A 5.1 receiver is an important component of any home theater. A 5.1 receiver supports 5 speakers and a subwoofer. Most new 5.1 receivers support the latest audio standards like Dolby and DTS. Some 5.1 receivers have a built-in DVD player, maybe even a Blu-ray player. You can get a 5.1 receiver for a reasonable price. Some 5.1 receivers cost less than $300 and even include speakers. High end 5.1 receivers cost more but offer better audio, more inputs, and other features not found on low-end 5.1 receivers.

Reviews for this Onkyo receiver (16 user reviews): "Good to get 5.1 surround sound from hi-def movies...Although there are six HDMI inputs, two component inputs and four old-style video inputs on the back panel, the remote only allows selection from amongst five logical inputs: "BD/DVD", "CBL/SAT", "GAME", "PC" and "AUX...I pair this with Onkyo SKS-HT690 5.1 speakers im happy not sure how these speakers compare to others since im not an audiophile but on my way to be one now I bought my Onkyo receiver two years ago because of the good reviews and pricing..."

Reviews for this Yamaha receiver (18 user reviews): "So far so good!! Watched our first Blu-ray Disc with it last night with our surround sound setup and even my wife, who was skeptical of this whole idea, was impressed...The 373 here is basically just a better version of the 371, and I'd recommend it over the older model unless you're adamant on saving a few dollars...I strongly recommend trying it out for people looking at the receiver, and it's a nice upgrade over the 371 model..."

Reviews for this Harman Kardon receiver (11 user reviews): "all in all, a very good selection...I have it connected to a set of 5.1 Harman Kardon speakers and the sound is quite good, the bass is actually amazing (even surpasses my Denon AVR-988 in the quality of the bass...This is a great compromise between price and function, with a beautiful facade on top it..."

Reviews for this Yamaha receiver (112 user reviews): "The Yamaha RX-V371’s wide range of connections, 3D support and auto calibration makes it a terrific choice for beginners on a tight budget...We review our fair share of high-end receivers and speakers here at TrustedReviews, but Yamaha is here to remind everyone that putting together a separates system needn’t be hugely expensive...This unassuming five-channel AV hub may not have the same mind-boggling feature list as the latest network-enabled Onkyos, Denons and pricier Yamahas, but that’s reflected in the bargain basement price tag...Not bad then, but designed very much with simplicity in mind..."

Reviews for this Denon receiver (1 user review.): "I purchased this receiver to replace my old worn out Denon receiver that Ive had for over 15 years...On my old Denon unit, there were A & B speaker selections with enough speaker plug-ins to put in outside speakers and inside surround speakers...At this point I am probably going to install a switch box and wire my outside speaker wires into that and then plug into the zone 2 audio on the back of the receiver..."

Reviews for this Denon receiver (55 user reviews): "This system is fantastic and best bang for your buck great product! This was a fabulous deal, and has so many features that will take me months to figure out...I like it, it's easy to program and use! It's not right to rate the overall review when something isn't right...I have always heard good things about Denon and at this price point was hoping for good things and this receiver did not disappoint..."

Reviews for this Pioneer receiver (1 expert review (rating 80 / 100) • 126 user reviews): "Decent build and looks; good speaker calibration system; weighty sound...Doesn’t sound as exciting or as the class-leader; spec lacks a couple of niceties...Build and appearance are reasonable enough...when the safe starts trashing buildings and cars, the VSX-521 thuds along nicely...The Pioneer is a good home cinema amp for the money, but you can gain spectacular results by spending a little extra......"

Reviews for this Pioneer receiver (5 user reviews): "I needed to replace an old Harman Kardon AVR 510 that served me well for over 10 years but recently developed problems...Overall, considering the price, I am satisfied with this receiver, because it is easy to set up, sounds good, and looks like a high quality device...If you are looking for an entry-level AVR in this price range, I would recommend this Pioneer VSX-522-K (or VSX-521-K , if you need component video) or the Yamaha RX-V373..."
