Jorge Most surround sound units and home theatre units will not give you surround unless they are supplied with a surround signal ien satellite or dvd otherwise the best you can expect is stereo. Many units will give you an artificial surround in the "virtual mode" or"shadow" or "midnight" modes. These modes usually are not as loud as true surround and you don't get quite the same separation. To truly check for surround you should supply the unit with a surround signal. HTH All of us at one time or another have chased our tails because of a misconception---we are only human.
