Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers describe the AVR‑X1700H as an entry‑level powerhouse that delivers room‑filling 80 W/8 Ω sound and robust 8K video support. They commend its comprehensive HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, QFT) and the effective Audyssey MultEQ XT calibration that creates immersive Atmos without height speakers, while noting the power is best suited for modest‑sized rooms and the USB functionality is limited.
What Users Say
Everyday users praise the receiver’s easy setup, clear 8K video pass‑through, and immersive Atmos/DTS:X virtualization, especially appreciating HEOS multi‑room streaming and the built‑in phono input. Recurring complaints focus on insufficient power for larger spaces, occasional HDMI handshake glitches with 8K sources, and the limited USB port functionality.
Common Complaints
Insufficient power for large rooms, occasional HDMI handshake issues with 8K sources, and limited USB functionality that only supports music playback.
