You can plainly hear it on LD because they simply ran the 6 track mix through a Dolby prologic encoder. if you added in two extra speakers in the front and were somehow able to feed them in, it would recreate the proper experience …

So, Kubrick’s sound guys were only outputting 2 track stereo, at most, and mixed-in mono’s. And the laserdisc’s soundtrack has the original 6 channel’s Left/Center/Right/Surround …

LDDb - 2001:ASO Criterion Collection laserdisc - Digital & Analog tracks

… but not those deliberately mixed Left-Center/Right-Center channels. Is that true, or just a good assumption?

Then are the DVD’s (and HD’s) following the same laserdisc approach? Or are they a total rework from which we can extract nothing useful (for rebuilding the original 6 tracks)?
