INSTALLATION
Learning
You may “learn” individual key codes if you have the device’s original remote control by following this procedure:
a)Place the two remotes with their IR transmitters facing each other, about one inch apart. See Figure 39.
Figure 39 – AVR 3550HD and Original Remote
b)Press the destination Source Selector, then press and hold the Learn Button until the Source Selector lights up. See Figure 40.
Figure 40 – Learning Remote Commands
c)Press the destination button, and the Source Selector will flash once. You may learn a new code into the following buttons: Device Power On/Off, Alphanumeric Keys, Last Button, Back/Exit Button, Menu Button, ⁄/¤/‹ / › Navigation Buttons, OK Button, Disc Menu Button, the four Teletext Buttons, Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down, Mute and the Transport Controls (including Record).
d)Press and hold the source button until the Source Selector flashes three times.
e)Program additional buttons by repeating steps c) and d). Press the Learn Button once to exit Learning mode, or wait for the remote to “time out” and exit Learning mode on its own after about 30 seconds.
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function when used to control the AVR 3550HD. However, the button may per- form a different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A13 in the Appendix.
Activities are preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code commands with a single button press.
Step Nine – Remote IR Inputs and Output (Optional)
The AVR 3550HD is equipped with a Remote IR Input, a Zone 2 Input, an

When the AVR 3550HD is placed inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack. For multizone operation, connect an optional IR receiver, keypad or other control device to the Zone 2 IR Input for remote control of the AVR 3550HD (and any sources connected to the AVR’s Remote IR Output) from the remote zone. Any signals transmitted through the Zone 2 IR Input will control source selection and volume for the remote zone only. If a source device is shared with the main listening area, any control commands issued to that source will also affect the main room.
If any source devices are equipped with a compatible Remote IR Input, use a 1/8"
The AVR 3550HD outputs a “stripped carrier” IR signal through the Remote IR Output, but a
The AVR 3550HD is also equipped with an
To control more than one source device through the Remote IR Output, connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, connecting each device’s IR output to the next device’s IR input, starting with the AVR. Connect devices expecting a
Step Ten – Install a Multizone System (Optional)
The AVR 3550HD offers several methods of distributing audio to other areas in your home.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Installing a multizone system typically requires running cables inside walls. Always comply with the appropriate safety codes when installing concealed wiring, particularly all applicable state and local building codes and the NEC (National Electrical Code). Failure to do so may present a safety hazard. If you have any doubt about your ability to work with electrical and telecommunications wiring, hire a licensed electrician or custom installer to install the multizone system.
When the system is installed using methods 2 or 3 below, multizone operation takes over the Surround Back/Zone 2 amplifier channels, limiting the system in the main listening room to 5.1 channels.
