Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am very impressed. All the featuees i need or would want in an affordable package. Though on paper a little underpowered in reality having all channels discrete make it unlikely i need more for a while to come. Match these with my pairs of Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-280F and the sound is neutral and balanced. Ordering up a pair of RSL speedwoofers to match with this. I think that will be a great match for this receiver as it can do both subwoofers.

Bought this to upgrade from my previous Denon receiver from 2003 (AVR-1604). Wanted the ability to keep up with newer features and new technology. Timely delivery, in excellent condition. This is an amazing receiver. Fairly easy to set up with the on-screen guide, etc. Would highly recommend for a solid budget friendly receiver with all the latest bells and whistles.

This all you need. Incredible sound and versatility. Comes with. Tripod microphone to do soundstage customization. I have tons vintage and powerful components and this makes all of them obsolete. Highly re omend

The receiver was easy to set-up. It has all the latest features. Works very well.

Freakin Awesome, Finally upgraded my old system and wow I can’t believe what I’ve been missing. This Denon paired with my Klipsch system wakes and shakes the house.

It appears that my receiver doesn’t support my 4 ceilings speakers. My prior Denon supported 8 speakers in my prior home

Installed now and works great , surround sounds very good , had the Geek Squad do install , they are very smart and helpfull , highly recomend them

A few issues I’ve had: - occasionally the screen suddenly goes fuzzy and I need to power cycle the device - inability to switch inputs as a result of a complete lockup that has at times required me to unplug the receiver - HDMI-CEC devices ping-ponging between each other endlessly, even though only one device is powered on (the most annoying of the issues) - sometimes the center channel goes quiet and I have to power cycle the receiver in order to correct this I had a Denon receiver before this that also had center channel issues, so that may be on my end somehow (I’ve tried changing the speaker cable but that didn’t alleviate the issue of a quiet center channel). My previous Denon was a lot more solid performance wise. I really appreciate this receiver’s advanced features like 120hz HDR 4K output, but the bugs are driving me crazy and it is pretty disappointing. Hoping this is software-related and not hardware-related.

[Employee of bestbuy] Perfect AVR for most everyone. I did have some HDMI 2.1 issues with 8k enhanced content. Other than that it's perfect.

Great value for setting up the movie center. 2 zones is best feature, I'm using along with the HEOS app.

Love how it integrates with my new lg tv and all my accessories

The denon receiver is really great it has 2.1hdmi great with playstation 5 an x box x if you have a tv with 2.1 you will see the difference in picture an sound gos up to 120h this is the 2021 denon receiver

This is a little complicated for me but it hooked everything up great (professionally). I’m not even sure of all it can do yet

Would not sync with Bluetooth. Called Denon, tech support attempted to walk thru steps, tried multiple Apple products to pair with receiver to no avail. Referred back to Best Buy for exchange as I did not purchase from a Denon partner. Anyhow, Best Buy Geek tech and I tried some field fixes, still not able to sync. Best Buy is exchanging and re-wiring speakers. We will see come this Saturday.

Really good system, met all expectations in my media room. The installation from the Geek Squad was flawless.

This is a really nice AV receiver. I haven't had it very long yet but it has excellent features. Its auto speaker balance setup works great. I got this to replace a Onkyo receiver I purchased only a few years ago that has the same features as this one but it was & is full of bugs & problems almost from the get go. It the Onkyo does in \my opinion sound a little better but for the money & quality of this new Denon & its being bug & problem free. Thats makes this system much better in quality & performance than my Onkyo I had. It does sound awesome & has a few features that are better than onkyo as well like the 8K upscaling & better speaker setup app & system. I haven't been able to test out all of its features yet I have only had it a few weeks but I am totally happy with what I got in this system. I will not go back to Onkyo ever again. The setup & setup guide make installation a breeze. Its not as complex as Onkyo's was & much clearer & easier to use & get system up & running. Its slightly less power than my Onkyo too but has plenty of power & punch to enjoy my tv & movies. It has amuch better factory warranty also. The site says its only 2 yr factory warranty but my box says mine has a 3 yr factory warranty. This system has every thing I need & more. I can't ask for more than that.... As long as it stands up better than my last system you won't hear a complain from me here. This is an awesome system & a decent price considering the economy. Nice sleek cabinet & great look to it in my entertainment center. Its also a little smaller than my last system so it even fits better. I highly recommend this Denon AVR-X1700H receiver. It has the same features as the higher lvl & higher priced system. Its a mid lvl system at a entry lvl price for the features & quality so far.

I'm not too tech savvy and first time adding an AVR to my TV. So far, it gives everything I need, and user manual was fairly easy to follow. Synched the remote to TV remote, added bluetooth to stream music from my phone. Good power to the stereo speakers. I also had to call Denon's customer service to walk me through some things, and it was pretty quick to get to an agent, and they were very helpful.

This replaced a Denon receiver that was 20 years old and I fully expect this one to give me another 20 years of music. It was easy to set up and integrate with all of my other devices- wired and wireless- and the sound quality was amazing, especially for a modestly priced receiver.

The Media Specialist recommended this unit for us. We have a small den (12’x14’ w 8’ ceilings). It’s a step down from their larger unit but has the same features. Purchased this unit replace a 15 year old Bose system. This unit is fairly easy to use. Produces crisp sound. It allows for multiple zones (inside and outside). We were able to use our existing wired Bose cube speakers and outside Bose speakers. Can control all through Denon’s HEOS app. Disclaimer Geek Squad installed. I printed out the online manual and with Geek Squad’s assistance I was set up to meet all of our needs. I would purchase again.

Excellent product. Especially enjoy the 2 channel and blue tooth convenience. Sounds great inside and outside of the home. Very easy to control with the wireless controller. Do wish it would go on sale sometime.
