Connectivity & Sound Quality
Having issues with a previous receiver, I decided it was time to upgrade. Only in technical terms this was not an upgrade, rather a horizontal move more towards having an internet connected receiver and some of the more recent sound decoding qualities available.
First, it is paired with a Bose Acoustimass 6 system, which now sounds BETTER than it ever did on a higher end receiver that uses Audyssey tuning. This is only a 5.1 system, and frankly there aren't many movies out that even have 7.1, so when it comes to watching something like The Rise of the Dark Knight, it sounds amazing.
If anyone knows why this one sounds better, I am all ears, because the Denon AVR 1907 now sounds sweet with my friend's high end large speaker set up.
There is something of a confusing element to this receiver that people may not realize; that the HK does not use a traditional transformer and therefore weighs a lot less. This is a deliberately GREEN approach in sound...

Fantastic- cheapest and best for the features
I had an all in one surround sound system. Crappy speakers and lots of issues. A handy friend recommend that I set myself up with a receiver so that I could upgrade pieces/parts as needed. We set out to buy a Sony unit. Once we got to best buy we saw that this one was on sale for $199! I was pretty much sold on it right away since it was so heavily discounted (usually $499 according to the label) but couldn't put it into my cart fast enough once I saw that it had airplay.
So more about the unit... In short its fantastic. I'm technically retarded and this is really straight forward. It has great features, airplay being one of them and best of all its really intuitive to use. My friend set it up, but I've had no trouble using it and switiching between inputs. I paired it with a decent subwoofer and two new speakers, reusing the center and surround speakers from the old unit. I have FANTASTIC sound, even with airplay. No more sound delay that I used to get with the...
Exceeded My Expectations
Coming from the highly regarded Harman Kardon avr 330 and needed hdmi support as well as Dolby digital plus for my Roku. I adore the powerful sound of my 330 and was concerned i would have to lose that classic h/k sound.
The 1700 still has that h/k sound... Its sound is colourful, weighted and powerful! The imaging and detail with music in 2 ch stereo is exceptional and is better than my 330. Movies in 5.1 is impressive as well. Ezset eq did a great job setting my speakers. I never liked my sub all that much but the avr1700 automatically eq'ed my sub and it'sa much tighter sound.
I love the simplicity of this avr. Its a huge value because your not paying for all the nonsense frills you pay for in other avrs. Its a powerful amp with all the audio decoders you need. Video and 3d is passed through so your tv can handle the processing.
Pros:
Excellent sound quality!!! Warm and detailed sound
Power
All the modern hi-rez audio decoders...
