Could you please explain what a receiver does apart from having a remote and radio, as opposed to an amplifier? Most DVD players have Dolby DTS & Dolby Digital, so if that was playing the DVD, wouldn't you still be able to have a 5.1, or whatever, setup using just an amplifier such as the A300?
Is the receiver just for plugging a bunch of stuff into: for example if I have an XBox, Gamecube, and DVD/CD Player plugged into the receiver it will do them all, whereas with an amplifier I would have to plug in the XBox to use it, then unplug that and plug in the DVD player to use it etc?
And I'm also guessing you can't have an amo hooked up to your speakers, and in turn hooked up to a receiver in order to gain the better sound quality of the amp, with the features of the receiver?
Basically I just don't understand why you can't use a receiver with a home theater sort of setup. If I had a 2.1 setup, then would I be able to have it set up with my TV, or still no?
