52 Why do I need all these audio modes? With the wide variety of audio source material ava ilable today, i.e. single channel mono, 2 channel mono, 2 channel stereo, 2 chann el surround and multi-channel encode d au dio, we believe that the reproduction of this material is best handled in audio categories. We have decided to define five “audio mod[...]
