AVR-X1700H 7.2 Channel AV Receiver - 80W/Channel, Advanced 8K HDMI Video w/eARC, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Built-in HEOS, Amazon Alexa Voice Control

I needed to replace a 12 year old Sony receiver, spent over 2 weeks reviewing many brands. I finally decided on this Denon, was a little pricey for my budget but definitely the perfect decision. Top quality sound and solid built receiver. Set up was fairly easy yet time consuming but well worth it. I have a 7.1.2 set up in a medium size room, the surround and height speakers create a theater like experience. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade and not spend a fortune.

I'm super glad I ended up buying the Denon. The sound is great and the eArc integration with my TV and DVD players is flawless (albeit rather complicated to setup). The number of HDMI ports is great. I haven't tried the phono input yet but it's inclusion was a major factor in deciding on this model; has both moving coil and moving magnet but you can only use one or the other; not dual phono inputs. The AM and FM tuner section works really well but I can get just about every station over the internet so why bother. I initially had it set up with the wireless ethernet but switch to wired through a switch since the TV and both DVD players also want an ethernet connection. I wish it had more RCA AUX ports for a VCR and cassette player. The audio balancing routine is a nice touch but set up the TV first as it's really difficult to navigate without the on screen prompts. The mic wire needs to be just a little longer for a large room. A USB C connection would be a nice touch but for $400 I couldn't be happier.

Initial setup is straight forward...follow the on screen instructions and you'll be up and running in no time. Sounds quality is amazing! (Naturally, quality speakers are a must.) The first amp I've ever owned where the dialog enhancement actually works. Surround sound modes work really well, even when decoding OTA/streaming broadcasts. 4k pass-through is sharp and lag-free. Bluetooth pairing to your phone is easy and takes about 10 seconds. This is a quality amp for home theater use at a good price point.

Love the features and Denon sound! I’ve had the unit for 3 months. It took about 30 hours of fun before I had it al down. With computer-like selection, these page to page internal maps gradually unleashed a killer sound and variety, with some disappointments (see later in review), but for the money this is a great sounding unit! I have a large bedroom-sized room for music and movies. Incredible upgrade from my previous setup. But BEWARE before you buy this model, that it’s a 7.2 output, including a second zone . The receiver can give you Dolby Atmos, Height and surround backs etc., and a second stereo zone, but you share ONE pair of speaker terminals on the x1700 for all of these extra features. (There are 2 subwoofer outs, but only for the main zone, so it’s really 7.2.) Another nice feature is an excellent phono pre-amp. One quirk. You can’t have a zone 2 set and Dolby Atmos at the same time without going to the back of the receiver and changing the wires. An internal speaker patch would be a great cure for this, but then you could just spend another $500 and get the x3000 9.2 series units with more headroom, too, although this is a punchy little monster through my Linn speakers and a KLH and JBL subs and JBL Studio Monitor 4311 sides. I have one sub behind the listening position so I can reach back and adjust 80-500hz at will. The price went up 10% a few months after I bought it, so beware if you’re on the fence.

Quick and easy installation and setup. Even includes onscreen instructions. I did have one issue though, but nothing overly major. With the media player setup, you can choose either digital or analog. There is zero option for automatic switching.

I bought this to replace a Marantz receiver after it wouldn't work with my new TV (ARC issues.) It took me a few weeks, but I was able to get this working perfectly with my setup. The only issue I had was that I had to use eARC. When I tried to hook up my firetv stick to this and then this to the TV, it would turn off the firestick, and when I turned it back on, the firestick would take a while to boot up so, it wouldn't find it. There really should be a per input option to turn the devices on/off over CeC. Soundwise, it's a little harsher than Marantz for music, the highs are too loud. But this makes surround sound better in movies. The auto setup microphone worked... okay. Except it set the center channel volume down too low. I'm using this with a TCL QM7k TV and Large 7.1 Polk speakers (Monitor II 50s, A center and a sub). Anyway, I got it working right by hooking everything through the TV, and letting that CeC everything. The only tricky part of the setup was that I had to tell the Firestick that the AVR was set to "TV output" when it wasn't. So yeah, it's hard to get it working with everything, but at least it's possible. Which is more than I can say for ANY other brand. The UI is ugly, but who cares?

This is an impressive piece of technology that can do pretty much anything you expect of it, if you can convince it to work The initial setup and UI is about as straightforward as any piece of advanced technology from 1990. Settings are spread across so many different menus and options that it's pretty much expected you'll have to spend hours googling just to get it turned on. Not surprising, but they could have included a better startup guide Adding new devices can be as simple as plugging them in and changing modes. Or it could take 4 hours of troubleshooting and research. You'll never know until you try. And sometimes the solution is just to restart it 4-5 times until the new device is finally recognized The phone apps are simple enough but they do work. Except if the device itself doesn't feel like connecting to wifi that day (which is about 50% of the time for me), you're out of luck. And no, bluetooth alone isn't enough to use the remote, for some strange reason Oh and you need two separate apps, one for controls and one for streaming music to it, just because. And each one has its own set of unique bugs and connection issues And once you have everything set up, its always a risk to shut down at the end of the day. Because what is working one day absolutely does not guarantee it will work the next I don't know if other brands truly would give a more modern and user friendly experience, but this one definitely does not. Won't be buying a Denon product again in the near future

I'm impressed with how easy Denon made the setup procedure for this receiver. I've set up a few receivers in the past and this was by far the most straightforward. Even the layout of the plugs on the back are done in such a way to make connections easy even if you're using bare wire (although banana plugs are still the way to go). The icing on the cake is that the plugs are color coded, with a set of labels provided so you can label your speaker wires top match. My only quibble on the setup process is that the screen font used for the setup wizard is terrible -- looks like something from the 1980s. The feature set is very rich, and it can take some time to become familiar with. The full manual is available from the Denon site. It's a comprehensive 300+ page guide. But, learning the basics is quick, so diving into the manual is something to do only if you want to tweak and improve things. The auto speaker calibration is OK -- it will produce a decent sound that most people would be happy with. Doing it manually is more time consuming, but in my case provided a much better end result since I have an unusual room layout. My system consists of a Polk ES-35 center; Polk ES-15 fronts; Polk ES-10 surrounds; SVS PB-1000 sub. Over the years I've had various Denon and Onkyo receivers and have always preferred the sound quality of the Denon's. This is no exception -- five stars.

Este receptor es el ideal, la configuracion de autocalibracion Audyssey es sencilla de usar para los nuevos usuarios de cine en casa y ofrece todas las tecnologias modernas de audio y video

Çok çok iyi ,aradığım tüm özellikler mevcut, full donanımlı bir cihaz , adamlar yapmış helal olsun , ses sanki kulağa masaj yapıyor, ayrica piyasada en ucuz amazonda, 40 bin ,agust 2024

Excelente receiver. Eu havia comprado o NR6100 da Onkyo, porém houve um problema de incompatibilidade da saída HDMI com a minha TV da Sony e também com o subwoofer da Polk. Aliás, problemas de incompatibilidade com o HDMI parece ser comum aos aparelhos de quaisquer marcas fabricados antes de 2021. Para não ter erro, decidi trocar por esse aparelho da Denon que já apresenta correção para essas falhas. De fato, após vários testes tudo tem funcionado corretamente. Com relação à qualidade de som, esse aparelho é excelente. Não só é possível configurar o tipo de som para cada entrada (Blu-Ray, Stream, TV a cabo, etc.) como também para cada tipo de conteúdo (música, filme, rádio, etc.) através das teclas de seleção rápida, que memorizam, inclusive, o volume ideal para cada uma delas. A virtualização para o modo Dolby Atmos também funciona bastante bem, mesmo utilizando um conjunto de 5.1 canais. Conteúdos de áudio gravados em Dolby ou DTS são reproduzidos com uma qualidade de som excepcional, assim como os lançamentos da Netflix ou HBO em Dolby Atmos. Por fim, o aplicativo HEOS é ótimo e permite o acesso à milhares de rádios por internet de maneira rápida e intuitiva.

Excelente equipo

Produto 100 por cento, recomendo. Já comprei outro para um cliente que gostou do meu.
