Dolby Digital AC-3 and Full Discrete 350 watts Amplifiers
The AVR-1700 is an A/V surround receiver from Denon featuring Dolby Digital AC-3 at an
affordable price. Equipped with Denon's own DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround
Circuit-Digital) decoding technology, the AVR-1700 supports the 5 independent sound chan-
nels of Dolby Digital AC-3. This model includes the Equal Power feature and a fully-discrete 5-
channel amplifier design which brings out the full sonic potential of Dolby Digital AC-3. The
AVR-1700 even provides a 6-channel external decoder input terminal that lets you accommo-
date a high quality multi-channel format, like DTS or MPEG, giving your A/V theater system
further flexibility and future expandability.

AVR-1700
The Full Discrete 5-channel Equal Power Amplifier
AVR-1700 offers a full discrete 5-channel power amplifier to support the dynamic performance of the Dolby Digital AC-3
sound signal from DVD. All channels have an equal power output of 70 watts (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, THD 0.05%) and are
configured as independent monaural amplifiers. This construction enables the AVR-1700 to produce dynamic realism
through its high-current capability and to recreate a nuanced surround sound effect via superior channel separation.
DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital)
Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain, the AVR-1700 is equipped with a newly-developed,
sophisticated, high-performance DSP circuit with "Full Block Floating Point" calculations for the Dolby Digital AC-3
and Dolby Pro Logic decoders and Surround Simulator.

Functions for Easy Operation
Self-illuminated GLO-KEY Remote Controller with
Easy Recognition Layout
The remote controller of AVR-1700 features the "Self-illuminated GLO-KEY" for frequently used functions, and it gives you
ease of use even in the dark. It also comes with four powerful functions: System Call, System Remote Control, Pre-Memory,
and Programming. If several A/V components are connected to the AVR-1700, this single controller can operate the entire
system, even if the components are not of DENON make.
Personal Memory Plus
Dot Matrix Display
The AVR-1700 is equipped with a dot matrix display with greater resolution to ensure that operating status and other
alpha-numeric characters are easy to read.
