[sci.electronics] Surround Sound

sehr@sp20.csrd.uiuc.edu (David C. Sehr) (06/27/90)

There are a lot of products out now advertising ``Dolby Surround'',
``Surround Sound'', or ``Dolby Pro-Logic Surround'' as well as a growing
number of videotapes with surround sound.  Can anyone point me to
references that discuss how this encoding is accomplished, and maybe
to a circuit to decode such a signal?  I'm not sure I believe it's
as realistic as the rec.audio folks seem to think, but it might be
interesting to see...

Thanks in advance,

David

I am looking for a surround sound converter.  I would like to be able
to listen to movies and such in surround sound thru my receiver.  My
VCR is only mono and I am wondering if I can hook some kind of surround
decoder to my cable box and then have it output surround to go to the
receiver.  If you know of any place that sells these please leave me
e-mail (as I usually don't read this group).  Thanks...
