Original Prologic had mono surround (no rear steering)
Ummm.... No steering between lr and rr maybe, but steering from front to back, back to front, that was the point of "logic steering."

With the addition of the Centre channel, the distribution of sound elements becomes clearer In addition, by installing the adaptive matrix circuit into the playback side, Pro Logic emphasises the sound directions.

I agree that the surround track was still mono, though.
..but I was incorrect about Pro-Logic II. According to the Dolby website, Pro-Logic II *IS* intended for regular ol' stereo.
BTW, hi everyone. In no way was I trying to insult anyone, or ruffle feathers, or anything like that. I'm a recording engineer and audiophile, and I was attempting to offer some insight.
Anxiously awaiting the Magnolia Fan DVDs myself,
