In response to the corporate priority of collecting new technologies, the Collection and Research Branch identified in December 2012 (A. Adamek acquisition proposal) the theme of consumer culture as an area of focus. This device was collected for: technical innovation, research collection, and representation of type. In the early 1990’s, the experience of listening to movie and video soundtracks via two-speaker hi-fidelity stereo began to make way to the home theatre boom as consumers who adopted the technology either converted current systems to home theatre, or purchased entirely new ones for the home. A branching off of functions became apparent, stereo use for listening to music and radio broadcasts began to separate itself from home theatre for listening and viewing video and DVD’s of Hollywood blockbuster movies on home televisions. This shift effectively brought the cinematic experience into the living room, encircling the big screen television owner and early adopter in a 3-D sound scape which duplicated the multi-dimensional sound effects found at a cinema. Seeking the immersive experience (at a reasonable cost) of listening, feeling, and viewing a movie found at a typical Cineplex became the home theatre holy grail. A boom for the speaker industry as the typical two-speaker stereo pair gave way to five or more, home theatre was initially thought of as a fad by hi-fi purists. The mid-1990’s and 2000’s was an era of tremendous growth as the appearance and continually falling prices of consumer electronics began to leave their mark, in particular big screen TV’s, computers, smart phones and gaming platforms. The gradual disappearance and phasing out of cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions gave way to digital HD TV in forever improving formats such as LCD, plasma, and OLED. Analog gave way to digital HD, Apple “iAnything” became a game changer, ubiquitous devices capable of integration with many electronic platforms. Today, those first generation home theatre receivers have evolved to devices capable of the ever increasing presence and functionality of the 2000’s media boom. First gen AM/FM home theatre receivers have now evolved to be integrated network receivers. Their new function, the capacity of streaming, (the consumption of) media from any and every source possible. See acquisition proposal for more information.

Fonction

Microphone used to set up the speakers and "network" for the home theatre.

Technique

Acting as a multimedia hub, the AVR-1713 contains a microprocessor making it capable of functioning as a media server to support internet radio, music, photograph and video streaming, 802.11n WiFi, network attached storage (NAS), as well as USB and Ethernet connectivity for devices such as iPod, iPhone and tablets. While this device fulfills the traditional role of receiving FM radio broadcasts, it is not a primary function. Notable is the absence of the AM band, perhaps signaling an end to the early beginnings of radio, and current viability of air play in this frequency. The use of high definition media interface (HDMI) inputs supports plug and play of a set-top box, DVD player, Blu-ray disc player, internet connected gaming console such as new generation Xbox, media players such as BoxeeBox, Apple TV, or Roku. The USB port allows connecting of an iPod or any USB memory device. The LAN port/Ethernet broadband connectivity allows for a home PC computer with router, modem, and network attached storage (NAS) to be used for media streaming from a home network or the web. With internet connectivity, this receiver can automatically receive manufacturer’s updates of the receiver’s firmware. The unit which plays Windows based media also supports play-back of on-line services such as viewing images on Flickr, listening to Pandora music or SiriusXM radio. A Denon app can now turn any iPod, iTouch, or iPhone into a highly capable remote control, complete for some, with Apple’s Retina screen. See Technical Characteristics below or Owner’s Manual for additional technical info.
