State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Fully discrete, identical quality and power for all
7 channels (125 W x 7ch)
To faithfully reproduce the original surround sound, each
of the AVR-1712’s 7 channels is equipped with the same
power amp of equal power. Since these power amps also use
discrete circuits congured with parts strictly selected for their
contribution to high sound quality, rather than with low-cost
integrated circuits (ICs), the surround sound playback is of
impeccably high quality.
• Featuring 3D pass-through technology
By connecting a 3D-compliant Blu-ray disc player and
3D-compliant TV to the AVR-1712, you will have a 3D
home theater where you can enjoy high-definition sound
and video on a level you’ve never experienced before.
• High-denition audio support
The AVR-1712 has a decoder that supports Dolby TrueHD,
the audio format of Blu-ray disc players, and DTS-HD Master
Audio, another high-grade digital audio format.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIz
To let you enjoy an even richer spatial expression, the
AVR-1712 is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic IIz processor.
By connecting Front Height speakers and using Dolby Pro
Logic IIz playback, you will be able to enjoy surround sound in
the vertical as well as horizontal direction.
• Minimum Signal Path for clear audio and video
signal
The “simple and straight” design concept has been thoroughly
implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately
clean audio and video playback. Signal paths are as short as
possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video
circuitry to an absolute minimum.
• Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embody-
ing concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thor-
oughly suppress the adverse inuences of vibration on sound
quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have
been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis.
Direct mounting of feet to the radiator in near proximity to each
other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the power
transformers and other sources of vibration.
• Compressed Audio Restorer to enhance
digital music files
Compressed Audio Restorer is Denon technology that
restores compressed music sources to their original pre-
compressed quality to give you a lively sonic ambience with
greater detail and depth.
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• Dock connectivity for iPod
and network streaming
Network music can be enjoyed via
the Denon Networked Control Dock.
(Requires separately-sold ASD-3N,
ASD-51W or ASD-51N.)
• Supports HDMI (V.1.4a with 3D, Audio Return
Channel) Deep Color, “x.v.Color”, Auto Lipsync
and HDMI control function
•Power Amp Assign function, for versatility in
using the AVR-1712 for different purposes
The AVR-1712 supports up to 7.1 channels (FL/ FR/ C/ SL/
SR/ SBL/ SBR/ SW) for surround playback dened by the
Blu-ray disc format. To enjoy surround playback with the
AVR-1712’s Dolby Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power
amp from the two surround back channels (SBL/SBR) to the
two front height channels (FHL/FHR). Or by assigning the
SBL/SBR power amp to Zone 2, you can enjoy multi-room
audio playback, or to achieve higher-quality sound for 2-channel
stereo playback, you can configure the AVR-1712 for front
bi-amp operation. These are just some of the ways you can
arrange the AVR-1712’s amps to suit various listening styles.
