Lexicon RV Receiver manual Playing PC Media, Using the RV-5 remote control

RV-5 Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls

USB jack on a computer or hub that has not been previously connected to the RV-5, you will see a series of pop-up messages from Windows to indicate that the computer is configuring itself for the new device. Since the RV-5 provides a number of different functions, you may see the “Found New Hardware” message up to four times, one each for “A/V Receiver,” “Compatible Device,” “Audio Receiver”, and “Human Interface Device.”

CAUTION!

Do NOT power cycle the computer while connected to the RV-5 with the PC input selected. The computer MUST be on and connected to the RV-5 rear panel USB jack BEFORE selecting the PC input on the RV-5. Selecting the PC input first may cause a burst of loud noise that may be damaging to the speakers or the listener’s hearing. Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for damage caused in this manner.

PLAYING PC MEDIA

Before selecting the PC input on the RV-5, make certain that the media player has been opened on the computer and is the “top” or active screen. The remote control will not operate the media player if it is minimized or “behind” other programs.

You are now ready to begin playing music. The RV-5 remote control or the computer media player program can be used to control the play, pause, skip forward, and skip back features of the media player.

Using the RV-5 remote control:

•Page 4 of the “Lex” touch screen menu provides media player controls for use with the PC input.

•The PC option mimics the Pause/Play control. If the playlist is not active, pressing this option starts the playlist. If the playlist is already playing, then pressing this option pauses it.

•The PC- option mimics the Skip Back control. Pressing this option causes the media player to skip back a track in the playlist.

•The PC+ option mimics the Skip Forward control. Pressing this option causes the media player to skip forward a track in the playlist.

Once playback is started, the audio from a USB source is treated the same as any other two-channel audio source, and you may apply any of the appropriate surround processing modes.

Note: Whenever the USB jack is connected to the computer, the RV-5 will be selected as the sound card for the computer, even while the RV-5 is in Standby.
