Basic Operation Lexicon

UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES

The RV-8 features three zones of operation: the Main Zone, Zone 2 and Zone 3. The Main Zone controls audio and video signals in the primary listening space. Zone 2 controls digital and analog audio and composite or S-Video signals for a second zone or recording device. Zone 3 is designed to control analog audio and composite or S-video signals in an additional listening space. The headphone output follows the source selected in the Main Zone. LOGIC7 Headphone processing is available on this output.

The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:

1.The same Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input source can be simul- taneously selected for the Main Zone and Zone 2. However, different Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input sources cannot be present in the Main Zone and Zone 2.

2.Zone 2 can provide a 2-channel downmix of Main Zone multi- channel audio when all of the following conditions are met:

•The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2.

•A Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES) or 5.1a input source must be present in the Main Zone.

•The INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN parameter must be set to DMIX. See “ZONE2 in Parameter Settings” on page 3-22for more information.

3.The Zone 2 and Zone 3 audio output connectors will receive Front L/R when a 5.1a source is present in the Main Zone and the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to ANLG.

4.When 5.1a BYPASS or 2-CH BYPASS is selected, a downmix to Zone 2 is not available.

TWO-LINE STATUS

The two-line status opens in the on-screen and front-panel displays whenever the RV-8 detects a change in input source or listening mode. The Main Zone two-line status appears when the RV-8 detects a Main Zone change, and the Zone 2 (or Zone 3) two-line status appears when a Zone 2 (or Zone 3) status change is detected.

The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu STATUS parameter is used to control the length of time the two-line status appears in the on- screen display. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu POSITION parameter is used to control the vertical alignment of the two-line status in the display device screen.

Note:

When the display device is connected to a component video output connector and the MAIN ADV menu COMPONENT OSD parameter is set to OFF, the on-screen display does not appear on the associated display.
