RV-5Setup 3-27 LISTENING MODE DESCRIPTIONS The following table provides a brief description of each listening mode. Logic 7 Film Logic 7 MusicA proprietary Lexicon technology, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded pro- grams or conventional stereo material. Film 7.1 and Music 7.1 are tailored specifically for use with rear speakers, while Film 5.1 and Music 5.1 are spe- cifically formatted for use without rear speakers. The Film modes should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding to experience increased center channel intelligibility and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans. The Music modes enhance the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40 Hz to 120 Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that seems broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy. Note: Logic 7 Film is designed for use with a center channel. If your speaker system does not have a center channel, then use Logic 7 Music. Dolby Digital Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency effects channel. This mode does not use the rear speakers. Dolby Digital EX Available when the receiver is configured for 7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is an extended version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially-encoded soundtracks so that a full 7.1 sound field is available. Even if a source does not contain specific EX encoding, the special algorithm may be used to derive a 7.1-channel output. Dolby Pro Logic II Film Music Game Pro LogicDolby Pro Logic II decodes full-range, discrete, left, center, right, right surround, and left surround channels from matrix surround-encoded programs and conventional stereo sources. The Dolby Pro Logic II Film mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic II Game mode is designed to enhance the soundtrack of video games for either dedicated consoles or computers. The Pro Logic mode re-creates the original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation format. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Film Music GameDolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark matrix surround technology, which creates a discrete 7.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel stereo sources when your system is configured for surround back speakers. Film, Music, and Game versions are available that customize the processing to the type of source in use. These modes may also be used to create 7.1 sound fields from 5.1 digital soundtracks. Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference WideDolby Virtual Speaker technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to reproduce the dynamics and surround sound effects of a precisely placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only front left and right speakers. In the Reference mode, the apparent width of the sound across the front image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers are close together. Depending upon the number of speakers available in your system, a variety of different sound field options are available for both the Reference and Wide modes. DTS 5.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music, or laser discs encoded with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency effects channel. DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix DTS-ES 6.1 DiscreteWhen the speaker configuration is set for 7.1-channel operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES Discrete-encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a separate low-frequency effects channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.

SetupLexicon 3-28 DTS Neo:6 Cinema DTS Neo:6 MusicThese two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a three-channel, five-channel, or six-channel surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of the Neo:6 when a program with any type of Matrix surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a non-encoded, two-channel stereo program is being played. DTS Neo:6 The DTS Neo:6 mode is designed for use with matrix-encoded digital signals. This mode is available when Digital DTS 96/24, DTS 5.1, and DTS 20-bit 5.1 CH CD data streams are active. DTS Neo:6 derives six channels when both side and rear speakers are present (rear speakers will be in parallel). It derives five channels when only side speakers are present. DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 is available on specially-encoded (and labeled) optical discs that offer five channels of audio with a 96kHz sampling rate that delivers greatly improved audio performance. When a DTS 96/24 disc is in use and the player is connected with a digital link, the mode is selected automatically. Hall 1 & Hall 2 The Hall modes, for both 5-channel and 7-channel systems, create sound fields that resemble a small-(Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall. 5-Channel Stereo 7-Channel StereoThis mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels. If the RV-5 has been configured for 6.1-/7.1-channel operation, both of these options are available for selection. If the RV-5 has been configured for 5.1-channel operation, only the 5-Channel Stereo option is available. 2-Channel Stereo This mode turns off all surround processing and presents pure left- and right-channel stereo programs. The bass management processing that routes low frequencies to the subwoofers is still active. 2-Channel Stereo BypassThis mode turns off all surround processing and present pure left- and right-channel stereo programs. The bass management processing that routes low frequencies to the subwoofers is still active. This mode does not allow any user modification of the audio, such as Bass or Treble adjustments. Note: This mode is only available when the Tone Controls are set to OFF.

RV-5Setup 3-29 5.1-CHANNEL & 7.1-CHANNEL DIRECT INPUTS There are four listening modes available for use with surround sources such as DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD, or Blue-ray players. These listening modes are for use when the RV-5 8-channel direct inputs are in use. We recommend you use these listening modes under the following conditions: 5.1-CH BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the Rear L/R inputs are NOT in use and the input source device has its own internal bass management system. The incoming audio stream passes from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog-to-digital conversion. This mode also mutes the unusued input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance. 5-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the input source device does NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same bass management options for the direct input as used for all other inputs. If all eight channel direct inputs are in use, then audio from the REAR L/R inputs will be redirected to the side speakers. 7.1-CH BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the 8-channel direct inputs are in use and the input source device has its own internal bass management system. The incoming audio stream passes from the source directly through to the volume control without any analog-to-digital conversion. 7-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the 8-channel direct inputs are in use and the input source device does NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same bass management options for the direct input as used for all other inputs. DTS & DOLBY STATUS DISPLAYS The upper right-hand corner of the front panel 2-line display may indicate status information regarding the incoming source. If a Dolby or DTS source is input and the RV-5 is configured to a surround system, the following status indicators may be displayed to indicate the state of the incoming source: coded DTS signal, discrete or matrix, is input to the surround back channels. “ON” indicates that the condition exists, or is active; “OF” indicates that the condition does not exist, or is off. DS-ON: Indicates when the input signal is encoded with Dolby Surround under the Dolby 2.0 standard. “ON” indicates that the condition exists, or is active; “OF” indicates that the condition does not exist, or is off. rround EX is input with the digital stream, if a surround channel (3/2 or 2/2) exists. “ON” indicates that the condition exists, or is active; “OF” indicates that the condition does not exist, or is off.

SetupLexicon 3-30 SURROUND CONFIGURATION Selecting the SETUP menu SURROUND CONFIG option opens the Surround Configuration menu, which is used to customize the list of available listening modes that can be applied to incoming signals. Each Mode Family has a subset of available listening modes that can be turned off. If the listening mode is set to OFF, then the applicable listening modes in that family are not available for selection from the mode buttons. If the listening mode is ON, then the applicable listening modes in that family are available for selection. These are not input-specific settings; if a Mode Family option is turned off, it is removed from the list of available listening modes for ALL inputs, and regardless of the incoming data stream. Some modes, such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and the Stereo modes in the PCM menus, cannot be excluded from the mode selections. Note: The Logic 7 Default parameter is the one exception in the Surround Configuration menu - this parameter has different functionality, as described on the following page.

RV-5Setup 3-31 LOGIC 7 DEFAULTOFF, ON Allows the user to choose Logic 7 as the default surround mode for all incoming audio signals. If this parameter is OFF, then the RV-5 selects the native format of the incoming signal as the default listening mode. If set to ON, then all incoming audio signals are defaulted to the Logic 7 listening modes. Setting the Logic 7 Default to ON does not prevent other listening modes from being available through the Mode buttons. Selecting the DOLBY, DTS, DSP, or STER soft button on the remote control switches the Mode menu selections to any listening modes available for those families. Note: The Logic 7 Default is the only menu item in the Surround Config menu that has different functionality. SURROUND CONFIGSETUPLOGIC 7 DEFAULT

SetupLexicon 3-32 DOLBY CONFIGURATION Selecting the SETUP menu DOLBY CONFIG option opens the Dolby Configuration menu, which is used to configure the Dolby surround modes for optimum performance. Note: The Dolby Configuration only applies to the Dolby PLII Music and Dolby PLIIx Music listening modes. The Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode requires a 7.1-channel configured system. MODEPLII, PLIIx Selects the MODE parameter, which chooses between the Dolby PLII Music and Dolby PLIIx Music listening modes. CENTER WIDTH0 TO 7 Adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front soundstage between the center and front left/right speakers. The higher settings spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right channels while a lower number produces a tigher center channel presentation. The Center Width range is 0 to 7 in single increments. DIMENSIONR-1, R-2, R-3, O, F-1, F-2, F-3 Alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a shallower presentation (F-1 to F-3) that appears to move the center of the sound field towards the front of the room or a deeper presentation (R-1 to R-3) that appears to move the sound field towards the rear of the room. PANORAMAOFF, ON Appears to increase the sound presentation along the sides of the room by extending the stereo image to include surround channel signals, which enhances the sense of surround sound by creating a “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging. NIGHTOFF, MID, MAX Adjusts the audio settings for Night mode. The Night mode uses special processing to preserve the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the sonic impact of a digital source. Use the MID setting for mild compression and the MAX setting for more severe compression.

RV-5Setup 3-33 MUTE LEVELS Selecting the SETUP menu MUTE LEVELS option opens the Mute Levels menu, which is used to adjust the mute levels of both the Main Zone and Zone 2 audio outputs. MAIN ZONEFULL, -10, -20, -30, -40dB Allows you to choose different levels of attenuation for Main Zone audio muting. The FULL setting completely mutes the box. The other available settings perform incremental muting. ZONE 2FULL, -10, -20, -30, -40dB Allows you to choose different levels of attenuation for Zone 2 audio muting. The FULL setting completely mutes the box. The other available settings perform incremental muting. POWER ON SETTINGS Selecting the SETUP menu POWER ON SETTINGS option opens the Power On Settings menu, which provides user preferences to the Power On Volume and Dock Auto Power settings. POWER ON VOLLAST, -80dB TO -10dB Identifies the starting volume level when the RV-5 is powered on. The Last parameter sets the volume to the same volume that existed when the unit was put into Standby or powered off from the rear panel switch. The Power On Volume can be set from –80dB to –10dB in 1dB increments. DOCK AUTO POWEROFF, ON If the Dock Auto Power parameter is set to ON, then if an iPod is playing when plugged into the Dock, it will take the RV-5 out of Standby mode and select the Dock input. If the Dock Auto Power parameter is set to OFF, then the RV-5 does not respond when a running iPod is plugged into the Dock. For more information about the Dock input, refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls. Note: If the Main Zone is OFF when the RV-5 is put into Standby, when the iPod is plugged into the Dock, the RV-5 will power up but the Main Zone will remain OFF. The user will need to manually select the DOCK input at that point.
