Get the Most Channels, Resolution & Power for Your Home Theater 

The AV receiver is the brains of the home theater. A receiver takes in audio and video signals and then sends them to the respective speakers and displays. All home theater components—surround sound speakers, projector, Blu-ray player, gaming consoles—connect to the receiver so everything works in unison. 

A receiver is essential to use anything more than built-in TV speakers or a soundbar. And if you’re looking for the best, leading manufacturers like Marantz and Sony have released all-new home theater receivers. 

Here’s what makes a “good receiver” and why these picks stand out for your University Park, TX, home theater.
