program buttons. For further information on XTRAX, visit www.xtraxlabs.com.
