sorted byI've been thinking about getting an AV for years but it just seems such a minefield of tech to learn about. I do game so being up to date with latest gen consoles is a must for me (I appreciate this particular AV supports them).
You plug all your consoles TV boxes etc into the amp and then a single HDMI back to the TV (great if you wall mount the TV and just more convenient than having HDMI cables sprouting out of the TV).
If you have the latest consoles this amp should passthrough 4K120 so you'll get the best picture possible in theory. At the minute my old amp can't do this so I have to plug the consoles into the TV hence the need for a modern amp.
Nowadays the amps have voice control too (Alexa etc) and Bluetooth etc so no need for a HIFI in the lounge really.
I found this that might help too and explain things far better than I can..

The ridiculous thing with Peter Tyson is that they only do 5 year warranties on purchases that are direct from their own website, excluding the likes of sales on Amazon and eBay. The irony in this is that if you purchase from their website using paypal (I did with paypal credit) the sales invoice comes from ebay@petertyson anyway.
I was going to get this very receiver on eBay but wanted the 5 year warranty. Upon using their webchat and asking if they price matched their eBay price, they won't. Understandable I guess as the discount is funded from eBay.
They did however after asking because I could not find any discount codes to use whatsoever offer me a whopping £10 (less than 5% off) discounted refund on the £479 purchase price, so I got it for £469 with 5 year warranty. Hardly setting the world of bargains alight, but the current state of financial climate and cost of AV receivers being sky high is still a 'deal'.
I do however keep on getting bombarded by emails from Peter Tyson now though asking me to review my purchase, I don't have the heart to reply sarcastically about their 'generous' first order discount, or their convoluted 'free' extended warranty cover.
Personally think I would prefer to buy from Richer Sounds, but their equivalent of this is the inferior AVR-S760H which is nearly £200 more. As far as I am aware it is only Peter Tyson that are stockists of the AVR-X1700H.
Oddly, Peter Tyson were removed from HUKD for self promotion, how come they are now back? (edited)
Maths by no means my best subject but looks like you paid £62 more to get an extra 4 years warranty. A judgement call at the end of the day. But I agree, it would be better if PT offered the same warranty no matter where the product was sold, especially if they are charging the same price. (edited)
If I was getting this id get the DAB version even if it's slightly more.
I listen to football on the radio (local BBC) and internet radio doesn't allow match commentary. I appreciate this is a niche requirement tho and internet radio will suffice for most
When it works it is incredibly good, Dolby Atmos content is completely immersive and beautifully balanced. I had to replace my front speaker as it was too weak and dialogue was sometimes difficult to hear. With the new Polk (XT30) front speaker as a replacement, it now all works perfectly.
HOWEVER, I have had to send it back twice now in just over a year for repairs after it crapped out on me and I am still getting the odd source change and auto switch on glitch. Neither of my RMA failures was explained to me although I think one may have been caused by bad speaker wiring by myself. The other seems to have been some sort of circuit board burnout. In both cases Denon/Sound Unlimited (?) support was excellent in taking me through detailed troubleshooting. So make sure you check and double check your wiring and also your speaker impedance. Also do go through the Audessey set up - it made a vast difference to me.
Edit: I should clarify I use this for gaming and streaming only (edited)

Delivery day
All connected
Play my fav track
Before the track finished I was packing back Denon.
Requested refund
If you love quality sound in movies and music don't buy it. If you need a receiver with up-to-date features go for it.
B - Denon needs calibrating
C - there is a reason Denon are very popular, they've been producing decent kit for a long time, so you're ridiculous dismissive statement 'if you love quality sound and music don't buy it' is hilarious. Even more so when you say you packed it up after a track your post has zero credibility or basic knowledge of hi-fi / AV
Doubt I'm covered for any price guarantee, but I've I've messaged Peter Tyson on the off chance that it's Friday and they're in a good mood.
Can anyone recommend quality speaker wire or 5.1 speakers?
Using Focal Chorus 817vs (( think that was the number) - and BK Monolith sub - so hopefully adequate for it (as I think the Onkyo was a bit underpowered etc even when did work)
My question is more whether this is future proofing enough? Given I bought my Onkyo in 2010 I imagine I'll want my next amp to last for 10+ years. So should I be getting something that supports more than 7.2?
also, if you like gaming and listening to another input for music while you game, this wont do that.
you will need a chromecast audio, or a hdmi to spdif box with a firestick / googletv stick
i think that may go for most AVR's,, you need audio via spdif / aux and video on hdmi.
unless someone knows different
i have the 1600h.. wonder if they will accept trade up on ebay (edited)
Can anyone recommend decent speakers set up for that reciever? I'm not audiophile and need mostly for gaming and movies, occasionally music (metal/rock).
Thanks in advance.
