introduced HiFi-Link for iPod -- a unique docking station that connects<br />
iPods to home stereos or televisions while charging them so they're ready<br />
for the next road trip. </p>
<p>A "made-for iPod" accessory, HiFi-Link for iPod is one of the first<br />
products on the market to support Apple's hot new iPod with video and to<br />
take advantage of Apple's new Universal Dock design, ensuring compatibility<br />
with current and future iPods.</p>
<p>"Now you can enjoy all of your iPod content on your home entertainment<br />
system - played through more powerful stereo speakers or viewed from a<br />
large-screen living room TV," said Barrie Davis, Xitel's president.<br />
"HiFi-Link allows iPods to seamlessly integrate with anything from a<br />
top-of-the-line surround sound system through to a simple boombox or<br />
regular TV."</p>
<p>Engineered for Exceptional Sound and Viewing Quality</p>
<p>Built from the ground up for exceptional sound quality, HiFi-Link for iPod<br />
replicates the high-end outputs found on audiophile-grade equipment. By<br />
processing the cleanest possible signal from iPod's base connector,<br />
HiFi-Link for iPod provides exceptionally pure and dynamic audio for a true<br />
high-fidelity experience. Attention to detail is apparent in the quality of<br />
gold-plated line-level RCA outputs with matching studio-grade audio cable.<br />
Through the inclusion of SRS TruBass, Xitel's HiFi-Link for iPod also<br />
significantly enhances the lower frequencies of all music. Using advanced<br />
psychoacoustics, HiFi-Link for iPod adds back the warmth and depth that<br />
audio compression takes away.</p>
<p>"While sensational sound quality and TruBass enhancement make HiFi-Link for<br />
iPod an outstanding audio product, our video capabilities really finish<br />
things off perfectly," Barrie Davis continued. HiFi-Link for iPod uses<br />
composite video output to enable photo and video viewing through any TV,<br />
while advanced buffering ensures sharp, crisp pictures without interference.</p>
<p>Implementation of the Apple Universal Dock design makes HiFi-Link for iPod<br />
totally compatible with Dock Adapter clips included by Apple with the new<br />
iPod nano and iPod with video. A simple click and replace mechanism allows<br />
customers to also use clips included by Xitel for iPod color, iPod mini,<br />
iPod with dock connector and iPod photo. Combined with a full-size remote<br />
control and intelligent recharging, Xitel's HiFi-Link for iPod is a simple<br />
and convenient way to integrate iPod into your home entertainment setup.</p>
<p>"Thirty years of developing advanced consumer electronics technology has<br />
allowed us to incorporate innovative features that set the HiFi-Link for<br />
iPod apart," said Davis.</p>
<p>Key Features of Xitel's new HiFi-Link for iPod</p>
<p>* Play: Use your HiFi-Link for iPod with a home stereo, boombox, or plug in<br />
a set of powered speakers to create a dedicated iPod music center.</p>
<p>* View: Buffered composite output allows you to view sharp photos and video<br />
on your regular TV while maintaining pristine audio quality.</p>
<p>* Improve: Gold-plated, line-level outputs provide superior sound quality.<br />
Unique design means your stereo receives an exceptionally pure and dynamic<br />
signal for crystal-clear performance. Adjustable SRS TruBass creates rich,<br />
deep bass, adding back the warmth and depth audio compression takes away.</p>
<p>* Control: Powerful remote conveniently controls your iPod an extended<br />
distance - up to 50 feet. Swap between tracks, playlists, pause, play, fast<br />
forward, fast rewind or turn your iPod off.</p>
<p>* Charge: Power and automatically charge your iPod. Listen at home knowing<br />
your iPod will be ready to go when you are.</p>
<p>* Compatibility: HiFi-Link for iPod includes Apple's new iPod Universal<br />
Dock design for compatibility with present and future-generation iPods.<br />
HiFi-Link for iPod is made for iPod with video, iPod nano, iPod color, iPod<br />
mini, iPod with dock connector and iPod photo.</p>
