DOLBY VIRTUAL TECHNOLOGY
"Dolby Virtual Speaker technology is a highly sophisticated audio virtualization technology that makes it possible to enjoy natural, realistic 5.1-channel surround sound from just two stereo speakers. Dolby Virtual Speaker transforms TV, movies, and music into a thrilling surround sound experience, bringing surround sound to anyone with a two-speaker system. "
What I am trying to figure out is, why should I buy full HTS when I can use this technology and make a smaller hole in my pocket with the same levels of sound and if ppl can recommend any DVD players using this. I know one from Denon D-M51DVS. Also no clutter in our living rooms and yes, we dont need to feel surrounded by speakers and ofcourse no web of wires in the room.
I have also added below few more FAQ's from the DOLBY site so that people have clarity while reponding to this thread.
Who will benefit from Dolby Virtual Speaker?
Dolby Virtual Speaker is perfect for anyone who wants to experience full, rich surround sound. Dolby Virtual Speaker is ideal for the new flat-panel displays and for any system in an apartment, dorm room, or other small space where the cost or installation of multiple speakers and wiring is impractical.
Are special speakers required for Dolby Virtual Speaker?
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology can be used with any pair of stereo speakers, including speakers made specifically for PCs. Of course, a powerful amplifier and high-quality speakers will give you better sound.
Are TV sets with built-in, closely spaced speakers suitable for Dolby Virtual Speaker?
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology works very well with your TV’s built-in speakers, especially those in widescreen monitors and HDTV sets. In fact, Dolby Virtual Speaker’s Wide mode makes the speakers sound further apart than they actually are.
Can Dolby Virtual Technology be added to a TV set or other playback system?
Generally speaking, yes. A DVD player equipped with Dolby Virtual Speaker can be connected to the analog audio inputs of a TV set (or other playback system) to create surround sound.
