Do I need an AV receiver with the GVD-2800?

No. It is a powered speaker system, so the amplification is built in and you connect sources directly.

Can I connect it to a modern TV?

Only through analog or Bluetooth options. There is no HDMI or optical input, so check your TV's outputs first.

Yes. You can stream from a phone, tablet or computer over Bluetooth.

Yes. There is a 1/8-inch headphone jack on the unit.

Treat 1000 W as a peak marketing figure. Expect loud output, but clean power per channel is lower.

Budget buyers who want loud, simple home theater sound and do not need HDMI switching or advanced surround decoding.
