Because borders are typically Iess costly than wallpaper, and far more easy to maneuver, they' ve become a flexible tool for injecting a different personality into each room in the house. Among the hot looks are garden motifs, lîcensed designs (such as sports team insignias and cartoon characters), and ethnic patterns. Borders have become a way for people to express themselves, be creative, and make design statements without dominating a room.

Question:' How does my Dolby Surround Sound receiver senid different sounds ta five different channels when my television, HiFi VCR and Laser Dise player have only two available sound channels? Answer: Home vide o has two channels, flot five, however, a Dolby Prologie Surround receiver is capable of sending different sounds ta five channels.
