RV-5 Setup

5.1-CHANNEL & 7.1-CHANNEL DIRECT INPUTS

There are four listening modes available for use with surround sources such as DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD, or Blue-ray players. These listening modes are for use when the RV-5 8-channel direct inputs are in use. We recommend you use these listening modes under the following conditions:

•5.1-CH BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the Rear L/R inputs are NOT in use and the input source device has its own internal bass management system. The incoming audio stream passes from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog-to-digital conversion. This mode also mutes the unusued input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance.

•5-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the input source device does NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same bass management options for the direct input as used for all other inputs. If all eight channel direct inputs are in use, then audio from the REAR L/R inputs will be redirected to the side speakers.

•7.1-CH BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the 8-channel direct inputs are in use and the input source device has its own internal bass management system. The incoming audio stream passes from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog-to-digital conversion.

•7-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the 8-channel direct inputs are in use and the input source device does NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same bass management options for the direct input as used for all other inputs.

DTS & DOLBY STATUS DISPLAYS

The upper right-hand corner of the front panel 2-line display may indicate status information regarding the incoming source. If a Dolby or DTS source is input and the RV-5 is configured to a surround system, the following status indicators may be displayed to indicate the state of the incoming source:

•ES-ON: Indicates when an encoded DTS signal, discrete or matrix, is input to the surround back channels. “ON” indicates that the condition exists, or is active; “OF” indicates that the condition does not exist, or is off.

•DS-ON: Indicates when the input signal is encoded with Dolby Surround under the Dolby 2.0 standard. “ON” indicates that the condition exists, or is active; “OF” indicates that the condition does not exist, or is off.

•EX-ON: Indicates when Dolby Surround EX is input with the digital stream, if a surround channel (3/2 or 2/2) exists. “ON” indicates that the condition exists, or is active; “OF” indicates that the condition does not exist, or is off.
