CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on AV receivers. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of av receiver.
Entry level AV receivers (under $300)
Audio/video receivers differ quite a bit from old audio-only stereo receivers you might be familiar with. Almost all models have the baseline home theater capabilities: video switching, 7.1 channels of sound, and basic Dolby and DTS surround decoding. And even many inexpensive receivers now utilize HDMI inputs and outputs, which offer the potential for all-digital audio and high-def video hook-ups on a single cable.
Entry-level receivers can handle the basics pretty well. Almost all of them offer 7.1 channels and come with the standard array of Dolby and DTS surround-processing modes. Power ratings run from 50 to 100 watts per channel--but be aware that these numbers are often exaggerated.
Connectivity options are usually adequate for most systems, and receivers in this price range are even starting to include HDMI connectivity. Be sure to read the fine print though--most receivers in this price range may not accept audio signals via HDMI and probably won't convert analog video sources to HDMI output.
