- Many A/V receivers allow multi-room speaker setups. That is, they can
- play different sources in different rooms at the same time, using the
- extra amplifiers that are not in use when not in pro-logic mode.
-
- Many can record a video or audio source (or both) in the background
- while another source is watched or heard.
-
- Of course, most are now pro-logic, so you can hook up 5 or 6 speakers
- and get theatre quality (actually much better than most theatres)
- sound.
-
- They're great gadgets.
