CS-315

CD RECEIVER SYSTEM
Emitting the Sweetest, Sharpest Audio From A Smart, Compact Unit
The biggest challenge for compact audio systems is to take any music genre and reproduce a detailed, balanced audio output. If we judge the CS-315 CD receiver system only on that basis alone, we have a winner. Anchored around Onkyos Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), the CS-315 uncovers the nuance of CDs or MP3 tracks recorded to disc. An outstanding option is to team it up with Onkyos Remote Interactive Dock for the iPod to bring greater audio fidelity to digital music files stored on your PC. Looking as good as it sounds, the CS-315 is enhanced by its striking front aluminum panel and vibration-reducing build. You shouldnt overlook the CS-315 sizethis system will easily fit into most spaces that you choose. Making a complete audio chain with the D-N7BX 2-way, bass reflex speakers, you can expect the CS-315 to make an impression wherever you place it.
Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) for a Full, Precise Soundscape With any compact audio system, finding the right amplifier design will help to generate higher quality sound compared to a system built purely to meet size specifications. Taking the cue from some of Onkyos renowned amplifiers and receivers, the CS-315 incorporates WRAT to achieve three important goals in the pursuit of higher standards in audio: 1) A wider frequency response; 2) Reduced amplifier distortion at high volume; and 3) Better control of current and electro/ mechanical kick-back from speakers. WRAT ensures that youll get the best audio playback quality possible from regular CDs, MP3s burnt to disc or your iPod. Exclusive Onkyo Circuitry to Maintain Clean Audio Signals Lower quality mini audio systems usually employ just one circuit at the output stage. With multiple transistors crammed onto a single circuit, excess heat is generated and the audio signal is compromised. The CS-315 is different. It uses discrete amplifier technology similar to that found on our bigger amplifiers and receivers. Keeping the transistors separate at the output stage enhances cooling, so the CS-315s longevity is extended and interference to the audio signal is reduced. Also, as conventional volume attenuation methods must initially drop a signal close to the noise floor at low volumes, the signal is tainted with noise. This noise increases when the signal is amplified. Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation is necessary. This signal never comes close to the noise floor thereby reducing the risk of noise. iPod Playback through Onkyos Remote Interactive (RI) System Capability With Onkyos RI system capabilities, you can add other Onkyo components to the CS-315like a CD recorder or cassette deckand operate them through one single remote control. RI capability also gives you the opportunity to integrate virtually any iPod model (including the diminutive iPod nano) with your CD receiver system through Onkyos Remote Interactive Dock for the iPod. Simply connect the dock to the CS-315, then place your iPod in the dock for a heftier and more detailed sound than can be experienced with an RCA stereo cable. To cap it off, RI capability will also give you remote operability over your iPod for hands-off control over your digital music. The CS-315 will also accommodate an upcoming version of the Dock. Comprehensive Control Over All Your MP3s With more and more music being bought online, the CS-315 is an ideal solution for bringing greater audio fidelity to MP3s. As MP3s can be organized in a hierarchy with folders containing files and subfolders, you can use two modes, Navigation and All Folder, for selection and playback. In All Folder mode, all folders appear at the same level, making it easy to select each folder. If no file or MP3 is selected, all tracks will be played back in numerical order. With Navigation mode, you can actually move through the folder hierarchy. The display button on the remote also enables you to display information about the MP3 being played (including artist, title and album name). Matching Speakers Featuring Onkyo Speaker Developments While the CR-315 CD receiver stands out with its easy-to-fit build and striking aluminum front panel, the accompanying D-N7BX 2-way, bass reflex speakers round out an ergonomic balance. But these speakers have not only been built for design considerations. They provide a range of Onkyo speaker developments designed to match the CR-315 musically. A prime example is A-OMF Monocoquethe latest in a series of diaphragm fibers designed to support the piston motion range of the woofer. Compared to its predecessor, A-OMF has a twill (cotton weave) that is 30% stronger giving it greater ability to provide support for the woofers piston motion range. To deliver high frequency sounds with finesse, the speakers include a ring-drive tweeter that has proven to be effective in negating the effects of low-frequency interference emanating from inside the cabinet. Finally a ductcalled the Aero Acoustic Drivehelps to cancel out interference between high and low frequency sounds.
