Lt/Rt

(Redirected From Left Total / Right Total Stereo)

Lt/Rt (Left total / Right total) stereo indicates two channels of program that exist as an encoded matrix of four to six discrete source channels. When decoded with Dolby® Pro-Logic, the two-channel matrix will play back as LCRS (left, center, right, surround). When decoded with Dolby® Pro-Logic II, the two-channel matrix will play back as LCRLsRsLFE (left, center, right, left surround, right surround, LFE). Lt/Rt, program material, whether encoded with 4, 5 or 6 source channels, should be compatible to decode with Pro-Logic or Pro-Logic II. Lt/Rt tracks are also designed to sound natural in a two channel monitoring environment (that is, as L/R stereo).

Additionally, any two channel stereo program that was originally intended to be played as Left/Right only, but that plays back appropriately decoded through Pro-Logic/Pro-Logic II, can be designated as Lt/Rt.
