I’ve got an HDTV — what kinds of features should I look for in a receiver?
Today’s home theater receivers all offer HDMI switching so you can connect multiple high-def sources. If you’d like a really simple, one-cable connection from your receiver to your HDTV, look for a model with HDMI conversion or upconversion. These receivers can take video signals from any source and send them to your TV via one HDMI cable. Receivers with HDMI upconversion can even scale those signals to a higher resolution, like 1080p. If you’ve got a 3D-ready TV, you should also look for a 3D-capable home theater receiver that can pass 3D video signals to your set. See our article on choosing a home theater receiver for more info.
