Key Features

Seven 100-watt-per-channel amplifiers with high-performance
digital power supply
The AVR 1710 high-performance audio/video receiver pumps out
100 watts per channel to power a full seven-channel surround-sound
system. It can also connect to two powered subwoofers to provide
enhanced low-frequency performance for all your entertainment.
While the amplifiers retain the time-tested, high-current-capacity
(HCC) ultrawide-bandwidth Harman Kardon
most accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity and realism –
even at the highest listening levels, a digitally based power supply
gives the amplifiers all the muscle they need without the weight of
traditional power-supply designs and their heavy transformers. The net
result is a great-sounding AVR in a small form that is friendlier to the
environment.
Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth and DLNA 1.5 technology
The AVR 1710 can stream audio from virtually any portable device.
For Apple devices, such as computers and the iPad, iPhone and
iPod touch, you can stream using the receiver's built-in AirPlay
technology. (AirPlay, vTuner and DLNA connections require a wired
connection to a broadband network.) For other tablets, smartphones
and laptops, you can take advantage of the AVR 1710's integrated
HARMAN TrueStream Bluetooth technology. A USB port is included
on the front of the AVR so you can connect devices directly without an
external adapter or a wireless connection. The AVR is also DLNA 1.5
compliant, which gives you multiple options for delivering content over
your home network.
HARMAN TrueStream technology
The HARMAN TrueStream guarantee ensures the best possible
listening experience when you stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth
technology. HARMAN TrueStream tech selects the most current, most
advanced wireless option to ensure the highest-quality sound, no
matter what application or source device you use.
Six 3D-ready HDMI inputs, including one with MHL
Six HDMI inputs with 3D and 30/36-bit Deep Color deliver high-
definition digital video at resolutions up to 1080p with full-fidelity
audio through a single cable. There is no loss of video or audio quality
because of format conversion, just full-impact Hollywood excitement
as its creators meant you to experience it. And with MHL, you can
deliver high-definition audio/video content from your camera, phone,
tablet or Roku Streaming Stick dongle directly to your HDTV via the
AVR 1710's MHL connection.
Dual subwoofer outputs
Is your listening room so large that you need two subwoofers to deliver
the bass you desire? That's not a problem with the AVR 1710, thanks
to dual subwoofer outputs that give your system a big-time boost in
low-frequency clarity and realism when needed.
Multiroom system with audio output and assignable amplifier
Control the audio in separate rooms with a single receiver. Thanks to
the AVR 1710's assignable amplifiers, you can power the audio in a
second room without adding additional components. That means you
can watch sports in one room while you play the soothing sounds of
classical music in another.
Front-panel USB port
The AVR 1710 gives you multiple options for audio playback with its
front-panel USB port. Simply connect an iPhone, iPad, iPod or USB
stick to play your stored tracks through your home entertainment
system.

New, compact design
The AVR 1710 takes the award-winning Harman Kardon look to a new
level with a flush volume control and more compact design aesthetic
than earlier AVRs. Because of its lighter weight, made possible by an
advanced digital power supply, the unit weighs less without sacrificing
performance. It's the perfect match for the thin glass shelves of today's
open TV/entertainment furniture.
Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding
The AVR 1710 delivers high-resolution audio that matches the digital-
video quality of Blu-ray Disc
™
of movie soundtracks formatted with Dolby
Master Audio coding. No matter what mode or mood you are in,
™
you'll always hear audio playback at its finest.
EzSet/EQ III auto-calibration
The new HARMAN EzSet/EQ III auto-calibration process precisely
adjusts the AVR 1710's volume levels, speaker-distance/delay-time
settings and equalization to optimize audio performance automatically
for your specific speaker system and room conditions. The system
features an easy-to-follow menu display and includes a plug-in
calibration microphone.
HARMAN GreenEdge technology
The HARMAN GreenEdge logo assures you that the AVR 1710's
design is environmentally friendly but won't compromise the premium
performance for which HARMAN products are known. Thanks to
an advanced power supply, the AVR 1710 can deliver high-quality
audio in a small, light chassis that uses less metal and plastic. The
small design means minimal environmental waste and a small carbon
footprint.
vTuner (Internet radio) streaming
The AVR 1710 features vTuner connectivity to bring you a whole world
of online audio entertainment. As soon as it's out of the box, you can
stream over-the-air radio stations from around the globe as well as a
wide range of Internet-only radio stations.
Color-coded connectors and binding-post speaker terminals
All connections on the AVR 1710 are color-coded to simplify hookup
and reduce errors. The color-coded binding-post speaker terminals
on all output channels accept banana plugs (AVR 1710 only), pin
connectors or bare wire to provide secure links for your speaker
cables.
Multidevice, programmable remote control
The AVR 1710 simplifies your life with a programmable infrared (IR)
remote control. Its ergonomic design works seamlessly with the
receiver's multilingual on-screen display, guiding you through system
setup and operation with consummate ease. The multidevice remote
can also control your TV, cable boxes, satellite tuners and other
playback sources. For further installation flexibility, there is a 12-volt
trigger output and a remote IR sensor input.
Harman Kardon remote app for compatible iOS and
Android smartphones and tablets
Taking control to the next level, the Harman Kardon remote app
is available from the iTunes App Store for iOS devices and the
Google Play service for compatible Android products. It will let you use
your compatible smartphone or tablet to drive the AVR 1710 without
picking up the remote.
