Very good so far

The refurbished Denon AVR-X1700H I purchased is doing well so far. No complaints yet, although there's always tomorrow. :) I'm not sure that making most of the controls electronic rather than mechanical (such as tone and balance controls) is necessarily a good thing, however.

Really good!

It's really hard to beat this unit for the price. It sounds excellent, powers my Klipsch R620Fs and SVS SB-1000 to absurd volumes, and has all the features I need. Looks pretty nice, nothing fancy but I like the big knobs that flank the console. It's a great central hub for all of my multimedia devices. My only real complaint is the menu system, which I find cumbersome and unintuitive. Finding which options are where can be confusing, and the menus are a little awkward to navigate - for one example, I really wish I could wrap the cursor, so moving up at the top brings me to the bottom and vice versa. I've slay had audyssey disable and have to recalibrate because changing an option shut it off. Little things like that prevent me from giving it a 5, but overall this is a fantastic receiver.

Much more dimensional sounding than

Much more dimensional sounding than the Yamaha I had. Both 7. 1, but Denon handles the surround sound better. I love the neural X. Yamaha doesn't even have it.

Fantastic!

I just got this and it's really great. Lots of settings, puts out great sound and easy to set up. My 5. 1 surround system is really enhanced by the X1700H.

Good but with issues

Good so far. Tried running the room correction. Both times, it all but eliminated the bass signal from my Velodyne subwoofer. AirPlay by default on this unit will not utilize the subwoofer. You have to know to press the yellow button on the remote until you get to Auto. Seems like these issues should be fixed.

Great sounding, feature rich, easy-to-use AVR

I have been very impressed with Denon products over the years, and the AVR-X1700H is definitely another. Using the Audyssey setup creates a well balanced and enhanced listening experience for our medium sized room. As we are seniors, we really like the Enhanced Dialog feature which has several settings.

20 year old AVR 4306 digital processing wasn't working so I finally had to purchase a new receiver. Happy so far, was more interested in processing than the power that the 4306 had

Excellent Value!

Replaced an older 5. 1 surround sound receiver with the Denon X1700. Loved it so much that this was our second X1700 purchase to replace another older receiver. We're loving the sound clarity, the separation of sound and the video pass through to the TVs has been great! We even noticed better video quality on an older 1080P TV because of the pass through.

My second Denon receiver

I just purchased my second Denon receiver and I couldn't be happier The first one lasted for over 20 years but because of a lightning strike, I needed to get another one. I called Denon to discuss my options and the technician recommended. The AVR 1700 for my living room. Because I was a loyal than a customer Because I was a loyal customer, he offered me a discount on the new one. It installed easily and without a hitch, I upgraded the speakers as well.

Amazing

By WillieD

Had another brand budget HTIB and the receiver went bad. Picked up the X1700H as Denon had good reviews and this one has support for 4k120 and VRR. I have been blown away at the performance of this thing. I'm still using the same speakers but the sound is so much more full and I can hear so much more detail.
