What is the official 5.1 classification for a home theater system?

not exactly sure if this is what you mean... but a 5.1 system uses 6 channels (5 for audio, one for the low bass frequency dubbed .1)

a 5.1 system contains a center channel, a left channel, right channel (front) and a left and right channel for the rears (5 speakers) plus a subwoofer (.1)

Sorry for my english. But i found this. What options u guys use? And what options for the 7.1 home theater system.

5.1 is the simple surround sound for home theaters, most people use this.
7.1 is almost the same, except there are 4 speakers around you, 2 beside and 2 in back.

Most people have 5.1, I have a 7.1.

I hope that helps.

Yes thanks because i wanted also a 7.1 but if there is not so much difference then the 5.1 is great.
