I just bought an AVR, a Panther pvr-1500. On the website it says this avr is 1500 watts, on the manual it says it's 1500 va.

From what I understand 1500 va does not necessarily mean 1500 watts. in this case, does that mean that 1500 va is equal to 1500 watts? Cuz I know there's still a conversion from VA to Watts etc.
 


But the manual said it's 1500 va while the website said it's 1500w. So I'm assuming PF = 1 then?
