If so, the signal wouldn't be compatible to mono ;), everything would be
lost in "2 channels added to mono" and they claim to be backward
compatible. Just playing one channel can't work, since they do hard
surround effects, so there's the need to add both channels to mono.
The whole theory is grotesque. Dolby surround can't sound good, since
there's no way to handle all the standards that way.
