DVD display racks that can hold over 500 titles, two 13" color TVs, two

The digital display contains Comjet's HomeMighty DVD-i set-top player.
The state-of-the-art console has an internal modem and wireless
keyboard which allows video retailers to access on-line resources like
Internet movie news, data bases and industry community groups. At the
Convention, the DVD-i set-top boxes will feature ScreenPlay's
SmartScreen (tm), a monthly DVD based movie trailer disc, that gives
store management the option to choose what movie previews to play in
their stores.

experience possible in a retail environment.

as well as components that make up the roll-a-round multimedia display.
Comjet DVD Players and surround sound systems are feature rich and
competitively priced allowing IVR's across the country to offer
hardware at healthy margins to their 19th century VHS tape customers
