Angle Perspective

H-PAS in a soundbar? Cool. This would be great for our office conference room or my parents' den. At 47Hz by itself, that makes for some interesting ideas. I recall Peter saying something about an H-PAS soundbar a year or so ago.

Been waiting for this. Can't wait till the price and complete specs are available.

Is the angle perspective upside down on purpose?

The sound bar isn't upside down (note where the logo is in both pictures) - the control unit just moved. Could be to allow for mounting above or below a wall-mounted flat screen display.

I can confirm Gonk's observation.

The soundbar is designed to be used in either orientation. For wall mounting most will want the control dome on the bottom. For cabinet mounting the dome should be oriented to be on the top of the bar. The display and right/left channel configuration can easily be changed by holding down the volume up and down buttons simultaneously for two seconds. Everything then electronically "flips". In addition an alternate silk screen label is provided.

OK that makes sense now.

I assume that with the OP1 having Dolby and DTS, you do not need a separate receiver, that you connect your source appliances to your HDTV and then connect the TV's HDMI output the OSB-1, with volume and the like being handled by the TV remote, is that correct?

If so this sounds like great setup for bedrooms.

We are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here before our "official" announcement but I wanted you to know that the unit does not have HDMI-in, but it does have three digital inputs: (two optical and one coax) and analog inputs as well. The OSB-1 can be wired to your TV or to any of your source products (such as the optical out of a cable box.)

If you have a remote control that accepts codes for all brands of AV receivers we have included a code you can use that will drive the volume and other features.

To address your observation,in many homes "subwoofer" and "bedroom" are not uttered the same sentence so the OSB-1 can be an ideal solution. We lived with a prototype in our bedroom for three weeks and we can't wait to set up the production unit.

I assume the OSB-1 will accept decoded digital audio from the newer codecs since it won't be decoding them.
