The device, somewhat smaller than a VCR, pumps out 30 watts per channel, has "virtual" Dolby Digital (which simulates five-speaker "surround sound") and has a digital signal processor that allows one-button access to a variety of preset audio mixes. CD players have been offering that last feature for a while--you can simulate the echoey acoustic footprint of a church, for instance, or a jazz club, a movie theater...
