Stereos use basic left and right speakers. In 4 channel stereos the add in 2 more channels to move the sound around you. In 5 channel surround they add a center channel for voice coming from a picture generated in from of you. Helps pull you to the person talking on the screen. 5.1 utilizes this and then adds the .1 which is an effects speaker, the subwoofer. Then you feel the roar of an engine taking off.
