SRS Circle Surround is a patented surround format that allows a 5.1 or 6.1 surround mix to be stored or transferred over any two-channel format, including the stereo track of a DVD. Any listener with a surround sound system will enjoy the original 5.1 mix that the artist and engineers created. This also means that any Circle Surround encoded clip that is broadcast over television or radio, compressed for distribution online, or stored digitally on standard media, such as CDs, DVD-Rs, or personal music juke boxes, will retain the surround sound information. One of the most powerful features of the technology is that it is 100% compatible with all playback environments, from one-speaker mono to two-speaker stereo or multi speaker surround sound. One mix satisfies everyone's listening requirements.
SRS Circle Surround encoding is backward compatible with all playback systems, including mono and stereo formats. Listeners of the Duran Duran DVD who have Circle Surround II or other matrix surround decoder installed, will hear a stunning 5.1 surround sound experience, while those listening over regular two-speaker stereo systems will hear the DVD in enhanced stereo. This DVD, and others like it, contributes to the growing demand by consumers for SRS Circle Surround content, as well as for consumer electronic products with SRS Circle Surround decoding technology. For audio enthusiasts looking for Circle Surround II decoding technology, it is currently available from manufacturers such as Marantz, Panasonic, Pioneer, Kenwood, Motorola and Yamaha.
