The AV receiver is a central component in a home theater or audio system, providing essential features and high-quality performance for audio and video processing. The Onkyo TX-RZ50 is arguably the best value AV component that is currently on the market. If you can get this receiver for under $1000, it's a steal! The RZ50 can go toe to toe with receivers that cost 2-3 times more.
