■Dual Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround

The AVR-1707 is equipped with a total of 7 power amps including 2 for the Surround Back channel speaker to give you more clearly defined sound localization at the rear for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.

■Configurable surround back amplifiers

•Multi-zone system: a 5.1-channel theater in the main room and a stereo environment in a second room.

•"Bi-amp" system: Front (L/R) channels are bi-wired in a 5.1-channel theater to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.

■Cinema Equalizer

The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-1707 features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)
