A receiver will have surround processing, video and audio switching as well as a multichannel amp. An amp is a separate component that simply amplifies the signal, with no switching or surround processing abilities.Nazmul Islam Tipu said:

Not quite, you could say -
A receiver has an amp, an amp does not have a tuner.
A receiver is an amp, but an amp is not a receiver. (Which is what I think you were going for.)
