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.
