FIA Announces On3 Digital Media Player

The On3 Digital Media Player and Library is an easy-to-use home entertainment device that lets users view videos and photos on the TV, and listen to MP3 music on personal stereos.

The FIA On3 offers a tremendous feature set, including playback, remote access, an abundant storage library, and easy installation for an amazingly low starting price of $449. The FIA On3 can be purchased through online merchants PC Connection, Tiger Direct, and Zones, and direct from FIA at www.fiaon3.com.

Also today, FIA announced that it will raffle its new On3 digital media player and library, valued at $449 retail price. The raffle is only open to registered Retail Vision attendees and within the premises of the event. Attendees are encouraged to stop by the FIA booth #DV38 in the Desert Vista ballroom, and leave your business card with a FIA representative. The winner will be announced the on the evening of April 28th.

“We are now fully shipping the FIA On3 and expect to build a solid customer base through retailers and online merchants nationwide, said Ben Marchak, vice president of sales at FIA. “The FIA On3 differentiates itself in the marketplace as the first Digital Media Player to provide instant playback in stand-alone mode (without a PC), and the first unit that condenses all digital media from camera, MP3 audio, and videos onto its high-capacity 80 or 120 gigabytes of network-attached-storage, at an unbelievably low price.”

Additionally, the FIA On3 condenses all digital media and stores information onto one unit then disperses it in up to 4 rooms throughout the house using an optional FIA On3-xr station. The information is managed remotely and streamed through broadband or a wireless connection. The FIA On3 and On3-xr station come with software features to simplify viewing and audio playing. Simple setup functions let you quickly and easily install the unit in less than five minutes, making your entertainment media instantly accessible. The FIA On3 comes in two models of 80 GB for $449, 120 GB for $599, and the FIA On3-xr (extra room) Station for $249, respectively. With the 80 or 120 GB storage library, users can store thousands of digital files. The portable unit can be used alone or connected to Ethernet LAN.

The low-cost FIA On3 Player is simple to use, and supports industry standard operating system MS Windows. All products are suggested retail price, are listed in US dollars, and are backed by a limited one-year manufacturer’s warranty. Retailer pricing will vary, and special discounts are available for quantity purchases.
