4Headphone Jack: This jack may be used to listen to the AVR 5550’s output through a pair of headphones. Be certain that the headphones have a standard 6.3 mm stereo phone plug. Note that the main room speakers and all Preamp Outputs will automatically be turned off when the headphone jack is in use.

Dolby Modes ➜ DTS Digital Modes ➜ VMAx Modes ➜ DSP Modes ➜ Stereo Modes ➜ Logic 7 Modes

Once the button is pressed so that the name of the desired surround mode group appears in the on-screen display and in the Lower Display Line B, press the Surround Mode Selector 9to cycle through the individual modes available. For example, press this button to select Dolby modes, and then press the Surround Mode Selector

9to choose from the various mode options.

6Speaker Selector: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR 5550 for the type of speakers it is being used with. For complete information on configuring the speaker settings using the front-panel controls see page 21.
