Lexicon RV Receiver manual Selecting a Listening Mode, DTS + Dolby Listening Modes

RV-5 Setup

LISTENING MODES

The RV-5 has a large selection of listening modes to choose from. The list of available listening modes is broken into two parts - the Mode Family and the Mode. The available listening modes vary depending upon the Mode Family selections, the input setup, and the incoming audio signal.

The RV-5 features the ability to turn off selected listening mode families so that those options do not appear in the list of available listening modes. See the following section, “Surround Configuration”, for more information. The RV-5 also features the ability to modify elements of the Dolby listening modes, PLIIx and PLII, to better suit your listening preference. See the “Dolby Configuration” section found later in this chapter for more information.

SELECTING A LISTENING MODE

The RV-5 process of signal identification and listening mode selection is shown below:

The Input Setup menu allows the user to select the initial listening mode and mode family that will be applied to any incoming data stream on that specific input. However, setting the input Mode Family and Mode parameters does not prevent other listening modes from being available through the Mode buttons.

The Front Panel Mode and buttons allow the user to quickly scan through the available listening modes in the selected family for a given input or incoming data stream. The Remote Control Channel

and buttons perform the same function.

To select a different Mode Family, the remote control touch screen must be set to the first page of the LEX menu. Then selecting the DOLBY, DTS, DSP, or STER from the touch screen switches the Mode button selections to any listening modes available for each of those families, respectively.

DTS + DOLBY LISTENING MODES

When a DTS soundtrack is playing, the Mode Family menu for DTS contains two options. The DTS selection provides the currently available DTS listening modes. The Dolby selection contains two additional listening modes: DTS + PLIIx Film and DTS + PLIIx Music.

Note: These DTS + Dolby listening modes are ONLY available when the incoming data stream is DTS.
