Where you might want to stick a 2 speaker surround sound system. It seems surround sound virtualization and DVD upscaling are the two popular buzz words for the home theater industry as several products keep popping up involving one or the other or both.

This one has both. The upscaling is good for up to 720p or 1080i. The virtual surround sound is provided via Sony’s S-Force PRO Front Surround technology.

Other features include 480 watts of power and the option to upgrade with a Bluetooth adapter allowing music to be streamed between another Bluetooth device and this system. Box contents are pretty minimal, the unit is only 2 small speakers, the receiver, and the rest I would be guessing about, but probably a radio antenna, remote, and some instruction manuals.

Price and availability are not known, but rumor is it will be dropping around September.
