Tuning Up/Down:
When the tuner is in
use, these buttons will tune up or down through
the selected frequency band. If the
Tuner Mode
button
I
has been pressed or the
Band
but-
ton
@
on the front panel was held pressed so
that the
AUTO
indicator
J
is illuminated, press-
ing either of the buttons will cause the tuner to
seek the next station with acceptable signal
strength for quality reception. When the
AUTO
indicator
J
is NOT illuminated, pressing these
buttons will tune stations in single-step
increments. (See page 40 for more information.)
L
OSD Button:
Press this button to activate
the On Screen Display (OSD) system used to set
up or adjust the AVR 5550’s parameters.
M
Dolby Mode Selector:
This button is used
to select one of the available Dolby Surround
processing modes. Each press of this button will
select one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes, Dolby
3 Stereo or Dolby Digital. Note that the Dolby
Digital mode is only available with a digital input
selected and the other modes only as long as a
Dolby Digital source is not playing (except Pro
Logic II with Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings, see
Note on page 7). See page 29 for the available
Dolby surround mode options.
N
DTS Digital Mode Selector:
When a DTS
source is in use the AVR 5550 will select the
appropriate mode automatically and no other
mode will be available. Pressing this button will
display the mode currently selected by the AVR´s
decoder, depending on the surround material
played and the speaker setting (see item
6
,
page 5). When a DTS source is not in use, this
button has no function. (See page 24, 29 for the
available DTS options.)
O
Logic 7 Selector:
Press this button to select
one of the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See
page 29 for the available Logic 7 options.)
P
Transport Control Buttons:
These buttons
do not have any functions for the AVR 5550, but
they may be programmed for the forward/reverse
play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD
players, and audio or video- cassette recorders.
(See page 42 for more information on program-
ming the remote.)
Q
Light Button:
Press this button to activate
the remote’s built-in backlight for better legibility
of the buttons in a darkened room.
Skip Up/Down Buttons:
These buttons do
not have a direct function with the AVR 5550,
but when used with a compatibly programmed
CD or DVD player/changer they will change the
tracks on the disc currently being played.
Stereo Mode Select Button:
Pressing this
selector button cycles through the stereo modes,
and it is also used to turn off all surround
processing and place the unit in a traditional
two-channel Stereo mode. The first press selects
5-Channel Stereo or 7-Channel Stereo, depend-
ing on the selection (5.1 or 6.1/7.1) made in the
surround mode setting, see page 24, and the
second selects “SURROUND OFF,” which is true
Stereo.
DTS Neo:6 Mode Selector:
Pressing this
selector button cycles the AVR through the
various DTS Neo:6 modes, which extract a five- or
seven-channel surround field from two-channel
program material (from PCM source or analog
input signal). The first press selects the last DTS
Neo:6 surround mode that was in use, and each
subsequent press selects the next mode in the
following order:
Macro Buttons:
Press these buttons to
store or recall a “Macro”, which is a pre-pro-
grammed sequence of commands stored in the
remote. (See page 44 for more information on
storing and recalling macros.)
!
RDS Select Button:
Press this button to dis-
play the various messages that are part of the RDS
data system of the AVR 5550’s tuner. (See page 40
for more information on RDS).
"
Preset Up/Down:
When the tuner is in use,
press these buttons to scroll through the stations
programmed into the AVR 5550’s memory. When
CD or DVD is selected using the
