Everything relating to Stereo Receivers

If you enjoy listening to music and watching movies, you would love to own a system dedicated to satisfy your musical needs or you may like to build a bombastic home theater system of your own. In either case, one thing that is imperative is a stereo receiver. Stereo receivers not only give audio supply to the speakers of your system, but they also tune in different radio stations, let you switch conveniently between audio/video components, and give you the liberty to shape the sound output in accordance with your preferences.

Stereo receivers are also responsible for providing the decoding that will let you enjoy different video games, television shows, and movies of your choice in surround sound. Not only that, but the most advanced stereo players give you the flexibility of adding music files to the system from your computer, portable MP3, and also the satellite radio. You can even use your PC for controlling and setting up the system of most of the contemporary models of stereo receivers available in the market.


You first have to figure out why you need a stereo receiver in the first place. Whether you want it for stereo use only or you want it to use with your home theater, which almost covers everything in its scope. If you just want to listen to music, you will require one only for stereo use, but if you need surround sound in your TV room, you will require a home theater receiver. Apart from brands, the receiver must have enough wattage to deliver enough power to all the speakers in the loop.

A bigger space requires more powerful speakers to fully cater the expanse. You are required to check the sensitivity of your speakers. Sensitivity is most simply defined as the ability of your speakers to effectually convert electrical power into sound. You must determine if your speakers are matching for the stereo receiver. Only high wattage speakers with higher sensitivity ratings can work well in big areas like dining rooms and lounges.

One other thing that you should consider at the time of purchase is the number of inputs and outputs that that particular stereo receiver has. You will definitely need one that will have enough inputs for all the audio and video components of your system. You can also use any audio/video input of the receiver as an audio only source if you desire. If you have a digital recording device like CD/DVD burner, you will definitely need a compatible digital output. According to the experts, receivers must at least have six pins output.

Since a lot of people desire their stereo receiver for home theater usage, you will need a receiver that you can link up with your video sources, as many television sets do not have sufficient video inputs to accommodate all their components. The video switching capability of your stereo receiver will certainly come in handy in this situation.

So, whenever you go to the market, what you need to look for in a stereo receiver totally depends on your requirements and the equipment you already have. It is better that you browse through various websites before going for shopping.
