Denon AVR-X1700H 7.2ch 8K Home Theater Receiver with 3D Audio, Voice Control, and HEOS Built-In

Rated 4 out of 5

X1700 is a great value

This is my first Denon AVR. It does not disappoint. Pretty easy to set up. Plenty of ways to customize the sound you are looking for. The sound signature is on the neutral side. The equalizer is available but doesn't do much. The Pioneer Elites give much better results using the equalizer. I am still working with all manual settings and have not done Audyssey yet. The best thing about the X1700H is how it does surround sound and the amount of control you have over each speaker. The experience is exceptional with my 5.1 def tech speakers and SVS PB 1000 sub. For sports I use multi channel and you fell like you are at the game. I am still playing with the virtual atmos and have mixed results. Everyone complains about the out dated gui but honestly it's not that big a deal. The Denon app is very good and has hardly any lag. Overall, considering the price and free earbuds with 3 year warranty and customer service you can actually talk to without waiting, this is a good value compared to anything else in this price range.

Awesome Receiver - AVR-X1700H-R

Amazing! The sound presence that this receiver provides is simply amazing. I use Roku for streaming services and the colors and sound are fantastic. I currently run a 3.1 surround sound and it's really give a 3D sound to sports and movies. Definitely a step above the Onkyo in the same price range. For the price this receiver rocks. Next, ordering surround sound speakers to complete 5.1 The setup for this is really nice with the on screen settings. Yes you need to understand how to setup your speakers, but it also has a wizard type guide to help you with that. I'm a pro tech so I understand how to set it up. There are a lot of options and some of it will depend on your tv and personal preferences. One note, make sure you buy quality HDMI cables, ones that can run 8K and 60Hz. The video and sound will be much better if you do. Cables are not equal so do your research. Thanks Denon for a superb product.

Works great, but it should be better.

Works great, as expected. User interface needs to be faster and needs to provide information about what the options mean.

Beautiful piece of art

I just received the Denon AVR-X1700H yesterday to replace my old Yamaha 5.1 system. I currently have 5 .1 speakers and would like to buy additional speakers to fullfil the 7.2, i am lost between dolby atmos ceiling speakers or the ones that just point up, do you have an illustration of the ideal speaker configuration to maximize the potential of Denon, and another question, does Denon prefer a specific speaker brand? thank you

Upgrade from Denon 1910

I upgraded from a old receiver 1910. Reason for upgrade : USB 2.1, BT, Wifi, Future ready. I had not much options in the region i am, so did some review and settled for the x1700H. After the setup and running audessy, straight out the sound quality was much CRISP, LOUDER and the separation from the speakers was distinctive. Denon 1910 i had to run the volume control high as 70+ to get good sound. Now with around 40+ the sound is loud and also the details are audible. Most of the media tested was app based Netflix, amazon, Youtube Music, TuneinHD. What i dont like: 1: The jump in the volume control 2: The HEOS App 3: The dos command like interface for audessy and setting. Hence the 4 stars. What i like: Its future ready and i hope i wont have to change the receiver for another 10yrs or so with 4/8K , HDMi 2.1 and the Wifi options.

Good fit for a medium sized system. High level video and audio performance. Replaced a 12 year old Onkyo 7.2 receiver. Refurbished but can’t distinguish from new.

Perfect for my application

I wanted a receiver that won't break the bank, but sound good and has 8K capability for future use. I have this installed running 7.2 (2 front, 2 surround, 1 center, 2 ceiling atmos, and 2 subs). I found the menu settings user friendly, and was able to tweak the settings for the best sound in my living room. I had issues with bluetooth connectivity, and called support. They were able to resolve my issue promptly. So far I have had this receiver for about a month. I wanted to give it time to break my speakers in. I am pleased with the sound quality for both music and movies. For a refurb product, it is excellent.

Defective!

HDMI-arc failed to deliver audio to surround speakers. Both Denon tech support and Samsung spent hours with me... but no joy. A further disappointment with this unit is that Audyssey does not support combining wired and wireless speakers for balancing. The result was that my wireless rear surround speakers were dominant and could not be adjusted lower either by the remote, the HEOS app, the speaker control, or the avr 1700. I sent this unit back!

Fantastic product and customer service

Purchased a refurbished unit and couldn't be happier. Product certainly appears to be in excellent condition. If I did not know better certainly would think it was brand new. And Denon customer service could not have been more helpful with set up. Had a few issues getting everything to work with a new TV. Every time I called the wait time was virtually zero and the rep on the line was extremely patient and helpful. Not something you can say very often these days. Highly recommend purchasing directly from the web site.

New Denon X1700H 7.1 system

So after months of research I finally decided on the Denon x1700 H for many reasons, However I am sure I still have a month or so of a learning curve to go on the best settings yet to be discovered, but the product has been doing everything I wanted and with a 3 year warranty it does put me at ease a little more than normal.

The fact that I spoke with the support side 1st was huge to make sure I was getting what I wanted with all the new upgrades and options now vs 5 years or more ago,
They were helpful in my process , so in closing the sound is getting better every time I use a new adjustment and as I learn the settings with the 7.2 system.

Thank you Denon for all your support and I will continue to support your product going forward, I do enjoy the clear and warm sound that only Denon is noted for and the fact the levels are good from the stereo to the Surround sound as well.
Thank you
JM

Great Denon Quality, However....

I have owned 6 Denon AVR's over the years, mostly upgrades and always appreciated the sound, features and quality of Denon. However, I purchased through Denon an AVR-X1700HR and I am having frustrating issues with SACD, DVD-A and Blu-Ray-A. I have a Denon DBT-1713UD Blu-Ray/SACD/DVD-A/CD player (HDMI output) which worked great with my Denon AVR-X3000. The multichannel sound now is just not right, sounds muffled, It doesn't that sharp pronounced sound. I have Pink Floyd's The Division Bell on Blu-Ray Audio and it's unlistenable. I have quite a collection of SACD multichannel and stereo and DVD-A discs and I am very disappointed with the performance of the AVR-1700HR. I'm temped to go back to my AVR-X3000. That being said it sounds great with multichannel TV and movies.

Lokking for the right fit

Good day Denon,
I am writing this review for a couple of reasons, I am a guy in my early 60s and I have been researching the latest and greatest on AV Receiver’s all makes and models, I did do my homework on the company’s and who they are and in these times who owns them, It is different now than it was 40 plus years ago,
I work with a guy who has a Denon x3500 he said it’s not working when he move here its 3 year old but he was going to find service for it he said it was great before the move here from Texas but he still recommended it, as well as Marantz, I did take that into consideration as well.

So I called 3 top brand sellers and spoke with each one support and service help, In my opinion the Denon Inc. was the best to deal with and they were very professional and took all the time I needed to get my question and answers done, now for the second part I had a huge learning curve to go though and was hoping to understand the new set up things I had to do to get what I hoped would be in my happy place.
I took about a day and a half about 6 hrs. then maybe 2 hours to figure out the settings I would need to use, The tech then after helping me re set my system then emailed me a owner’s manual to help guide me the rest of the way, it was and will be a huge help tool now and going forward , I still have a lot to learn but the 1st day I was not sure of what the end result would be but now it is clear that this Denon AV X1700 H 7.2 is by far what I wanted and needed for all the choices a I had on my list of wants, as for price I received a $50.00 coupon and I have learn from the past to go to the actual manufacturer instead of Amazon or other dealers i.e. best buy etc. the price was very competitive and I feel that for the middle of the road I got the best deal for my purchase as well.
In closing I feel that if you are looking for a solid system and a company that won’t be going out of business or advoiding the service issues one might have that Denon was the right choice for me and they pair great with my Kirsch R-41m and R-52c & Bose surround cubes. I am very happy with my selection and I am sure you will be too.

Great update to my home theater set up.

This was an update to my Denon AVR-X1200H that served me well for 6 years. It sounds great with my Klipsch speakers and was really easy to set up and calibrate. I use it with a PS5 and 4k BluRay player and it passes through all the bells and whistles like Dolby vision and Atmos and taps into the full power of the PS5 with no problems.

X1700 H is awesome, sounds amazing, very easy to setup and calibrate. The wifi feature makes it updated easily. You can not go wrong with Denon In Command Series, starting with x1700H. Dolby Atmos 5.2.2. for small space.

Great sound and quality, with minor hiccups...

I bought this as soon as it came out from the Denon site, I got it before the holidays of 2021. I've now had it nearly a year and the 1 issue I've had and still have, is switching from Xbox Series X to PS5 to Google Chromecast as well as within those devices starting a movie or game that Kicks over HDR or DV, the AVR, DAILY, can't handle the switching seamlessly. I will get the Format not supported screen while I hear the sounds coming through, so I turn the AVR off and on or swap Inputs back and forth and its fine again. But it happens daily, might be able to turn on a game, switch to a movie, then after the movie back to a game and I get the error. So, I think the ALLM or VRR, with the AVR over eARC is half baked. I hoped for a firmware update to come this past year before posting this review so I could give it a 5 star, but this is just annoying and on top of that, to get the best sound your kind of pushed to buy their $19.99 app in order to turn off a setting which had the sounds out of the box feel like they were coming from the box. If i didn't buy the app, the setting is locked out unless we were to buy the next tier of AVR's. Other than those, i love this AVR, sounds are big, smooth, loud, and with Atmos, i love it! Hope a firmware will come out soon which will address the Switching of inputs on the AVR and it will be perfect.

Dolby Atmos 4k 120 upgrade.

The Denon x1700H does Dolby atmos and Dts X. It also has a front usb port, binding posts for all 5.2.2 speakers, and able to pass through 4k 120fps once I get a new TV.

AVR-X1700H

Easy set up following the on screen guide. The user manual is very lengthy but worth the time to go through it to understand all the controls. The Denon app is easy to use and helpful in calibrating sound for a room, especially if you have more than 1 zone set up and use the app with Bluetooth for multiple room music. The HEOS app is difficult to set up an account and doesn’t seem to be user friendly. Overall the system produces great quality sound and we are getting performance out of our speakers that our previous Pioneer Elite AV couldn’t produce

Great Upgrade!

Upgraded from an older AVR and just can't believe the sound quality. Installation was really easy and well documented, TIDAL streaming music sounds as good if not better than CD [and way better than iTunes] and the surround sound speakers and woofer now really know their jobs. HEOS working well with iPad control. Shipping and delivery were fast.

Just OK

Nice unit with good clean sound. This was not a refurbished unit! The Alexa/Google interface is horrible. Setup was ok but software is outdated….ie log in for example needs the remote. HEOS is kinda sweet but requires phone or tablet to work correctly. I want to love this unit but just can’t at the price. Overall it’s overpriced for the technology and sound.

X1700H Shows Potential

Loving the X1700H so far. I went with the refurb model because that’s what was in stock and my current receiver wasn’t getting the job done. The unit looked great upon arrival and no obvious signs of being previously owned. Apple TV 4K works perfect connected directly to the receiver. PS5 is connected to the TV which is connected to the receiver via eArc and it also works great. Only concern so far is the unit falling off the network and having to unplug / plug it back in to get it to show up on my devices for streaming again. Not sure if this inherent to the unit / firmware or perhaps the reason the unit was returned to be refurbed in the first place. Otherwise, really happy with this unit and the sound quality. I did use the iPhone app to set up MultEQ XT and customize a few settings / curves and it’s really nice sounding.

Excellent Network AV receiver with HDMI 2.1, hdcp 2.3, eArc. Sound dynamic and power could be a little better though. Otherwise great mid range receiver for the money. Some controls will be limited if we enable Audyessey calibration and can't mix and match if u opt for auto calibration.

Good not whoa

All the bells and whistles are there for the new xbox. Just wasn't blown away by it. My old Yamaha receiver had a music enhancer mode which was 5ch stereo. This receiver has multi channel stereo but kicks the sub off for some reason...
I also have vaulted ceilings in the living room and wasn't real impressed with Dolby Atmos.
IMO just another gimmick making us think we need it....

Very fast and easy setup using OSD connected to my TV with HDMI. Very good sound for both digital and analogue inputs, although didn't set up Audessy yet. Enough power in Dolby surround sound for small/medium room with 5.1 speaker config. Happy with purchase in selecting the refurb. AVR-X1700H!

Great replacement for my aging Onkyo

Long time Onkyo user, switched to Denon when the rear channels quit working. So far, I am impressed. I haven't used it much, but have watched a few of the Star Wars prequels through my Amazon Prime account on my Xbox One X (not the new Series X). The sound was plenty loud and tracked around the room appropriately. I am FAR from an audiophile, but this system is so far meeting all my music, gaming, and movie needs. Looking forward to many years of solid performance.

not what I expected

I am using this for music only, not surround sound TV. It was difficult to set up and connect to all my devices as well as Amazon Music. I'm not sure I love the sound. I may return it to Denon and buy a receiver for music only, not to connect to TV.

Future Proofed Powerhouse

Fantastic Avr! The 3 8k inputs really future proof this thing and my goodness it sounds AMAZING! I have it hooked up to two Polk ES60 towers and they thump! If you are trying to decide on this AVR and seeing the 80 watts, do not be afraid. Unless you have highly inefficient speakers and are sitting very far away from them, 80 watts is plenty. I turn this thing up to 60% and its more than enough! This is an amazing reciever!

Love this receiver - A great value.

My new AVR X1700H replaces my 30-year old Denon receiver (remember when s-video was new? I purchased Denon again because of the beautiful sound quality and it is the center of my new 4k UHD home theater setup.

The setup assistant is very good and found speaker phase issues in my 7.1 setup I would never have known about.

Some of the user interface is a bit clunky in the manual setup portions, but manageable. Otherwise 5-Stars! Good design, easy to use and feature rich… And of course, sounds wonderful.

Great affordable AVR!

Easy to set up and intuitive to use. Audyssey MultEQ XT did a fantastic job and the sound is great for movies and music. Dialog Enhancer is a nice feature that really works and video enhancements are a bonus.

I was overdue for an upgrade to 4K HDR and Atmos with purchase of a new TV and this AVR was a perfect fit to improve my system from 5.2 to 5.2.2. It has plenty of HDMI inputs for my needs and the return of a phono input is convenient.

Prompt free shipping from Denon helped seal the deal.

Easy to hook up but has so many features that I have not had time to tweak yet. Great sound & picture

Excellent receiver for HDMI 2.1 and Atmos!

This receiver delivers impressive Atmos sound with 4k Blu-rays and it works with PS5 and X Box Series X. I have tested the PS5 and the X with 4k 120fps, and Dolby Vision with VRR with the X and they all work perfectly on my LG C1. 5.1 sound from both consoles works properly without a delay in sound. Using Atmos on the X or 7.1 on the PS5 introduces a delay. HDMI CEC works properly, and it is a treat. Be aware that there is an industry standard HDMI CEC limit of 3 devices. I'm using all six connections on the AVR buy my C1 will only "see" 3 on the HDMI port. If I want to use one of the other devices, I have to turn on the BD player, change the HDMI on the TV to it, then to the 'unseen' device with the AVR and turn off the BD player. It is not the receiver's fault, just a short sighting of industry standards. I am using the CS set of speakers from Sony with the up-firing speakers and they sound excellent with this receiver. You can also turn off Eco mode, which you will want to do, or you might hear the occasional click from the receiver. The new Pioneer receiver does not have the option to turn it off, this Denon AVR thankfully does. The Audyssey calibration works incredibly well. It recognized all speakers as small, and they sound very good with bass really showing itself in some scenes. It works much better, and it is more accurate than the MACC used by Pioneer. If all you need is 7 channels, this receiver will work with anything you want to connect. The remote is good, and the AVR has a nice set of options and features. Most important is that it works properlyb and it delivers impressive sound. I could not be happier and could not ask anything more from this wonderful AVR.

Denon Incredible.

Extremely Awesome AV system. Replaced an Onkyo that was 15 years old and completely blows it out of the water. Still haven't been able to use all the features being as there are so many. Hoping to enjoy for a long time to come. Keep the great products coming.

Good Upgrade!

Upgraded from an older Denon AVR2310CI to this receiver. I wanted 4K / 8K HDMI and wireless connectivity. Really like the HEOS app and streaming content! The 4K passthrough works great and the improved surround sound for watching movies is also excellent. Overall I'm very pleased with the AVR-X1700H.

Happy with my Denon amplifier

It is a very nice amplifier, very easy to setup and works fantastic after installed. The options and capabilities of this amplifier are excellent for a well setup home theater within what can be called "normal conditions". I enjoy a lot the sound quality as well as the features of this amplifier.
