19 DOCK CONNECTOR
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.
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.
20 PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUTS
Provide output for external power amplifiers for applications that
require them.
21 TUNER ANTENNA CONNECTORS
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.
AMPLIFIER OVERVIEW
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
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.
Use up to 10-gauge speaker cable to ensure low-impedance
connections between the amplifier and the speakers. Observe
correct speaker polarity.
CAUTION!
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.
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.
