1/0 Mono: Single front channel, no surround channels. For a two-channel system, the signal is reproduced equally from both channels attenuated 3 dB. For a 5.1-channel system, the signal is reproduced from the center channel (L, R, LS, RS channels are not used).

2/0 Stereo: Left and right channels, no center or surround channels. For a two-channel system, the signal is reproduced equally from the L, R channels. For a 5.1- channel system, the signal can either be reproduced from only the L, R channels or, optionally, from L, C, R, S (see Dolby Srnd Mode).

3/0: Left, center, and right channels, no surround channels. For a two-channel system, the L, R signal is reproduced equally from the L, R channels; the center channel is attenuated 3 dB and sent to the L, R channels. For a 5.1- channel system, the signal is reproduced by the L, C, R channels.

2/1: Left, right, and surround channels. For a two-channel system, the L, R signal is reproduced equally from the L, R channels; the surround channel is attenuated 3 dB and sent to the L, R channels. For a 5.1-channel system, the signal is reproduced by the L, R, S channels. This is an extremely un- common format.

3/1: Left, center, right, and surround channels. For a two-channel system, the L, R signal is reproduced equally from the L, R channels; the center and surround channels are attenuated 3 dB and sent to the L, R channels.
