When a 5.1 encoded audio signal is received by a 5.1 decoder, it separates the signal into its six constituent channels. The decoder then processes and plays back each channel through a corresponding speaker, creating an immersive audio experience. The five full-range channels provide a wide range of audio frequencies, while the LFE channel adds depth and bass to the overall sound.
