I've got a Sony with virtual surround sound but I must admit I have NEVER tried it because I have a seperate 6.1 setup.
I'll give it a go and report back!

what is the pointof 6.1 if all the dvd movies that come out only support 5.1?

[cyberdude]

Dolby Virtual Surround is just a Virtual Surround, with 2 built in speakers, trys to trick you in thinking theres 4 speakers connected, however does not do a good job,

if you want proper surround invest in a amp and 5 or 6 speakers.

They don't....many now have DTS-ES and DD-EX which are 6.1
