each input source as following procedures.
Press the AMP button and press the A/D (0)

jacks are selected automatically.
In Digital mode, input is fixed to an assigned digital
input terminal.
In analog mode, the analog input jacks are selected.
This selecting is temporary, so the result will not be
stored in memory.

listening to may be recorded simply by placing
machines connected to the outputs for TAPE OUT,
CD-R/MD OUT, VCR1 OUT, and DSS/VCR2 OUT
in the record mode.

Press the HT-EQ button on the front panel to turn
on the HT-EQ mode.
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be
excessively bright and harsh when played back
over audio equipment in the home. This is because
film soundtracks were designed to be played back
in large movie theater environments.
Activating the HT-EQ feature when watching a film
made for movie theaters corrects this and restores
the correct tonal balance.
The HT-EQ feature is available except in the
following modes.

• 7.1 CH INPUT

• PURE-DIRECT
• When VIRTUAL is set for the surround mode
7.1 CH INPUT
The SR5500 is equipped for future expansion

When this is selected, the input signals connected
to the L(front left), R (front right), CENTER, SL
(surround left), SR (surround right) and SBL
(surround back left) and SBR (surround back right)
channels of the 7.1 CH. In jacks are output directly
to the front (left and right), center, surround (left
and right) and surround back speaker systems as
well as the pre-out jacks without passing through
the surround circuitry.
In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer)
jack is output to the PRE OUT SW (subwoofer)
jack.
When 7.1 CH. INPUT is selected, the last video
input used remains routed to the Monitor Outputs.
This permits simultaneous viewing with video
