CS 420
CD RECEIVER SYSTEM
Quality Audio Playback with a Sense of Convenience and Versatility
Here’s an integrated audio system that will more than adequately handle the wide-ranging frequencies of your music, including CDs, MP3s

WRAT Wide Range Amplifier Technology
iPod Playback through Onkyo’s RI Remote Interactive System Capability
Originally developed for our high-end A/V receivers, WRAT is a collection of
Onkyo’s proprietary technologies that achieves three fundamental goals in
the pursuit of superior audio:

Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry
2 Way, Bass Reflex Speakers Incorporating Onkyo’s Own
Speaker Developments
Designed to neatly complement the CD receiver in any room of the home,
Conventional volume attenuation methods must initially drop a signal close to
the noise floor at low volumes. Even though the signal is only tainted with a little
noise, the amount increases when the signal is amplified. Onkyo’s Optimum Gain
Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation
is necessary. The signal never comes close to the noise floor, and thereby
eliminates the possibility of noise contamination that plagues conventional volume
attenuation methods.

A OMF diaphragm woofer is made from a three-layer construction that absorbs
vibrations that can adversely affect the quality of the emitted sound. This thin
yet rigid diaphragm enables an extremely fast and accurate response—essential

It is all too common for manufacturers of mini systems to employ just one circuit
at the output stage. With multiple transistors crammed onto this single circuit,

excess heat is generated and the audio signal is compromised. The CS 420
is different. It uses discrete amplifier technology similar to that found on our
high-end receivers. Keeping the transistors separate at the output stage enhances

cooling, so the CS 420’s longevity is extended and interference to the audio
signal is reduced.
