-
220 CD receiver system.
The CS
-
220 sports a range of features you’d normally expect to find only on higher-end models. High-quality Wolfson
®
DACs for accurate
digital-to-analog conversion; discrete output stage circuitry for a clean output signal from the amplifier; and A
-
OMF cones and Aero Acoustic
Drive for enhanced speaker performance. Finished off with a sturdy yet stylish aluminum front panel, the CS
-
220 presents a winning
combination of simplicity and performance.
CD RECEIVER SYSTEM
Wide Range Amplifier Technology
(
WRAT
)
Originally available only on our high-end models, Onkyo
’
s exclusive WRAT
offers several breakthroughs in amplifier configuration. Firstly, its low negative
feedback design achieves a frequency response out beyond 100 kHz, for
stunningly high-resolution playback. Secondly, closed ground-loop circuits
reduce circuit noise and keep the ground potential free of distortion. And
thirdly, its high instantaneous-current capability enables dramatic, theater-like
dynamics and clarity.
Discrete Output Stage Circuitry
Mini-systems made by our cost-cutting competitors typically 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
-
220, though, uses discrete amplifier technology similar to that found on
our high-end receivers. Keeping the transistors separate at the output stage
enhances cooling, so that the lifetime of the unit is extended and unwanted
interference to the audio signal is reduced.

Bit D/A Converter
The CS
-
220 features a state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converter from Wolfson,
a world-leading name in mixed signal semiconductors for multimedia applications.
The CS
-
220’s high-performance DAC supports sampling rates up to 192 kHz,
and includes a serial interface port, digital interpolation filters and multi-bit
sigma delta modulators. Exceeding the stringent Dolby
®
Class A performance
requirements, this DAC reproduces your audio signal with clarity and faithfulness
rare in such a compact system.
Aluminum Volume Control & Front Panel
Onkyo’s renowned attention to build quality extends even to our most affordable
models. While our competitors may skimp and use cheaper plastics, we offer
superior materials and craftsmanship. Take,for example, the CS
-
220’s aluminum
volume control, with its reassuringly solid feel. Or the matching aluminum front
panel which gives the CS
-
220 a refined look that will last long into the future.

OMF Diaphragm Woofer & Aero Acoustic Drive
for Natural-Sounding Bass
Onkyo’s redesigned A
-
OMF speaker diaphragms are stronger,more heat-resistant
and provide improved transient response.With their vibration-absorbing pure
cotton weave and thin yet rigid flexing diaphragms,A
-
OMF cones deliver superb
mid-range clarity and imaging. Our original Aero Acoustic Drive technology,
meanwhile, brings a new refinement to our existing bass-reflex speaker design.
Oblong rather than circular, the Aero Acoustic Drive more effectively cut off
high-frequency interference that can adversely affect your bass signal.With the
CS
-
220, you’ll enjoy smoother, more authentic bass.
