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 171 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 171’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 171’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 171,
thanks to dual subwoofer outputs that give your system a big-time
boost in low-frequency clarity and realism when needed.
Multiroom system with assignable amplifier
Control the audio in separate rooms with a single receiver. Thanks
to the AVR 171’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 171 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.
