User manual LEXICON RV-5

[. . . ] RV-5 Receiver User Guide IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read these instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] 5-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the input source device does NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same bass management options for the direct input as used for all other inputs. If all eight channel direct inputs are in use, then audio from the REAR L/R inputs will be redirected to the side speakers. 7. 1-CH BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the 8-channel direct inputs are in use and the input source device has its own internal bass management system. The incoming audio stream passes from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog-to-digital conversion. 7-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the 8-channel direct inputs are in use and the input source device does NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same bass management options for the direct input as used for all other inputs. · · · · · 3-29 Setup SURROUND CONFIGURATION Lexicon 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. Note: The Logic 7 Default parameter is the one exception in the Surround Configuration menu - this parameter has different functionality, as described on the following page.

If this parameter is OFF, then the RV-5 selects the native format of the incoming signal as the default listening mode. If set to ON, then all incoming audio signals are defaulted to the Logic 7 listening modes. Setting the Logic 7 Default to ON does not prevent other listening modes from being available through the Mode buttons. Selecting the DOLBY, DTS, DSP, or STER soft button on the remote control switches the Mode menu selections to any listening modes available for those families. Note: The Logic 7 Default is the only menu item in the Surround Config menu that has different functionality. 3-31 Setup DOLBY CONFIGURATION Lexicon Selecting the SETUP menu DOLBY CONFIG option opens the Dolby Configuration menu, which is used to configure the Dolby surround modes for optimum performance. DIMENSION MAIN MENU AUDIO CONTROLS VIDEO STATUS SETUP SETUP DISPLAY SETUP SPEAKER/EQ SETUP INPUT SETUP SURROUND CONFIG DOLBY CONFIG MUTE LEVELS POWER ON SETTINGS DOLBY CONFIGURATION MODE: DOLBY PLII MUSIC CENTER WIDTH:3 DIMENSION: 0 PANORAMA: OFF NIGHT: OFF SETUP DOLBY CONFIG DIMENSION R-1, R-2, R-3, O, F-1, F-2, F-3 Alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a shallower presentation (F-1 to F-3) that appears to move the center of the sound field towards the front of the room or a deeper presentation (R-1 to R-3) that appears to move the sound field towards the rear of the room. PANORAMA Note: The Dolby Configuration only applies to the Dolby PLII Music and Dolby PLIIx Music listening modes. The Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode requires a 7. 1-channel configured system. SETUP DOLBY CONFIG PANORAMA OFF, ON MODE SETUP DOLBY CONFIG MODE PLII, PLIIx Appears to increase the sound presentation along the sides of the room by extending the stereo image to include surround channel signals, which enhances the sense of surround sound by creating a "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging. Selects the MODE parameter, which chooses between the Dolby PLII Music and Dolby PLIIx Music listening modes. NIGHT SETUP DOLBY CONFIG NIGHT OFF, MID, MAX CENTER WIDTH SETUP DOLBY CONFIG CENTER WIDTH 0 TO 7 Adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front soundstage between the center and front left/right speakers. The higher settings spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right channels while a lower number produces a tigher center channel presentation. The Center Width range is 0 to 7 in single increments. Adjusts the audio settings for Night mode. The Night mode uses special processing to preserve the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. [. . . ] 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: The Lexicon remote control radio signals will not control components directly. [. . . ]
