surround sound & sound effects

Dolby Digital Surround
The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connection of
all five speakers (front left, centre, front right, surround right,
surround left) for correct surround sound reproduction.
This 5.1 channel digital surround format allows for five
individual full-range (20Hz - 20kHz) channels plus an LFE
(Low Frequency Effects) channel for the low-range (20Hz -
120kHz) effects. It creates a realistic sound similar to
theatre and cinema. A large number of DVD discs have
recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially
encoded two channel analogue format that will produce
sound through four speaker channels (front left, centre,
front right, mono surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic
Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems
but the user will only have two channels (Front Left &
Right) of sound.
Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby 3 Stereo produces sound through three speaker
channels (front left, centre, front right) from a two channel
analogue signal. It is not a surround format, so it does not
require surround speakers.
Stereo
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left
and right speakers. This enables standard stereo
reproduction.
