    A Timely Upgrade

    Very simple, smaller and lighter than my old Sony Receiver. I got it to complement my new Sony 77" OLED TV because my old receiver did not pass through in 4K or higher. It made an immediate difference for me. I am still figuring out some of the details and looking forward to a big "movie night"!

    This is our second Denon Receiver. The first one we had for over 20 years and was still working great. We just felt it was way past time to update to a newer model. So far we are very happy with this one also.

    Denon AVR-X1700H Receiver

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Seems to be a mediocre product. Discussed during home visit with advisor prior to purchase. Examined planned location which is inside a cabinet. This is the system recommended. However, this item is operated by an Infra-Red remote which will not transmit though the door. So this item is inappropriate for the location. System was planned to operate speakers in two locations. While it will send sound to both locations, there is no control to operate "Speaker A, Speaker B, or Speaker A&B." Both must operate at all times. Denon could use a lesson from my last century Pioneer receiver. Overall disappointing.

    Dont let them tell you wattage doesnt matter.

    Not enough power. Sales person said 75 watts per channelis more than enough but it just wasnt there. If you do this system expect to have to pay for better speakers for this to work well. I had to crank it up to 50% to hear as a normal lever. Save your money, get a Samsung Q series soubd bar. Way more power. I get booming high qualirt sound for a fraction of the cost of this system. This system just doesnt work well for the price. And yes... i did run through callibration. It didnt help enough to make much difference.

      Hello, sorry to learn you were not 100% satisfied with the receiver. Our receivers are designed to deliver accurate distortion levels. Meaning the provided distortion level is accurate to 100% volume. Once the volume passes -1 or 100, for example (depending on how you have the volume to read), the distortion level will increase. It is pretty normal to run the receiver at 75% volume. If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. https://support.denon.com/ denon

    Very nice system, i am going to upgrade to add Atmos in ceiling speakers so depending on how many speakers you have you may want to go at least 2 models up

    Highly recommend this receiver. It was recommended by the installation tech after the purchase of a different one that did not have the options I needed. Great choice
