Powerful and versatile yet easy to use.

You don’t live in a mansion – yet. Still, that’s no reason for you not to enjoy the same level of home entertainment as a person who does. We’ve designed the Harman Kardon® AVR 1700 audio/video receiver to handle a remarkable number of high-definition sources and to output audio at levels that will blow your mind yet not blow out your windows. Six HDMI® inputs ensure connectivity to all your DVD, HDTV, Blu-ray Disc™ and video-game sources, while built-in AirPlay and DLNA® 1.5 certified connectivity enable you to play almost every file from compatible computers, tablets and mobile devices – with quality that you wouldn’t have thought was possible. To top it all off, a remote control, intuitive menu system and available mobile app make operation and setup easy for a device this advanced. With the power reserve of a 100-watt-per-channel amplifier, this receiver will not only fill your room with crisp, clear Harman Kardon sound but also make you feel as though you are in a recording studio, movie theater or concert hall while your favorite entertainers are at work.

Harman Kardon engineers have built the AVR 1700 audio/video receiver for a premium home theater experience, with the ability to fill the air with astonishing sound at 100 watts per channel.
