	"In 70mm and 6-track Dolby Stereo"
		Dolby´s noise reduction system, known as Type A, was applied to studio recordings of film sound in the early 70s, and subsequently also applied for stereo presentation in cinemas a few years later.
		Dolby Digital also is bringing excitement to home listeners via the audio tracks on DVD, and would be the standard audio on the new high definition television (HDTV) system proposed for implementation in the United States if it ever catches on with the public.
		Dolby Laboratories' corporate headquarters, housing research and development, marketing, licensing and administrative staff, is located in San Francisco's historic Potrero Hill district, in a renovated brick warehouse dating from the early 1900s.

		Dolby Stereo or simply Dolby Analog is the original analog optical technology developed for 35 mm prints and is encoded with four sound channels: Left/Center/Right (which are located behind the screen) and Surround (which is heard over speakers on the sides and rear of the theatre) for ambient sound and special effects.

		Dolby Surround: this has three channels, two for the front and one for the rear, with a bandwidth of 100 Hz to 7 kHz.
		Dolby Pro Logic: this is an enhancement of Dolby Surround with four channels, including a center channel and two elements sharing a channel for the rear sound.
		On restitution, the Dolby Digital decoder transmits with a delay of one millisecond on the front channels because the listening position is usually closer to the rear speakers than the front or center ones.

		May 1, 2004, Akron, Ohio--Ray Dolby was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame today in recognition of his invention of the Dolby® noise reduction system that electronically reduces the tape hiss and other noise inherent in analog audio tape recording and playback.

		Ray Dolby received a BS in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1957 and a PhD in physics from Cambridge University in 1961.

	Home Theater: Surround Revisited
		The Dolby Surround signal format drove the growth of surround in the home with Dolby Pro Logic, which uses matrixing to derive front-center and rear-surround signals from the front left and right channels.
		Dolby moved beyond the matrixing trick to develop a new format that delivered each channel discretely using what is commonly called "compression," although "data reduction" might be more precise.
		Dolby, of course, hotly disputes this, and the two companies have traded shots in various white papers memorable mainly for their amusingly polemical tone.
