It includes four HDMI™ inputs, provides HDMI V1.3a capability and can pass video signals to 1080p. The AVR 7550HD employs Faroudja DCDi Cinema™ digital-video processing that utilizes the leading-edge Torino chipset, providing upscaled and enhanced 1080p image quality from all video sources. The receiver is also compatible with HDMI V1.3a Deep Color devices.

The receiver is among the first to include Dolby® Volume technology. Dolby Volume is an innovative approach to delivering consistent volume levels across a wide variety of content, channel programming or input sources. Using a psychoacoustic model of human hearing, Dolby Volume analyzes, measures and controls perceived volume levels.

The AVR 7550HD also provides DTS-HD Master Audio™ decoding, and can process 7.1-channel PCM audio delivered to its HDMI inputs. It features HDMI repeater functionality, enabling the use of longer cable lengths.

The AVR 7550HD is the first receiver to utilize the latest generation Texas Instruments™ Aureus™ DA710 audio digital signal processor in a dual-DSP implementation.

The AVR 7550HD incorporates a Harman Kardon-exclusive newly developed high-definition full-color on-screen menu system that utilizes both pictures and text to guide users in setting up their home theater system. Complementing the interface, the AVR 7550HD includes a redesigned backlit remote control.

The AVR 7550HD has a built-in USB port that allows users to listen to music from a USB memory stick that contains MP3 or Windows Media® Audio music tracks. The receiver’s remote can control the USB memory stick’s playback functions, and the USB port can also be used to accommodate streaming audio from a computer, and for software updates (when available). The receiver also includes an Internet radio tuner.

The AVR 7550HD provides multiroom audio and video capability for connected A/V sources, including an iPod. It includes multiroom preamp and video outputs, an amplifier section that can be used in either 7.1-channel mode or switched to 5.1-plus-stereo dual-zone configuration, and a Zone II remote control. The receiver incorporates the A-BUS® system for multizone audio connectivity, using a single Cat. 5 cable to connect a receiver in one room to a Harman Kardon AB 2 or AB 1 amplified in-wall control/amplifier module in a second room, or a Harman Kardon ABH 4000 or ABH 4 A-BUS distribution hub.
