Has several bugs
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 4k/120 on 3 hdmi ports is nice, however their are issues with CEC. This item switches multiple times a second between random inputs if HDMI control is on even if there is only one device turned on. There appears to be an issue recently with the connection with an apple tv 4k where the sound goes out briefly for a few seconds, this appears related to dolby armos. The receiver also turns on and off itself or has issues with various sound modes. Denon's social media page just blows tou off if you bring any of this up.

Posted .First, we would like to thank you for your purchase and for leaving us your feedback. There may be EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) communication errors between your sources, TV, and receiver. Ensure all sources in the chain have the HDMI control option activated, including the receiver. There also may be video out settings within the receiver we can try (i/p scaler, for example). Please get in touch with our Denon Support team for further assistance. https://support.denon.com/ We look forward to speaking with you.

Replacement unit did not pair to TV. This receiver was sold to us as the best option and would do the trick. It didn't.

Sound quality is sub par. Not recommended
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver produces decent sound in surround mode; but is nowhere as good as AVR-X3600H. The sound quality in stereo and airplay modes are terrible. The same Bowers & Wilkins when paired with Denon RCD-N10 produced excellent sound; but when paired with this the sound was well below average. Do not buy this if you want decent stereo sound. Do not buy this if you want excellent surround sound. The speakers get boomy and sloppy because the amp is not fast to run the speakers well. Would recommend moving up to the X3700H range or above with Denon

Bad and not too bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a LACK of service review. After a 3 month wait, the "Expert" sold me a unit not able to do what I described and needed. Even after describing the needs before the installer began, she didn't realize it until after it was installed. The installer took it back and said I'd hear from her today...I didn't and I had to call. My calls were responded to quickly and Anthony processed a credit for the unit. Now it's Monday the 3rd and I am waiting to hear the status of a replacement. Be interesting how this progresses. The remaining question needed to be answered to send this review. Round peg in a square hole.

Not matching with what advertised.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well.. not meeting with my expectations with the price. Graphics EQ is really bad in context of an end user. I got other receiver far less price compared to this one. The bass and the treble are awesome comparing with denon.

Buggy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's sounds decent when its working. I had read another review which mentioned bugs and instability and that has been my experience as well. The subwoofer outputs will just stop outputting and cause the subwoofer to shut off. The worst issue is switching inputs causes the screen to go black for a second and then the volume becomes unresponsive eventually causing the TV to switch back to its internal speakers. Sometimes while watching TV it will power on the PS5 and switch over to it for no reason. I had tried a Yamaha before this one which did not have any of these issues and to my ears sounded a little better. My old receiver worked flawlessly but it just didn't support the newer 4k formats which is why I upgraded.

Posted .Hello, and thank you for your purchase. Sorry to learn that you are experiencing some issues. Here are some helpful tips. Be sure that the receiver is connected to the internet. Check for any possible firmware updates. HDMI cables must be Ultra-High-Speed. It is also a good idea to activate HDMI control on all devices, including the receiver. Set up>Video>HDMI setup>HDMI Control. If your Television is 8K, set the HDMI Upscaler to Auto by selecting setup>Video>Output settings>HDMI Upscaler. If further assistance is required, please contact support by visiting https://support.denon.com/.

Bad equipment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Kept shutting off if volume went up and giving me a message speaker protection mode. Finally it just wouldn't come on. Returned it got something different
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Denon Team
Posted .We want to apologize for your experience. Denon strives for audio excellence. Perhaps one of the speaker wires was frayed, causing the short. The power-off feature is built-in to protect the connected receiver, speakers, and equipment. I hope you will consider giving us another shot in the future. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can be of any assistance. https://support.denon.com/

Posted .Sorry to learn that your receiver is not outputting the correct audio. I first recommend you check all connected sources' connections and audio settings. Once complete, run Audyssey auto room calibration. The Denon AVR-X1700H has enough power to produce loud volume levels.
