How A/V Receivers Are Evolving In 2015

May 19, 2015

New audio/video receivers (AVRs) available this year will deliver Dolby Atmos and DTS:X objectbased surround decoding at price points starting as low as a suggested $499, HDMI 2.0a inputs and outputs starting at $499, and HDCP 2.2 copy protection at $279, though at that price, it might be paired with HDMI 2.0 ports rather than 2.0a ports, suppliers indicate. DTS:X capability will be available out of the box in some cases but in others will take the form of a free firmware upgrade later in the year after the AVR ships. AVRs supporting Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing up to nine channels could start at around $1,399, though consumers will have to add an outboard two-channel amp to complement the AVR’s internal seven-channel amp, one supplier said. As for Auro-3D surround decoding, it will be available this year as paid firmware updates in AVRs priced as low at $1,399, the supplier added. - See more at: http://www.twice.com/how-av-receivers-are-evolving-2015/57180#sthash.Bocraq3x.dpuf
