An AV receiver allows you to connect devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, media streamers, cable/satellite boxes, and even turntables.
These inputs are then processed and routed to the appropriate outputs, from multi-channel speaker systems to televisions and projectors.
One of the key responsibilities of AV receivers is to decode advanced surround sound audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. They also handle video processing, enabling compatibility with cutting-edge HDR formats such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
By doing so, AV receivers deliver an immersive and dynamic movie-watching experience that truly offers cinema rivalling audio quality at home in your living room.

FAQs
What does an AV Receiver do?
AV Receivers perform fundamental tasks such as audio and video processing, amplification of speaker channels and decoding surround sound formats (Dolby Atmos, DTS:X). AVRs receive information from source devices and distribute this to the required outputs.
Do I need an amplifier if I have a receiver?
You do not need an amplifier for your AV system if you already have an AV receiver. AV receivers typically include built-in amplification capabilities; they have dedicated amplifier channels that power the speakers in your surround sound system.
Do AV Receivers make a difference in sound quality?
AV Receivers make a significant difference in sound quality. Key determining factors include build quality, power per channel (measured in watts), and the inclusion of room calibration software. These elements impact aspects such as frequency response and dynamic range, which improve the audio fidelity.
