Music around the home is now easier to realize than ever before. The AVR-1709 features a powerful seven channel amplifier section that can be easily configured for a 7.1 channel surround sound loudspeaker system, or to drive a 5.1 channel surround sound system in the main room, while at the same time able to drive a pair of stereo speakers in another room. Featuring tremendous video signal handling flexibility, the AVR-1709 features three latest specification v1.3a HDMI digital video inputs and one HDMI output that handles HD signals up to the highest 1080p resolution. As well, the AVR-1709 features on-board video up-conversion, along with three HD component video inputs for additional video signal handling flexibility. For optimum surround sound quality, the Audyssey MultEQ in-room acoustic measurement and optimization system measures the loudspeaker`s overall response (at up to six different measurement points) and tailors the audio signal for the smoothest, most natural-sounding tonal balance throughout the listening space. And, the AVR-1709 is one of the first to offer Audyssey`s Dynamic Volume leveling system, which eliminates jarring volume jumps between TV shows and commercials, as well as Audyssey Dynamic EQ to ensure rich bass and smooth tonal balance, even at low volume levels. Two remote controls are provided – one for the main room, and a second easy-to-use remote control for second zone audio control.

Receiver Has Latest Teschnology

"Has 4 HDMI inputs. A feature that automatically lowers the volume when annoying commercials come on. Very powerful and I have a second zone set up- 5.1 home theater in one zone and stereo reception in another zone. Denon makes quality products- my other Denon receiver is 8 years old. Denon makes extremely complicated products. The set up for the average person is nearly impossible without calling for help. ..." Read Full Review »

"I purchased this product on the recommendation of the salesperson and quickly realized that he was about 5 to 6 years behind the times. This particular model has no HDMI Audio capability which was essential to me. I returned the product for an Onkyo TRX 5607, which is much more conducive to my setup. If you plan to run audio and video from your TV to your receiver, don't purchase this model. Oh, and for the ..." Read Full Review »

"I used the AVR1709 to replace my Pioneer that I loved after only 4years due to a failure of the power supply and the blown center channel amplifier. I only had the Pioneer for about 4 years, so I was a little off guard for the cost. Since times are hard I opted for a more economical route to replace …"  Read Full Review »

"This replaced a sony receiver I loved for 13 years. I was missing out until I bought this new receiver. It is fantastic.
