RV-5 Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls
5-5
USB jack on a computer or hub that has not been previously
connected to the RV-5, you will see a series of pop-up messages
from Windows to indicate that the computer is configuring itself for
the new device. Since the RV-5 provides a number of different
functions, you may see the “Found New Hardware” message up to
four times, one each for “A/V Receiver,” “Compatible Device,”
“Audio Receiver”, and “Human Interface Device.”
CAUTION!
Do NOT power cycle the computer while connected to the
RV-5 with the PC input selected. The computer MUST be
on and connected to the RV-5 rear panel USB jack BEFORE
selecting the PC input on the RV-5. Selecting the PC input
first may cause a burst of loud noise that may be
damaging to the speakers or the listener’s hearing.
Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for
damage caused in this manner.
PLAYING PC MEDIA
Before selecting the PC input on the RV-5, make certain that the
media player has been opened on the computer and is the
“top” or active screen. The remote control will not operate the
media player if it is minimized or “behind” other programs.
You are now ready to begin playing music. The RV-5 remote control
or the computer media player program can be used to control the
play, pause, skip forward, and skip back features of the media
player.
Using the RV-5 remote control:
• Page 4 of the “Lex” touch screen menu provides media player
controls for use with the PC input.
•The PC
|| option mimics the Pause/Play control. If the playlist
is not active, pressing this option starts the playlist. If the
playlist is already playing, then pressing this option pauses it.
•The PC- option mimics the Skip Back control. Pressing this
option causes the media player to skip back a track in the
playlist.
•The PC+ option mimics the Skip Forward control. Pressing this
option causes the media player to skip forward a track in the
playlist.
Once playback is started, the audio from a USB source is treated the
same as any other two-channel audio source, and you may apply
any of the appropriate surround processing modes.
Note: Whenever the USB jack is connected to the computer, the RV-5 will be
selected as the sound card for the computer, even while the RV-5 is in
Standby.
