5.2 surround is the same as 5.1 but has an extra subwoofer, producing more bass frequencies than a standard 5.1.

ie. 1x Front Left

1x Front Right

1x Back Left

1x Back Right

1x Front Center

2x Subwoofer

The subwoofer channels are the same information on both. 5.2 is not an official surround format, merely an indication that the surround receiver has 2 subwoofer output jacks. You can get the same effect from any receiver by using an RCA splitter and running the signal to 2 subs.

What else can I help you with?
