Surround sound decoding has come a long way over the years. The AVR21 supports 16 channels of surround sound decoding for formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and AURO-3D.

You can run a pretty large surround sound system using just the receiver's seven built-in channels. Or you can take advantage of the many preamp outputs on the rear panel and use a separate amplifier to run an 11.2-channel system. Either way, this receiver accurately reproduces every aspect of a movie's soundtrack, from thunder above, to explosions behind, and front-and-centre action unfolding on-screen.

Streaming music made easy
