I-Jam Multimedia Showcases Latest Devices in Digital Entertainment At CES 2000

I-Jam's Latest DVD and MP3 Product Offerings Provide Cost-Effective and Efficient Solutions

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2000--I-Jam® Multimedia L.L.C., a pioneer in the digital audio arena, is showcasing its newest product offerings in the digital audio arena - the IJ-888, a DVD/MP3 player, and the IJ-883, a DVD ROM drive.

The latest in multimedia technology, these DVD products are not just full-feature DVD video players, but they also can accommodate standard compact discs, CD-R/CD-RW media, MP3 digital audio, as well as Video Compact Disc (VCD) media, popular in Asia.

``As the digital revolution comes into full swing, consumers' entertainment preferences are changing,'' said Doug Marrison, President and CEO, I-Jam Multimedia. ``I-Jam is determined to offer consumers a variety of digital entertainment solutions to meet their listening and viewing needs - and options to accommodate the variety of digital audio formats available.''

A Perfect Combination

The IJ-888 is a DVD/MP3 combo-player that works with home theater systems and can support a wide variety of CD formats, including CD-Audio, CD-ROM and video compact discs (VCD). Measuring 3.5- x 11- x 18-inches, this powerful AC power operated desktop unit features a luminous fluorescent display to show chapter, track number and elapsed time. It comes with a ``jogging'' knob, enabling users to play DVD titles at multiple speeds up to eight times faster, or slower than normal format. In addition, the IJ-888 can play up to eight different languages, with 32 subtitles available on a single DVD video disc.

To allow for extra high-resolution and the clearest, most robust images possible, the IJ-888 comes with an advanced 10-bit video D/A converter, which offers a horizontal resolution of more than 500 lines. And, when it comes to playing MP3 tunes, this DVD/MP3 player offers over 10 hours of continuous, uninterrupted music with just one CD-R disc.

Featuring a Dolby Digital/DTS RF output, the IJ-888 can connect to any Dolby Digital AC3 5.1 home theater amplifier to enable a true ``surround sound'' experience. The IJ-888 also has a karaoke feature, designed to accompany video, for family fun.

Drive And Play

The IJ-883 is an internal DVD ROM drive for the computer, that combines a 6X speed DVD and a 32X speed CD-ROM drive in one internal unit. A low-cost PC ``fix,'' the IJ-883 enables users to take complete advantage of the large number of DVD software, video, games and other CD-based multimedia products available on the market. Easy to install, the IJ-883 can read both signal and dual layer CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM and DVD Video, as well as VCD in both regular CD, CD-R or CD-RW media.

Available at selected retailers early 2Q 2000, the IJ-888 and the IJ-883 have suggested retail prices of $229 and $129 respectively.
