What??
It's a very basic entry level avr. There is no point imho in having a projector and then having poor quality sound. Also there is no point in having poor quality sound and video streamed all across your house including the shed, it is far better to have good quality sound and video in one room.
This is why I started off by asking you what budget you had set, to do what you have outlined in the op to a decent quality will cost a fair amount of cash

The 607 is the entry level, still does a good job for that budget though.
The question is what exactly are you trying to achieve?

I just want to be able to sit in the hot tub next to the summer house and stream movies and music up to it. Being outside, I'd expect the wind and other environmental factors to degrade the quality, which is why I'm thinking I don't need the best sound system out there.

Oh I see, my mistake. I thought you were going to build a cinema room in an outbuilding/summer house.
You are of course correct, if that is what you are trying to do then you don't need 5.1/7.1 sound!
I'm not the best person to advice on streaming video so I'll let others do that. I can tell you though that I'm very happy with my Sonos system.
Good luck and I look forward to some pics of the hot tub/summer house when it's built
