Another thing to watch for, particularly if buying online. There were analog surround processors which decoded Dolby Surround or Pro Logic from 2 channel analog inputs. Some of these, confusingly, are prominently labeled as "Digital" because they use a digital delay line for the rear channel rather than the venerable analog bucket brigade delay. They aren't remotely worth what people on eBay are asking. I suspect they're trolling for suckers who mistake them for a Dolby Digital processor or don't know any better.
