CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. - Dec. 30, 2005 Market newcomer, ED Digital, will introduce a
broad family of products under the Digitrex® brand, including LCD TVs, DVD players, personal media players, set-top
boxes and home theater equipment, at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Thursday to Sunday, Jan. 5 - 8,

Backed by Jiangkui Group, a leading Chinese producer of home appliances and consumer electronics devices, the
Digitrex division of ED Digital is bringing the promise of a seamless and exciting connected home to the U.S.
market, by offering a combination of user-friendly devices with integrated easy-to-use, graphical end-user
interfaces.
During CES, the company also plans to unveil an industry-first wireless High-Definition Network LCD TV which
will be PlaysForSure-certified. This certification means that consumers will be able to easily access a broad
range of content from the growing variety of PlaysForSure subscriptions and download digital music and video
services.
