      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. For further assistance, please contact our customer support team by visiting https://support.denon.com/app/ask. denon

    Buggy

    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.

      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/.

    Video Not for the Denon AVR-1700H

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

    I have not yet bought the Denon AVR-1700H, but this is a heads up that the "blue shirt" video for it is actually a video on the Denon AVR-x4800H. BIG difference in features and price.
