The Denon AVR-1709 home theater receiver offers multi-zone capability and a plethora of advanced technology at a thoroughly affordable price. Its powerful seven channel amplifier section can be easily set up as a 7.1-channel surround sound loudspeaker system, or if you prefer, it can be configured to drive a 5.1-channel surround sound system in one room, while driving a pair of stereo speakers in another.
Cutting-edge audio enhancements from Audyssey Labs
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, and Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which ensures rich bass and smooth tonal balance, even at low volume levels.
For optimum surround sound quality, the Audyssey MultEQ in-room acoustic measurement and optimization system measures your loudspeakers¡¦ 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.
The latest HDMI specs for the highest level signal transfer
With tremendous video signal handling flexibility, the AVR-1709 features three latest specification v1.3a HDMI digital video inputs and one HDMI output, all of which handle HD signals up to the highest 1080p resolution. The AVR-1709 also offers on-board video up-conversion along with three HD component video inputs for additional connection flexibility.
Two remote controls are provided ¡V one for the main room, and a second easy-to-use remote control for second zone audio control.
