Setup function that is too kind without really needing instructions
For multifunctional AV equipment, it is a rule that a thick manual is attached and it is genial, but in the case of NR1710, if you connect it to the TV with an HDMI cable for the time being, you can set it up without opening the manual at all.
I follow the instructions of the setup assistant to connect the speaker cable and devices such as the player, but this kindness is amazing. How amazing it is, even the "how to peel off" the tip of the speaker cable will be explained with animation illustrations.

By the way, it also has 8 HDMI inputs. Although it is thin, it has enough terminals. Of course, 4K / 60p video pass-through is possible, and 4K / 60p / 4: 4: 4 / 24bit, 4K / 60p / 4: 2: 0 / 30bit, 4K / 60p / 4: 2: 2 / 36bit, etc. are also supported. .. It also supports BT.2020, HDR10 of HDR video, Dolby Vision, and HLG.
Sound quality settings are also easy. Equipped with an auto setup function "Audyssey MultEQ" that uses a dedicated microphone, the microphone is connected to the front terminal and the sound from the speaker is measured at a maximum of 6 points. It automatically sets the distance between the speaker and listener, the level, and the crossover frequency of the subwoofer to the optimum state.
The measurement microphone needs to be installed near the user's ear, but even the installation stand is attached to the product. It's a paper assembly type, but the assembly itself is super easy and takes less than 5 minutes. On the contrary, it is DIY-like and fun to set while making it yourself. When you start the measurement along the navigation, the speaker makes a "buy, buoy" sound and the measurement is completed. If you set up the network, the setting is completed. Even those who buy an AV amplifier for the first time will be able to complete it without any problems.

For example, if you connect a Fire TV Stick to an HDMI input named "CD", the input name will automatically change to "Fire TV Stick". The input name itself can be customized manually, but I'm glad that it makes it easy to understand without any hassle. You don't have to give a spell-like explanation to a family member who is not familiar with AV equipment, such as "If you want to watch the Fire TV Stick, use a CD as the input."
If you connect the Fire TV Stick, the input name will automatically change to "Fire TV Stick".Around HDMI, there are three more additional features. One is "eARC (Enhanced ARC)". As you know, ARC (Audio Return Channel) transmits the sound of a TV to an AV amplifier when it is connected to a compatible TV via HDMI so that it can be played back from the speakers connected to the AV amplifier. It is a convenient function that requires only one HDMI cable to connect to the TV because it can transmit from the AV amplifier to the TV and vice versa.
eARC is an enhanced version. With recent TVs, the playback application of the video distribution service is installed on the TV itself without connecting a player terminal such as Fire TV, but if you connect to such a device via HDMI, if it supports eARC , Not only linear PCM 5.1ch and 7.1ch, but also lossless audio such as Dolby TrueHD / DTS-HD Master Audio and object audio such as Dolby Atmos / DTS: X can be transmitted while maintaining high sound quality. It's a small story, but it's a feature that needs attention as TV apps are becoming commonplace.
"ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode)" reduces video delay by automatically switching the AV amplifier and TV to low-latency mode during game play when connected to a game console that supports ALLM and a TV.
The last is "multi-input assignment". This allows you to assign one HDMI input to multiple inputs at the same time. For example, if you select the HDMI terminal that is inputting sports video, sports video and audio will be displayed on the TV or projector. CD input can be assigned as output audio to HDMI input. This makes it possible to reproduce a "sports bar-like atmosphere", such as playing music from a CD while displaying sports images.
