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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
T
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:
U
