Hitachi DVD Players Incorporate Industry Leading Spatializer N-2-2(TM) For Virtual Surround Sound

Introduction of Two New DVD Players Brings Total Product Line Up to Five For The Global Market

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Spatializer Audio Laboratories Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPAZ ) announced today that Hitachi, Ltd. has included Spatializer N-2-2(TM) Virtual Surround Sound across its entire DVD Player line-up. Models DV-P250, DV-P305 and DV-W1 have already established themselves among the top DVD Players in the global market since their introduction earlier this year. Two additional models, the DV-P705 and DV-C605 will be introduced early next year.

Spatializer N-2-2 delivers an astonishing virtual surround sound experience from just two speakers, instead of the five speakers normally required. The combination of cost, space requirements and the complexity of set-up often makes it difficult for consumers to justify a full five speaker plus subwoofer playback system. By utilizing a series of proprietary real-time algorithms, spatial cues are created that convince the listener's ear and brain that a sound is coming from a location other than the speaker. The result is an audio experience, which retains the spatial realism of the full home theater set-up without the expense and complication.

``Our latest design win for the entire Hitachi DVD Player line steps up the pace in our drive to be the de facto standard in virtual audio enhancement technology,'' said Henry R. Mandell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc. ``We are pleased to expand our long standing relationship with Hitachi, Ltd. which is highly respected around the world for its superb quality and innovation. Hitachi DVD Players have quickly made a strong impact in the market and we look forward to working with them to provide their customers with the ultimate in audio enhancement solutions.''

``We are most enthusiastic about the launch of our two new DVD Players to join our extended series of digital home entertainment products. We are pleased to have Spatializer N-2-2 providing an exciting virtual surround sound solution for our customers. This technology provides a very realistic and immersive listening experience for those without extensive multiple speaker configurations,'' said Mr. Hiroshi Shibata, Group Manager, Video of Hitachi America, Ltd.
