PC & DOCK OVERVIEW
The PC & Dock inputs are the only “hard-wired” inputs in the MV-5
Processor. Unlike the other inputs, both have very specific
functionality.
The PC input is tied to the USB input on the rear panel and is for use
with media player software. 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 both of these inputs have devoted Remote Control menu
controls, there are NO front panel controls for use with the PC and
DOCK inputs.
For more information about the PC and Dock operation, refer to
Section 5: PC & Dock Controls.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The MV-5 Processor remote control provides full operation of the
MV-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 MV-5
Processor. 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 MV-5 remote control:
• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel
IR receiver (unless using the optional RF-1 RF 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 IR receiver.
• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a
30-degree angle no more than 40 to 60 feet (12.2m to 18.3m)
from the MV-5. Placing the MV-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.
