What do you want to know?

Dolby has been involved in professional and home audio since the early 70's.

Dolby 5.1 is the "reference" standard for encodeing the sonic information for 4 channel sound plus a center channel into a streo audio track.

Most home setups consist of 6 speakers.
front left and right
rear left and right
center channel (dialog)
and a sub-woffer for the deep base.

Systems range from $200 to $1,000,000

My personal recomendation is to work with a local small dealer that specializes in Audio and Video systems. While the price will be a little higher than the super-stores, the personal advice and equipment quality are well worth it.

Here is a good place to start for detailed information on Dolby technology.
