Digital-silence.com have fired off an email to James Joseph Arnold, Director of Public Relations for Dolby Labs to try and get a bit more info on Dolby's new Virtual Speaker technology. Here's a snip: Dolby Virtual Speaker technology is a proprietary process that can be included in a wide variety of products (such as DVD players, TV sets, PCs, personal speaker systems, and home theater systems) to provide a true-to-life 5.1 surround-sound experience with just two speakers. Working in conjunction with Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, it enhances the playback of any program material, from 5.1-channel DVDs and satellite programming to stereo music CDs and MP3 files.
