MPEG Audio is the standard for audio compression technology devised by MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group).

Based on MPEG1, which uses 2 channels, MPEG2 enables a maximum of 7.1 channels of digital surround sound.

With 7.1-channel digital surround technology, seven discrete channels are available for storage and playback of sound. They consist of five front channels (LL, LC, CC, RC and RR from left to right) and two rear channels (LS and RS).These, plus the 0.1 sub-woofer for heavy bass, add up to a grand total of 7.1 channels.
