In Reply to: What is a "Receiver" with video switching incorporated called? posted by John C. - Aussie on November 27, 2000 at 15:26:26:

It is an AV receiver that has multiple video outputs that necessitate an internal switching device to let the user choose which video source to use at a given time. It is usually associated with componant video from both a digital satellite receiver and a digital DVD signal source. There is even a digital VHS that just hit the market. Why I don't know? You have to step up into the $800 price range at least to get this feature. Onkyo and Yamaha both make one in this price range. Dennon is at about $1000 and Marantz is much more.
