My brother has a Nasa DVD of the first lunar landing which has a Dolby 5.1 soundtrack. All of the different communications channels are in different speakers (left/center/right/rear-left/rear-right) and the amount of chatter back and forth as the lander approaches is incredibly dense. Quite a trip to watch and listen to. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
