Sleek, simple and small, the CS-500 home
theater system puts the ultimate cinema
experience right into your living room with
fewer wires and components. By applying
Dolby®Virtual Speaker technology, this amaz-
ing little setup delivers the effect of a large, 5.1
home theater system with just two compact
speakers, a subwoofer, and an A/V center.
Each magnetically shielded (so it won’t inter-
fere with your TV) speaker employs dual 2.5”
high-output woofers and a 0.75” horn-loaded
tweeter. Our Tractrix®Horn technology is
what allows this system to deliver genuine,
lifelike sound as well as produce more output
using less energy.
The down-firing subwoofer utilizes a power-
ful 6.5” woofer. Due to its compact size, this
heavy-hitter can easily be hidden away while
still delivering dramatic low-end effects.
The A/V center features a built-in Class D
amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power
to each speaker and 100 watts of power to
the subwoofer. It also includes a progressive
scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner, and three
auxiliary inputs. The CS-500 even has the
ability to pass high-definition signals through
a component output and can simplify all of
the auxiliary input connections into a single
convenient output to the TV. A universal IR
remote control directs all system functions as
well as those of the TV and other entertain-
ment devices.
Not only is it easier than buying separate audio
components, the CS-500 can be up and run-
ning in as little as 10 minutes. All you have to
do is connect the speakers, subwoofer and TV
to the A/V center using the color-coded wiring
and then plug in one power cord—it’s that
simple. Available in a black finish, the CS-500
also has a clean, modern design that fits
comfortably into any living environment.
