Getting Started Lexicon ABOUT THE RV-5 Thank you for purchasing the RV-5 Receiver, an 8-channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring that provides control of audio and video source selection in three zones at the same time. The RV-5 includes eight configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its built-in tuner, eight digital audio, eight analog audio, phono, five composite video, five S-Video or three component video input connectors.
RV-5 quality NTSC, PAL or SECAM video signals. Composite and S-Video sources can be converted to 480i NTSC (576i PAL) component video. The component video switcher can pass high-definition TV (HDTV) signals and standard-definition (SD) TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or degradation. Built to professional standards, the RV-5 is designed to serve as the control center in any high-quality home theater.

Getting Started RV-5 PRODUCT REGISTRATION Please register the RV-5 Receiver within 15 days of purchase. Register online at www.lexicon.com or complete and return the product registration card attached to the back cover of this user guide. Retain the sales receipt as proof of warranty coverage. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The RV-5 requires special care during installation to ensure optimal performance.
Getting Started Lexicon REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION The remote control requires four AAA batteries. The batteries should be replaced as needed. Alkaline batteries, which last longer without leaking, are recommended. When battery power is low, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition, preventing it from operating the RV-5. When this occurs, replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed. To replace the remote control batteries: 1.

Basic Operation RV-5 9 MAIN ZONE VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTORS 13 AC INPUT CONNECTOR Provides the Main Zone video outputs. One composite video connector, one S-Video connector, one component video connector, and one HDMI video connector are available. Provides power to the RV-5 through the supplied power cord. 14 AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS Provides inputs that can be used with any source device that is equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs.
Basic Operation REAR-PANEL OVERVIEW Lexicon (continued) 16 DOCK CONNECTOR Provides an input port 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 DOCK connector. With a compatible iPod connected to the RV-5, selecting the DOCK input allows you to play audio programming from the iPod.
Basic Operation RV-5 TUNER OVERVIEW The RV-5 features an AM/FM stereo radio tuner. The front panel displays the currently selected frequency, band, listening mode and volume. Forty presets can store AM or FM frequencies, identified by the preset number/name and station frequency/band. For example: WABC/90.90 FM or Preset 02/10.30 AM. Two antennas are supplied with the RV-5: one for AM and one for FM stereo. At a minimum, use of the supplied antennas is recommended to ensure consistent tuner performance.
Basic Operation TUNER OVERVIEW Lexicon Note: (continued) This feature is only accessible via the remote control. SCAN MODE Scan Mode scans through all available stations, pausing for two seconds on each station before scanning to the next one. To enter Scan Mode: Press and hold the front-panel ( / ) or remote-control ( Tune/Seek buttons until SCAN or SCAN is displayed. / ) To stop scanning: Press either Tune/Seek button.
Basic Operation RV-5 Service (PS) name. If the RDS information is not available, the preset name defaults to PresetXX, where XX is the listed number position in the Preset menu. For example, if Preset #01 is FM 90.90 and the call letters are WABC, then the name for that position is WABC. If Preset #23 does not broadcast their call letters, then that location is identified as Preset23 in the menu. See “Tuner Presets” on page 5-2 for additional information.
Basic Operation REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW The RV-5 remote control provides full operation of the RV-5, including commands, such as menu navigation, that are not available from the front panel.

Basic Operation RV-5 UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES TWO-LINE STATUS The RV-5 features two zones of operation: the Main Zone and Zone 2. The Main Zone controls audio and video signals in the primary listening space. Zone 2 controls digital and analog audio and composite or S-Video signals for a second zone or recording device. The two-line status opens in the on-screen and front-panel displays whenever the RV-5 detects a change in input source or listening mode.
Basic Operation Lexicon TUNER STATUS The Tuner status indicates the current frequency, band, listening mode and volume level. The Tuner status takes the place of the two-line status display for inputs using the built-in tuner.

Setup Lexicon SELECTING PREFERRED LISTENING MODES Preferred listening modes can be pre-selected so that when a particular type of input source is played, the pre-selected listening mode is activated. The RV-5 allows five preferred listening modes for each Main Zone input: one listening mode each for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES), 5.1a and MIC (LIVE!) sources. The table to the right indicates the INPUT SETUP menu parameters that can be used to select preferred listening modes.
Setup RV-5 When a preferred listening mode is selected, that listening mode is automatically activated whenever a new input is selected or an appropriate input source is present. For example, the following can occur when a preferred listening mode is activated (also refer to the corresponding menus on 3-10): If the DVD1 input is selected and a 2-channel source is played, the L7 FILM listening mode is activated. If a Dolby Digital source is played, the 5.1 L7 FILM listening mode is activated.
Setup Lexicon Modes that do not appear in the Input Setup menu DTS NEO:6 MUSIC SELECTING PREFERRED LISTENING MODES (continued) The Use Last Parameter When the RV-5 is set to use a preferred listening mode for a selected input, selecting another mode from the Mode scroll list replaces the preferred selection. However, this newly selected mode will be lost when switching between inputs.
Setup RV-5 The on-screen display should identify that the active listening mode for the DVD1 input is still PLIIx MOV. This is the only method of setting up a dynamic mode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) to behave like a preferred listening mode. Note: When a dynamic mode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) is set as in the above example, the setting is retained even when the RV-5 is set to standby.

The microphones included in the Lexicon Microphone Kit require careful handling. Dropping or otherwise physically abusing the microphones might cause errors during use or irreparable damage to the microphones. • The microphone wires also require careful handling. Do not sharply bend the wires or place objects on them.
