front-back reversal

Actually, what a 6.1 speaker system does is (to sometimes) cause rear back sounds to seem as though they're coming from the front. The (front) center channel always sounds as though it's coming from the front. There's no problem with this channel.

What a 7.1 speaker system does, by using two speakers for that same back channel, is to allow the back channel sound to come from where it's supposed to -- the rear of the room.
