Don't Get Stuck with Cheap Speakers

Today's digital recordings, like those found on DVDs
and CDs, offer you a much wider, detailed listening
range than was ever before possible. So why waste this
advantage on low-quality, home-theater-in-a-box system
speakers that can't fully produce this listening range?
The DR-S2.0 lets you connect the speakers of your
choice, so you're not "stuck" with the cheap, massmarket speakers that many manufacturers use to cut
costs.

it's been designed for operational
ease. You'll find your fingers will
naturally gravitate to the
commonly used keys, because
the buttons are big, differently
shaped, and most importantly,
located where your hand
instinctually grips the remote.
The remote is also extremely
versatile. It can control virtually
all of your system's functions, as
well as "learn" the codes of your
TVwhich means you might
never have to leave the couch.
