MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 1, 2003 - A
leader in innovative digital media processing technologies for the Digital Home,
LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that Lite-On IT Corporation is
using its proven DiMeNsion™ 8600 (DMN-8600) DVD recorder processor as the basis
for Lite-On's newest DVD recorder product, LVW-5001. With LSI Logic's DMN-8600,
Lite-On IT was able to quickly and effectively develop a feature-rich DVD+RW

"Our relationship with LSI Logic has enabled us to
continually push the envelope of quality and value," said Max Chen, general
manager, Digital Consumer Business Unit, Lite-On IT Corp. "With its high level
of integration, broad feature set and excellent image quality, the DMN-8600
processor allowed us to develop an affordably priced DVD recorder with features
and proven reliability that further drives the adoption of DVD
recorders."


Leveraging the DMN-8600, Lite-On was able to build
the first DVD recorder with DV/ FireWire camcorder input capability (Direct
Digital Dub™) that breaks the $ 300 price point. The LSI Logic Direct Digital
Dub technology simplifies the transfer of personal digital content from a
camcorder to DVD over FireWire, with one-touch control via a single
remote.


"Together LSI Logic and Lite-On have achieved new
feature, cost, and time-to-market objectives that are key to the success of the
DVD recorder market," said Timothy Vehling, senior director of marketing of
Consumer AV Products, LSI Logic's Broadband Entertainment Division. "LSI Logic
shares a vision with Lite-On to deliver consumers a high-quality DVD recording
product at an affordable price, and we look forward to working with them to
deliver additional flexible and powerful DVD recorder products as the market
grows and matures."

In addition to high levels of integration, the
DMN-8600 offers DoMiNoFX™ video technologies including TrueView™ Pro and
TrueScan™ Pro that represent visibly superior digital media processing. LSI
Logic's proprietary TrueView Pro technology provides the Lite-On LVW-5001 DVD
recorder with a cleaner picture through 3D noise reduction. This technique is
coupled with PerfectView® Pro, LSI Logic's fifth-generation compression
technology, for excellent video and recording quality, even at very low bit
rates. With TrueScan Pro progressive scan technology, clearer images are made
possible on the Lite-On LVW-5001 through the elimination of video blurring in
moving scenes. The integration of the complete audio and video systems, CPU and
graphics engine onto a single chip makes the DMN-8600 one of the most
cost-competitive DVD recordable solutions in the market today.
