Our AV receiver collection features models from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Onkyo, and JBL covering everything from entry-level 5.2-channel receivers up to flagship 11.4-channel home theater processors with full Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and 8K HDMI 2.1 support.

What Is an AV Receiver?

An AV receiver sometimes called an AVR or surround receiver is the brain of your home theater. It takes in video and audio signals from your TV, streaming box, game console, and Blu-ray player; decodes surround formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X; and powers your speakers and subwoofer. A modern AV receiver also handles HDMI 2.1 for 8K and 4K/120Hz gaming, room correction (Audyssey, Dirac Live, or YPAO depending on brand), and multi-room music streaming over Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, or HEOS.

How to Choose the Right AV Receiver

Three things drive the decision: channel count (5.2, 7.2, 9.2, or 11.2 based on how many speakers and Atmos height channels you want), HDMI features (8K and HDMI 2.1 if you have a current-gen console or 4K/120 TV), and room correction. Denon and Marantz offer the most refined room correction at every price point. Yamaha AVENTAGE is a great pick if you want premium build quality and YPAO calibration. Onkyo delivers strong value, and JBL is a smart match for JBL-based home theater systems.
