Abstract

A network is described which processes two channel stereophonic sound programs for playback through left, right and center sound reproduction channels. Use of the network allows certain advantages of a three channel program to be obtained from the two channel program. The network delays the left and right channels to give precedence to the center channel information but reduces the level of this information to enable the left and right channels to establish a stereo image.
