instructions should be adhered to.
Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
4.
5. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;
or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.
16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.
20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this
indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

b About 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.
b About 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.

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
Center speakerSubwoofer
Surround speakers
interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm

the speaker cable, then either
twist the core wire tightly or
terminate it.
Turn the speaker terminal
2
counterclockwise to loosen
it.
Insert the speaker cable’s
3
core wire to the hilt into the
speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal
4
clockwise to tighten it.
When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
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-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 activated, due to
thinking that the AVR-589 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

Specifications
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.

Connecting Equipment with HDMI connectors
MonitorDVD player
When HDMI input signals are sent to the
monitor as HDMI output, both video and
audio are output to the monitor.
NOTE
The audio signal input to the HDMI
input connector cannot be played
on the AVR-589. Input the audio signal
to the digital audio input connector or
analog audio input connector.
ENGLISH
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.
• 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.
