E4 DYNAMIC VOLUME button··················(27, 28)
bAbout Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem
of large variations in volume level between
television programs, commercials, and between
the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is integrated into
Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume
is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression,
and dialog clarity remain the same.
bAbout Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased
by taking into account human perception and
room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in
tandem with Audyssey MultEQ®to provide well-
balanced sound for every listener at any volume
level.

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-589,
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.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using
front A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an
impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• 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 (v“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 sup-
ply is turned off, after the power cord is withdrawn, please confirm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-589 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 acti-
vated, due to thinking that the AVR-589 has failed, please contact
DENON Service center after switching off.

bThe AVR-589 is equipped for HDMI version 1.3a. This version
is compatible with other versions, allowing connection to all
components equipped with an HDMI connector.
bThe AVR-589 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.
bThe AVR-589 can be connected to a device equipped with an HDMI
output connector using an HDMI cable.
bThe AVR-589 is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.3a Deep Color and
xvYCC.
• The audio and video signals input to the AVR-589’s HDMI input
connector are output unchanged from the HDMI output connector.
Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected
using the HDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the
AVR-589’s playback sound, turn the TV’s volume down.
• If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector,
use an HDMI/DVI converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no
audio signals are transmitted.
• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color
compatible devices.
When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable
(adapter)
• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI
format.
When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D
connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter
cable, but depending on the combination of components in some
cases the video signals will not be output.
• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video
signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with
the connected cable, etc.
NOTE
• The AVR-589 cannot be controlled from another device via the HDMI
cable.
• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match
the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the DVD player’s
resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.
• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI
product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback
may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the
HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep
color signal transfer is not possible.
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal
transfer is not possible.
When HDMI input signals are sent to the monitor as HDMI output,
both video and audio are output to the monitor.

Preparations
• Audyssey MultEQ automatically measures the acoustical problems
in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for
your home theater.
• Audyssey MultEQ optimizes a large listening area where one or
more listeners are seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A409) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Example q. 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 w,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 19, 20.
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.

About the Auto Setup
The Audyssey MultEQ 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.
Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.
NOTE
Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after
“Step 1”.
If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements
again (vpage 17).
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the first
measurement position (main listening position). The following
attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker
Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”.
q Press owhile “Auto Set<Start” is displayed.
b To operate from the remote control unit, be sure to set the
[SOURCE CONTROL 1] to “AUDIO”.
• While the measurements are being conducted “Measure:FL
<Ccl” (“FL” indicates the speaker being measured) is displayed.
• When the measurements are completed, the number of detected
speakers is displayed.
Example : For a 5.1 channel speaker configuration
Speaker:3/2/.1
Step 1 : Speaker Detection
• If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error
message appears, use ito display “Retry<” and then press oto
repeat the measurement.
• If the result still differs from the actual connection status after
re-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possible
that the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-589
off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurement
process from the beginning.

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.
Measure at 6 positions: the main listening position and 5 other
surrounding positions. Although it is allowable to measure less than 6
positions, it is recommended to measure 6for best results.
NOTE
• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup
procedure is completed.
• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting
the auto setup procedure.
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).
• Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel
the measurements.
• To cancel the measurements, press owhile “Measure:FL <Ccl”
is displayed (“Ccl” stands for “Cancel”).
Step 3 : Calculation
The values obtained from the measurements are automatically
analyzed and the attributes for each of the speakers in the listening
area are determined.
q Press owhile “Calculate” is displayed.
• “Calculating” is displayed and 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.
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 MultEQ auto
setup once again for an updated EQ solution.
