RV-5 Basic Operation
2-9
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 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.
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.
For more information about the Tuner, PC, and Dock operation,
refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
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.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following factors can improve or impede remote control
operation.
Note the following before operating the RV-5 remote control:
• 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,
regardless of the active menu layer. The remote control ships
from the factory set to the “MAIN” menu layer.
