    I was way overdue on upgrading my setup. Read a lot of reviews. Landed on this. I've seen (heard) a dramatic improvement on audio quality. Still learning all of the features and interesting to see all the things that it can do. Very happy with the purchase.

    Great receiver with plenty of juice and options! We opted for this version to make sure we get plenty of power out to our Electrimotion speakers. The Denon app is very convenient as well - can select modes and adjust volume all from the app!

    I bought this receiver because of the earc funtion and it works great. I can hook everything up the the TV (which also has earc) and the sound comes through perfectly. Easy to setup. One thing to note is the owners manual is online, which is kind of a pain because to print it is over 200 pages, but I managed.

    The more I play around with it, the more I enjoy the features. Not super powerful, but it works well in a small to medium sized room. For the money, its worth every penny. I am currently running it as a 5 speaker setup with the television (Sony A90J) as the center speaker.

    Has all the features needed. Need to use separate HEOS and Denon apps for all the features. Audyssey MultiEq makes set up easy. You can't include the HEOS speakers in a Multi-Room Alexa Speaker Group. Hopefully they will update this soon.

    This system has been so easy to use and has enchance my family's viewing experience. The totaltech member they sent out made everything seamless for install and was extremely helpful. Definitely recommend it if you dont need too many speakers linked to it.

    Great entry level receiver

    Even though one of the reasons I purchased this receiver doesn't work for me, I am still giving it 5 stars. Ultimately it does everything I needed it for. I wanted an entry level 5.1 receiver that supported IR in on the back panel. That was the main reason I went with this over a model in the Denon S line. I have an older Denon X6400h that is connected the same way as my 1700h with a Harmony Hub IR extender. Sadly, the 1700h rear port will not function so I ended up using an IR blaster pointed at the front of the unit. Denon needs to change their terms for bass management. People get too confused when it comes to big and small speakers. A simple description of what this really means would solve so much confusion. Basically all a person needs to know is if you have a good capable subwoofer, 9/10 times you should be setting your speakers to small so the subwoofer can do its job correctly

    Great mid range AVR. Has all the bells and whistles. Works seamlessly with my LG C1 oled and Xbox X.
