San Diego, California – June 23, 2006
About the new TellPhone 5000 & TellPhone 4200
The new TellPhone 5000 and TellPhone 4200 Bluetooth hands-free car kits offer true voice activation with easy to
remember voice commands, such as number and name dialing. True voice activation is the standard of all TellPhone
systems and is independent from the mobile phone’s own voice tag dialing functionality, which is also accessible
through all TellPhone systems.

TellPhone systems integrate into the car’s audio system and use the latest DSP technology for crystal clear sound
and echo cancellation. The new TellPhone systems accommodate up to 4 different user setups with independent
mobile phone and language settings (English, Spanish and French). Each user is automatically recognized when
entering the car and turning on the ignition.

The TellPhone 5000 and TellPhone 4200 displays all important information, such as Caller ID, phonebook entries,
battery status, signal strength, missed and dialed calls, on an easy to read and illuminated LCD. Both systems
download the mobile phone’s entire phonebook and support multiple phone numbers per contact. The extended
memory of the new TellPhone systems can store up to 10,000 phonebook entries – which is enough to satisfy even
the most demanding mobile phone users.

The software and firmware of all new TellPhone systems are easily updatable via Bluetooth.
TellPhone 5000 vs. TellPhone 4200

The TellPhone 5000 is clearly the leader in the class of true voice activated Bluetooth hands-free car kits. It comes
with a wireless remote control and a separate high resolution illuminated LCD display; both can be mounted
independently at any desired location in the car. The wireless multi-function remote control uses a rotary control and
two buttons to offer easy and fast access to all functions.
The TellPhone 4200 is the most affordable hands-free car kit of the TellPhone product line, but still provides
Bluetooth connectivity and true voice activation features in addition to the mobile phone’s voice tag dialing function.
The TellPhone 4200 has a combined command and display module, which can be easily mounted almost anywhere
in the vehicle to guarantee a convenient and easy use.

TellPhone products have always been designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards and are subjected
to the most rigorous testing procedures to exceed all automotive industry requirements. Because of the high quality

Pioneer today announced that the company’s first retail store in the United States will open this August at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. Consumers can customize the home theater of their dreams, relying on the expertise of Pioneer to select, design and install a system that provides an unbeatable high definition experience. In addition to offering Pioneer and Pioneer Elite products, the Pioneer company store also will serve as a testing ground for cutting-edge products currently only available in Japan and will support Pioneer’s customer-focused business objective by giving the company direct access to consumer feedback that will impact and enhance future product development.

LONG BEACH, CA – June 28, 2006 – Pioneer today announced that the company’s first retail store in the United States will open this August at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. Consumers can customize the home theater of their dreams, relying on the expertise of Pioneer to select, design and install a system that provides an unbeatable high definition experience. In addition to offering Pioneer and Pioneer Elite products, the Pioneer company store also will serve as a testing ground for cutting-edge products currently only available in Japan and will support Pioneer’s customer-focused business objective by giving the company direct access to consumer feedback that will impact and enhance future product development.

The Pioneer company store is at the center of Pioneer’s customer-focused strategy that better aligns customer feedback with product planning and development. Pioneer’s new retail channel allows for a two-way dialogue with consumers that will enhance future Pioneer products. Customer data will be obtained both anecdotally through Pioneer store associates, as well as through formal market research including focus groups and surveys with consumers, interior designers, architects and other home entertainment professionals. The results of this market data will be reported to product planners and engineers, enabling Pioneer to develop products that exceed consumer expectations.

Pioneer’s retail space in the U.S. allows the company to test new technologies and unique products currently only available in Japan. Sales of these products at the Pioneer store will serve as a guide to other retailers to help them decide when and how to introduce these technologies to the U.S. market.

For example, at the Pioneer store exclusive products will include Pure Malt Speakers that are made from recycled whiskey barrels, home entertainment furniture with features such as built in speakers, various colored plasma frames that match different decors and small pick-up items including high quality speakers for use in the shower or bathtub.

“Product technology is evolving so quickly and commoditization of product happens faster than ever,” said Craig McManis, vice president, Pioneer Stores (USA) Inc. “A company store allows us greater access to consumers for product testing and planning and supports Pioneer’s plan to provide premium value added products to consumers who are entertainment connoisseurs.”

Pioneer has one of the strongest sales channel distributions in the U.S. with more than 1,000 specialty retailers selling its Pioneer and Pioneer Elite products.

“We value the relationship with our retail partners and will continue to work closely with them to ensure their success. The hope is that this endeavor will give us a greater understanding of the challenges they face. At the same time, the information we gather from consumers will enable us to build even better products that will benefit our own store as well as our retail partners,” said McManis.

“Pioneer selected South Coast Plaza as the location for its first U.S. retail store because our clientele expect a level of service only a company with a premium brand position like Pioneer can deliver,” said Debra Gunn Downing, executive director, marketing, South Coast Plaza. “South Coast Plaza reaches an exclusive demographic of upscale shoppers who spent $1.4 billion at the shopping center last year. We have the highest sales per square foot and have launched more ‘first time’ company stores of any shopping center in the country.”

Pioneer’s brand position aligns with the South Coast Plaza demographic and this retail store is the ideal place to showcase the innovative qualities of the premium Pioneer brand with a level of customer service that exceeds anything available in the market today. With direct access to product planners and engineers, Pioneer store employees will be extremely knowledgeable about the company’s products and technologies.

Store personnel will be trained in a similar fashion as Pioneer’s corporate staff so they will have the product knowledge to assist the home theater purist who truly wants to learn about the products they will purchase. For entertainment connoisseurs who know the end result they want to achieve from a home theater system, but don’t necessarily care about the technology that makes it happen, the Pioneer store will also offer carefully designed product packages based on the company’s experience and training on the components that are designed to work best together.

Pioneer store customers will be able to see and hear these packaged systems in action through various vignettes throughout the 3,200 square foot store. The vignettes are designed to help consumers make easy selections based on the size of the room where the system will be placed and the primary use for the system, whether they’re looking for a basic home theater package that will be used for general TV viewing or the ultimate home entertainment experience for heavy sports or movie watching.

A similar store was launched in the Meguro district of Tokyo in 2006 and information sharing between the Tokyo and Orange county store locations will provide direction for Pioneer’s future store development.

June 6, 2006 – Hanover, MA – Inteset, makers of advanced home entertainment systems with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) have expanded their training and support capabilities. In a continuous effort to improve dealer training and support, Inteset now includes sophisticated, yet simple-to-use, remote access tools on all of its media server and client systems. “This ultimate method of support allows us to assist our dealers in ways, that until now, have been unheard of in the A/V industry,” says Jeff Lloyd, CEO of Inteset.

Inteset support technicians can securely access systems over the Internet and remotely view and control the same image the dealer sees when they’re configuring systems. If the dealer has questions, Inteset support can take control of the machine and show them exactly what to do. “It’s like having a senior level Inteset technician sitting next to you,” says Ted Tansacha of D&T Design, a leading dealer in Cape Coral, Florida. “It’s a tremendous time saving tool. Instead of walking through steps over the phone, Inteset actually performs the tasks quickly right before your eyes,” continues Tansacha.

Furthermore, installers can use the integrated support tool to remotely train their clients or periodically dial in to do general maintenance tasks and feature updates. “Dealers have said that this is a valuable service that their clients would be willing to pay for,” explains Lloyd. Inteset suggests that dealers assess the client a semi-yearly or yearly maintenance fee for the service.

Inteset, LLC has been creating high-end home entertainment products since 2003. The award winning Denzel Media Server and VANA Advanced Extender systems appeal to A/V dealers and integrators for reliability, ease-of-use, unique entertainment modules and services, price point, and interoperability with advanced control systems. Products are available via preferred Inteset dealers. To learn more, visit www.inteset.com . Inteset products will be on display during the CEDIA show this September.

Allwired Technologies is an authorized dealer of the Inteset family of products.
