Circle Surround II (CS-II) is a powerful and versatile multichannel technology. CS-IIis 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-IIprovides 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-IIis packed with other useful feature like dialog clarity (SRS Dialog) for movies and cinema-like bass enrichment (TruBass). CS-IIcan 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.

high-current amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the seven channels. It employs a massive EI power transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. This design configuration is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of the most demanding action movie soundtracks and full range (multichannel) music discs. Through its ability to generate very high output voltages, the SR4500 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.

The SR4500 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal® 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the 7 channels. Independent power supply circuits are incorporated for the FL display, audio and video sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected customized components, all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist had intended.

The SR4500 is designed and engineered with extensive feedback from dealers and consumers. It features a heavy duty speaker binding posts and an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs

/outputs. With 4 assignable digital inputs, 2 component inputs and SACD Multi Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs is taken to a stunning new level.

An easy-to-use universal remote control allows full access to all of the operating functions and can be used for system operation as well.

This unit has Simple Setup function for easy setup. You can setup all speaker settings by just selecting your room size and the number of your speakers with Simple Setup function. You can also setup customized settings just like conventional AV amplifiers.
