Dolby Digital
This movie theater sound format is more 
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this 
format, the surround speakers output stereo 
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a 
subwoofer channel for deep bass is 
independently provided. This format is also 
called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel 
designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions 
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six 
channels in this format are recorded separately 
for superior channel separation....
