Actually, I'm getting it. It says "stereo or surround encoded 2-channel audio." So I'll give you the surround encoded 2-channel audio (like 2-channel PCM meant for Pro Logic decoding), but if the source material is 2-channel, it should be left as such. You might get some interesting (perhaps even preferable) effects if processed, but they're unintended, and possibly unfavorable.
My real confusion with synthetic surround sound is it's implementation. Even if these actually do a good job at simulating surround sound, does that, combined with watching a movie on a 2 (or even 13) inch screen, make you "feel like you're there"?
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
