An AVR / AUDIO-VIDEO RECEIVER is the brain of any home theatre system and is performing the most important job of processing all the signals that are coming into it, then sending the video to the display and the sound to the speakers or to an external power amplifier.

 

There are various types of AVR's in the market offered by different brands around the globe. Most common of them are brands like DENON, MARANTZ, YAMAHA & PIONEER, depending upon the budget and the kind of sound your prefer to listen to, an AVR is picked up.

​

Every brand has a sound signature of its own so we recommend you to first listen to a DEMO and then pick the one you like as its going to last for ages. If you do not have the option to go to a store and listen to a DEMO, please ASK US and our experts will help you make that purchase decision. They can explain it to you how each brand is different, how each one sounds like and give you the best bang for your buck.

​

Its not always that the more number of channels is always the better as most of the movies are either 5.1 or 7.1  its about how many sound formats i.e. DOLBY, DTS or IMAX etc can the AVR process or how many different types of video signals it can process i.e. 4K ULTRA HD, DOLBY VISION, HDR, HDR10+, IMAX. So any AVR that has 5.1 or 7.1 sound processing capabilities and a FULL HD 1080p for video processing, as most of the consumers will be watching a standard BLURAY (1080p) should be good enough for most of you.

 

As we move forward and talk about the latest movies, they sometimes have the ATMOS channel i.e. the height channel to give you a more immersive experience by adding another dimension to the sound. FLAGSHIP models nowadays have 13.2 CHANNELS (DENON AVC/AVR -X8500H OR  MARANTZ AV8805), 16 CHANNELS  (TRINNOV ALTITUDE 16) or 32 CHANNELS (TRINNOV ALTITUDE 32) processing capabilities that take you to a totally new level and a whole new way the sound can be experienced, giving you the feeling of being present in what is going on in the movie and you feel like if you are an avenger and trying to save the planet.
