Home Theater Receiver
By Ari Taufan
Home theater receiver is said to be the brains and power behind most home theater systems. It takes codes and signals from radio, cds, dvds, tv or other sources, decodes them, amplifies them and sends them to the speakers. Home theater inputs are considered the brains of your entire home theater set up, because they provide inputs for all your components and speakers, whether they connect via speaker cable, rca cable, (high definition multimedia interface), optical ports and other auxiliary ports and interfaces. The component video inputs offer higher picture quality and allows you to enjoy three different sources without having to change connections.
However, many receivers are loaded with additional features that transform them into the theater’s hubIt can not only power your speakers and let you listen to high quality sound from your audio sources, but it also can provide the decoding necessary for surround sound, serve as a switch between your home theater’s audio/video sources, and can even tailor the sound of your system to fit your room and listening tastes.
Home theater receiver is used to distinguish the simpler stereo receiver from the multi-channel audio video receiver. Some receivers include sophisticated video-processing features, such as upscaling, which optimizes standard-definition video input for display on an hdtv, and others can accept and route audio and video through an all-digital hdmi connection, which means the typical “rat’s nest” of wires found behind a/v gear can be reduced to just a couple of cables. Home theater receiver is the heart of your new home-theater system.
