(Nasdaq: SRSL), a leading provider of innovative audio, voice and
semiconductor technology solutions, will be showcasing its wide range of
technology solutions for the home theater at this year's CEDIA Expo in

SRS Labs will be providing the following demonstrations at CEDIA:

-- Circle Surround(R)
SRS Circle Surround ("CS") is a patented and highly versatile
multichannel audio format that supports a wide range of surround sound
creation and playback applications. Circle Surround provides the
capability to encode up to 6.1 channels of audio for transmission or
storage over standard two-channel carriers such as CD and stereo
broadcasts. It is backward compatible with mono, stereo and most
matrix surround decoders, with playback performance subject to the
limitations of the specific decoder; however, optimal results are
achieved with a Circle Surround decoder.

Current broadcasters include ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN HD,
FOX, FX, TNT, PBS and over a dozen programs including the 2003 Tony
Awards, 2003 ESPY Awards, X Games, NFL and NBA broadcasts. The CS
format is the optimum surround solution for television because it
enables any network currently telecasting in stereo to now deliver up
to 6.1 surround sound to its viewers with no change to the
distribution or broadcast infrastructure.

Circle Surround decoding is capable of delivering up to 5.1 channels
of audio from stereo, matrix encoded or CS-encoded material, while its
successor, Circle Surround II ("CS II") is an even more versatile
multichannel decoder, capable of delivering a high performance, 6.1
experience from mono material. CS II technology features patented
post-processing techniques to enhance the surround sound experience.
These enhancements include SRS Dialog Clarity(TM), which improves the
intelligibility and clarity of center channel information, and SRS
TruBass(R), which uses patented psychoacoustic techniques to increase
bass performance from any playback system, including those with a
subwoofer of any size.

The Circle Surround format is capable of transforming CDs, VHS tapes,
AM/FM radio or MP3s into incredibly life-like surround sound. It
dynamically separates instruments, vocals, and even crowd noises for a
multichannel surround experience that rivals studio quality surround
remastering. To date, Circle Surround decoding has been incorporated
by leading hardware and software manufacturers including: Kenwood,
Marantz, Theta Digital, Accuphase, Jaton, M-Audio, Orion Studios and
Smart Devices.

-- TruSurround XT(R)
DVD players and big screen TVs have transformed the living room into
an entertainment center. While DVD owners can enjoy 5.1 or 6.1
multichannel soundtracks over their home theater systems, most
televisions and computer playback systems have only two speakers.
TruSurround solves this problem by processing any audio input source
(up to 6.1 channels) and transforming the material into a realistic
effect of multichannel surround sound through a single pair of
speakers or headphones. It has been featured in over 15 million
televisions, DVD players and computer software systems globally
including products made by Hughes Network Systems, Matsushita,
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Philips, Pioneer, Sony, Thomson
Consumer Electronics (RCA) and Toshiba Corporation.

Based upon TruSurround, the next generation TruSurround XT also
includes the unique features of SRS Dialog Clarity, which dramatically
clarifies speech during passages that contain dynamic surround sound
effects, and SRS TruBass, a psychoacoustic bass enhancement technology
that provides deep, rich bass down to an octave lower than the
physical limitations of the speakers.

-- SRS WOW(TM)
SRS WOW technology is a leading audio enhancement solution for a
nearly all types of audio products. It provides stunning improvement
to the fidelity of sound from any size speaker or headphone, ranging
from ultra miniature size to ordinary sizes. By the inclusion of
several legendary SRS technologies, WOW significantly enhances audio
playback with an immersive sound image and incredible, deep rich bass
in any electronic piece of equipment, satisfying even the most
discriminating listeners.

WOW is an invaluable audio solution for manufacturers of mobile or
portable devices that have tiny speakers, in addition to products in
which speakers are located close together, such as televisions and
desktop PCs. Hardware and software products that feature WOW include
mobile phones from Sharp, Microsoft's Windows(R) Media Player series
of software products, car CD receivers from Kenwood, as well as
televisions from Sony and Sharp. WOW is also available in the latest
Sony VAIO multimedia PC, and popular new portable digital audio
players from Digitalway, Dioneer, eDigital, iBead, iRiver, and
Samsung.

Philozarton: No...

I have been critical of e.Digital for trying to make APS seem like much more than it is and revealed that it is a part-time, home-based business owned by a cargo handler for Alaska Airlines.

I have never seen APS or Boyer claim that APS has any certification at all. That claim came from e.Digital in the APS press release. Therefore, I see e.Digital as the deceptive party on that claim.

Boyer desiged the cargo door protector on his website and assisted with the design of the belt loader nose. Both of those designs were sold to Shaw Aero, which manufactures and sells them. Because APS lacks the required certification to sell these types of items to airlines, it does not even sell the devices on its web site to airlines (although Shaw Aero would give Boyer a commission if he initiated a sale).

However, I have been impressed at Boyer's ability to get his IFE business going, including coming up with the money, his agreements with 20th Century Fox, getting publicity from IFE publications, establishing logistics for the transfer facility and now this onboard pay device. He now has a real business address and probably has employees as well. He is advancing his business plan.

He really seems to have the drive and focus to make as good a go of it as possible. I wonder how he feels that one of the companies he engaged to help design and manufacture the device appears to be trying to steal his thunder to pump its stock price.

FWIW, I'm not sure his concept will be wildly successful. But, as I've said more than once, this entrepreneurial cargo handler seems to have much more on the ball than the whole crew at e.Digital which has more excuses than executions of its business plans.
