Denon AVR-X1700H Audio-Video Receiver

About the Denon AVR-X1700H

Packed with value and performance
If you're like me, and you love experiencing movies and video games in surround sound, then check out Denon's AVR-X1700H. This modestly priced receiver has three 4K/120 HDMI inputs for making the most of cutting-edge video sources. And it's got special processing onboard for smooth, lag-free gaming.

Set this flexible receiver up your way
The AVR-X1700H has built-in amplification for seven speakers. Use all the channels in a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X® home theater system — or go with a conventional 5.1 setup and repurpose the extra two channels for music in another zone.

Plenty of power under the hood
The AVR-X1700H uses a high-current, discrete power amplifier for each of its seven channels. So, while 80 watts per channel may not sound like gobs of power on paper, this receiver has plenty of horsepower to drive most small- to medium-sized speakers with ease.

The 'X1700H isn't as tall as Denon's larger, more powerful models, making it a solid choice if you're tight on shelf or cabinet space.

Advanced video processing for movies and gaming
Denon equipped the AVR-X1700H with the latest video technology. Three of its six HDMI inputs support crisp 4K/120 video content — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, an Apple TV, or your next-gen gaming system. (The other three inputs support 4K/60 video content.)

Listen to your favorite tunes
The AVR-X1700H isn't just great for watching movies — it's terrific with music, too.

Stream tunes from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth or Apple AirPlay 2. Play your collection of digital music files over your Wi-Fi network. Or use the built-in phono input for your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive.

Expand your system with HEOS Built-in
HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all of your music — from your personal library, internet radio, and popular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL — through the 'X1700H.

You can easily make this receiver part of a wireless multi-room audio system as well. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers and components in different rooms, and control each room's sound independently with the free HEOS app.

The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home or listen to something different in each room.
