BRLC Syntax-Brillian Corp (MM)

Syntax-Brillian Corporation (Nasdaq:BRLC), a leading manufacturer and marketer of LCD HDTVs, digital cameras and consumer electronics products, today issued a statement in response to a forfeiture order issued by the Federal Communications Commission (�FCC�) concluding that the company violated the digital television rule concerning the importation and interstate shipment of analog televisions. As part of the order, the FCC has fined the company $1.266 million, a reduction from the initial fine of $2.9 million proposed in the agency�s May 2007 original Notice of Apparent Liability. The company is disappointed with, and intends to seek further review of, today�s action. The Commission�s investigation focused on mid-size television models that have been discontinued for some time. The company has replaced these models with its next-generation Olevia LCD HDTVs with integrated digital tuners. Syntax-Brillian emphasizes that its Olevia LCD HDTVs are 100 percent digital and have been so for nearly two years. Syntax-Brillian has complied with the Commission�s investigation and responded in a timely manner to all of its inquiries. Syntax-Brillian fully supports the digital transition and will continue to educate consumers on the evolution to digital TV.
