RV-5Setup 3-15 To Customize the Name of the Selected Input: 11. Select the input and enter the Input Setup menu. 12. Select the Name parameter. Note that a blinking square appears in the first letter position. 13. Using the and arrows, scroll through the letter list until you find the first desired letter. The letter list is arranged with Uppercase letters > lowercase letters > numbers > symbols. The letters are listed in alphabetical order and the numbers in numerical order. Most standard ASCII characters are included. 14. Press the SELECT button or arrow to save the first letter and move to the next letter. A blinking square appears in the second letter position. 15. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 until the complete name is entered. Note: The arrow saves the custom name. The arrow allows you to move forward, one space per one button press. To add a space to your custom name, press the SELECT button or arrow without choosing a letter. Use the same procedure to edit a previously saved name. VIDEO IN Selects the VIDEO IN parameter, which assigns one of the rear panel video input connectors to the current input. Available selections include NONE, HDMI 1-2, Component 1-3, S-Video 1-4, and Composite 1-4. The HDMI Audio & Video inputs, HDMI 1 & HDMI 2, are mutually exclusive inputs - only one input is available at a time for each input location. For example, while setting up the DVD input, if HDMI 2 is selected for the Video Input, then HDMI 1 is not a selectable option for the Digital Audio Input. V-PROCESSFAROUDJA, CONV ONLY, BYPASS Selects the V-PROCESS parameter, which identifies the type of video processing or conversion, if any, that is applied to the selected input source. Explanations of the available selections are listed below. Faroudja - Activates the Faroudja video processing feature. The video signals can be handled in several different ways, depending upon the input source. A standard-definition (480i or 576i) analog signal (composite, S-video, or component) is digitized and sent to the Faroudja video processor for enhancement. The signal is available as both an analog component and an HDMI signal. An analog component signal is digitized and sent to the Faroudja video processor for enhancement. The signal is available as both an analog component and an HDMI signal, but not at the analog composite or S-video monitor outputs. Any HDMI signal other than 1080i is sent to the Faroudja video processor for enhancement and is available as an output at both the HDMI and analog component outputs. Program material that carries HDCP (High- Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) encoding is only available through the HDMI output. HDMI signals in 1080i resolution are sent directly to the HDMI and analog component outputs without processing. Program material that carries HDCP encoding is only available through the HDMI output. The Faroudja selection delivers the best image quality when a digital video display is in use but it requires the use of a video display capable of accepting high-resolution (480p up to 1080i) signals through either an HDMI or component video connection.

SetupLexicon 3-16 Conv Only - Does not apply any video enhancement or processing to the incoming video signal, but outputs the signal in one of the following ways, depending on the input source. A standard-definition (480i or 576i) analog signal (composite, S-video, or component) is converted so that it is available as an HDMI signal at its input resolution, as well as at the standard S-video, composite, or component analog video outputs. An analog component signal is digitized and output at its input resolution through the HDMI outputs and as an analog component signal, but not through the analog composite or S-video monitor outputs. HDMI signals are output through both the HDMI and analog component outputs. Program material that carries HDCP encoding is only available through the HDMI output. Bypass – Does not apply any video enhancement or processing to the incoming video signal, but outputs the signal in one of the following ways, depending on the input source. Analog signals (composite, S-video, or component) are output only in the resolution and format that matches the input. HDMI input signals are output through the HDMI and analog component outputs. Program material that carries HDCP encoding is only available through the HDMI output. Note: If you are not getting the expected resolution options for your video monitor, it may be caused by an incompability between the input setup selections and the incoming signal. Refer to the Video Resolutions Table in Section 6: Troubleshooting and Maintenance for more detailed information.VIDEO OUT VIDEO OUT is a multi-purpose parameter; the function of the parameter depends upon the input source and the setting of the V-PROCESS parameter. When the V-PROCESS parameter is set to BYPASS or CONV ONLY, the VIDEO OUT parameter is a non-adjustable status display of the video resolution of the output signal, as determined by the input. When the Faroudja video processing is selected for the V-PROCESS parameter and the output is set to HDMI or component format, VIDEO OUT becomes an active user-selectable parameter which identifies the video output resolution. Available selections are AUTO, 1080i, 720p, and 480p. For HDMI inputs, the AUTO option automatically selects the highest output resolution supported by the HDMI-equipped monitor. For component inputs with copy protection, the component output is restricted to the resolution format of the incoming component signal. Note: If VIDEO OUT is set to AUTO when the component input is not copy protected, the component output is always set to 1080i format. If the video monitor does not support 1080i format, the signal will not display correctly. INPUT SETUPSETUPVIDEO OUT
RV-5Setup 3-17 DIG AUDIO Selects the DIG AUDIO parameter, which assigns one of the rear panel digital audio input connectors to the current input. Available selections include NONE, Optical 1-4, Coaxial 1-4, and HDMI 1-2. The HDMI Audio & Video inputs, HDMI 1 & HDMI 2, are mutually exclusive inputs - only one input is available at a time for each input location. For example, while setting up the DVD input, if HDMI 2 is selected for the Video Input, then HDMI 1 is not a selectable option for the Digital Audio Input. Note: Digital Audio is not selectable for the Tuner, PC, and Dock inputs. Refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls for more information. ANLG AUDIO Selects the ANLG AUDIO parameter, which assigns one of the rear panel analog audio input connectors to the current input. Available selections include NONE, Analog 1-6, 7.1 Analog, and 5.1 Analog. Note: Analog audio is not selectable for the Tuner, Dock, and PC inputs. Refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls for more information. DIG/ANLG AUTOOFF, ON Selects the DIG/ANLG AUTO parameter, which identifies if the RV-5 should switch to an analog signal source for an input where the digital input source has been interrupted. This feature is particularly useful with certain cable set-top boxes where the signal is normally digital but occasionally changes to analog.The parameter, when set to ON, identifies if there is both a digital and analog signal present to the input. If this condition is true, then the RV-5 prioritizes the digital signal over the analog signal. When the digital signal is interrupted, then it switches to the analog signal. Note: Digital/analog auto switching is not selectable for the Tuner, Dock, and PC inputs. Refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls for more information. MODE FAMILYLOGIC 7, DOLBY, DTS, DSP, STEREO Identifies the Surround Mode Family that is initially applied to the incoming audio streams for the currently selected input. Other surround mode families may still be applied. For more information, refer to the “Listening Modes” section found later in this chapter. Note: The Mode Family and Modes are connected. The Modes are driven by the Mode Family selection as well as by the incoming audio source. The current running data stream dictates what Mode Family options are available for selection. MODE Identifies the Listening Mode that is initially applied to the incoming audio streams for the currently selected Mode Family. Other listening modes may still be applied. For more information, refer to the “Listening Modes” section found later in this chapter. Note: The Mode Family and Modes are connected. The Modes are driven by the Mode Family selection as well as by the incoming audio source. The current running data stream dictates what Mode Family options are available for selection.

SetupLexicon 3-18 DEFAULT SURSTANDARD, USE LAST Identifies the Default Surround Mode that is activated when a digital source is selected. The STANDARD parameter activates the “standard” decoder of the source input. The USE LAST selection allows the RV-5 software to “remember” the last used listening mode for any given input source. Once selected, that mode will always be active on the corresponding input until another listening mode is selected. This parameter affects all inputs. Note: If the LOGIC 7 DEFAULT parameter in the SURROUND CONFIG menu is set to ON, the USE LAST selection is defeated and the listening mode will always switch to a LOGIC 7 mode. For normal functionality with the USE LAST selection, make sure that the LOGIC 7 DEFAULT parameter is set to OFF. A/D SAMPLE RATE48 KHZ, 96 KHZ The RV-5 converts the incoming analog audio signals to digital audio for all audio processing. The A/D SAMPLE RATE parameter allows you to select the sample rate of the A/D converters. Some surround processing modes, such as those in the DSP Mode Family, are only available at the 48 kHz sampling rate. This setting is only available for incoming analog audio streams and does not apply to any of the ANALOG BYPASS modes. A/V SYNC DELAY0 TO 180 mS Delays the audio until it matches the on-screen video. Select a value to activate an audio signal delay to compensate for video that is delayed relative to the audio. The A/V sync delay range is 0 to 180 ms in 1 ms increments. Each input has an independent A/V Sync Delay parameter. ADVANCED VIDEO Selects the ADVANCED VIDEO menu, which provides fine-tuning adjustments to the video output. For more information, refer to the next section, “Advanced Video”. Note: Most of the Advanced Video parameters are only available when the V-Process parameter is set to FAROUDJA. TRIGGER 2OFF, ON Selects the TRIGGER 2 parameter, which configures the Trigger OUT 2 connector on the rear panel. This trigger output can be configured independently for each input so that a trigger voltage signal is sent to the Trigger Out 2 connector when a specific input is selected. If the Trigger 2 parameter is set to ON, it will output its voltage when the associated input is activated in the Main Zone. It is not activated by Zone 2 input switching. The default for the Trigger 2 parameter is OFF. ZONE-2 OUTANALOG, DOWN MIX Identifies the type of audio that is sent to the Zone 2 outputs. The ANALOG setting is a straight bypass of the Main Zone stereo analog audio to the Zone 2 outputs. DOWN MIX provides a stereo DOWN MIX of the incoming audio to the Zone 2 outputs. DOWN MIX, which should be selected for digital or multi-channel analog sources, is only available if the Main Zone has an input selected that will accept a down mixed source. The ZONE 2 OUT parameter is NOT input-specific; a selection made for one input will be reflected in ALL inputs.

RV-5Setup 3-19 Note: If you have 5.1-channel or 7.1-channel ANALOG AUDIO assigned to an Input using the BYPASS listening mode, only the Front Left and Front Right channels will be sent to Zone 2 OUT with the ANALOG setting. In this condition, DOWN MIX is not available. The Main Zone and Zone 2 inputs are inter-related. For example, there is only one HD input that is accessible in both the Main Zone and Zone 2; there are NOT two separate HD inputs. Therefore, to set the ZONE 2 OUT in a Main Zone input, the same Zone 2 input must also be selected. DOWN MIX is only available if the following conditions exist: Zone 2 is ON (or the Zone 2 OFF button is not lit). Zone 2 has the same input selected as the Main Zone. If the Main Zone audio is ANALOG, it is not set to a BYPASS listening mode. If the ZONE-2 OUT parameter is set to ANALOG and an input has stereo analog audio assigned to it (ANALOG 1 to ANALOG 6 connectors), then choosing that input in Zone 2 will allow it to play the assigned ANALOG audio, regardless of what is playing in the Main Zone. If the ZONE-2 OUT parameter is set to DOWN MIX, selecting an input in Zone 2 will have one of the following results: If the Zone 2 input is the same as the Main Zone input, then Zone 2 will output a DOWN MIX of the Main Zone audio. If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input, but the Zone 2 DIG AUDIO IN parameter is the same as the selected Main Zone input, then Zone 2 will output a DOWN MIX of the Main Zone audio. If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input, but the Zone 2 ANLG AUDIO IN parameter is set to 5.1 ANALOG or 7.1 ANALOG, then Zone 2 will output a DOWN MIX of the Main Zone audio. If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input, but the Zone 2 ANLG AUDIO IN parameter is set to any of the six stereo analog input connectors, then Zone 2 will output the independent analog audio for that input. The Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs are special cases that do not quite function exactly as noted above. The ZONE-2 OUT parameter is preset to ANALOG and cannot be changed to DOWN MIX. Since the Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs operate independently of all other inputs... Any of the three may be selected in Zone 2 regardless of what is playing in the Main Zone. Any combination of these three inputs can be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2, including selecting any one them for both Zones simultaneously. If one of these three inputs is playing in the Main Zone, any other ANALOG input can be chosen for Zone 2.
SetupLexicon 3-20 ADVANCED VIDEO Selecting the SETUP menu INPUT SETUP menu ADVANCED VIDEO option opens the ADVANCED VIDEO menu, a two-screen menu which provides user-adjustable controls for sharpness, noise reduction, brightness, and other video fine-tuning. Note: Most of the Advanced Video parameters are only available when the V-Process parameter is set to FAROUDJA. INPUT TYPE Identifies the type of device being used for the input source. Once the selection is made, the advanced video settings will change to default settings that are best suited for that type of device. Manual changes to these settings may also be made. The input types available for selection are: DVD – Use with the output signal of a typical DVD player. VCR – Use with the output signal of an analog videocassette recorder. DIG CABLE – Use with digital cable set-top boxes. Even when a digital cable system is in use, there may be a mix of digital and analog channels. Start with this configuration and then change the advanced video options as needed to tailor the output to your preferences. DIG SAT – Use with digital satellite system set-top boxes. ANLG CABLE – Use with analog cable set-top boxes. ANLG SAT – Use with analog satellite system set-top boxes. DIG CAM – Use with digital camcorders or still-image cameras. ANLG CAM – Use with analog camcorders. Refer to the table on the following page for the default video source settings. SHARPNESS0 TO 100 Adjusts the degree to which the enhancement circuits that adjust the high-frequency content of the signal are applied. The setting acts on the vertical and horizontal as well as luminance and chrominance parameters to offer an enhanced depth in the picture as well as greater small object detail. In general, the lower settings are applicable for digital displays and sources, while the higher settings may be preferred for CRT-based displays and digital sources. The Sharpness adjustment range is 0 to 100 in single increments.

RV-5Setup 3-21 Most of the following Advanced Video parameters are simple ON/OFF toggle switches that apply to each input independently. NOISE REDUCTIONOFF, ON Reduces the video noise often present in analog input sources. X-COLOR SUPPRESSOFF, ON Reduces the cross-color interference that typically appears in composite video sources as moire’ in finely detailed objects. Moire’ effect is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots superimposed upon another set of lines or dots, where the sets differ in relative size, angle, or spacing. DCDi INTERPOLOFF, ON Directional Correlation De-interlacing (DCDi) Interpolation is a Faroudja technology that examines each pixel for the optimal direction from which to interpolate the video information, with regard to local edges. This adaptive process prevents the appearance of staircasing and the jagged edges that are often visible with other means of de-interlacing.

RV-5Setup 3-23 LISTENING MODES The RV-5 has a large selection of listening modes to choose from. The list of available listening modes is broken into two parts - the Mode Family and the Mode. The available listening modes vary depending upon the Mode Family selections, the input setup, and the incoming audio signal. The RV-5 features the ability to turn off selected listening mode families so that those options do not appear in the list of available listening modes. See the following section, “Surround Configuration”, for more information. The RV-5 also features the ability to modify elements of the Dolby listening modes, PLIIx and PLII, to better suit your listening preference. See the “Dolby Configuration” section found later in this chapter for more information. SELECTING A LISTENING MODE The Input Setup menu allows the user to select the initial listening mode and mode family that will be applied to any incoming data stream on that specific input. However, setting the input Mode Family and Mode parameters does not prevent other listening modes from being available through the Mode buttons. The Front Panel Mode and buttons allow the user to quickly scan through the available listening modes in the selected family for a given input or incoming data stream. The Remote Control Channel and buttons perform the same function. To select a different Mode Family, the remote control touch screen must be set to the first page of the LEX menu. Then selecting the DOLBY, DTS, DSP, or STER from the touch screen switches the Mode button selections to any listening modes available for each of those families, respectively.The RV-5 process of signal identification and listening mode selection is shown below: DTS + DOLBY LISTENING MODES When a DTS soundtrack is playing, the Mode Family menu for DTS contains two options. The DTS selection provides the currently available DTS listening modes. The Dolby selection contains two additional listening modes: DTS + PLIIx Film and DTS + PLIIx Music. Note: These DTS + Dolby listening modes are ONLY available when the incoming data stream is DTS.
