Denon AVC-X4700H user manual

The Denon AVC-X8500H is considered the flagship model and the best Denon AVC receiver currently available. It offers top-of-the-line audio quality, features, and performance for home theater setups.

The main difference between Denon AVR (Audio Video Receiver) and AVC (Audio Video Controller) is the level of control and features available in each.
AVR receivers are all-in-one units that combine audio and video processing, amplification, and connectivity options in a single device. They are designed to receive audio and video signals from various sources, process them, and then amplify and output them to speakers and a display. These receivers typically have built-in amplifiers and are meant to be the heart of a home theater system.
On the other hand, AVCs are part of a more modular setup, where the audio and video processing and amplification are separated into different units. An AVC is primarily responsible for audio processing and can be used in combination with separate power amplifiers and video processors. It provides control over audio signals, supports advanced audio formats, and offers greater flexibility for integrating with other components in a custom home theater setup.
Ultimately, while AVR receivers are more suitable for most home theater enthusiasts, AVCs are targeted towards users who want more control and customization options in their audio system, often for advanced setups or professional use.

To reset your Denon AVC-X4700H receiver, you can follow these steps:
1. Make sure the power is on and the unit is in standby mode.
. Press and hold the "Power" button on the front panel of the receiver until it starts flashing.

There could be several reasons why you are not getting sound on your Denon AVC-X4700H. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check the connections: Ensure that all the audio cables are securely connected to the correct ports on both the receiver and your audio sources (such as a Blu-ray player, TV, or gaming console).
2. Verify the input source: Make sure you have selected the correct input source on the receiver. Use the remote control or the front panel display to select the appropriate input source.
3. Check the volume levels: Ensure that the volume level on the receiver is turned up and not muted. Also, check if any other settings like the audio mode or sound processing options are affecting the sound output.
4. Test with different audio sources: Connect different audio sources to the receiver (e.g., Blu-ray player, DVD player, or streaming device) to determine if the issue lies with a specific source or it is a general problem.
5. Reset the receiver: Power off the receiver and unplug it from the power source for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and power it on. This will perform a soft reset, which might resolve any temporary issues.
6. Update firmware: Visit the Denon website to check for any available firmware updates for your receiver model. Updating the firmware can fix bugs and improve performance.
If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Denon customer support or consider seeking professional assistance to diagnose and fix the issue with your Denon AVC-X4700H.
