Makradar Devices / / December 19, 2019
Today in our rubric iLike got the device from a rather specific category. It's about AV-receiver Sherwood R-807, which, in addition to standard for such devices function allows to stream video and audio content to a home theater directly to iPhone, iPod or iPad.
For those who are not quite clear about the meaning and place of AV-receiver in the park home appliances, we briefly explain the possibility of such devices. Simply put, AV-receiver - a "smart heart" of the home theater that connects all of reproducing video and audio equipment. Smart it because not only translates the signal to a TV (or projector) and speaker system, but also pre-processes it to produce the highest quality output.
Thus solved the problem of the lack of the TV of an interface, or a lack of ports, and minimized suffering cinephile and a music lover at the meeting with the insufficient quality recording. Sherwood softly and gently adjusts the low-resolution video at FullHD TV and a well-laid out on the canals even miserable stereo, amplify sound and simultaneously bringing it to an acceptable quality.

Friendship with iOS
Now you need to tell apart and detail about why this receiver was in the field of our attention. This, of course, talking about the possibility of Stream content from iOS-devices. The fact that we have not previously encountered with the presence of such features in the devices of this class, therefore, have got to understand the "exclusives". In practice, the translation is very simple: we put on iOS-device free app Sherwood Remote and connect to the receiver via Wi-Fi (yes, R-807 is equipped with a Wi-Fi module and Ethernet-port, is able to distribute the Internet and successfully replaces the Wi-Fi router). That's all, now it is possible to stream a user library on your favorite big screen and classroom acoustics.
Regarding the appearance of some complaints we did not have. Black mirror surface combined with strict controls and "stylish" red screen perfectly with any modern technology.
The price for Sherwood R-807 in Yandex. Market is an average of 19 thousand rubles. True sound connoisseurs may argue that the "real" equipment in this class is a higher price range, but from the standpoint of practice, we say this: for my money, this unit is able to and even more more. To buy something more expensive - a personal choice, and Sherwood R-807 just great to perform its functions. Taking into account the long-term support for 4K format, which in the foreseeable future will come to replace FullHD, this receiver will be relevant for many years more.
