INITIAL SETUP
As the EzSet/EQ II system tests each speaker, its position will appear
on screen. If the test sweep is heard from a different speaker than
the one indicated on screen, turn off the AVR and check the speaker-
wire connections, then begin again.
When the Speaker Detection test is completed, select the Continue
option. The results will be displayed, along with these options:
• The Retest option repeats the EzSet/EQ II process. Increase the
master volume manually, if some speakers were not correctly
detected.
• Select Cancel to return to the Speaker Setup menu.
See the Advanced Functions section for instructions on how to
manually configure the speakers or manually adjust the settings
established by the EzSet/EQ II process.
During the Near Field test, follow the instructions that appear on
screen. You may be directed to hold the microphone about 2 feet
away from some speakers.
When the test is finished, you will be given the option of saving
the EzSet/EQ II test results in one of two “listening positions”, or
not saving the results at all. The purpose is to allow you to run the
EzSet/EQ II tests for two different frequently used listening positions
within the room to optimize performance, depending on how you
use the room.
After the results have been saved, the menu for manual adjustment
of the listening position settings will appear. See the Advanced
Functions section for instructions on manually adjusting the speaker
settings.
If you do not save the results, you may go back and repeat the
EzSet/EQ II test.
You may adjust the settings for either listening position, or repeat
the EzSet/EQ II test, from the Speaker Setup menu (Figure 21).
Set Up Sources
The Info Settings menu is used to assign the correct physical audio
and video connections to each source.
The following settings are not optional and must be adjusted now
to enable playback of each source: Video Input From Source, Audio
Input From Source and Resolution to Display. The other settings
may be adjusted later.
To display the Info Settings menu, press the Info Settings Button
(front panel or remote). Or, from the Main Menu, select the Setup
Source line and select a source from the slide-in menu. A screen
similar to the one shown in Figure 22 will appear.

Audio Effects:
Displays the Audio Effects submenu, where
you may adjust the Dolby Volume setting, the bass and treble tone
controls, and the LFE trim, or you may select the EzSet/EQ II listening
position. These settings affect each source independently. Leave
this submenu at its default settings, and return to it later if your
system requires fine-tuning. See the Advanced Functions section
for more information.
Video Modes:
Displays the Video Modes submenu, where you
may make picture adjustments for each source independently. Leave
the settings at their factory defaults. Picture adjustments should be
made to your video display first, with this menu used only for fine-
tuning. See the Advanced Functions section for more information.
S
urround Modes:
Displays the Surround Modes submenu,
where you may program surround modes for analog movies, music
and games for each source independently.
Digital surround signals, such as Dolby Digital and DTS, are auto-
matically played in their native formats, although you may change
the surround mode. See the Advanced Functions section for more
information.
Audio Format From Source:
This line is informational
only. When a digital program is playing, its format will be identified
here. When analog audio programs are playing, this line displays
ANALOG.
Audio and Video Input Selection
See Table A2 in the appendix for the factory default input assignments
for each source. You may assign any available input to any source
using the Info Settings menu.
When a source is selected, the AVR will check the assigned digital
audio input for a signal. If one is present, the digital input will be
selected. If not, the AVR will select the analog audio input specified
at the Audio Auto Polling line of the Info Settings menu. If you don’t
want the AVR to select an analog audio input for the source, leave
this setting at its default of Off.
The AVR will also select the assigned video source. The only “audio-
only” sources on the AVR 7550HD are the Radio, The Bridge II
(video may be available; see page 37), USB, the Network and
Internet Radio, which use special on-screen menus. If no video
signal is present, the display will remain black. You may pair an
audio device with an A/V device’s video signal using the Info
Settings menu. Sources may share audio or video inputs.
NOTE:
The Bridge II obtains its audio and video signals
(when available) from the iPod docked in it, and it may not
be used with other audio or video sources.
Video Input From Source:
Assign the correct video
input. Refer to Table 2, where you noted the physical video input
the source is connected to, and select that input here.
Audio Input From Source:
Assign the correct analog or
digital audio input. Refer to Table 2, where you noted the physical
audio input the source is connected to, and select that input here.
If both analog and digital audio connections were made, select the
digital input here, and select the analog input at the Audio Auto
Polling and Zone 2 Audio lines below.
