Overview
Denon designs the AVR-X1700H as a home theater receiver that switches HDMI sources, decodes surround formats and powers passive speakers through binding posts. It also streams music over HEOS and answers to voice assistants, with an AM/FM tuner for radio.
HDMI support for current TV and console features, combined with object-based surround decoding and HEOS streaming, covers a modern living room system in one unit. Fast frame rate pass-through is limited to select inputs, and the receiver feeds a single screen.
Who it's for
Built for a home theater where the TV, consoles and streaming boxes all route through one receiver driving passive speakers. People who just want a soundbar setup or need a second HDMI display output should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
- Passes 8K and 4K/120Hz video
- Six HDMI inputs for sources
- HEOS streaming built in
- Only one HDMI output
- 4K/120Hz on select inputs only
- Power measurement conditions not listed
Performance notes
Volume into the speakers depends on the per-channel power figure and on the speakers' impedance and sensitivity, so efficient speakers play louder at the same setting. Surround placement comes from decoding object-based formats, and height virtualization fills in when no height speakers are installed. Picture quality is set by the source and display, since the receiver passes the video signal through.
