CIRCLE SURROUND 3X
FOR HOME CINEMA
CS-3X, Jr.
The SMART Center Surround 3X for Home Cinema adds that extra dimension
of sound to your Dolby Digital
TM
or DTS Digital
TM
soundtracks from LaserDiscs
or DVD Discs. Add one or more rear wall speakers and additional amplifiers to
get the full enjoyment from the latest film releases encoded with the new
Surround EX
format. In addition, this product even allows you to play your
TM
existing digital soundtracks and hear them in a way you have never heard them
before. The existing in-phase material present in the Left Surround and Right
Surround channels is routed to the rear wall speakers and the directionality is
greatly enhanced. A CENTER FILL level control lets you easily balance the rear
wall speakers against the Left Surround and Right Surround speakers. You can
easily select between the CS-3X mode and the regular LS-RS mode with the
push of a button. Built-in pink noise lets you easily set the surround channel
levels, and if you have equalizers installed, the pink noise source gives you a
signal that a Real Time Analyzer expects. This product even has a built-in
subwoofer output signal for adding those usually missing low frequencies to
your surround system. By adding a subwoofer system to the surrounds, when a
sound pans from the front speakers to the surrounds, the low frequency
information can also be heard from the surround system. This can significantly
enhance your listening experience if your surround speakers do not handle
low frequencies very well.

SETTING LEVELS The CS-3X, Jr. comes from the factory set up for unity gain levels. This means that whatever levels are going in are also the same levels going out. This is probably adequate for most situations. However, there are trimpots provided for adjusting the levels of each individual channel. -
