• Audio Video Receivers for 2021-2023 The AVR or audio/video receiver is the central hub of a home theater system. This component decodes surround sound and connects to your loudspeakers. Dolby TrueHD and Dolby ATMOS are the newest audio codecs so look for this in any AVR you consider.  An alternative to the AVR is the all-in-one home theater in a box (HTIB) which may not have as much capability but often includes speakers, Bluray player, AM/FM receiver all in one package. Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon, and Sony are top brands. • Home Theater Surround Sound Formats Explained • Surround Sound - How to hookup • How to hookup audio/video receiver • How to hookup Turntable to PC BEST Audio Video Receivers PIONEER VSX-1020K Pioneer VSX-1020-K Receiver: Internet Radio and Portable Connectivity, Multi-Zone Support, and the Latest High-Definition Audio and Video Standards.

HDMI also carries master-quality audio formats from Dolby and DTS, as well as the expanded surround sound of Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry and Onkyos proprietary WRAT ensure a clean and compelling amplifier performance. And when audio signals are output, the 7.2-channel configuration includes twin subwoofer pre-outs for added bass impact. Meanwhile, a user-friendly on-screen display and GUI make it easy to adjust settings and navigate your content. All this and more makes the TX-NR609 an irresistible choice for the value-seeking home theater fan. Connecting your A/V receiver directly to the internet or home PC has never been easier. The TX-NR609 brings to life a wide range of Internet Radio sources such as Pandora, Rhapsody, Napster, Slacker, Sirius Internet Radio, MediaFly, and vTuner with unprecedented power and fidelity. Adding to its tremendous versatility is the TX-NR609's compatibility with Microsoft's Windows7 platform which includes the DLNA "Play To" media-streaming feature. Having your receiver connected to the internet also means you can easily update its firmware. The TX-NR609 offers full 4K (3840 x 2160) upscaling of standard video sources such as 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p. Interlaced-to-progressive conversion and scaling are performed by a high-quality Marvell Qdeo video-processing chip. Qdeo is a versatile video processor that uses algorithms designed to erase video noise and artifacts such as jaggies and feathering. Played back on a compatible widescreen display, your Blu-ray Discs and DVDs will look more detailed and cinematic than ever.  The TX-NR609's front-panel USB port lets audio files stored on your iPod/iPhone or USB flash drive. The convenient on screen display lets you see exactly what is playing. As the audio signals are transported in digital form, rather than analog, there is much less chance for signal degradation. The TX-NR609 also incorporates Onkyo's exclusive Advanced Music Optimizer to compensate for lost bit information and improve the quality of compressed audio signals. The HDMI implementation on this receiver supports both 3D video and an Audio Return Channel. 3D video brings exciting possibilities to home entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast content on the increase and 3D-compatible TVs coming to market. The TX-NR609 also offers the convenience of an Audio Return Channel via HDMI. Audio content received directly by your HDTV's tuner can be sent "upstream" to your A/V receiver, without the need for a separate S/PDIF audio cable. Use PC-IN to easily connect your notebook or mediacenter PC to your Onkyo AV receiver, allowing you to watch your stored movies on your flatscreen TV. You can now easily watch internet videos, PC-stored movies and pictures on your TV. (Audio connectivity may vary depending on your computer hardware, but Onkyo receivers support a wide range of different interfaces.) Video Conversion Video conversion is a feature some AV receivers have which allows lower level video to be converted to a higher level and output to the TV. Usually this means output over HDMI. So a composite video input can be converted to be output over HDMI to the TV instead of a composite video output. • HD RADIO Columbia ISA Audio/Video Empowering consumers through information |
