It works with all advanced high definition Full HD 1920 x 1080p resolution televisions, A/V source components and 1080p home theater projectors. In recent years, all these are an integral part of home theater systems and thus the home theater receivers can easily handle errors in digital audio/video and analog entertainments. The home theater receiver captures signals from a DVD player, VCR and satellite dish, amplifies the received signals and finally forwards them to the output devices like the sound system and the television set.
