Seattle— April 1999 — X10.com, the first manufacturer
to develop a way to use the existing A/C wiring in your home to automatically control your
lights and appliances, has now figured out a way for you to easily enjoy DVD movies from
your PC on any TV in your home.
It just does not make sense to buy a computer with a DVD drive and
then crowd the family around the typical 15-inch PC monitor. Did you really spend all that
money to squint to see the best parts of the movie? Is that really what you pictured in
your mind? What makes it even worse is the fact that you have to be quiet to even hear the
soundtrack, the result of speakers with only a few watts of power. Did you really picture
distorted sound? With the DVD Anywhere Kit, you can just kick back and enjoy your favorite
movies in comfort and style.
The DVD Anywhere Kit sends the audio and video from the DVD movie to
the TV using 2.4-gigahertz wireless signals. A simple two-step process is all you need.
Step one: plug the transmitter into the back of your PC. Step two: plug the receiver into
the back of your favorite TV. Now you can experience DVD quality from any TV up to 100
feet away from your PC. You might be saying to yourself, "Great idea, but I’m
not thrilled about having to leave my seat to pause, fast forward, or rewind." Fear
not my friend. The wireless MouseREMOTE, included in the kit, controls the DVD movie in
your PC and also acts as a universal remote for operating your VCR, satellite, cable, etc.
The entire system takes only minutes to setup and can be programmed to operate other X10
products such as ActiveHome.
" Hmmm, I have to decide whether I want to struggle through my
favorite movies on my PC screen or enjoy them in surround sound on my big screen in a room
large enough to comfortably seat my entire family," said Alex Peder, president of X10
(USA) retail sales division. "That’s a tough one. NOT! Go with the DVD Anywhere
and feel good about your purchase again."
