He indicated that the CDS was created using a Dolby Stereo encoder/decoder to create a surround channel. That means that the CDS would most likely have mono surrounds. That's important to note because even though CDS supports full 5.1, Terminator 2's CDS track would be 4.1

I may be misunderstanding what you're saying, but he specifically said "for the music".

 Very true but then he talks about stereo-izing the effects from the re-mix so it implies mono surrounds for music and effects. And dvdmike is right, most CDS are 4.0/4.1 (like Edward Scissorhands). Also the Live DVD is 4.1 so that is either from the theatrical 4.1 master or someone up-mix a Dolby Stereo mix.

At the end of the day I'm all for getting a print if someone can swing it. Changes or not I always love to hear the pure theatrical sound.
