Remote Control Functions
Direct Button: Press this button when the
tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct
entry of a station's frequency. After pressing the
button simply press the proper Numeric Keys
to select a station (See page 31 for more
information on the tuner).
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 but-
ton has been pressed or the Band button
on the front panel was held pressed so that
the AUTO indicator is illuminated, pressing
either of the buttons will cause the tuner to seek
the next station with acceptable signal strength
for quality reception. When the AUTO indicator
is NOT illuminated, pressing these buttons will
tune stations in single-step increments. (See page
31 for more information.)

to store or recall a "Macro", which is a
pre-programmed sequence of commands
stored in the remote. (See page 35 for more
information on storing and recalling macros.)
Transport Buttons: These buttons do not
have any functions for the AVR, but they may be
programmed for the forward/reverse play opera-
tion of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and
audio or video- cassette recorders. (See page 35
for more information on programming the
remote.)
Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons
do not have a direct function with the
AVR 3550, but when used with a compatibly
programmed CD or DVD changer they will
change the tracks on the disc currently being

raise or lower the system volume.
TV/Video Button: This button does not
have a direct function on the AVR 3550, but
when used with a compatibly programmed VCR,
DVD or satellite receiver that has a "TV/Video"
function, pressing this button will switch
between the output of the player or receiver and
the external video input to that player. Consult
the Owner's Manual for your specific player or
receiver for the details of how it implements this
function.
SPL Indicator Select: This button acti-
vates the AVR 3550's EzSet function to quickly
and accurately calibrate the AVR's output levels.
Press and hold the button for three seconds and
then release it. Note that the Test Tone will
begin circulating, and the Program Indicator
will change colors. During this sequence,
EzSet will automatically adjust the output levels
for all channels until they are equal, as shown by
