What is a receiver?

A receiver is that big, heavy thing that you plug your speakers and other components into (like a DVD player, TV, CD player, Xbox, PlayStation, iPod, etc.). It is the "brain" of the show, really. The idea of all the components to a receiver is the concept of audio / video switching, allowing you to different video sources (eg TV, DVD, camcorder) on your TV
thus changing the audio source - all without touching anything,but the recipient.

Of course, the main objective behind audio / video is switching is driving a receiver for external audio speakers, like surround sound or stereo speakers.

I will assume that you start a surround sound or home theater receiver and from there. There are 3 main home theater speaker setups that you see are called, 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 channel surround sound. She mentioned also the conditions, Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic. Let's use this first: if your receiver can only dispense only older Pro Logic receiver (at this point) that you need not to worry about 6.1 or 7.1 surround. There are several other formats, such asDolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Neo: 6.1, DTS-ES, True Surround XT, and undoubtedly more.
