Lexicon RV Receiver manual line OSD display does not appear on the video monitor

RV-5 Troubleshooting & Maintenance

VIDEO IN is set to NONE, but the monitor has a video error, or is showing a blue screen.

When the VIDEO IN parameter is set to NONE, the RV-5 outputs a blue screen at 480i resolution. This blue screen cannot be disabled. If the monitor does not support 480i resolution, the monitor may display an error message.

Note: This condition can also exist when the VIDEO IN parameter has been setup, but there is no active incoming signal.

The 2-line OSD display does not appear on the video monitor.

•Verify that the 2-line OSD parameter under the Setup -> Display Setup -> On-Screen Display menu is not set to OFF.

•Verify the video input source. The 2-line OSD is supported only at 480i and 576i resolutions when the incoming video source is digital.

While using HDMI connections, the video monitor is behaving oddly.

Connecting together all the components of your home theater system with HDMI depends upon every piece of equipment functioning in synchronization. If the timing of any one piece is out of sync, then odd results can occur. For example, an out-of-sync source might cause incorrect colors to appear on the screen, or to shift all of the video to the left or towards the top of the screen. If the video monitor sync is off, it might load the color spacing incorrectly so that the screen appears to be all one color, instead of displaying normal color. In short, an out-of-sync signal can cause a number of very odd results.

To correct the problem, the system needs to resync, which should clear the error. Some out-of-sync issues are easier to clear than others. Typically, power cycling the RV-5 will clear it, but some sync

issues don’t need a power cycle to re-sync correctly. We suggest that you try the following:

1.Enter the OSD menu and then exit out again. This will resync the video.

2.Put the RV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take the RV-5 out of Standby mode.

3.Power cycle the RV-5 by turning off the rear panel power switch, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn the rear panel power switch to the ON position.

4.With the RV-5’s rear panel power switch set to OFF, power-cycle all other devices that are connected to the RV-5, such as DVD & CD players, projectors, and monitors. When finished, restore power to the RV-5 by setting the rear panel power switch to the ON position and then taking the RV-5 out of Standby mode.

The RV-5 is connected via USB to the PC but the computer is playing with the sound card, not the RV-5.

This condition may exist if the media player was already active when the USB cable was connected between the computer and the RV-5 Receiver. With the media player actively playing, it may not “see” the USB connection. Close the media player, check the cable connections, and then launch the media player again. Now it should see the USB connection and switch control to the RV-5.
