The CD's that have surround will be clearly marked as having it; 99.99% do not. What you're hearing is probably your system creating a signal to send to the rear speakers. Set you system to "Stereo" or "Direct" and you'll hear it only from the fronts. Set it to "Simulated" or "Digital Signal Processing" or "Hall" or "Club' (every mfgr uses different terms - but you get the picture) and you'll hear the rear speakers but it will not be true surround sound.
