High Definition TV
allows enhanced audio as well as HD video and this includes Dolby
Digital™ 5.1 surround sound. The 5.1 means five speakers and
one subwoofer to envelope you in sound. Two front speakers and two rear
speakers put you in the center of the action. A fifth, center-channel
speaker is positioned above or below your TV. The subwoofer can be
placed anywhere in the room, and delivers the low-frequency bass
effects to complete the big cinema sound experience. A surround sound
system is usually completed with a "receiver" box that controls the
sound for all the speakers. To maximize your HD Television set-up,
