- Does the SA45 need a separate streamer?
- No. Streaming is built in, so it can pull music over your network from supported services and local libraries. A phone or computer can also feed it over the network or a digital input.
- Can I connect a TV to it?
- Yes. The HDMI ARC input takes the TV's audio and plays it through your stereo speakers. The TV remote can usually control volume over ARC.
- What can I plug into it?
- It has an HDMI ARC input, digital inputs for the built-in DAC, analog inputs and a 1/8-inch headphone jack. It drives one pair of stereo speakers.
- Is it good for movies or just music?
- It is a stereo amplifier, so it plays two channels, not surround. With HDMI ARC it handles TV and film audio well in a 2.0 or 2.1 setup.
- Does it have room correction?
- No. There is no automatic room correction, so speaker placement and room treatment do the work. That keeps setup simple but asks more of your room.
- What speakers suit it?
- It has enough power for most stand-mount and floorstanding speakers in a normal room. Very low-sensitivity or hard-to-drive speakers may want more current.
