to the plot, ie.., gunshots from the rears in shootouts (Heat, Saving Ryan's Privates); but the second benefit is the chance to hear MUSIC in surround, and that my friend IS a whole new world. You would not need a new DVD player for many GREAt surround discs, Seventh Sojourn, On Air, Kind of Blue dual disc, etc. I listnee to "Jazz in Surround" last night (you would need an SACD player) and it is another world alltogether.
Follow Ups:
I have found that, for stereo only material (almost all laserdiscs, a few DVDs, lps, and audio tapes) the Dolby Pro Logic II Music codec is superb in adding a surround feel. I hate the original Pro Logic, finding it harsh and distorted, but Dolby let surround guru Jim Fosgate develop the PL II algorhythym and it is truly musical, better than its DTS competition, surprising since DTS discrete and matrix 5.1 and 6.1 soundly trounces Dolby Digital. You have to just trust your ears. Having heard what PL II Music (which I prefer to PL II Movie) can do for stereo I will never go back to plain stereo.
