TUNER, PC, AND DOCK OVERVIEW

Unlike the other nine inputs of the RV-5 Receiver, the Tuner, PC, and Dock inputs are NOT interchangeable. These three inputs have specific audio-only functionality that is exclusive to these individual inputs. The TUNER input is for use with the internal AM/FM radio tuner and cannot be used in conjunction with any of the rear panel audio inputs. The Tuner controls and features are discussed in the following sections of this chapter.

The PC input is tied to the USB jack on the rear panel and is only for use with media software on a computer. The PC controls and features are discussed in later sections of this chapter. The Dock input is tied to the DOCK connector on the rear panel and is only for use with iPod players that are connected to the DOCK input via the optional D-1 Dock accessory. The Dock controls and features are discussed in later sections of this chapter.

While all three of these inputs have devoted touch screen menu controls using the remote control, the front panel controls under the TUNER heading are multi-functional buttons that operate the AM/FM radio tuner and the iPod functions when an iPod is plugged into the rear panel Dock input via the D-1 Dock optional accessory.

Note: The audio input for the Tuner, PC, and Dock inputs are not user-adjustable. However the video input for these three inputs can be set to any of the available rear panel video inputs and are as fully customizable as any of the other nine inputs.

In addition to these Main Zone differences, the Tuner, PC, and DOCK inputs also behave differently in Zone 2 operation. Unlike the other inputs, the Tuner, PC, and DOCK inputs operate in Zone 2 independently of both each other and the other nine inputs, regardless of what is playing in the Main Zone. Any combination of these three inputs may be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2, including the selection of one input playing simultaneously in both

Zones. In addition, if one of these inputs is playing in the Main Zone, you can freely choose any other Analog input in Zone 2.

AM/FM RADIO TUNER

The AM/FM radio tuner can be operated from the front panel or the remote control. Thirty presets can store AM or FM frequencies, identified by the preset number, station frequency and band. Two antennas are supplied with the RV-5; one for AM and one for FM stereo . At a minimum, use of the supplied antennas is recommended to ensure consistent tuner performance.

ZONE 2 TUNER

There is only one tuner in the RV-5 Receiver, but it can be accessed and output to either the Main Zone or the Zone 2 location. As a result, the Tuner display doesn’t indicate if the Main Zone or Zone 2 input is being altered, because only one tuner is being adjusted. If a change is made to the Tuner in Zone 2, the same change is reflected in the Main Zone.

TUNER ACTIVATION AND DISPLAY

To activate the Tuner from the front panel, press the TUNER input button under the MAIN heading.

To activate and control the Tuner using the remote control:

•Touch the TUNER selection on the MAIN touch screen of the remote control and then press the +10 button marked “TUNER”, or

•From the “LEX” or “TUNER” layers of the touch screen, just press the +10 button marked “TUNER”.

To control the Tuner, the TUNER input must be selected in either the Main Zone or Zone 2.
