Dolby SR, the 2-channel analog format on the film, isn't 5.1. It's 4.0 with Left, Center, Right front channels and Mono surround.

Dolby Surround aka ProLogic, was later enhanced with Prologic II which provided a higher bandwidth and rear left+right matrix.

Was that ever released for film use? I don't recall seeing any prints referring to ProLogic or ProLogic II during my time as a student film projectionist. If so, it was highly backwards compatible since our decoder was only SR (analog 4.0 matrix).

The prints would generally come with SR (analog 4.0) and SR-D (Bitmaps between the sprockets). Most of the time you'd also get DTS CDs and about 40-50% of the prints we got (in Stockholm) had SDDS, though I think there were maybe like 5 SDDS theatres in Sweden.
