Surround Sound Formats
Posted by Mandie,
When you begin to discuss surround sound formats, things can start to get rather complex. A lot of different terms and brand names are applied to everything, and they can therefore become extremely confusing. However, when you come to optimize your home theater, you will be required to have a basic understanding of what the terms mean. Dolby is probably one of the most easily recognized terms when it comes to surround sound. It is necessary to go back several years to discover when the mother of all surround sound encoding schemes began – that of Dolby Surround in 1982. This encodes four analog channels into tow for storage and transmission or both.
