The fact there the rear left and rear right can't produce different sounds doesn't stop it being surround sound.

No I dont think its an in joke, Pro Logic was designed to work with stereo speakers to provide enhanced sound using phase shift techniques to simulate rear speakers. It is a "domestic version" of the four channel systems used in cinemas"
GENERALLY when people on this forum talk about surround sound problems it is to with getting a 5.1 or better, system to work using Dolby Digital as provided on some BBC HD on on demand content.
I can get sound of my rear speakers using a stereo CD input if I select an appropriate sound field.
So apologies if you thought I was being flippant, as technology moves on so does peoples use of terminology. I think "surround sound" is such a loose term, when does expanded stereo become "surround sound"?
Anyway, I hope the OP has been able to connect their system together in a way that they are happy with. The V+ is a clever piece of kit and amongst other things will do Dolby Digital 5.1.
