ZONE 2 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The Zone 2 remote control is used in the remote zone of a multizone
system with an IR receiver connected to the Zone 2 IR Input or an
A-BUS device. It may be used to control the power, volume and
mute functions or to select a source input for the remote zone, and
to control a Harman Kardon source connected to one of the AVR’s
Remote IR Outputs or the A-BUS IR Output.
The Zone 2 remote may also be used in the main listening room
to directly control the AVR 7550HD and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or
tape players. When the Zone Selector is pressed to switch the remote
to Zone 1 mode (the Zone Indicator will turn green), the power,
volume and mute controls will only affect the main listening area.
To control operation for the remote zone, press the Zone Selector
so that the Zone Indicator turns red.
The Zone 2 remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are
installed in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Make
sure to observe proper polarity by matching the + and – symbols
on the batteries to the symbols printed inside the compartment.
IR Transmitter:
This lens emits infrared codes when buttons
on the remote are pressed.
Power:
Press to turn the AVR 7550HD on or off. The AVR also
turns on its multizone system automatically when any of the Input
Selectors is pressed, even if the AVR itself is in Standby mode.
When in the main listening room, press any Input Selector or the
AVR Selector to turn on the AVR 7550HD.
Mute:
Press to mute the AVR 7550HD’s remote zone speakers
temporarily. To end the muting, press this button, adjust the volume,
or turn off the multizone system. Make sure to switch the remote
to Zone 2 mode, so that only the remote zone will be affected.
Source Selectors:
Press one of these buttons to select a
source device for the remote zone. It will also turn on the multizone
system and switch the remote to the source’s device mode. You
may select a different external source device than that for the main
room, but not different internal sources (the tuner, USB, Internet
Radio or the Network). If you select the same source as that for
the main room, then any commands sent to the source will affect
both zones. The first press of the Radio Selector switches the AVR
to the last-used tuner band (AM, FM or XM). Each successive press
changes the band. Each press of the Network Button toggles
between the Network and Internet Radio sources.
Transport Controls:
These buttons are used to control
many source components.
AVR Settings Button:
Press to display the AVR’s Main
Menu. It is also used to switch the remote to AVR device mode.
Sleep Settings Button:
Press to activate the sleep timer,
which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of
up to 90 minutes. Each additional press decreases the timer by
10 minutes, ending with the “Sleep Off” message.
Back/Exit:
Press to return to the previous menu or to exit the
menu system.
Menu Button:
This button is used within the Now Playing
menu for the tuner (including XM Radio), USB, The Bridge II, Internet
Radio and the Network, and to display the main menu on some
source devices. To display the AVR 7550HD’s main menu, press the
AVR Settings Button.

and OK Buttons:
These buttons
are used to make selections within the menu system and also to
operate the tuner, USB, The Bridge II, Internet Radio and the
Network device.
Zone Selector and Zone Indicator:
Each press
of the Zone Selector determines whether the AVR commands will
affect the main listening area (Zone 1) or the remote zone (Zone 2).
The Zone Indicator will turn green when Zone 1 has been selected,
and red for Zone 2. The Zone Indicator will also light briefly when-
ever any button is pressed.
Volume Controls:
Press to raise or lower the volume level
in the remote zone.
