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 fimctions channels from two-channel sound. (ompared with the fomler Dolby Surround system, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reprodnces left-to-right panning more natnrally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker.
