About the Harman Kardon AVR 1710S If you're looking to get more from movies, TV, and music, the Harman Kardon AVR 1710S is a great place to start. This 7.2-channel receiver features assignable amplifiers, so you can set up a 7.2-channel surround system with either front height or rear surround speakers to suit your preference. You can even assign two channels to a separate room so you can enjoy stereo music while others watch a movie with 5.2-channel surround sound in the living room. However you choose to arrange your surround speakers, they're sure to sound their best thanks to the the EzSet/EQ III automatic calibration system — it uses an included plug-in microphone to optimize the sound for your specific room and setup. More ways to enjoy music The AVR 1710S has built-in Bluetooth so you can easily stream music from a phone, tablet, or compatible computer. A front-panel USB port gives you quick access to music files stored on thumb drives, smartphones, and other portable devices. Networking capability means you can stream music you have stored on your computer, and you can also listen to thousands of free Internet radio stations worldwide via vTuner. (One important note: you'll need to connect the receiver to your network router via an Ethernet cable.) Apple AirPlay lets you stream music from a compatible Apple device or from any computer with iTunes®. If you have a premium Spotify® account, Spotify Connect lets you enjoy your favorite tunes directly through the receiver.
