Circle Surround II (CS- II ) is a powerful and
versatile multichannel technology. CS- II is
designed to enable up to 6.1 multichannel surround
sound playback from mono, stereo, CS encoded
sources and other matrix encoded sources. In all
cases the decoder extends it into 6 channels of
surround audio and a LFE/subwoofer signal. The
CS-
II decoder creates a listening environment that
places the listener “inside” music performances
and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio
conventional surround-encoded video material.
CS-
II
provides composite stereo rear channels to
greatly improve separation and image positioning–
adding a heightened sense of realism to both audio
and A/V productions.
CS-
II is packed with other useful feature like dialog
clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like
bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-
II can enable the
dialog to become clearer and more discernable in
movies and it enables the bass frequencies
contained in the original programming to more
closely achieve low frequencies–overcoming the
low frequency limitations of the speakers by full
octave.

HDCD
®
(High Definition Compatible Digital
®
) is a
patented process for delivering on Compact Disc
the full richness and details of the original
microphone feed.
HDCD encoded CDs sound better because they
a r e e n c o d e d w i t h 2 0 - b i t s o f r e a l m u s i c a l
information as compared to 16-bits for all other
CDs.
HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD
format by using a sophisticated system to encode
the additional four bits onto the CD while remaining
completely compatible with the CD format.
When listening to HDCD recordings, you hear
more dynamic range, a focused 3-D sound stage,
and extremely natural vocal and musical timbre.
With HDCD, you get the body, depth and emotion
of the original performance not a flat, digital
imitation.
