Circle Surround
Circle Surround® ("CS") is a powerful and versatile multichannel
decoder capable of delivering up to 5.1 channels of audio from
any stereo, matrix encoded or Circle Surround encoded
material. The first in the Circle Surround family of technologies,
CS incorporates superior steering of surround information and
remarkable center channel placement, while maintaining
full-range bandwidth in each speaker.
With Circle Surround, listeners may now enjoy their 5.1 home
entertainment systems with any stereo source material including
music on CDs, television programming, cable broadcasts
and movies on VHS. It also decodes any matrix encoded
material, providing better performance than older systems such
as Dolby Pro Logic ®. Optimal results can be achieved with
playback of Circle Surround encoded source material.
