The AVR-591 is a decade-old HDMI 1.4 receiver. If you find yourself fighting constant handshake issues even after the latest firmware, consider that modern receivers starting at $300–400 offer 4K HDR, Dolby Atmos, eARC, and trouble-free HDMI 2.1 connectivity. Sometimes the best “patch” is an upgrade.

Denon's official firmware flashing utilities run exclusively on Windows operating systems (Windows 7 through Windows 11).

While the AVR-591 itself lacks Wi-Fi, its higher-end sibling the AVR-1611 includes network connectivity. Many firmware components are shared across the model family. Network-related patches improved DLNA media streaming stability and reduced buffering issues when accessing content from networked PCs or NAS devices.

Denon acknowledged several of these issues in 2012–2013 and released incremental updates. But the most significant update—the one that users now refer to as the —arrived quietly in 2014 as version 00.70.19 (later reflected as 7000-0049-7031 in some service menus).

| Symptom | Before Patch | After Patch | |--------|-------------|--------------| | Xbox/PS4 no signal | Random black screen | Stable 1080p/60 | | ARC audio from TV | Works once, then dies | Reliable after reset | | Unit shuts off at -20dB volume | False DC offset trip | Normal operation | | OSD overlay disappears | Common bug | Fully restored |

Run a Digital Optical Audio Cable (Toslink) from your TV's "Optical Out" to the "Optical In" port on the back of the AVR-591. This ensures stable 5.1 Dolby Digital playback without HDMI handshake drops. 3. Fixing the "No Sound" HDMI Bug

The "patch" described below is a that resets the DSP and HDMI board logic. This solves 90% of "No Picture" and "Auto Shutdown" errors on aging units.
