Onkyo's Digital Theater Station Delivers 5.1 Channel Surround Sound For Home Theatre, Games, and PCs

4-Jun-01

Onkyo has introduce a complete multi-purpose surround sound system that can be used with video game consoles, personal computers, DVD players, cable and satellite receivers, hi-fi videocassette recorders, or any other digital audio or analog stereo source. Used with the family TV, it makes an affordable home theatre system with great sound. Coupled with a personal computer or game system, it adds a whole new dimension to gaming and PC music. The Onkyo GXW-5.1 FX-Digital Theater Station consists of five satellite speakers, a remote control, and a FX-Digital Theater ìmain unitî which contains all the processor circuits, power amplifiers, and a subwoofer. With built-in processing for DolbyÆ Digital, DTSÆ, and the new Dolby Pro Logic II, it will generate 5.1 channel surround sound from almost any source except a mono signal. Dolby Pro Logic II, which works with most prerecorded video tapes or any other stereo source, dramatically enhances the spatial experience and better differentiates sound sources by changing the surround channels from mono to stereo, making images more stable, and increasing channel separation. The five satellite speakers deliver full-size sound in a three dimensional soundfield, yet are small enough to fit easily in any room decor. The speakers cones are made of OMF (Onkyo Miro Fiber) which consists of ultra-fine silk threads with a non-saturated polyester coating. This makes the cones exceptionally light and rigid. Each is powered by a 10-watt amplifier operating above 150 Hz. The 25-watt subwoofer uses an OMF driver and Onkyo's patent pending J'Drive vented enclosure design to create powerful and natural-sounding bass. The Onkyo GXW-5.1 is currently available with a suggested retail price of $329.95. For more information on this and other Onkyo products, visit www.onkyousa.com.
