Product Description

The convenient Auto Setup function on the AVR-1706 automatically fine-tunes your system's performance for optimal sound with your specific speakers and room. Just plug in the included microphone and place it in your favorite listening seat - the AVR-1706 takes care of the rest, adjusting the level and delay settings for every speaker in your home theater. Component video conversion streamlines TV hookup and switching between sources. All video signals can be passed from the receiver to your TV via a single component video connection. You can switch from your cable box to your DVD player with the press of a single button on this receiver's remote - no more fumbling through input menus on your TV. Component video conversion also preserves the highest possible picture quality for each source. Dual-room/dual-source capability lets you enjoy home theater in your main room while another individual listens to music in another room at the same time - the AVR-1706 can even power stereo speakers in your second room. For easy control of every component in your system, even in low lighting, you get a multi-brand remote with glow-in-the-dark buttons.

This review is from: Denon AVR1706 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Electronics)

Bought this Denon a few years back, it has served me very well, it has 7.1 channel capabilities. Used it for movies/music/games. Very "Warm" sounding Receiver and pairs up excellent with Klipsch Speakers. It has a slightly shorter stance than other receivers. The remote is ugly, so I went with a Logitech Harmony. The Auto Setup feature allows you to place the Denon Mic in your listening area to fine tune the receiver to the acoustics of your room and speakers.75 watts is conservatively rated, its not the most powerful system, but will bring plenty of power to small to medium sized rooms. Most importantly, it dosent cut corners, it delivers 75 watts of full power to each of the seven channels, so each speaker will be just as powerful as the other. Only drawback is no HDMI. High Quality product.
