| Front Height | Front Height speakers | (7.1) |
Connecting the Speakers

Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and - (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-590, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1 Peel off about 10 ~mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

3 Insert the speaker cable's core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.

4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before inserting the banana plug.


Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms.
NOTE
- Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other ("Protection circuit").
- Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated and the power indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated, and the power supply goes to the standby state. If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm that speaker cable and input cable are connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an impedance less than that specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power supply will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will flash red at 2 second intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the AVR-590 has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and connections, in the event of the protection circuit becoming activated,
due to thinking that the AVR-590 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

Check Audyssey Auto Setup Measurement
Results (Parameter Check) ( page 23)
Important Information
Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.
- When the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure is performed, the MultEQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume functions (K page 41) are enabled.
- Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure.
- Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in [Example ①]. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in [Example ②], measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
NOTE
- Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.
- Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.
- Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
Step 1 : Connect the included Setup Microphone
NOTE
- Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure is completed.
- When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure.
1 Check the speaker connections.
page 11 "Connecting the Speakers"
2 Turn on the power of the TV and subwoofer.
Set the TV's input to the AVR-590.
3 Turn on the AVR-590's power.
page 16 "Turning the Power On"
4 Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.
The Audyssey Auto Setup screen appears automatically.

5 Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and install it at the main listening position.
When installing the setup microphone, adjust its height so that the section where the sound is received is at the height of the ears during listening.

NOTE
- Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements.
- Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
When using a subwoofer on which the volume can be adjusted and the crossover frequency can be set
When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure:
When using a subwoofer with a direct mode
Set the direct mode to "On" and disable the volume adjustment and crossover frequency setting.
When using a subwoofer without a direct mode
Make the following settings:
Volume : "12 o'clock position"
- Crossover frequency : "Maximum/Highest Frequency"
- Low pass filter : "Off"
- Standby mode : "Off"
Step 2: Audyssey Auto Setup Preparations

around items indicate the settings made upon purchase.
If adjustment to the environment is necessary, set the following items before proceeding.
Changing the PRE OUT connectors assignment (Pre Assign)

To cancel Audyssey Auto Setup
Use to select "Cancel", then use to select "Yes".
Step 3 : Performing the Audyssey Auto Setup Procedure
- The Audyssey Auto Setup function detects the presence of each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel level, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. Audyssey MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
- Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each speaker.
- Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.
1 Press to select "Start", then press ENTER.
Detection of the speaker configuration starts.

2 Once all the speakers have been detected and the screen on the right appears, check the results of detection of the connected speakers.

3 Once you have checked the results, use to select "Next", then press ENTER.
Measurements for the main listening position begin.
4 Once the screen on the right appears, move the setup microphone to the second position, use to select "Next", then press ENTER.

Measurements for the second position begin.
5 Perform Step 4 repeatedly for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th measurments.
Once measurements for the sixth position are completed, "All the measurements were finished." is displayed.
Measure at a total of six positions, including the main listening position and positions around it. It is possible to stop the settings with five positions or fewer, but for better results we recommend measuring at six positions.
6 Once measurements are finished, use to select "Calculate", then press ENTER. Analysis begins.
※ Analysis takes several minutes to complete. The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers connected. The greater the number of speakers connected, the longer analysis will take.


7 Use to select the item you want to check, then press ENTER.
The measurement result confirmation screen is displayed.
Subwooers or other speakers may be set to a value that does not correspond to the actual distance.


Press RETURN.
This returns you to analysis results items, so repeat step 7.


Press to select "Next", then press ENTER.

10 Press to select "Store", then press
"Storing Please wait..." is displayed on the onscreen display while the results are being stored. When storing is complete, "Storing complete. Auto Setup is now finished." is displayed on the onscreen display.

If you do not want to save the measurement results, use to select "Cancel", then select "Yes" using All the measured Audyssey Auto Setup data will be erased.

NOTE
Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.
12 Disconnect the setup microphone from the AVR-590.
NOTE
Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume, or speaker locations after making measurements. If changes are necessary, make the changes and use the Audyssey Auto Setup once again for an updated EQ solution.

- If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error message appears, use to on-screen display "Retry" and then press
ENTER to repeat the measurement. - If the result still differs from the actual connection status after remeasurement or the error message still appears, it is possible that the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-590 off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurement process from the beginning.
- For instance, If the location or direction of a speaker is altered, the Audyssey Auto Setup should be performed again to ensure the correct EQ solution for the new room configuration.

Default settings are underlined.
- Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio signals.
- This can be set with analog signals or when a PCM signal (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) is input.
Setting contents
OFF: Do not use RESTORER.
Mode1 (RESTORER 64) : Optimized mode for compressed sources with very weak highs.

Assigning buttons that are Not Used to Operate Other Devices (Punch Through Function)
When the remote control unit's device mode is set to "TV" or "SAT/CBL", the next "TUNER", "DVD", "HDP", "iPod", "DVR" or "VCR" operation can be performed without switching the remote control unit's device mode.
- One device each can be assigned to the "TV" and "SAT/CBL" device modes.
- Assignable buttons

Cautions during operation
When registering a punch through function, point the remote control transmitter toward the AVR-590. The status of the registration operation is displayed on the AVR-590.

Press the source select button for the device to be assigned.
When registration is completed, "RC SETUP OK" appears on the display.
※ If the codes could not be registered, "RC SETUP NG" appears on the display. Try again.

NOTE
If the "TV" or "SAT/CBL" preset code is changed after setting the punch through function, the punch through setting is canceled.
Other Information
Surround
The AVR-590 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels ("FL", "FR" and "C"), 2 surround channels ("SL" and "SR") and the "LFE" channel for low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic sound field with a "three-dimensional" feeling (sense of distance, movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly prioritizing sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz or greater) to create a "three-dimensional" sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: "Music" suited for playing music, "Cinema" suited for playing movies, and "Game" which is optimized for playing games.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users to enjoy in their homes the "DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND EX" audio format jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back channels, provide improved sound positioning and expression of space.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Dolby Pro Logic IIz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and videogame playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic IIz height channel information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home entertainment. Dolby Pro Logic IIz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative for households that cannot support the placement of back surround speakers of a typical 7.1 channel system but may have bookshelf space available to support the addition of height speakers.
