SetupLexicon 3-6 REAR AMPREAR AMP, ZONE 2 Selects the REAR AMP parameter, which identifies how the rear amplifier is utilized. The amplifier can drive the rear speakers in the Main Zone or the Zone 2 speakers. To maintain 7.1-channel surround sound in the Main Zone while using the Zone 2 outputs, the Rear/Zone2 speaker connectors or the Rear Preamp outputs should be used for the Main Zone rear channels while the Zone 2 OUT RCA connectors are used with a second amplifier for the Zone 2 audio. MANUAL Opens the MANUAL speaker setup menu, which allows the manual selection of the speaker distances, cross-over points, and output levels. See the next section, “Manual Speaker Set-Up”, for more details. SEMI AUTOCAL Selects the SEMI AUTOCAL procedure, which automatically sets the speaker distances and output levels, as well as performing system equalization adjustments. The cross-over points for each speaker must be manually set before this procedure can be run. See the next section, “Manual Speaker Set-Up”, for more information on how to set the cross-over points. Performing the Semi Autocal Procedure: In order to perform this test, the following initial setup is required: All of the speakers are connected to the RV-5 and positioned in the listening space. The cross-over points for each speaker are set through the MANUAL setup menu. See the following section, “Manual Speaker Setup”, for information on how to manually set the cross-over points. A monitor is connected to the RV-5 for viewing the OSD during the procedure. The microphone, included with the RV-5, must be connected to the rear panel Microphone input connector and positioned in the primary listening position. For best results, install the microphone onto the accompanying rod by threading the two parts together and hold or place it in the primary listening position. Use a microphone stand or tripod if necessary. The Semi Autocal procedure is performed in the same manner as the Full Autocal procedure. Refer to the “Performing the Full Autocal Procedure” for more details. CAUTION! DO NOT place the microphone too close to the speakers during the autocal procedure. If the microphone is within one foot of the speaker, the test tones that are output during the autocal procedure could cause a feedback loop which may damage the speaker. Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for speaker damage. SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPREAR AMP SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPMANUAL SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPSEMII AUTOCAL
RV-5Setup 3-7 FULL AUTOCAL Selects the FULL AUTOCAL procedure, which automatically sets the speaker distances, cross-over points, and output levels, as well as performing system equalization adjustments. Note: The Full or Semi Autocal settings that are saved to the Preset locations include the system equalization adjustment values. However, even if the Auto EQ setting is active, the autocal settings for the system EQ do NOT apply to certain high bit-rate incoming data streams, such as 176 kHz and 192 kHz PCM. Performing the AUTOCAL Procedure: Before beginning the AUTOCAL procedure, set the RV-5 to an input that does not have a currently active source. There should NOT be an active audio track playing when the AUTOCAL procedure is started. In order to perform this test, the following initial setup is required: All of the speakers are connected to the RV-5 and positioned in the listening space. A monitor is connected to the RV-5 for viewing the OSD during the procedure. The microphone, included with the RV-5, must be connected to the rear panel Microphone input connector and positioned in the primary listening position. Note: For best results, install the microphone onto the accompanying rod by threading the two parts together and hold or place it in the primary listening position. Use a microphone stand or tripod if necessary. CAUTION! DO NOT place the microphone too close to the speakers during the autocal procedure. If the microphone is within one foot of the speaker, the test tones that are output during the autocal procedure could cause a feedback loop which may damage the speaker. Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for speaker damage. The Full Autocal procedure is comprised of three parts, the Far Field Test, the Near Field Test, and the Subwoofer Test. Each part provides directions on the OSD at the start of the test, for volume level and microphone positioning, and each test sends test tones to the speakers. Note: Before activating the calibration, ensure that the RV-5 is NOT muted. If Mute is active, then the test tone calibrations will not be accurate. For the Far Field test, the test tones sent to each speaker follow a specific order. The order of testing is Front Left, Front Right, Center, Side Left, Side Right, Rear Left, and Rear Right. Note: The test tones may be loud. Be prepared before starting the Full or Semi Autocal procedures. The Far Field test sets the speaker distances, cross-over points, and output levels. The microphone is stationed in the center of the preferred listening area and a test tone is sent to each speaker. Note: If the Far Field test is skipped, the Near Field test must also be skipped. The Near Field test adjusts the RV-5, performing system equalization to compensate for speaker performance and placement. The procedure seeks to give the system a consistent tonal balance between the front left, front right, center, side left, side right, rear left, and rear right speakers, if applicable. The test calibrates each speaker separately, and the user individually selects each speaker to calibrate.SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPFULL AUTOCAL
SetupLexicon 3-8 The microphone should be held within two feet of the speaker baffle as a test tone is sent to the speaker. The Subwoofer test is done in two parts. The user is instructed to hold the microphone to the left of the primary listening position and then to the right of the primary listening position. Two test tones are sent out to all connected subwoofers during each of the two test phases. Two tones are sent to ensure that subwoofers with auto power settings are active during the procedure. Note: If there are no subwoofers in the system, then this test will not pass and must be skipped. For optimum results, all noise generators in the room should be removed before performing the full or semi autocal procedure. However, air conditioners and similar steady-state background noise should have minimum impact on the test and can be left on. When the procedure is complete, the user will be prompted to save the settings. These settings can be saved in one of three Preset locations. See Section 4: Audio Controls & Video Status for more information on the Preset locations. Note: When calibration is complete, the volume level is set to a relatively high level. Before playing an audio track, be sure to turn the volume down to avoid potentially offensive or damaging volume levels.
RV-5Setup 3-9 MANUAL SPEAKER SETUP Selecting the SETUP menu SPEAKER/EQ SETUP menu MANUAL option opens the MANUAL menu, which is used to manually set the speaker distances, cross-over points, and output levels. AUTO SETTINGSOFF, ON Loads the values from the active preset into the speaker cross-over points, distances, or output level parameters. The Speakers (cross-over points), Speaker Distances, and Output Levels menus all have an Auto Settings parameter. All three are the same parameter, but each affects the individual sub-menus separately and independently of each other. If the Auto Settings parameter is set to ON, the parameters in that menu cannot be manually changed until the Auto Settings parameter is set to OFF. Note: Any manual settings will be lost if the active preset settings are loaded; if Auto Settings is set to ON in the Speakers, Speaker Distances, or Output Levels menus, then previous parameter values will be overwritten.

SetupLexicon 3-10 SPEAKERS MENU Selecting the MANUAL SETUP menu SPEAKERS option opens the SPEAKERS menu, which assigns independent cross-over points for each Main Zone audio output connector. Front cross-over selections affect the Sub Mode parameter options. Manual Speaker Setup Considerations: Select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low frequency rating of the associated speakers. For example, set the FRONT L/R parameter to the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low-frequency rating of the front speakers. Select the subwoofer cross-over point equal to the lowest cross- over point of any of the other speakers. Manual Subwoofer Speaker Setup Considerations: All low frequencies below the speaker’s cross-over point are redirected from the speaker to the subwoofer(s). If the cross-over point is FULL, low-frequency signals, excluding LFE information, are not redirected to the subwoofer. Low frequencies between the Subwoofer and Front L/R speaker channels can be duplicated. However, making this selection can result in excessive bass. Refer to the “Sub Mode” description found later in this chapter for more information. Note: The Semi Autocal and Full Autocal procedures leave the Subwoofer distance value at a default of 0.0 feet. Refer to the “Speaker Distances” section found later in this chapter to manually set the correct Speaker Distance for the subwoofers. FRONT L/RFULL, 40 to 120HZ Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Front L/R. Available selectionsinclude FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments. Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the front speakers. Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low-frequency rating of the front speakers. CENTERFULL, 40 to 120HZ, NONE Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Center. Available selections include NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments. Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the center speaker. Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low-frequency rating of the center speaker. When the speaker setup does not include a center speaker, select NONE because some listening modes are not intended to be used without a center channel. SIDE L/RFULL, 40 to 120Hz, NONE Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Side L/R. Available selections include NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments. Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the Side L/R speakers. Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low-frequency rating of the Side L/R speakers. When the speaker setup does not include side speakers, select NONE to redirect side channel signals to the Front L/R output connectors. If the Rear/Z2 L/R parameter is also set to NONE, the RV-5 will redirect surround channel signals to the Front L/R output connectors. SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPMANUALSPEAKERS
RV-5Setup 3-11 REAR/Z2 L/RFULL, 40 to 120Hz, NONE Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled REAR/Z2 L/R. Available selections include NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments. Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the Rear/Zone2 L/R speakers. Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB low-frequency rating of the Rear/Zone2 L/R speakers. When the speaker setup does not include rear speakers, select NONE to redirect rear channel signals to the Side L/R output connectors. If the Side L/R parameter is also set to NONE, the RV-5 will redirect surround channel signals to the Front L/R output connectors. Note: When the Rear/Z2 L/R parameter is set to NONE, Dolby Digital PLIIx modes and DTS(-ES) decoding are not available. SUB/LFE LPF (LOW-PASS FILTER)40 to 120 Hz Identifies the cross-over frequency setting below which sounds that may be available from an LFE track are sent to the subwoofer. Available selections are 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz increments. SUBWOOFERS0, 1, 2 Selects the number of subwoofers in the system. Available selections are 0, 1, or 2. The 0 selection is only available if the Front Left & Right speakers are set to FULL. SUB HPF (HIGH-PASS FILTER)15, 20, 30, 38 Hz Identifies the cross-over frequency setting above which sounds are sent to the subwoofer. As a general rule of thumb, the larger the subwoofer driver, the lower the frequency should be of the Sub HPF parameter. The available selections are 15, 20, 30, and 38 Hz. SUB MODENORMAL, LFE+FL/FR, LFE ONLY Selects options that are available to control bass redirection. Available settings are NORMAL, LFE+FL/FR and LFE ONLY. NORMAL is the default setting when Front L/R cross-overs are set to any value other than FULL, and it is not user adjustable. In this mode, all frequencies below the cross-over point of any main speakers (Front, Center, Side, or Rear) are sent to the subwoofer. In addition, if the incoming audio stream contains an LFE (.1) channel, all frequencies in that channel which are below the SUB/LFE LPF cross- over point are also sent to the subwoofer(s). When the Front L/R cross-over is set to FULL, the user has the choice of LFE+FL/FR or LFE ONLY. The default setting, LFE+FL/FR, steers all Front L/R sounds below a fixed cross-over point of 80Hz to BOTH the subwoofer(s) and the Front L/R speakers. In addition, it redirects all frequencies below the cross-over points of the Center, Side, and Rear speakers to the subwoofer(s). Finally, if the incoming audio stream contains an LFE (.1) channel, all frequencies in that channel which are below the SUB/LFE LPF cross-over point are also sent to the subwoofer(s). The LFE ONLY setting does not send any sound to the subwoofer(s) other than the LFE (.1) channel, if available. SPEAKER DISTANCES MENU Selecting the MANUAL SETUP menu SPEAKER DISTANCES option opens the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu, which allows the user to manually set the distances for each speaker. The adjustable range is 0.0 ft (0.0 m) to 30.0 ft (9.00 m) at 0.2 ft (0.06 m) increments. SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPMANUALSPEAKER DISTANCES
SetupLexicon 3-12 The distances for each speaker - Front Left, Center, Front Right, Side Right, Rear Right, Rear Left, Side Left, and Subwoofers - can be set individually. Note: When the speaker distance for the Front Left speaker is adjusted above 20.0 feet from the shortest speaker distance, all speaker distances will move in conjunction from the 20.2-feet parameter point. When the Front Left speaker is adjusted to 20.2 feet, all other speaker distances that are set to 0 feet will now move to 0.2 feet. If the Front Left speaker distance is increased to 22 feet, all other speaker distances will move to 2 feet (unless they are set to a higher value). If the Front Left speaker distance is then decreased, all other speaker distances will not change. UNITSFEET, METERS Identifies the units of measure of the speaker distances. FEET and METERS are the available selections. OUTPUT LEVELS MENU Selecting the MANUAL SETUP menu OUTPUT LEVELS option opens the OUTPUT LEVELS menu, which allows the user to manually set the output levels for each speaker. The output levels can be set independently for each input. The adjustable range is -15 dB to +5 dB in 1 dB increments. The output levels for each speaker - Front Left, Center, Front Right, Side Right, Rear Right, Rear Left, Side Left, Subwoofer1, and Subwoofer2 - can be set individually. Note: The speaker output level settings may affect the maximum volume level of the RV-5 Receiver. The maximum volume level is +10 dB minus the maximum output level setting of any speaker. Thus, if your Front L/R output levels are set to +3.0 dB, then the maxium allowable volume level is +10 dB minus 3 dB, or +7.0 dB. INPUT Identifies the input that the currently displayed output levels will be applied to. The Input selection toggles between the currently selected front panel input and ALL. If the front panel input is selected, then only that input’s output levels are adjusted. Note: To set a specific input’s output levels, the input front panel button must be selected before the Input selection in the Output Levels menu is available for that specific input. The ALL selection functions as a virtual input – it holds values that can be assigned to all inputs. Each input can override the ALL value with its own custom settings. To assign the ALL input, it must be selected individually for each front panel input selection. Note: If the input is set to ALL and the auto settings are turned to ON, then ALL takes the preset values for its settings. The Auto Settings, if set to ON, apply to whatever INPUT is currenly selected. TEST TONEOFF, AUTO, MANUAL Provides a noise signal to each speaker through either the AUTO or MANUAL setting. AUTO sends a rotating noise signal to each speaker, in the order listed in the menu. If set to AUTO, the test tone moves in a clockwise order around the speakers, starting from the front left. MANUAL sends the pink noise signal only to the speaker selected by the user. The OFF selection turns off the noise signal. Any active input source is muted while the Test Tone parameter is active and until the Test Tone parameter is set to OFF. The available test tones are dependent upon the current listening mode. For example, if a 5.1 channel listening mode is active, then the rear speakers are not accessible to the Test Tone parameter. Note: Before activating the test tones, ensure that the RV-5 is NOT muted. If Mute is active, then the test tone calibrations will not be accurate.SETUPSPEAKER/EQ SETUPMANUALOUTPUT LEVELS

SetupLexicon 3-14 INPUT SETUP Selecting the SETUP menu INPUT SETUP option opens the INPUT SETUP menu, a two-screen menu which sets up the input type and name, the digital and analog inputs for both audio and video, the listening mode, and other advanced input settings. INPUT Selects between the twelve different inputs available. The input selected in this parameter identifies the input that is currently being setup or modified. Inputs can be scrolled through and modified without leaving the input setup menu. However, most input setup changes do not take affect until after the OSD menu is exited. Note: Selecting a different input in the input setup menu will also change the front panel input selection to match. For example, if the Tuner is selected on the front panel and you change the Input parameter to HD, the front panel HD input is also selected. Most of the inputs are interchangeable, with the exception of the Dock, PC, and Tuner inputs. These three inputs are “hard-wired” and do not allow for user selection of the Audio In parameters. For moreinformation on these three inputs, refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls. Note: When a source is active, changing some audio or video parameters may cause the Main Zone audio to briefly mute the incoming source. If Zone 2 is set to DOWN MIX, the Zone 2 audio will also briefly mute. NAME Allows the user to customize the name of the selected input. Custom input names can include up to eight characters. Note: A custom name cannot be assigned to the Tuner input.
