Fantasound refers to the proprietary surround sound system used by Disney in the 1940's for the movie "Fantasia". Disney's Fantasound technology created a surround sound field with left front, center front, right front, left rear and right rear channels. The main soundtrack incorporated only the front three channels; the two rear channels were recorded on a separate reel of film, and steered in separately when needed.
