MV-5 PC & Dock Controls
5-3
When the connection between a computer and the MV-5 is made
for the first time, or if the USB connection is plugged into a different
USB jack on a computer or hub that has not been previously
connected to the MV-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 MV-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
MV-5 with the PC input selected. The computer MUST be
on and connected to the MV-5 rear panel USB jack BEFORE
selecting the PC input on the MV-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.
PLAYING PC MEDIA
Before selecting the PC input on the MV-5, make certain that
one of the media players listed above has been opened on
the computer and is the “top” or active screen. The remote
control PC input commands will not operate the media player if it is
minimized or “behind” other programs.
You are now ready to begin playing music. The MV-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 MV-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 will start the playlist. If the
playlist is already playing, then pressing this option will pause
it.
•The PC- option mimics the Skip Back control. Pressing this
option will cause the media player to skip back a track in the
playlist.
•The PC+ option mimics the Skip Forward control. Pressing this
option will cause 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.
