ƒ Inputs and outputs. As the nerve center of your entire A/V system, your receiver needs a good complement of inputs and outputs. Make sure that the type of inputs and outputs matches your other equipment, especially your DVD player, DIRECTV receiver and television. In particular, if you have a High Definition monitor television, look for component video (Y/PB/PR) inputs and outputs that can support 480p and 1080i signals. You'll also want optical or coaxial digital inputs for connecting your DVD player. ƒ Power amplifiers. Make sure the receiver has the number of power amplifiers you need to decode the surround sound you want. Today's receivers offer up to 7 channels of amplification for 7.1-channel surround sound! Sony's Digital Cinema Sound circuitry also reproduces the acoustics of two renowned concert halls, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Vienna Musikvereinsaal, shown here.
