HOME THEATER SETUP (SURROUND SOUND SPEAKER SETUP)

Home Theater Setup (Surround Sound Speaker Setup) I am going to assume that you already have a surround sound or home theater amplifier or receiver. There are 3 main home theater speaker configurations which you will see termed 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 channel surround. You will also see mentioned the terms Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro-Logic. There are some other formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro-logic IIx, Dolby TrueHD, DTS neo:6.1, DTS-ES, TrueSurround XT, and undoubtedly more, but they do not need to be addressed separately as the information below is also relevant for them. Let's dispense with Dolby Pro-Logic first: if your receiver is only Pro-Logic (only older receivers at this point) you do not need to worry about 6.1 or 7.1 surround because your system can't use the extra speakers.

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH 5.1 SURROUND SOUND MUSIC?

A few years ago 5.1 surround sound DVD video players looked likely to become standard kit in every living room in the technology friendly world.
