What is an "AV receiver"?
An AV receiver is a device used to manage and process audio and video signals in home entertainment systems. It receives signals from various sources, like a TV, Blu-ray player, or game console, and sends the processed audio to speakers and the video to the display, such as a television or projector. AV receivers often include features like surround sound processing, volume control, and input switching, allowing users to easily manage and enjoy high-quality audio and video from multiple devices.
Examples
The AV receiver automatically switches to the correct input when I turn on my gaming console.
