Virtual Dolby Surround systems use advanced
”virtualiser” techniques to simulate the soundfield produced by a
Dolby Surround Pro Logic system using only two loudspeakers.

Nicam
The NICAM process consists of sending digital stereo sound
comparable to that from an audio CD via a land based transmitter
in addition to its usual mono equivalent. So by means of the
NICAM process, you can get digital sound with the quality of a
compact disc.
