1.) AN AV RECEIVER

The AV receiver is the most critical piece of equipment in your home theater. A receiver processes all your input channels (media sources), output channels (speakers) and networking connections. It receives all your video and audio signals and outputs them to the correct place (i.e., your screen or speakers). Your home theater receiver should have enough inputs to play several sources — like streaming, Blu-ray, video games, downloads, etc. — and generate enough power to support multiple speakers.
