State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Fully discrete, identical quality and power
for all 5 channels (120 W x 5 ch)
To faithfully reproduce the original surround sound, each of
the AVR-591’s 5 channels is equipped with the same power
amp of equal power. Since these power amps also use
discrete circuits configured with parts strictly selected for their
contribution to high sound quality, rather than with low-cost
integrated circuits (ICs), the surround sound playback is of
impeccably high quality.
• Featuring 3D pass-through technology
By connecting a 3D-compliant Blue-ray disc player and
3D-compliant TV to the AVR-591, you will have a 3D home
theatre where you can enjoy high-definition sound and video
on a level you’ve never experienced before.
• Suppor ts HDMI 1.4a with 3D, Audio Return
Channel, Deep Color, “x.v.Color” , Auto Lipsync
and HDMI control function
When you connect the AVR-591 to a TV with a single HDMI
cable, it supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)
(*1) that can play
back the TV audio in surround sound. Until now, if you wanted
to enjoy surround sound from a TV, you needed to use an
optical digital cable or coaxial digital cable to bring sound from
the TV to the A/V receiver. The AVR-591’s ARC feature, how-
ever, helps you keep cable connections neat and out of the
way as you build your home theatre.
*1: The TV must also support ARC.
• High-definition audio support
The AVR-591 has a decoder that supports Dolby TrueHD and
DTS-HD Master Audio, the high resolution audio formats
found on many Blu-ray titles.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIz
To let you enjoy an even richersurround sound experi-
ence, the AVR-591 is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic IIz
processor. By adding a separate 2-channel power amp to the
AVR-591’s pre-out port and connecting a pair of Front Height
speakers, you will be able to enjoy surround sound in the
vertical as well as horizontal direction.
• Minimum Signal Path
for clear audio and video signal
The “simple and straight” design concept has been
thoroughly implemented in the signal paths to contribute to
immaculately clean audio and video playback. Signal paths
are as short as possible to keep signal degradation in the
audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum.
• Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, em-
bodying concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thor-
oughly suppress the adverse influences of vibration on sound
quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have
been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis.
Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near
proximity to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration
with the power transformers and other sources of vibration.
• Compressed Audio Restorer to enhance digital music
files with portable music players
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• 4 x HDMI in / 1 x HDMI out (Repeater)
The AVR-591 provides 4 HDMI inputs that let you simultaneously
connect a variety of HDMI-equipped devices such as a game
console and HD video camera as well as Blu-ray disc player.
•Dock connectivity for iPod and network streaming
Network music can be enjoyed via the Denon Networked Con-
trol Dock. (Requires optional ASD-51W or ASD-51N)
Ease-of-use
• On-Screen Display
With the AVR-591’s on-screen display, you can easily make
settings for your home theatre system while viewing menus on
the TV screen. You can check the status of each setting, such
as the volume level when you’re adjusting the volume, or the
name of the input source when switching input sources.
• Newly developed pre-memory remote control hand-
set with Glo-Key buttons
• Remote Setup Guidance via On-Screen display
• Three Quick Select buttons
• Auto surround mode
• Sleep timer function
• Audio Delay function (max. 6 frames or 200 mSec)
• Muting level settings (Full/-40dB/-20dB)
• Audio level memory, capable of correcting differ-
ent signal levels for each input device
• Variable subwoofer crossover switching
