I saw some Quadraphonic cd's the other day and wondered if they one play properly on a 5.1 system.
Also there was another thread about the direction of music formats and the quad stuff got me wondering why music hasn't taken the, more channels route like movies.
Does anyone know what the different Dolby formats and dts means? I saw a Denon 5.1 system that only had three speakers. How could that possibly work?
Quadraphonic CD'S on 5.1 System, etc.?

As far as I know, you need 6 speakers for a 5.1 system....front left/right, rear left/right, center and subwoofer.
The difference between dolby digital and DTS is that dolby comresses the audio at a 12 to 1 ratio, and DTS compresses at a 4 to 1 ratio.
That's why DTS sounds sooooo much better IMHO
