RV-5 Basic Operation

TUNER, PC, & DOCK OVERVIEW

The Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs are the only “hard-wired” inputs in the RV-5 Receiver. Unlike the other inputs, these three have very specific audio-only functionality.

The Tuner input is for use with the internal AM/FM radio tuner. The PC input is tied to the USB input on the rear panel and is for use with media player software on a connected PC computer. The Dock input is for use with the optional D-1 Dock accessory and is tied to the DOCK input on the rear panel. This input is only for use with iPod players.

While all three of these inputs have devoted Remote Control menu controls, the front panel Tuner controls are multi-functional buttons that also operate the iPod functions when an iPod is plugged into the Dock input.

For more information about the Tuner, PC, and Dock operation, refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls.

REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

The RV-5 Receiver remote control provides full operation of the RV-5 including commands, such as menu navigation, that are not available from the front panel. It is also designed to provide control for the entire home theater system. This section provides a brief overview of the remote control functions used to control the RV-5 Receiver. For detailed universal remote control operation, programming instructions, and manufacturing codes, refer to Appendix C.

OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following factors can improve or impede remote control operation.

Note the following before operating the RV-5 remote control:

•The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel IR receiver (unless using the optional RF-1 Receiver). Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the IR receiver. The remote control may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the RV-5 IR receiver.

•For optimal performance, position the remote control within a 30-degree angle no more than 40 to 60 feet (12.2m to 18.3m) from the RV-5. Placing the RV-5 inside a smoked glass cabinet will reduce the remote control range.

•Remote controls for different components can interfere with one another. Avoid using remote controls for different components at the same time.

•Remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.

•To control the RV-5, the touch screen of the remote control must be in the “LEX”, “ZONE 2”, or “TUNER” menu layers. The Volume +/- and Mute controls, however, are always active, regardless of the active menu layer. The remote control ships from the factory set to the “MAIN” menu layer.
