What are AV Receivers?
An AV receiver is the heart of any Home Theatre system. It is an all in one box pre-amplifier, tuner and power amplifier. AV receivers have the ability to decode various formats used for audio/video. Common formats include Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES, and DTS Neo:6. An AV Receiver provides an easy and cost effective way of centralising your Home Theater system.
