Your receiver can do a lot more than just hook up speakers

Buying an audio receiver was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I initially grabbed one just to get Dolby Atmos with Apple Music, but I have since unsubscribed from Apple Music. However, just because Apple Music is gone doesn’t mean Dolby Atmos has to be. Atmos is my favorite audio format, and the best way to experience it is through physical media — preferably with a 4K Blu-ray disc. I’ve been building up my 4K collection for several years now, and I haven’t once regretted having an Atmos sound system to go with it. While that’s the main appeal of my receiver, it can do a lot more than just playing audio.
