Our take on the Denon AVR-X1700H 7.2-Channel 8K Network A/V Receiver
The Denon AVR-X1700H is a 7.2-channel AV receiver built around HDMI 2.1 with 8K passthrough and 4K/120Hz support, making it a natural match for current game consoles and 8K TVs. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for height-channel setups and includes HEOS streaming, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and room calibration. It sits at the entry point of Denon's 8K line: fewer channels and less power than the step-up X2800H, but it covers a full 7.2 Atmos layout for smaller rooms. Owners and reviewers generally rate it as a solid, well-featured hub for a mid-size home theater, with setup and the on-screen menus drawing the most complaints.
- HDMI 2.1 with 8K passthrough and 4K/120Hz on the main input
- Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding for up to 7.2 channels
- HEOS, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and built-in streaming apps
- Audyssey room calibration included

What reviewers say
Reviewers treat the X1700H as a dependable entry into 8K and Atmos, praising its input set and streaming support for the class. Complaints center on the single high-bandwidth HDMI port and the clunky setup menus rather than sound quality.
- HDMI 2.1MixedOwners like the 8K and 4K/120Hz support but note only one input offers the full bandwidth.
- Sound qualityPraisedListeners describe clear, balanced output that fills a mid-size room.
- SetupCriticisedThe on-screen menus and calibration flow are called slow and dated.
Questions and answers
- Does it support 8K and 4K at 120Hz?
- Yes, one HDMI input passes 8K and 4K/120Hz signals. The other inputs are limited to lower bandwidth, so connect the console or 8K player to that port.
- How many speakers can it drive?
- It powers up to seven channels plus two subwoofer outputs, enough for a 7.2 or a 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos layout.
- Does it work with wireless surrounds?
- No. All speakers are wired; HEOS is used for streaming music, not for wireless surround speakers.
- Is it a good match for a PS5 or Xbox Series X?
- Yes, through the 8K/4K120 input, which supports the high frame rates those consoles output.
- How does it compare with the AVR-X2800H?
- The X2800H adds more power and channels and more high-bandwidth HDMI inputs. The X1700H covers a 7.2 Atmos setup for smaller rooms at a lower tier.
- What is in the box?
- The receiver, a remote, a calibration microphone, an AM/FM antenna and a power cord.
