As you say it takes a stereo source and creates more channels from it.

I know that you already knew this but just thought I’d point out the slight mistake :)

EDIT: Oh and i never listen to CD's in surround unless they were mixed that way. Even then i'm not crazy about it, seems to Gimmicky imo and i prefer the instruments aren't 'seperated'
