INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY  
INSTALLATION  
The RV-5 requires special care during installation to ensure optimal  
performance. Pay particular attention to the instructions below and  
to other precautions that appear throughout this user guide.  
The remote control requires four AAA batteries. The batteries  
should be replaced as needed. Alkaline batteries, which last longer  
without leaking, are recommended. When battery power is low, the  
remote control enters a low-voltage condition, preventing it from  
operating the RV-5. When this occurs, replace the batteries. Normal  
operation will resume when new batteries are installed.  
DO install the RV-5 on a solid, flat, level surface such as a table or  
shelf.  
DO select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.  
Note: The Remote Control will not lose any custom settings if the batteries  
run out. All custom settings are stored in non-volatile FLASH memory.  
DO NOT expose the RV-5 to high temperatures, humidity, steam,  
smoke, dampness or excessive dust. Avoid installing the RV-5 near  
radiators or stacking the RV-5 over other heat-producing  
equipment such as a power amplifier.  
To replace the remote control batteries:  
1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote  
control. Press the tab and lift the cover away from the remote  
control.  
DO NOT place the RV-5 on a thick rug or carpet, or cover the RV-5  
with a cloth, as this might prevent proper cooling.  
2. Remove old batteries, if applicable.  
DO NOT place the RV-5 on a windowsill or any location exposed to  
direct sunlight.  
3. Observing the proper polarity, insert four AAA batteries.  
4. Align the cover over the battery compartment and gently press  
down until it snaps back into place.  
DO NOT obstruct the front panel IR receiver window. The remote  
control must be in line of sight with the IR receiver for proper  
operation (unless using the optional RF-1 Receiver).  
5. Properly dispose of the old batteries.  
DO NOT install the RV-5 on a surface that is unstable or unable to  
support all four feet.  
CAUTION!  
Before moving the RV-5, power the unit off using the rear  
panel power switch and unplug the power cord from the  
wall outlet.

19 DOCK CONNECTOR  
AMPLIFIER OVERVIEW  
Provides an interface for an iPod, which can then be accessed  
through the RV-5. To use this feature, the D-1 Dock option must be  
installed to the rear panel DOCK connector. With a compatible  
iPod connected to the RV-5, selecting the DOCK input allows you to  
play audio files from the iPod. You can view and navigate through  
the iPod menus using the RV-5 remote control or front panel  
controls.  
The RV-5 features a high-current 7-channel power amplifier with  
85W per channel. Gold-plated binding posts are provided for  
speaker connections.  
MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH THE AMPLIFIER  
OUTPUT  
For more information on the Dock option and how to use your RV-5  
with an iPod, refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls.  
Use bare speaker wire with the amplifier output connectors. To  
install, loosen the connector, insert the wire into the bottom of the  
receptacle, then tighten the connector.  
20 PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUTS  
Use up to 10-gauge speaker cable to ensure low-impedance  
connections between the amplifier and the speakers. Observe  
correct speaker polarity.  
Provide output for external power amplifiers for applications that  
require them.  
CAUTION!  
21 TUNER ANTENNA CONNECTORS  
Do not connect the outputs of one channel to the outputs  
of other channels or to other amplifiers. Do not  
over-tighten speaker connectors as they can break and  
will then require that the RV-5 be serviced.  
Provide two antenna connections for the AM/FM radio tuner. The  
RV-5 accessories include two antennas, one for AM stations and one  
for FM stations.  
For information on how to use the AM/FM radio tuner, refer to  
Section 5: Tuner, Dock, & PC Controls.  
UTILIZING SPARE CHANNELS  
While the amplifier can support a 7.1-channel system, it is equally  
suitable for use with 5.1-channel systems. Since 5.1-channel  
systems do not use all of the speaker outputs, the “spare” amplifier  
outputs can be used for Zone 2 operation.  
For example, if the RV-5 Receiver is used to run a 5.1-channel  
system in the main listening area, then the two rear speaker outputs  
can be used as Zone 2 left and right speakers in a second listening  
location, without the cost of an additional power amplifier.

RV-5  
Basic Operation  
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW  
TUNER, PC, & DOCK OVERVIEW  
The Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs are the only “hard-wired” inputs in  
the RV-5 Receiver. Unlike the other inputs, these three have very  
specific audio-only functionality.  
The RV-5 Receiver remote control provides full operation of the  
RV-5 including commands, such as menu navigation, that are not  
available from the front panel. It is also designed to provide control  
for the entire home theater system. This section provides a brief  
overview of the remote control functions used to control the RV-5  
Receiver. For detailed universal remote control operation,  
programming instructions, and manufacturing codes, refer to  
Appendix C.  
The Tuner input is for use with the internal AM/FM radio tuner. The  
PC input is tied to the USB input on the rear panel and is for use  
with media player software on a connected PC computer. The Dock  
input is for use with the optional D-1 Dock accessory and is tied to  
the DOCK input on the rear panel. This input is only for use with  
iPod players.  
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS  
While all three of these inputs have devoted Remote Control menu  
controls, the front panel Tuner controls are multi-functional buttons  
that also operate the iPod functions when an iPod is plugged into  
the Dock input.  
The following factors can improve or impede remote control  
operation.  
Note the following before operating the RV-5 remote control:  
For more information about the Tuner, PC, and Dock operation,  
refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls.  
The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel  
IR receiver (unless using the optional RF-1 Receiver). Eliminate  
obstructions between the remote control and the IR receiver.  
The remote control may become unreliable if strong sunlight or  
fluorescent light shines on the RV-5 IR receiver.  
For optimal performance, position the remote control within a  
30-degree angle no more than 40 to 60 feet (12.2m to 18.3m)  
from the RV-5. Placing the RV-5 inside a smoked glass cabinet  
will reduce the remote control range.  
Remote controls for different components can interfere with  
one another. Avoid using remote controls for different  
components at the same time.  
Remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.  
To control the RV-5, the touch screen of the remote control  
must be in the “LEX”, “ZONE 2”, or “TUNER” menu layers.  
The Volume +/- and Mute controls, however, are always active,

In order to perform this test, the following initial setup is required:  
REAR AMP  
REAR AMP, ZONE 2  
SPEAKER/EQ SETUP  
REAR AMP  
SETUP  
Selects the REAR AMP parameter, which identifies how the rear  
amplifier is utilized. The amplifier can drive the rear speakers in the  
Main Zone or the Zone 2 speakers.  
All of the speakers are connected to the RV-5 and positioned in  
the listening space.  
The cross-over points for each speaker are set through the  
MANUAL setup menu. See the following section, “Manual  
Speaker Setup”, for information on how to manually set the  
cross-over points.  
To maintain 7.1-channel surround sound in the Main Zone while  
using the Zone 2 outputs, the Rear/Zone2 speaker connectors or the  
Rear Preamp outputs should be used for the Main Zone rear channels  
while the Zone 2 OUT RCA connectors are used with a second  
amplifier for the Zone 2 audio.  
A monitor is connected to the RV-5 for viewing the OSD during  
the procedure.  
The microphone, included with the RV-5, must be connected to  
the rear panel Microphone input connector and positioned in  
the primary listening position.  
MANUAL  
SPEAKER/EQ SETUP  
MANUAL  
SETUP  
For best results, install the microphone onto the accompanying rod by  
threading the two parts together and hold or place it in the primary  
listening position. Use a microphone stand or tripod if necessary.  
Opens the MANUAL speaker setup menu, which allows the manual  
selection of the speaker distances, cross-over points, and output  
levels. See the next section, “Manual Speaker Set-Up”, for more  
details.  
The Semi Autocal procedure is performed in the same manner as the  
Full Autocal procedure. Refer to the “Performing the Full Autocal  
Procedure” for more details.  
SEMI AUTOCAL  
SPEAKER/EQ SETUP  
SEMII AUTOCAL  
SETUP  
CAUTION!  
Selects the SEMI AUTOCAL procedure, which automatically sets the  
speaker distances and output levels, as well as performing system  
equalization adjustments. The cross-over points for each speaker  
must be manually set before this procedure can be run. See the next  
section, “Manual Speaker Set-Up”, for more information on how to  
set the cross-over points.  
DO NOT place the microphone too close to the speakers  
during the autocal procedure. If the microphone is within  
one foot of the speaker, the test tones that are output  
during the autocal procedure could cause a feedback loop  
which may damage the speaker. Harman Specialty Group  
assumes no responsibility for speaker damage.

FULL AUTOCAL  
SETUP  
DO NOT place the microphone too close to the speakers  
during the autocal procedure. If the microphone is within  
one foot of the speaker, the test tones that are output  
during the autocal procedure could cause a feedback loop  
which may damage the speaker. Harman Specialty Group  
assumes no responsibility for speaker damage.  
Selects the FULL AUTOCAL procedure, which automatically sets the  
speaker distances, cross-over points, and output levels, as well as  
performing system equalization adjustments.  
Note: The Full or Semi Autocal settings that are saved to the Preset  
locations include the system equalization adjustment values. However,  
even if the Auto EQ setting is active, the autocal settings for the system EQ  
do NOT apply to certain high bit-rate incoming data streams, such as 176  
kHz and 192 kHz PCM.  
The Full Autocal procedure is comprised of three parts, the Far Field  
Test, the Near Field Test, and the Subwoofer Test. Each part provides  
directions on the OSD at the start of the test, for volume level and  
microphone positioning, and each test sends test tones to the  
speakers.  
Note: Before activating the calibration, ensure that the RV-5 is NOT  
muted. If Mute is active, then the test tone calibrations will not be  
accurate.  
Performing the AUTOCAL Procedure:  
Before beginning the AUTOCAL procedure, set the RV-5 to an input  
that does not have a currently active source. There should NOT be  
an active audio track playing when the AUTOCAL procedure  
is started.  
For the Far Field test, the test tones sent to each speaker follow a  
specific order. The order of testing is Front Left, Front Right, Center,  
Side Left, Side Right, Rear Left, and Rear Right.  
In order to perform this test, the following initial setup is required:  
Note: The test tones may be loud. Be prepared before starting the Full or  
Semi Autocal procedures.  
All of the speakers are connected to the RV-5 and positioned in  
the listening space.  
The Far Field test sets the speaker distances, cross-over points, and  
output levels. The microphone is stationed in the center of the  
preferred listening area and a test tone is sent to each speaker.  
A monitor is connected to the RV-5 for viewing the OSD during  
the procedure.  
The microphone, included with the RV-5, must be connected to  
the rear panel Microphone input connector and positioned in  
the primary listening position.  
Note: If the Far Field test is skipped, the Near Field test must also be  
skipped.  
Note: For best results, install the microphone onto the accompanying  
rod by threading the two parts together and hold or place it in the  
primary listening position. Use a microphone stand or tripod if  
necessary.  
The Near Field test adjusts the RV-5, performing system equalization  
to compensate for speaker performance and placement. The  
procedure seeks to give the system a consistent tonal balance  
between the front left, front right, center, side left, side right, rear left,  
and rear right speakers, if applicable. The test calibrates each speaker  
separately, and the user individually selects each speaker to calibrate.  
3-7  
   
Setup  
Lexicon  
The microphone should be held within two feet of the speaker baffle  
as a test tone is sent to the speaker.  
The Subwoofer test is done in two parts. The user is instructed to  
hold the microphone to the left of the primary listening position and  
then to the right of the primary listening position. Two test tones are  
sent out to all connected subwoofers during each of the two test  
phases. Two tones are sent to ensure that subwoofers with auto  
power settings are active during the procedure.  
Note: If there are no subwoofers in the system, then this test will not pass  
and must be skipped.  
For optimum results, all noise generators in the room should be  
removed before performing the full or semi autocal procedure.  
However, air conditioners and similar steady-state background noise  
should have minimum impact on the test and can be left on.  
When the procedure is complete, the user will be prompted to save  
the settings. These settings can be saved in one of three Preset  
locations. See Section 4: Audio Controls & Video Status for more  
information on the Preset locations.  
Note: When calibration is complete, the volume level is set to a relatively  
high level. Before playing an audio track, be sure to turn the volume  
down to avoid potentially offensive or damaging volume levels.

Select the subwoofer cross-over point equal to the lowest cross-  
over point of any of the other speakers.  
When the speaker setup does not include a center speaker, select  
NONE because some listening modes are not intended to be used  
without a center channel.  
Manual Subwoofer Speaker Setup Considerations:  
All low frequencies below the speaker’s cross-over point are  
redirected from the speaker to the subwoofer(s). If the cross-over  
point is FULL, low-frequency signals, excluding LFE information, are  
not redirected to the subwoofer.

settings are NORMAL, LFE+FL/FR and LFE ONLY.  
NORMAL is the default setting when Front L/R cross-overs are set to  
any value other than FULL, and it is not user adjustable. In this mode,  
all frequencies below the cross-over point of any main speakers  
(Front, Center, Side, or Rear) are sent to the subwoofer. In addition, if  
the incoming audio stream contains an LFE (.1) channel, all  
frequencies in that channel which are below the SUB/LFE LPF cross-  
over point are also sent to the subwoofer(s).  
Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the Rear/Zone2 L/R  
speakers. Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the  
-3dB low-frequency rating of the Rear/Zone2 L/R speakers.  
When the speaker setup does not include rear speakers, select  
NONE to redirect rear channel signals to the Side L/R output  
connectors. If the Side L/R parameter is also set to NONE, the  
RV-5 will redirect surround channel signals to the Front L/R  
output connectors.  
When the Front L/R cross-over is set to FULL, the user has the choice  
of LFE+FL/FR or LFE ONLY.  
Note: When the Rear/Z2 L/R parameter is set to NONE, Dolby Digital  
PLIIx modes and DTS(-ES) decoding are not available.  
The default setting, LFE+FL/FR, steers all Front L/R sounds below a  
fixed cross-over point of 80Hz to BOTH the subwoofer(s) and the  
Front L/R speakers. In addition, it redirects all frequencies below the  
cross-over points of the Center, Side, and Rear speakers to the  
subwoofer(s). Finally, if the incoming audio stream contains an LFE  
(.1) channel, all frequencies in that channel which are below the  
SUB/LFE LPF cross-over point are also sent to the subwoofer(s).

then only that input’s output levels are adjusted.  
Note: When the speaker distance for the Front Left speaker is adjusted  
above 20.0 feet from the shortest speaker distance, all speaker distances  
will move in conjunction from the 20.2-feet parameter point. When the  
Front Left speaker is adjusted to 20.2 feet, all other speaker distances that  
are set to 0 feet will now move to 0.2 feet. If the Front Left speaker  
distance is increased to 22 feet, all other speaker distances will move to 2  
feet (unless they are set to a higher value). If the Front Left speaker  
distance is then decreased, all other speaker distances will not change.  
Note: To set a specific input’s output levels, the input front panel button  
must be selected before the Input selection in the Output Levels menu is  
available for that specific input.  
The ALL selection functions as a virtual input – it holds values that can  
be assigned to all inputs. Each input can override the ALL value with  
its own custom settings. To assign the ALL input, it must be selected  
individually for each front panel input selection.

Provides a noise signal to each speaker through either the AUTO or  
MANUAL setting. AUTO sends a rotating noise signal to each  
speaker, in the order listed in the menu. If set to AUTO, the test tone  
moves in a clockwise order around the speakers, starting from the  
front left. MANUAL sends the pink noise signal only to the speaker  
selected by the user. The OFF selection turns off the noise signal. Any  
active input source is muted while the Test Tone parameter is active  
and until the Test Tone parameter is set to OFF.  
The output levels for each speaker - Front Left, Center, Front Right,  
Side Right, Rear Right, Rear Left, Side Left, Subwoofer1, and  
Subwoofer2 - can be set individually.  
The available test tones are dependent upon the current listening  
mode. For example, if a 5.1 channel listening mode is active, then  
the rear speakers are not accessible to the Test Tone parameter.  
Note: The speaker output level settings may affect the maximum volume  
level of the RV-5 Receiver. The maximum volume level is +10 dB minus the  
maximum output level setting of any speaker. Thus, if your Front L/R  
output levels are set to +3.0 dB, then the maxium allowable volume level  
is +10 dB minus 3 dB, or +7.0 dB.  
Note: Before activating the test tones, ensure that the RV-5 is NOT muted.  
If Mute is active, then the test tone calibrations will not be accurate.

VIDEO OUT  
VIDEO OUT  
SETUP  
INPUT SETUP  
VIDEO OUT is a multi-purpose parameter; the function of the  
parameter depends upon the input source and the setting of the  
V-PROCESS parameter.  
A standard-definition (480i or 576i) analog signal  
(composite, S-video, or component) is converted so  
that it is available as an HDMI signal at its input  
resolution, as well as at the standard S-video,  
composite, or component analog video outputs.  
When the V-PROCESS parameter is set to BYPASS or CONV ONLY, the  
VIDEO OUT parameter is a non-adjustable status display of the video  
resolution of the output signal, as determined by the input.  
An analog component signal is digitized and output at  
its input resolution through the HDMI outputs and as  
an analog component signal, but not through the  
analog composite or S-video monitor outputs.  
When the Faroudja video processing is selected for the V-PROCESS  
parameter and the output is set to HDMI or component format,  
VIDEO OUT becomes an active user-selectable parameter which  
identifies the video output resolution. Available selections are AUTO,  
1080i, 720p, and 480p.  
HDMI signals are output through both the HDMI and  
analog component outputs. Program material that  
carries HDCP encoding is only available through the  
HDMI output.  
Bypass – Does not apply any video enhancement or processing to  
the incoming video signal, but outputs the signal in one of the  
following ways, depending on the input source.  
For HDMI inputs, the AUTO option automatically selects the highest  
output resolution supported by the HDMI-equipped monitor. For  
component inputs with copy protection, the component output is  
restricted to the resolution format of the incoming component  
signal.  
Analog signals (composite, S-video, or component) are  
output only in the resolution and format that matches  
the input.  
Note: If VIDEO OUT is set to AUTO when the component input is not copy  
protected, the component output is always set to 1080i format. If the  
video monitor does not support 1080i format, the signal will not display  
correctly.  
HDMI input signals are output through the HDMI and  
analog component outputs. Program material that  
carries HDCP encoding is only available through the  
HDMI output.  
Note: If you are not getting the expected resolution options for your video  
monitor, it may be caused by an incompability between the input setup  
selections and the incoming signal. Refer to the Video Resolutions Table in  
Section 6: Troubleshooting and Maintenance for more detailed  
information.

allows the RV-5 software to “remember” the last used listening mode  
for any given input source. Once selected, that mode will always be  
active on the corresponding input until another listening mode is  
selected. This parameter affects all inputs.  
Selects the ADVANCED VIDEO menu, which provides fine-tuning  
adjustments to the video output. For more information, refer to the  
next section, “Advanced Video”.  
Note: Most of the Advanced Video parameters are only available when the  
V-Process parameter is set to FAROUDJA.  
TRIGGER 2  
OFF, ON  
Note: If the LOGIC 7 DEFAULT parameter in the SURROUND CONFIG  
menu is set to ON, the USE LAST selection is defeated and the listening  
mode will always switch to a LOGIC 7 mode. For normal functionality  
with the USE LAST selection, make sure that the LOGIC 7 DEFAULT  
parameter is set to OFF.  
TRIGGER 2  
SETUP  
INPUT SETUP  
Selects the TRIGGER 2 parameter, which configures the Trigger  
OUT 2 connector on the rear panel. This trigger output can be  
configured independently for each input so that a trigger voltage  
signal is sent to the Trigger Out 2 connector when a specific input is  
selected. If the Trigger 2 parameter is set to ON, it will output its  
voltage when the associated input is activated in the Main Zone. It  
is not activated by Zone 2 input switching. The default for the  
Trigger 2 parameter is OFF.  
A/D SAMPLE RATE  
48 KHZ, 96 KHZ  
A/D SAMPLE RATE  
SETUP  
INPUT SETUP  
The RV-5 converts the incoming analog audio signals to digital audio  
for all audio processing. The A/D SAMPLE RATE parameter allows you  
to select the sample rate of the A/D converters. Some surround  
processing modes, such as those in the DSP Mode Family, are only  
available at the 48 kHz sampling rate. This setting is only available for  
incoming analog audio streams and does not apply to any of the  
ANALOG BYPASS modes.  
ZONE-2 OUT  
SETUP  
ANALOG, DOWN MIX  
ZONE-2 OUT  
INPUT SETUP  
Identifies the type of audio that is sent to the Zone 2 outputs. The  
ANALOG setting is a straight bypass of the Main Zone stereo analog  
audio to the Zone 2 outputs. DOWN MIX provides a stereo DOWN  
MIX of the incoming audio to the Zone 2 outputs. DOWN MIX,  
which should be selected for digital or multi-channel analog  
sources, is only available if the Main Zone has an input selected that  
will accept a down mixed source. The ZONE 2 OUT parameter is  
NOT input-specific; a selection made for one input will be reflected  
in ALL inputs.  
A/V SYNC DELAY  
0 TO 180 mS  
A/V SYNC DELAY  
SETUP  
INPUT SETUP  
Delays the audio until it matches the on-screen video. Select a value  
to activate an audio signal delay to compensate for video that is  
delayed relative to the audio. The A/V sync delay range is 0 to 180 ms  
in 1 ms increments. Each input has an independent A/V Sync Delay  
parameter.  
3-18  
         
RV-5  
Setup  
Note: If you have 5.1-channel or 7.1-channel ANALOG AUDIO assigned  
to an Input using the BYPASS listening mode, only the Front Left and Front  
Right channels will be sent to Zone 2 OUT with the ANALOG setting. In  
this condition, DOWN MIX is not available.  
If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input,  
but the Zone 2 ANLG AUDIO IN parameter is set to any of the  
six stereo analog input connectors, then Zone 2 will output the  
independent analog audio for that input.  
The Main Zone and Zone 2 inputs are inter-related. For example,  
there is only one HD input that is accessible in both the Main Zone  
and Zone 2; there are NOT two separate HD inputs. Therefore, to  
set the ZONE 2 OUT in a Main Zone input, the same Zone 2 input  
must also be selected.  
The Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs are special cases that do not quite  
function exactly as noted above. The ZONE-2 OUT parameter is  
preset to ANALOG and cannot be changed to DOWN MIX.  
Since the Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs operate independently of all  
other inputs...  
DOWN MIX is only available if the following conditions exist:  
Zone 2 is ON (or the Zone 2 OFF button is not lit).  
Zone 2 has the same input selected as the Main Zone.  
Any of the three may be selected in Zone 2 regardless of what is  
playing in the Main Zone.  
If the Main Zone audio is ANALOG, it is not set to a BYPASS  
listening mode.  
Any combination of these three inputs can be selected in the  
Main Zone and Zone 2, including selecting any one them for  
both Zones simultaneously.  
If the ZONE-2 OUT parameter is set to ANALOG and an input has  
stereo analog audio assigned to it (ANALOG 1 to ANALOG 6  
connectors), then choosing that input in Zone 2 will allow it to play  
the assigned ANALOG audio, regardless of what is playing in the  
Main Zone.  
If one of these three inputs is playing in the Main Zone, any  
other ANALOG input can be chosen for Zone 2.  
If the ZONE-2 OUT parameter is set to DOWN MIX, selecting an  
input in Zone 2 will have one of the following results:  
If the Zone 2 input is the same as the Main Zone input, then  
Zone 2 will output a DOWN MIX of the Main Zone audio.  
If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input,  
but the Zone 2 DIG AUDIO IN parameter is the same as the  
selected Main Zone input, then Zone 2 will output a DOWN  
MIX of the Main Zone audio.  
If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input,  
but the Zone 2 ANLG AUDIO IN parameter is set to 5.1  
ANALOG or 7.1 ANALOG, then Zone 2 will output a DOWN  
MIX of the Main Zone audio.

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.  
The RV-5 process of signal identification and listening mode selection  
is shown below:  
SELECTING A LISTENING MODE  
The Input Setup menu allows the user to select the initial listening  
mode and mode family that will be applied to any incoming data  
RV-5 identifies  
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.  
Incoming Signal

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.  
RV-5 builds the  
available mode list  
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.

LISTENING MODE DESCRIPTIONS  
The following table provides a brief description of each listening mode.  
Logic 7 Film  
Logic 7 Music  
A proprietary Lexicon technology, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded pro-  
grams or conventional stereo material. Film 7.1 and Music 7.1 are tailored specifically for use with rear speakers, while Film 5.1 and Music 5.1 are spe-  
cifically formatted for use without rear speakers. The Film modes should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix  
encoding to experience increased center channel intelligibility and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans. The Music modes  
enhance the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency  
information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement that circulates  
low frequencies in the 40 Hz to 120 Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that seems broader and wider  
than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.  
Note: Logic 7 Film is designed for use with a center channel. If your speaker system does not have a center channel, then use Logic 7 Music.  
Dolby Digital  
Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated  
low-frequency effects channel. This mode does not use the rear speakers.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Available when the receiver is configured for 7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is an extended version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies  
or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially-encoded soundtracks so that a full 7.1 sound field is available.  
Even if a source does not contain specific EX encoding, the special algorithm may be used to derive a 7.1-channel output.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Film  
Music  
Game  
Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic II decodes full-range, discrete, left, center, right, right surround, and left surround channels from matrix surround-encoded programs  
and conventional stereo sources. The Dolby Pro Logic II Film mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be  
used with musical selections. The Pro Logic II Game mode is designed to enhance the soundtrack of video games for either dedicated consoles or  
computers. The Pro Logic mode re-creates the original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation format.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Film  
Music  
Game  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark matrix surround technology, which creates a discrete 7.1 sound field from  
matrix surround or two-channel stereo sources when your system is configured for surround back speakers. Film, Music, and Game versions are  
available that customize the processing to the type of source in use. These modes may also be used to create 7.1 sound fields from 5.1 digital  
soundtracks.  
Dolby Virtual Speaker  
Reference  
Wide  
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to reproduce the dynamics and surround sound effects of a precisely  
placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only front left and right speakers. In the Reference mode, the apparent width of the sound across the front  
image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers are  
close together. Depending upon the number of speakers available in your system, a variety of different sound field options are available for both the  
Reference and Wide modes.  
DTS 5.1  
When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music, or laser discs encoded  
with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency effects channel.  
DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix  
DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete  
When the speaker configuration is set for 7.1-channel operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection of  
one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES Discrete-encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels  
plus a separate low-frequency effects channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound  
field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.  
3-27  
   
Setup  
Lexicon  
DTS Neo:6 Cinema  
DTS Neo:6 Music  
These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a three-channel, five-channel, or six-channel surround presentation from  
conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of the Neo:6 when a program with any type of Matrix  
surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a non-encoded, two-channel stereo program is being  
played.  
DTS Neo:6  
The DTS Neo:6 mode is designed for use with matrix-encoded digital signals. This mode is available when Digital DTS 96/24, DTS 5.1, and DTS 20-bit  
5.1 CH CD data streams are active. DTS Neo:6 derives six channels when both side and rear speakers are present (rear speakers will be in parallel). It  
derives five channels when only side speakers are present.  
DTS 96/24  
DTS 96/24 is available on specially-encoded (and labeled) optical discs that offer five channels of audio with a 96kHz sampling rate that delivers greatly  
improved audio performance. When a DTS 96/24 disc is in use and the player is connected with a digital link, the mode is selected automatically.  
Hall 1 & Hall 2  
The Hall modes, for both 5-channel and 7-channel systems, create sound fields that resemble a small-(Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.  
5-Channel Stereo  
7-Channel Stereo  
This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such  
as a party, it places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed  
mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels. If the RV-5 has been configured for 6.1-/7.1-channel operation, both of these options  
are available for selection. If the RV-5 has been configured for 5.1-channel operation, only the 5-Channel Stereo option is available.  
2-Channel Stereo  
This mode turns off all surround processing and presents pure left- and right-channel stereo programs. The bass management processing that routes  
low frequencies to the subwoofers is still active.  
2-Channel Stereo  
Bypass  
This mode turns off all surround processing and present pure left- and right-channel stereo programs. The bass management processing that routes  
low frequencies to the subwoofers is still active. This mode does not allow any user modification of the audio, such as Bass or Treble adjustments.  
Note: This mode is only available when the Tone Controls are set to OFF.

5.1-CHANNEL & 7.1-CHANNEL DIRECT INPUTS  
DTS & DOLBY STATUS DISPLAYS  
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:  
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:  
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

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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

SURROUND CONFIGURATION  
Selecting the SETUP menu SURROUND CONFIG option opens the Surround Configuration menu, which is used to customize the list of available  
listening modes that can be applied to incoming signals. Each Mode Family has a subset of available listening modes that can be turned off. If the  
listening mode is set to OFF, then the applicable listening modes in that family are not available for selection from the mode buttons. If the listening  
mode is ON, then the applicable listening modes in that family are available for selection.  
These are not input-specific settings; if a Mode Family option is turned off, it is removed from the list of available listening modes for ALL inputs, and  
regardless of the incoming data stream. Some modes, such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and the Stereo modes in the PCM menus, cannot be excluded  
from the mode selections.

Zone, you can freely choose any other Analog input in Zone 2.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
TUNER ACTIVATION AND DISPLAY  
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.  
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:  
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

Controls how scrolling through the frequencies is managed. The  
button toggles between Automatic (AUTO) and Manual (MAN)  
tuning. The first press displays the current state, “AUTO” or  
“MANUAL”, and the second press changes the setting.  
Once the Tuner is activated, the TUNER input button under the  
Main Zone heading on the front panel is lit with a blue LED; the  
Zone 2 TUNER input button lights with an amber LED. The front  
panel of the RV-5 and the 2-line OSD display TUNER and the  
current listening mode on the left side of the display; and the  
currently selected band frequency, preset location, and volume on  
the right side.  
AUTO automatically seeks out the next available station when a  
TUNE button is pressed; MANUAL only scrolls when the user presses  
a TUNE button.  
If AUTO is selected, then pressing a TUNE button once will start the  
automatic scrolling. Pressing a TUNE button again stops the  
scrolling process. If MAN is selected, when either the Tune + or

Use the Tune + or Tune - controls to select a frequency. Pressing  
either the Tune + or Tune - button enables the user to scroll through  
the frequencies. The FM band scrolls in 0.1 MHz increments; the  
AM band scrolls in 10 kHz increments. The Auto/Man setting affects  
this function.  
AM/FM  
Selects the frequency band that the tuner will play. This button  
toggles between AM and FM.  
PRESET +/-  
Use the Preset + or Preset - controls to select a previously saved  
radio station. Radio stations saved to a preset are displayed to the  
left of the associated preset number. There are 30 Presets available  
for the Tuner.  
ST/MON  
Toggles between FM Stereo and Monaural reception. The first press  
displays the current state and the second press changes the setting.  
To select the preset location of a previously saved radio station,  
simply scroll through the Presets until you reach the desired Preset  
number. The tuner will automatically switch to play the selected  
preset radio station. Holding one of the buttons down scrolls  
through the preset locations until the button is no longer being  
pressed.  
Note: This button also controls FM muting of weak signals. In Stereo mode,  
very weak signals, or FM static when a signal isn’t present, are muted. In  
Monaural mode, no muting is applied, so very weak signals and FM static  
are audible.

access and control your iPod selections. Just one simple connection  
and you’re ready to go!  
Note: The DOCK Input setup displays Digital Audio as NONE, Analog Audio  
as DOCK (or “UNPLUGGED” if there is no iPod connected to the RV-5), and  
the Dig/Anlg Auto parameter is dashed out. These three parameters cannot  
be changed for the DOCK Input.  
When the iPod is initially plugged into the RV-5, the iPod goes to  
the top of its music menu. When the iPod is removed, the iPod  
menu goes to the root menu.  
Note: This functionality is ONLY available if you have purchased the optional  
D-1 iPod Docking Station. Refer to Section 1: Getting Started for ordering  
details.  
If the RV-5 is in Standby mode with the DOCK AUTO POWER  
parameter set to ON and the iPod currently playing a track when it  
is plugged into the Dock, the track will continue to play and the  
2-line front panel display will show the current track information.  
CONNECTING THE DOCK TO THE RV-5  
Before connecting the Dock, turn the RV-5 off using either the main  
power switch or the Standby button.  
With the RV-5 off, press the button on each side of the connector at  
the end of the Dock cable and insert this plug into the DOCK  
connector on the rear panel of the RV-5. The connector is keyed to  
only connect in one way. If you inadvertently try to plug the  
connector in the wrong way, do not force it. Simply invert the  
connector and try again.  
SELECTING THE CORRECT iPOD INSERT  
Each iPod model is a slightly different size, making it necessary to  
use an insert that matches your specific iPod to the Dock. The Dock  
is shipped with the insert for the color screen and photo models  
already installed; if you own one of those models, no further  
changes are necessary.  
If you own a different iPod, first select the insert that matches your  
model. The model identification is printed on the back of each of  
the four extra inserts supplied with the Dock.  
Note: The iPod Shuffle is not supported by the optional D-1 iPod Docking  
Station.

To remove the factory installed  
insert, hold the Dock with one  
hand as you grab the edges of  
the insert in the Dock with  
your other hand, then pull  
straight up. Use the following  
as a guide to determine which  
insert is correct for your iPod model:  
DOCKING THE iPOD  
After placing the appropriate insert in the  
center well of the Dock and connecting  
the Dock to your receiver, dock your iPod  
by placing it into the insert, gently  
pressing it down until the connectors  
mate between the iPod and the Dock.  
Note: If you normally keep your iPod in a  
protective case, or “skin”, you will need to  
remove it before docking your iPod.  
For any iPod with a color screen, including all iPod photo  
models, use the insert with “COLOR/PHOTO” on the back.  
This insert is already installed in the Dock at the factory.  
When the iPod is plugged into the Dock, the iPod navigation  
controls are no longer accessible and the iPod screen will read  
“Connected and ready to be unplugged“.  
For 20GB or 30GB iPod photo models only, remove the insert  
marked “COLOR/PHOTO” and attach the two included foam  
pads to the rear inside wall in the well of the insert before  
replacing it.  
For iPods with a black & white screen and a 10GB, 15GB, or  
20GB hard drive, use the insert with “10GB/15GB” on the  
back.  
DOCK 2-LINE DISPLAY CHARACTERISTICS  
When the DOCK input is selected, the 2-line front panel display  
changes so that the left side of the display reflects the current iPod  
information. Initially, the 2-line display on the RV-5 displays “Menu”  
on the left side of the top line. “Playlists” and the number of  
playlists available are displayed on the left side of the bottom line.  
The ANLG signal type is identified on the top right side and the  
current volume setting of the RV-5 is identified on the bottom right  
side of the display, as shown:  
For iPods with a black & white screen and a 30GB or 40GB  
hard drive, use the insert with “30GB/40GB” on the back.  
Use the insert with “mini” on the back for all iPod mini models.  
Use the insert with “Universal” on the back for iPod models  
that come with a special insert.  
Once you have selected the correct insert, place it over the well in  
the center of the Dock and gently press it down so that it snaps into  
place.

touch screen menu, page 3 of the “LEX” menu layer, devoted to  
controlling the iPod. In addition, the Tuner section of the RV-5 front  
panel is a multi-functional panel that also controls the iPod. The  
remote control menu buttons and the front panel tuner buttons  
provide identical controls.  
Using the Front Panel Tuner Controls:  
PRESET- and PRESET+ mimic the and the buttons on the  
iPod, which Skip Back and Skip Forward. Pressing these buttons  
causes the iPod to skip back or skip forward one track in the  
playlist.  
Note: The following functionality is available only if there is a valid device  
connected to the DOCK connector on the rear panel and the DOCK input

Troubleshooting & Maintenance  
Lexicon  
The RV-5 is powered on, but there is no audio.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
1. Make sure that the source device is powered on, playing audio,  
and set to the right output connector.  
The RV-5 does not power on.  
1. Make sure the rear panel power switch is set to the ON  
position.  
2. Make sure the volume level is audible. Volume level can be  
adjusted with the front panel volume knob or the remote  
control VOL and buttons.  
2. Attempt to power on the RV-5 with the front panel Standby  
button and remote control ON button.  
3. Make sure the audio has not been muted. The message “MUTE  
ON” is displayed on the on-screen and front panel displays  
when audio has been muted in the Main Zone. In addition, the  
MUTE button on the front panel lights red when the Main Zone  
mute is active and green when the Zone 2 mute is active. If  
both Zones are muted, the Mute button lights amber. To  
deactivate mute, press the MUTE button or adjust the volume  
level.  
3. Examine the power cord to ensure a good connection between  
the rear panel AC input connector and the wall outlet.  
4. Check the electrical circuit and breaker.  
The remote control does not work.  
1. Make sure that the remote control touch screen is in the “LEX”,  
“Zone 2”, or “Tuner” menu layers. The remote control is a  
universal control designed to operate all of the home theater  
equipment in your system. In order to control the RV-5, the  
remote control must be in the “LEX”, “Zone 2”, or “Tuner”  
menu layers.  
4. Verify that all rear panel input and output connections are  
correct.  
5. Check the INPUT SETUP menu DIG AUDIO and ANLG AUDIO  
parameters to ensure the appropriate audio connector is assigned  
to the selected input.  
2. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the  
front panel IR receiver. When the rear panel IR IN connector is  
not in use, the remote control must be in line of sight with the  
front panel IR receiver for proper operation. The remote control  
might also become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent  
light is shining on the RV-5’s IR receiver.  
6. Verify that the incoming audio signal is compatible with the input  
chosen.  
Note: The rear panel input connectors marked S/PDIF INPUTS (RCA  
& TOSLINK connectors) are not compatible with MP3 sources.  
The Subwoofer(s) distorts frequently.  
3. Make sure the remote control batteries are correctly inserted  
with the proper polarity.  
The likely cause for the subwoofer(s) to distort is either an  
incorrectly set output level or the subwoofer high-pass filter is set  
too low. Verify that the SUB/LFE LPF setting (subwoofer cross-over  
point) is set correctly. If correct, try setting the SUB HPF setting to a  
higher value to resolve the issue. Refer to Section 3: Setup for more  
information.  
4. Replace the remote control batteries. When the batteries are  
low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage  
condition that prevents it from operating the RV-5.  
5. If using the optional RF-1 Receiver, ensure that it is properly  
connected to the RV-5 rear panel.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance  
A humming sound is present in the audio.  
In the SEMI AUTOCAL Test, the Far Field Test keeps failing.  
1. If a cable TV connection is present, disconnect the cable from  
the wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, a ground  
loop isolation device is required. Contact your dealer or cable  
provider for assistance.  
1. Ensure that the microphone is placed in your preferred seating  
location.  
2. Ensure that the volume is set to -20dB.  
3. In the Speakers Menu, ensure that none of the speakers  
connected to the system have a cross-over selection of NONE.  
2. Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem.  
Once the problem is identified, make sure the associated  
component is properly grounded and connected to the same  
electrical circuit as the RV-5 Receiver.  
During the Far Field Test, test tones are sent to ALL speaker  
locations, regardless of the settings identified in the Speakers  
menu. Therefore, every speaker that is plugged in MUST have  
a cross-over setting other than NONE for the Far Field test to be  
successul. If a cross-over is set to NONE but the speaker is  
plugged in, the test will fail because it will “see” a speaker that  
is identified as having no cross-over point.  
RF interference is present in the audio or video.  
1. Make sure the RV-5 is not positioned too close to RF-emitting  
devices.  
4. Refer to the “AUTOCAL Error Messages” section found later in  
this chapter for more information about specific error messages  
related to the AUTOCAL process.  
2. Move such items one at a time to isolate which device is  
causing the problem.  
3. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables wherever  
possible.  
The volume won’t go to the +10 dB maximum level.  
Audio sounds distorted when using analog audio inputs.  
The speaker output level settings may affect the maximum volume  
level of the RV-5 Receiver. The maximum volume level is +10 dB  
minus the maximum output level setting of any speaker. Thus, if  
your front L/R output levels are set to +3 dB, the maxium allowable  
volume level is +10 dB minus 3 dB, or +7 dB.  
The likely cause for distorted audio while using the analog audio  
inputs is that the input voltage is too high. The RV-5 analog inputs  
have a maximum rating of 2 Vrms. Any input voltages higher than  
this limit will exhibit audible distortion.  
To correct the problem, reduce the analog audio output from the  
connected device using the volume or level control. If neither is  
available, an intermediate device may be required. Contact your  
Lexicon dealer for assistance.  
The picture on the video monitor is all red.  
This is a synchonization problem when using HDMI. When the  
source device and video monitor do not sync correctly, the  
color spacing may not load correctly. When the monitor color  
is all red, or all green, it means that only half of the color  
spacing data was loaded into the video monitor.  
To correct the problem, simply enter the OSD menu and then exit  
out again. This will resync the video and should clear the error.

The RV-5 is exhibiting erratic behavior.  
1. Change to a different input, then return to the original input.  
This may clear the discrepency.  
5. Verify that the selected output is not analog with a HDCP  
(High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) input source.  
Source material that carries HDCP encoding is only available  
through the HDMI output. No video is output on the analog  
output connectors.  
2. Put the RV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take  
the RV-5 out of Standby mode.  
3. Set the rear panel power switch of the RV-5 to the OFF position.  
Wait 10 seconds. Then set the rear panel power switch to the  
ON position.  
6. Verify that the input type selected on the video monitor  
matches the selected output on the RV-5.  
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.  
Video is shifted to the left.  
When the RV-5 has both component and HDMI cables connected to a  
video monitor with the Faroudja processing active, the Faroudja  
processing may cause the video to shift to the left when the  
component output is selected, particularly at higher resolution  
settings.  
5. If the steps above do not resolve the behavior, document all  
user-defined settings on the Installation Worksheet that begins  
on page D-2. Then, follow the instructions found later in this  
chapter to restore factory default settings.  
To correct the issue, change the Display CONNECTION parameter  
from HDMI/DVI to ANALOG, or unplug the HDMI cable.  
To change the CONNECTION parameter:  
1. Enter the OSD menu by pressing MENU on the remote control.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance  
VIDEO IN is set to NONE, but the monitor has a video error, or  
is showing a blue screen.  
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.  
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.  
2. Put the RV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take  
the RV-5 out of Standby mode.  
Note: This condition can also exist when the VIDEO IN parameter  
has been setup, but there is no active incoming signal.  
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.  
The 2-line OSD display does not appear on the video monitor.  
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.  
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.  
The RV-5 is connected via USB to the PC but the computer is  
playing with the sound card, not the RV-5.  
While using HDMI connections, the video monitor is behaving  
oddly.  
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.  
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

2. If the incoming analog video signal is Macro-vision protected, a  
VIDEO RESOLUTIONS TABLE  
form of copy protection for analog sources, then the component  
video output must be either 480i or 480p resolution. If the  
output resolution setting has a value that is higher than 480p  
resolution, then no analog signal is output.  
The RV-5 Receiver is designed to allow flexibility in the selection of  
video output resolutions. However, there are restrictions on what  
resolutions can be made available due to incoming signal  
limitations.  
3. If the HDMI is not connected when the incoming signal is a  
Macro-vision protected analog video, then the VIDEO OUT  
parameter changes automatically to 480p resolution and only  
component video is output.  
If you are not getting the expected resolution options for your  
video monitor, it is possible that there is an incompatability  
between the input setup selections and the incoming signal. The  
table below describes those formats that are possible, given a  
specific input source and input setup conditions.  
4. The difference between BYPASS and CONVERSION options is  
where the video encoder is used (CONVERSION) or not  
(BYPASS) when the S-video or composite video input is selected.  
In CONVERSION mode, digital video from the analog input is  
provided to the video encoder and the S-video and composite  
video outputs are encoded. In BYPASS mode, the analog input  
signal goes to the video output directly, with no encoding.  
Notes:  
The following notes refer to the “Note” column in the table.  
1. If the incoming HDMI signal is copy-protected (HDCP), all  
analog video output is blocked. All the available outputs that  
may be affected by copy protection are noted in the table by a  
double asterix (**).

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS  
The bulleted items below describe routine maintenance that should  
be performed on a periodic basis.  
It is possible to reset the RV-5 Receiver to its factory settings.  
However, doing so will permanently delete any user-defined or  
manually-entered settings, including parameters such as speaker  
setup changes, input names, and tuner presets.  
Clean the RV-5 exterior surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do  
not use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners or strong  
commercial cleaners. Do not use a cloth made with steel wool  
or metal polish. If the RV-5 is exposed to a dusty environment, a  
low-pressure blower can be used to remove dust from its  
exterior surface.  
Before performing a factory reset, be sure to use the  
worksheets in Appendix D to record all of the input and setup  
information. The factory reset WILL delete all custom settings  
except for the saved EQ Presets.  
Replace the remote control batteries as needed. The remote  
control requires four AAA batteries. When these batteries are  
low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage  
condition that prevents it from operating the RV-5. Normal  
operation will resume when new batteries are installed.  
To restore the factory default settings:  
1. Record all parameters and user-defined settings on the  
Installation Worksheet that begins on page D-2.  
Note: The Remote Control will not lose any custom settings if the bat-  
teries run out. All custom settings are stored in non-volatile FLASH  
memory.  
2. Put the RV-5 into Standby.  
3. Press and hold the MUTE and ST/MON buttons at the same  
time.  
After several seconds, the RV-5 will turn on. The front panel display  
will state “RESET” and then it will return to the normal display. All  
parameters and user-defined values will now reflect the factory  
default settings, with the exception of any saved EQ Presets.  
Note: If you want to save your settings before restoring the factory  
defaults, you must record them manually. The Installation Worksheet  
in Appendix D has been provided to assist you.

REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING  
The RV-5 remote control is a very powerful and flexible  
pre-programmed and learning remote control, designed to be the  
universal controller of your home theater system.  
MENU NAME  
LCD TOUCH  
SCREEN  
The RV-5 remote control can operate up to 14 home entertainment  
and home automation components by using the remote control’s  
pre-programmed code library, or by letting the remote control “learn”  
from another remote, one button at a time. The RV-5 remote control  
has many additional operating features to add convenience and  
enjoyment to the operation of any home entertainment system. You  
can create your own button labels on the LCD screen; program forty  
favorite channel buttons; operate the volume, channel and transport  
buttons from one device when you are controlling another device; and  
perform multiple tasks with the press of a single button.

3. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)  
buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is  
displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch  
screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.  
SETTING UP THE REMOTE CONTROL  
The RV-5 remote control can be set up so that it controls all of the  
components of your home entertainment system, making remote  
access simple and efficient. There are two ways to set up the remote  
control:  
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the  
remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30  
seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that  
the remote control is no longer in Setup mode. If this occurs, you will  
need to repeat this step to re-enter the Setup mode.  
Pre-programmed Codes - Allows you to set up all of the but-  
tons at once, by entering the pre-programmed 3-digit codes of  
the component manufacturers.  
Button Learning - Allows you to transfer functions from other  
remotes, both old and new, one button at a time.  
4. Touch the P-PRO option to select the Pre-Programmed Method.  
The menu name changes to “P-PRO” and the menu options area  
now contains seven component options.  
Of the two methods, the pre-programmed codes method is the  
fastest, since all functions are programmed at the same time. However,  
it’s possible that a 3-digit code may not be available for your  
component. We recommend that you start with the pre-programmed  
code method and then perform the button learning method as  
necessary.  
Note: While in the Setup mode, the MAIN button acts as an escape  
button. Each time the MAIN button is pushed, it will back out of one  
menu layer.  
5. Select the component that you want to program. If the  
component you wish to setup is not on this page, touch the menu  
page arrow to select from the components on page 2.  
Pre-Programming Your Remote Control:  
Follow the steps below to set up your RV-5 remote control using the  
pre-programmed manufacturers’ codes.  
Once a selection is made, the bottom of the screen flashes  
“FROM TABLE”.  
The pre-programmed 3-digit codes for each component and  
manufacturer can be found at the back of this Appendix. The codes are  
listed by Component Category, such as TV, VCR, and DVD; then by  
brand name, such as Lexicon and Samsung.  
6. Confirm your component selection by pressing the button again  
for the type of component you want to program.  
Note: This step is necessary because the selection may not be the  
same for Steps 5 and 6. For example, if you are setting up the SAT  
option to be a second TV, then the first press in Step 5 would have  
been SAT and the second press in Step 6 would then be TV.  
1. Find the code listing for the component that you want to set up in  
the Pre-Programmed Codes library, found later in this chapter. If  
there is more than one code, be sure to note all of them as your  
component will only fully respond to one of them, so you may  
have to try multiple codes.  
7. Point the remote control at the component you want to program  
and enter the first of the 3-digit manufacturer’s codes using the  
number keypad on the remote.  
Note: 305 is the factory default setting for the Lexicon RT-20 Universal  
Disc Player.  
If the 3-digit code that you entered is the correct one, the  
component will turn off. If the component does not turn off,  
continue entering code numbers from your list until the  
component turns off.  
2. Turn on the component that you want to setup for remote  
control.

scroll the code number one digit at a time. If you hold your finger over  
the UP or DOWN button, the code number will scroll until your finger  
is removed.  
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the  
remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30  
seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that  
the remote control is no longer in Setup mode. If this occurs, you will  
need to repeat this step to re-enter the Setup mode.  
8. When the component turns off, press the ON button on the  
remote to turn the component back on. Test several functions to  
ensure that the component responds correctly to the remote  
commands. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you may  
not have the right code - enter the next code option on your list  
until you find the best match for the component.  
2. Touch the RECAL option. The touch screen now shows a four-page  
menu that lists each component name and the 3-digit code that  
was assigned to it.  
Note: If you are unable to find a code that will accurately control your  
component, then you’ll need to use the Button Learning procedure,  
which follows this procedure, to program the component.  
3. Write down the code number for each component for future  
reference. Appendix D of this manual provides a convenient table  
for you to record the 3-digit pre-programmed code numbers.  
9. Once you’ve found the right code, touch the SAVE option on the  
touch screen. The screen will blink “SAVED” two times, indicating  
that the code has been successfully saved.  
4. Exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button until the touch  
screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area. The remote  
control is in normal operation mode again.  
10. Exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button until the touch  
screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area. The remote  
control is in normal operation mode again.  
Button Learning Procedure For Your Remote Control:  
11. Repeat Steps 1 through 10 to program all other components in  
your home theater system. For any components that do not have  
a valid 3-digit code, continue to the Button Learning procedure to  
program those components.  
Follow the steps below to set up your RV-5 remote control using the  
Button Learning procedure. The RV-5 remote control can “learn”  
commands from other remote controls, both old and new, one button  
at a time. Follow the steps below to allow your RV-5 remote control to  
learn the button commands from other remote controls in your home  
theater system.  
Recalling Pre-Programmed Setup Code Numbers:  
Note: We recommend that you use this procedure only after you’ve  
determined that no 3-digit manufacturers’ codes exist for the component  
in question.  
In case you didn’t write down the pre-programmed code numbers  
that you used when you set up your Lexicon remote controls, these  
3-digit manufacturers’ numbers can be recalled. Perform the  
following procedure to recall the pre-programmed 3-digit code for  
any component.  
1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)  
buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is

“SAVED”. The learning procedure is complete and was  
successful.  
If “FAILD” is displayed, try teaching the same button once  
again by repeating Steps 5 & 6.  
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the  
remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30  
seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that  
the remote control is no longer in Setup mode. If this occurs, you will  
need to repeat this step to re-enter the Setup mode.  
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 to teach the RV-5 remote control any  
additional button commands from the component’s remote. To  
return to Step 4, press the MAIN button once.  
8. When you are done teaching the Lexicon remote control, exit the  
Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button until the touch screen  
displays MAIN in the menu heading area. The remote control is in  
normal operation mode again.  
3. Touch the LEARN option to select the Button Learning Method.  
The menu name changes to “LEARN” and the menu options area  
now contains seven component options. The bottom of the  
screen flashes “SELECT”.  
Test all your new commands. If any of them don’t work, try the button  
learning procedure again, keeping in mind the following suggestions:  
4. Select the component that you want to program. If the  
component you wish to setup is not on this page, touch the menu  
page arrow to select from the components on page 2.  
Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen, or  
quartz lighting can interfere with the learning process.  
Once a selection is made, the menu name changes to the  
selected component name.  
Even though the old remote seems to be working fine,  
replace the current batteries with fresh alkaline batteries.  
If you want to teach any command to a component button on  
the RV-5 remote control, press the component button when  
the menu name says “LEARN”. The menu name will change to  
“READY” and the menu page area indicates the button that you  
pressed. If you pressed the wrong button, press the MAIN  
button to return to the Setup menu where you can start again  
(return to Step 3). Once “READY” is displayed, skip ahead to  
Step 6.  
Gradually vary the distance between the remote controls.  
Try 1-inch, 2-inches, and so on up to 4-feet.  
Try tapping the button on your old remote instead of just  
pressing and holding it during the learning process.  
The following list provides additional information regarding the button  
learning procedure and how the RV-5 remote control behaves when

Use the menu page arrows to navigate to the other menu pages, if  
required. The menu name changes to the name of the component  
option that you touched and the bottom of the screen now flashes  
“STEP 1”.  
Macro Using Component Button Setup:  
To setup a macro to use a component, in Step 2 of the procedure  
above, after pressing MACRO, press the page button twice. The  
menu name changes to MAIN. Touch the component option that you  
want to set as the macro button. You can navigate to page 2 if  
necessary. Now continue in the procedure to Step 3 and follow the rest  
of the procedure to completion.  
5. Press the ON button again to confirm the action. The Step  
Indicator now displays “STEP 2”.  
Note: The Step Indicator is a macro step counter. Every button that is  
pressed will increase the Step Indicator by one. But each macro can  
store up to 190 steps.  
Setting a “Press & Hold” Macro:  
6. Press the MAIN button to return to the Main component listing.  
Another option for the component button macros is to only send the  
macro if the component button is held down. The advantage of this  
option is that a normal press of the component button will simply

switch components without triggering the macro. Only holding down  
the component button will trigger the macro.  
5. On the “master” remote, touch the SEND option. The SEND/RECV  
options are replaced with “START” and the bottom of the touch  
screen flashes “PRESS START”.  
To set the “Press & Hold” macro, enter a delay as the first step of the  
macro by pressing the PAUSE (||) button. Each press adds half a second  
to the delay. The amount of delay determines how long the user must  
hold down the button before the macro is sent.  
6. First on the “slave” remote and then on the “master” remote,  
touch the START option to begin the cloning process.  
Note: Cloning typically takes about 40 seconds. After a successful  
cloning is complete, the newly cloned remote will flash “GOOD”.  
7. When finished, exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button  
until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area.  
The remote control is in normal operation mode again.  
Cloning other Lexicon RV-5 Remote Controls:  
If you happen to own more than one RV-5 remote control, you can  
copy and transfer the setup from one remote to the other. Follow the  
instructions below to clone your RV-5 remote control.  
Setting System Volume Control & Other Punch Throughs:  
1. On both the programmed remote control and the remote that  
you want to program, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)  
buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is  
displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch  
screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.  
The RV-5 remote control provides the option of setting up the volume  
control over all of the components in your home theater system, even  
with components that don’t have their own built-in volume controls,  
such as TiVo. This is a very powerful feature as, once it’s setup, it will  
save you the constant hassle and inconvenience of switching between  
component modes to individually adjust volume controls. This feature  
is called a “Punch Through” and is not limited to strictly volume  
control. Follow the instructions to set the system volume control. Then  
see the note following the instructions to learn what other punch  
through features are available.  
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the  
remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30  
seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that  
the remote control is no longer in Setup mode. If this occurs, you will  
need to repeat this step to re-enter the Setup mode.  
2. Touch the CLONE button on both remotes. The menu name  
changes to “CLONE” and the bottom of the screen flashes  
“SELECT BUTTON”. A new screen now displays with the options:  
SEND, RECV, and EXIT.  
1. Since a home theater system may use the RV-5 for its sound  
source, first you must identify which component you want to use  
for the system sound/volume control.  
2. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)  
buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is  
displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch  
screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.  
Touching the EXIT option will leave the menu without making  
any changes or triggering the cloning process.  
3. Line up the “master” remote control with the “slave” remote  
control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart.  
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the  
remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30  
seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that  
4. On the “slave” remote, touch the RECV option. The SEND/RECV  
options are replaced with “START” and the bottom of the touch  
screen flashes “PRESS START”.

menu name changes to “PUNCH” and the bottom of the screen  
flashes “SELECT BUTTON”. A new screen now displays with the  
options: VOL, PLAY, CH, and VOD.  
VOD - Guide, Menu, Info, Exit, Up, Down, Left, Right, and

To set any of the other punch through features, perform the Steps for  
the System Volume control, but in Step 4, touch the desired alternate  
control option (CH, PLAY, or VOD).  
4. Touch the VOL (Volume) option. The menu name changes to  
“VOL” and the component options are displayed. The VOL option  
sets up the group of three buttons - Volume Up, Volume Down,  
and Mute - all in one action.  
Hiding and Adding Pages:  
The bottom of the touch screen flashes “PUNCH TO”. Touch  
the option for the component that doesn’t have volume control  
commands yet (like the DVD). This is the component you are  
going to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.  
Each of the component touch screen menus actually contains five  
pages. However, in most cases, only two to four pages are visible in the  
factory default settings; the rest of the menu pages are hidden. If you  
wish to use the hidden pages, you can ADD them. If you don’t want to  
use some of the existing pages, you can HIDE them. Follow the  
instructions below to add or hide pages in both the component and  
favorite menus.  
Note: If you want to PUNCH TO the MAIN component, press the  
POWER OFF button at this time.  
5. The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now  
select the MAIN component that has the volume commands that  
you want to use (for example, “LEX” for the RV-5 Receiver). The  
bottom of the touch screen flashes “SAVED”.  
1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)  
buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is  
displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch  
screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.  
6. Repeats Steps 4 & 5 to add all of the components that you’d like  
to control through the system volume control.  
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the  
remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30  
seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that  
the remote control is no longer in Setup mode. If this occurs, you will  
need to repeat this step to re-enter the Setup mode.  
7. When finished, exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button  
until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area.  
The remote control is in normal operation mode again.  
The Punch Through feature is NOT limited to volume and can also be  
applied to channel selection and other functions. If you find yourself  
switching to a particular component frequently to use a group of  
controls, consider using Punch Through for another group. The  
available punch through features, and the controls that the punch  
through operates, are:  
2. Touch the EDIT option to add and hide touch screen menu pages.  
The menu name changes to “EDIT” and the bottom of the screen  
flashes “SELECT BUTTON”.

menu without making any changes.  
4. Navigate to the menu and page that you want to HIDE or ADD.  
When you select a page, the top of the screen indicates whether  
you want to “ADD?” or “HIDE?” the displayed page.  
3. Touch either the LEARN, MACRO, or FAV option. A new screen  
now displays with the following options:  
5. When you’re ready to change a page’s visibility, to ADD or HIDE it,  
press the LIGHT button.  
ALL - Erases ALL of the specified LEARNED, MACRO, or FAV  
buttons everywhere in the remote.  
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to ADD or HIDE any menu pages desired on  
other components or the favorites pages.  
DEVICE - Erases all the LEARNED or MACRO buttons in a  
SINGLE component. This option is not available for FAV  
(Favorite) channels since they are not tied specifically to a  
component.  
7. When finished, exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button  
until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area.  
The remote control is in normal operation mode again.  
KEY - Erases one button only.  
ERASING COMMANDS  
4. If you touch ALL, the remote will prompt you by displaying  
“SURE?”. After the SURE prompt is touched, all the buttons will be  
erased.  
You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro,  
or a favorite channel. You can erase an ENTIRE component’s learned  
command or macro buttons. You can also erase ALL of your learned  
commands on ALL components, or all your macros and favorite  
channels everywhere.  
5. If you touch DEVICE, a list of component options are displayed.  
Touch the component option that you wish to erase. The bottom  
of the screen will flash “ERASE” twice, then “ERASED”.  
6. If you touch KEY, you’ll need to navigate to the component that  
you want. Touch a button to erase it. The bottom of the screen will  
flash “ERASE” twice, then “ERASED”.  
Note: To erase everything and return the remote control to its factory  
default settings, refer to the “Restoring Factory Default Settings”  
procedure, which follows this secton.  
7. When finished, exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button  
until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area.  
The remote control is in normal operation mode again.  
1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter)  
buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is  
displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch  
screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS  
OPTIONAL RF-1 RECEIVER  
If you’re afraid you’ve accidently overwritten functions that you  
wanted, or want a “clean-slate” to start from, the remote control can  
be reset to its factory default settings. Follow the instructions below to  
restore the factory default settings.  
The optional RF-1 Receiver utilizes the RF feature of the Lexicon remote  
control, allowing you to control components that are completely  
out-of-sight, up to 100-feet away. Since the RF-1 Receiver picks up the  
RV-5’s remote control radio frequency signal, the remote control no  
longer needs to be pointed directly at the components to control  
them. Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your  
components, and still control them with ease.  
Note: Restoring the Factory Default Settings will ERASE all customized  
features, including renamed components, learned buttons, and  
macros.  
1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and STOP  
buttons at the same time. The bottom of the touch screen flashes  
“WARNING!”.  
The RF-1 Receiver accessory requires no setup to the Lexicon remote  
control in order for the feature to work - you need only place the RF-1  
Receiver in the rack or cabinet, or attach an emitter to the RV-5 front  
panel over the IR receiver. Every time a command is sent from the  
remote control, it sends both a standard IR and an RF signal. The RF-1  
Receiver automatically receives the remote’s radio signals and  
translates them into the infrared commands that control the  
components.  
NOTE: You now have 3 seconds to perform the next step. If a button  
is not pressed within 3 seconds, the RESET heading will revert to  
MAIN, indicating that the remote control is no longer in Reset mode. If  
this occurs, you will need to repeat this step to re-enter the Reset  
mode.  
Note: The Lexicon remote control radio signals will not control components  
directly. You must have the RF-1 Receiver installed to receive the remote’s  
radio signals. Components that came with “no pointing” radio remote  
controls cannot be operated by the Lexicon remote unless the component  
can be switched to standard IR via its internal menus. Some remote  
control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Lexicon  
remote.  
2. After about 10 seconds, “RESET” is displayed in the Menu name  
section at the top of the LCD touch screen.  
A new screen now displays with three options: ALL, PROG, and  
EXIT. Touching the EXIT option will leave the menu without  
making any changes.  
3. Touch the ALL option. The remote will prompt you by displaying  
“SURE?”. After the SURE prompt is touched, the factory default  
settings are restored.  
4. When the remote is done restoring the factory default settings, the  
menu heading reverts to MAIN. When the touch screen displays  
MAIN in the menu heading area, then the remote control is in  
normal operation mode again.
