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 If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm that speaker cable and input cable are connected.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.

Procedure ( page 21)

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.

DENON AVR-590 - NOTE - 1

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.

DENON AVR-590 - NOTE - 2

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 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.

Restoring compressed audio to nearly pre-compressed conditions for playback (RESTORER)

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.

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.

DTS Surround

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is the standard digital surround format of DTS, Inc., compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1 or 48kHz and up to 5.1-channels of digital discrete surround sound.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improved version of the conventional DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 signals formats, compatible with sampling frequencies of 96 or 48kHz and up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound. High data bit rate performance provides high quality sound. This format is fully compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel data.

DTS-HD Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio is DTS, Inc's lossless audio format compatible with up to 96 kHz/7.1-channels. The lossless audio coding technology faithfully reproduces the sound of the studio master. It is fully compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel data.

DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1

DTS-ESTM Discrete 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format adding a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround sound. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.

DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1

DTS-ESTM Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format inserting a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround sound through matrix encoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.

DTS NEO:6™ Surround

DTS NEO:6™ is a matrix decoding technology for achieving 6.1-channel surround playback with 2-channel sources. It includes "DTS NEO:6 Cinema" suited for playing movies and "DTS NEO:6 Music" suited for playing music.
