At the time that the film was in production various "Quadraphonic" (four speaker) sound systems were being marketed to the domestic HiFi market . Some of these were so - called "matrix" systems which combined the four original channels into two which could be recorded on or transmitted by, existing two - channel stereo systems such as LP records or FM radio . John Mosely used one of these systems (QS Regular Matrix from Sansui) to record front left, front right, back left and back right channels on the left and right tracks of a four - track magnetic striped print of the Cinemascope type . A discrete center channel was also recorded on the center track of the print . The fourth (surround) track on the striped print was left unused . In addition, John Mosely used dbx noise reduction on the magnetic tracks . </P> <P> Unlike the usual multiple small surround speakers used in cinemas, the Quintaphonic system specified just two rear speakers, but of the same type as those used at the front . </P>
