Lexicon RV Receiver manual REAR/Z2 L/R, SUB/LFE LPF LOW-PASS Filter, Subwoofers, SUB Mode

RV-5 Setup

REAR/Z2 L/R FULL, 40 to 120Hz, NONE

Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled REAR/Z2 L/R. Available selections include NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments.

•Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the Rear/Zone2 L/R speakers. Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low-frequency rating of the Rear/Zone2 L/R speakers.

•When the speaker setup does not include rear speakers, select NONE to redirect rear channel signals to the Side L/R output connectors. If the Side L/R parameter is also set to NONE, the RV-5 will redirect surround channel signals to the Front L/R output connectors.

Note: When the Rear/Z2 L/R parameter is set to NONE, Dolby Digital PLIIx modes and DTS(-ES) decoding are not available.

SUB/LFE LPF (LOW-PASS FILTER) 40 to 120 Hz

Identifies the cross-over frequency setting below which sounds that may be available from an LFE track are sent to the subwoofer. Available selections are 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments.

SUBWOOFERS 0, 1, 2

Selects the number of subwoofers in the system. Available selections are 0, 1, or 2. The 0 selection is only available if the Front Left & Right speakers are set to FULL.

SUB HPF (HIGH-PASS FILTER) 15, 20, 30, 38 Hz

Identifies the cross-over frequency setting above which sounds are sent to the subwoofer. As a general rule of thumb, the larger the subwoofer driver, the lower the frequency should be of the Sub HPF parameter. The available selections are 15, 20, 30, and 38 Hz.

SUB MODE NORMAL, LFE+FL/FR, LFE ONLY

Selects options that are available to control bass redirection. Available settings are NORMAL, LFE+FL/FR and LFE ONLY.

NORMAL is the default setting when Front L/R cross-overs are set to any value other than FULL, and it is not user adjustable. In this mode, all frequencies below the cross-over point of any main speakers (Front, Center, Side, or Rear) are sent to the subwoofer. In addition, if the incoming audio stream contains an LFE (.1) channel, all frequencies in that channel which are below the SUB/LFE LPF cross- over point are also sent to the subwoofer(s).

When the Front L/R cross-over is set to FULL, the user has the choice of LFE+FL/FR or LFE ONLY.

The default setting, LFE+FL/FR, steers all Front L/R sounds below a fixed cross-over point of 80Hz to BOTH the subwoofer(s) and the Front L/R speakers. In addition, it redirects all frequencies below the cross-over points of the Center, Side, and Rear speakers to the subwoofer(s). Finally, if the incoming audio stream contains an LFE (.1) channel, all frequencies in that channel which are below the SUB/LFE LPF cross-over point are also sent to the subwoofer(s).

The LFE ONLY setting does not send any sound to the subwoofer(s) other than the LFE (.1) channel, if available.

SPEAKER DISTANCES MENU

SETUP SPEAKER/EQ SETUP MANUAL SPEAKER DISTANCES

Selecting the MANUAL SETUP menu SPEAKER DISTANCES option opens the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu, which allows the user to manually set the distances for each speaker. The adjustable range is 0.0 ft (0.0 m) to 30.0 ft (9.00 m) at 0.2 ft (0.06 m) increments.
