True 5.1 Surround Sound?
After listening to a few 5.1 discs, I began to wonder if I was actually hearing true surround sound. I used a DVD that includes a 5.1 test feature, playing a 10-second burst of pink noise from each of the channels.
Front Left, Front Right and Center all sounded fine. The Rear Left and Rear Right bursts, however, each came from Front Left and Front Right. And there seems to be no ".1" channel (sub woofer), either.
I've looked for information in the owners manual, to see if I need to configure the system from stereo to 5.1, but I come up dry.
Has anyone else had this experience?
