AV Receiver
Overview
An AV receiver is the hub of a home theater or stereo system, switching sources and powering the speakers. It shines on a media console shelf in a living room or rec room, centered between the speakers it drives.
Sizing & placement
It is 17 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 6 inches tall. Receivers run warm, so leave several inches of open air above and behind it, and allow space at the back for speaker and HDMI cables. It can sit on a media console, shelf, or table.
Where it works
Living rooms, media rooms, and rec rooms; any home theater or stereo setup.
