Have LG hd tv 47 lcd, with a LG dvd ht player. Player is up converting player. TV has like 3 open hdmi slots in back. am thinking about adding a A/V receiver. Not sure exactly what the benefits of adding one to the set. from what little Ive read it enhances the video and ampilfies the audio. You can even add amps to the system. Sounds like a car audio sytem. A/V receivers dont already amp sound?? The dvd player says it amps the sound,,, not so sure myself. So how many watts do most A/V put out for sound??
Got more questions............but not writting a book. thanks :ponder:

Hello,
Most people just use the amplification that is in AV Receivers. If using difficult to drive Speakers or in a large room, some prefer to add an outboard amplifier to an AVR. Note that many entry level AVR's do not even have preamp outputs that are necessary to add an amplifier in the first place. Also, especially with entry level AVR's, the rated power is nowhere close to the actual power.

If you purchase an AVR, you will need to purchase Speakers to go along with it. The advantages to this over the Speakers in a Panel HDTV are huge. With current AVR's being HDMI equipped, many choose to connect all HDMI Components into the AVR and use it to switch Sources with the only HDMI Cable going to your TV being the HDMI Monitor Out of the AVR.
Cheers,
JJ
