SANTA ANA, Calif., June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRS Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRSL - News), the industry leader in surround sound, audio and voice technologies, announced today that U.S.-based Syntax-Brillian (Nasdaq: BRLC - News) has licensed SRS TruSurround XT surround sound technology for their 2 Series and 6 Series brand LCD HDTVs.

Syntax-Brillian, one of the fastest growing TV brands, selected SRS Labs as their audio partner because of the unique and demonstrable features of SRS' advanced sound enrichment technologies. SRS TruSurround XT deployed in Olevia LCD HDTVs processes multichannel audio content found in television shows and movies to create an immersive surround sound experience over the TV's built-in stereo speakers. Olevia LCD HDTV customers will feel as if "phantom" speakers are placed around them, producing an amazing surround sound effect, without the clutter, wires, added expense or complexity of a multi-speaker configuration.

"SRS TruSurround XT is not only easy to integrate into our platform, but, more importantly, provides our customer's with a high-quality, immersive audio experience that matches the rich, vibrant images of our new lineup of Olevia LCD HDTVs that we plan to introduce this Summer," says Sam Miller, Senior Vice President of R&D for Syntax-Brillian. "We're happy to be working with an innovator like SRS Labs and look forward to developing our partnership further in the future."

According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), 76% of all flat panel TVs are used without a separate audio amplification system. Yet, the CEA also found that consumers consider audio to be nearly as important as video in terms of importance in an entertainment system. Further, SRS Labs' MarketTools study found that over 71% of HDTV buyers indicated that "audio quality" was their 3rd most important buying criteria out of a list of 18. By featuring SRS TruSurround XT in Olevia LCD HDTVs, Syntax-Brillian is providing consumers a convenient solution to experience the full extent of the surround sound capabilities built into DVD movies and TV programs.

"We are very excited about our new partnership with Syntax-Brillian. The combination of their leading edge designs and our ability to fine tune and customize our world-class sound enrichment solutions to optimize the overall performance of their Olevia LCD TVs enables us to provide today's demanding AV consumers with the best possible entertainment experience," said Allen Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs.

Beginning this Summer 2008, Syntax-Brillian will ship the new 2 Series and its 6 Series Olevia LCD HDTVs with SRS Labs' TruSurround XT to its North American retailers. Olevia LCD HDTVs range in size from 26-inches to 65-inches.
