RF-1 RECEIVER OPTION

The optional RF-1 Receiver utilizes the RF feature of the Lexicon remote control, allowing you to control components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100-feet away. Since the RF-1 Receiver picks up the RV-5’s remote control radio frequency signal, the remote control no longer needs to be pointed directly at the components to control them. Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your components, and still control them with ease.

The RF-1 Receiver accessory requires no setup to the Lexicon remote control in order for the feature to work - you need only place the RF-1 Receiver in the rack or cabinet, or attach an emitter to the MV-5 front panel over the IR receiver. Every time a command is sent from the remote control, it sends both a standard IR and an RF signal. The RF-1 Receiver automatically receives the remote’s radio signals and translates them into the infrared commands that control the components.

D-1 iPOD DOCKING STATION OPTION

The optional D-1 iPod Docking station allows you to enter a new world of listening enjoyment made possible by combining the increased storage capacity and playback flexibility of an iPod® (not

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The MV-5 requires special care during installation to ensure optimal performance. Pay particular attention to the instructions below and to other precautions that appear throughout this user guide.

DO install the MV-5 on a solid, flat, level surface such as a table or

shelf.

DO select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.

DO NOT expose the MV-5 to high temperatures, humidity, steam,

smoke, dampness or excessive dust. Avoid installing the MV-5 near radiators or stacking the MV-5 over other heat-producing equipment such as a power amplifier.

DO NOT place the MV-5 on a thick rug or carpet, or cover the RV-5

with a cloth, as this might prevent proper cooling.

DO NOT place the MV-5 on a windowsill or any location exposed

to direct sunlight.

DO NOT obstruct the front panel IR receiver window. The remote

control must be in line of sight with the IR receiver for proper operation (unless using the optional RF-1 Receiver).

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 MV-5. When this occurs, replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed.

Note: The Remote Control will not lose any custom settings if the batteries run out. All custom settings are stored in non-volatile FLASH memory.

To replace the remote control batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Press the tab and lift the cover away from the remote control.

2. Remove old batteries, if applicable.

3. Observing the proper polarity, insert four AAA batteries.

4. Align the cover over the battery compartment and gently press down until it snaps back into place.

5. Properly dispose of the old batteries.

DO NOT install the MV-5 on a surface that is unstable or unable to

support all four feet.

CAUTION!

Before moving the MV-5, power the unit off using the rear panel power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

The PC & Dock inputs are the only “hard-wired” inputs in the MV-5 Processor. Unlike the other inputs, both have very specific audio-only functionality.

The PC input is tied to the USB input on the rear panel and is for use with media player software on a connected PC computer. The Dock input is for use with the optional D-1 Dock accessory and is tied to the DOCK input on the rear panel. This input is only for use with iPod players.

While both of these inputs have devoted Remote Control menu controls, there are NO front panel controls for use with the PC and DOCK inputs.

For more information about the PC & Dock operation, refer to Section 5: PC & Dock Controls.

REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

The MV-5 Processor remote control provides full operation of the MV-5 including commands, such as menu navigation, that are not available from the front panel. It is also designed to provide control for the entire home theater system. This section provides a brief overview of the remote control functions used to control the MV-5 Processor. For detailed universal remote control operation, programming instructions, and manufacturing codes, refer to Appendix C.

OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following factors can improve or impede remote control operation.

Note the following before operating the MV-5 remote control:

• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front panel IR receiver (unless using the optional RF-1 Receiver). Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the IR receiver. The remote control may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the MV-5 IR receiver.

• For optimal performance, position the remote control within a 30-degree angle no more than 40 to 60 feet (12.2m to 18.3m) from the MV-5. Placing the MV-5 inside a smoked glass cabinet will reduce the remote control range.

• Remote controls for different components can interfere with one another. Avoid using remote controls for different components at the same time.

• To control the MV-5, the touch screen of the remote control must be in the “LEX” or “ZONE 2” menu layers. The Volume +/

- and Mute controls, however, are always active, regardless of the active menu layer. The remote control ships from the factory set to the “MAIN” menu layer.

MV-5 Basic Operation

MV-5 MENU OVERVIEW

When the remote control touch screen is in the “LEX” or “ZONE 2” menu layers, pressing MENU or SELECT on the MV-5 remote control accesses the menu controls for the MV-5 Processor. The MAIN MENU is the root directory of the MV-5 menu structure and has three branches: AUDIO CONTROLS, VIDEO STATUS, and SETUP.

Note: The DVD menu layer of the touch screen controls the Lexicon RT-20 and RT-10, if installed.

The AUDIO CONTROLS menu controls the audio-specific parameters, such as treble and bass, as well as providing an audio status menu. Refer to Section 4: Audio Controls & Video Status for more information.

The VIDEO STATUS menu is an information-only menu identifying the current video status of the MV-5 Processor. For more information, refer to Section 4: Audio Controls & Video Status.

The SETUP menu controls all aspects of setting up the MV-5 Processor. Refer to Section 3: Setup for more information.

Navigation Functions

(for “LEX” and “ZONE2” menu layers)

When a menu is open, press the remote control  arrow to select the highlighted menu parameter. The menu parameter will blink to indicate that it is selected.

When a menu is open, press the  arrow to close the current menu and, in most cases, open the previous menu. Subsequent presses continue to close the current menu and open the previous menu until the MAIN MENU is closed.

When a menu is open, press the  and  arrow buttons to scroll upward and downward through the complete list of menu parameters. The highlighted menu item appears in the front panel display. All menu items appear in the OSD. The cursor automatically wraps to the next menu parameter when the first or last menu item is passed.

The MV-5 menu structure can be viewed on the OSD (On-Screen Display), which is a 480i or 480p video output signal to your monitor, or on the front panel 2-line display, which displays the menus one line at a time using the remote control navigation controls. The front panel 2-line display can also be viewed on the OSD, in 480i resolution only.

Note: When the MV-5 menu structure is entered, most front panel buttons and the remote control buttons are disabled until the menu structure is exited. The exceptions are the Volume Knob and Standby Button on the front panel and the remote control Volume, Mute, and OFF buttons. Note also that the disabled condition of the remote control only affects the “LEX” and “ZONE 2” menu layers.

SPEAKER/EQ SETUP MANUAL

SEMI AUTOCAL

SETUP

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 MV-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 MV-5 for viewing the OSD during the procedure.

• The microphone, included with the MV-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.

SPEAKER/EQ SETUP SEMII AUTOCAL

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.

FULL AUTOCAL

SETUP

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 MV-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 MV-5 and positioned in the listening space.

SPEAKER/EQ SETUP FULL AUTOCAL

MV-5 Setup

• A monitor is connected to the MV-5 for viewing the OSD during the procedure.

• The microphone, included with the MV-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!

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.

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 MV-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. 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.

Note: Before activating the calibration, ensure that the MV-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.

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.

MV-5 Setup

SPEAKERS MENU

SETUP

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 crossover 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.

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.

SUBWOOFERS 0, 1, 2

SUB MODE NORMAL, 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 crossover 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.

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.

SPEAKER DISTANCES

MV-5 Setup

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.

UNITS FEET, METERS

Identifies the units of measure of the speaker distances. FEET and METERS are the available selections.

OUTPUT LEVELS MENU

SETUP

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 MV-5 Processor. 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.

SPEAKER/EQ SETUP MANUAL

OUTPUT LEVELS

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 TONE OFF, 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 MV-5 is NOT muted. If Mute is active, then the test tone calibrations will not be accurate.

V-PROCESS FAROUDJA, CONV ONLY, BYPASS

INPUT SETUPSETUP

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.

V-PROCESS

3-14

MV-5 Setup

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) is

output only in the resolution and format that matches the input.

• HDMI signals are output through the HDMI and analog

component outputs. Program material that carries HDCP encoding is only available through the HDMI output.

VIDEO OUT

INPUT SETUPSETUP

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.

VIDEO OUT

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.

INPUT SETUPSETUP

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 Dock and PC inputs. Refer to Section 5: PC and Dock Controls for more information.

ANLG AUDIO

DIG/ANLG AUTO OFF, ON

INPUT SETUPSETUP

Selects the DIG/ANLG AUTO parameter, which identifies if the MV-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.

DIG/ANLG AUTO

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 MV-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 Dock and PC inputs. Refer to Section 5: PC and Dock Controls for more information.

DEFAULT SUR STANDARD, USE LAST

INPUT SETUPSETUP

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 MV-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.

DEFAULT SUR

A/D SAMPLE RATE 48 KHZ, 96 KHZ

INPUT SETUPSETUP

The MV-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.

TRIGGER 2 OFF, ON

INPUT SETUPSETUP

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.

TRIGGER 2

ZONE-2 OUT ANALOG, DOWN MIX

INPUT SETUPSETUP

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.

ZONE-2 OUT

3-17

Setup Lexicon

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 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 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 PC & Dock inputs operate independently of all other inputs...

• Either may be selected in Zone 2 regardless of what is playing in the Main Zone.

• Any combination of these two inputs can be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2, including selecting either of them for both Zones simultaneously.

• If either of these inputs is playing in the Main Zone, the other ANALOG input can be chosen for Zone 2.

• 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.

LISTENING MODES

The MV-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 MV-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 MV-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 of the remote control switches the Mode button selections to any listening modes available for each of those families, respectively.

DTS 5.1

DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete

A proprietary Lexicon technology, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs 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 specifically 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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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 effec

When 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.

These 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.

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 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.

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.

This 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 MV-5 has been configured for 6.1-/7.1-channel operation, both of these options are available for selection. If the MV-5 has been configured for 5.1-channel operation, only the 5-Channel Stereo option is available.

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.

This 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.

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 MV-5 8-channel direct inputs are in use. We recommend you use these listening modes under the following conditions:

• 5.1 BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the Surround Back 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 Surround Back L/R inputs are NOT 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. This mode also mutes the unusued input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance.

• 7.1 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 MV-5 is configured to a surround system, the following status indicators may be displayed to indicate the state of the incoming source:

• ES-ON: Indicates when an encoded 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.

•EX-ON: Indicates when Dolby Surround 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.

MV-5 Setup

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.

PC & DOCK OVERVIEW

Unlike the other ten inputs of the MV-5 Processor, the PC and Dock inputs are NOT interchangeable. These two inputs have specific audio-only functionality that is exclusive to these individual inputs.

The PC input is tied to the USB jack on the rear panel and is only for use with media software on a computer. The Dock input is tied to the DOCK connector on the rear panel and is only for use with iPod players that are connected to the DOCK input via the optional D-1 Dock accessory. The Dock controls and features are discussed in later sections of this chapter.

While both of these inputs have devoted touch screen menu controls using the remote control, there are NO front panel controls for use with the DOCK or PC inputs.

Note: The audio input for the PC and Dock inputs is not user-adjustable. However, the video input for these two inputs can be set to any of the available rear panel video inputs and are as fully customizable as any of the other ten inputs.

In addition to these Main Zone differences, the PC and DOCK inputs also behave differently in Zone 2 operation. Unlike the other inputs, the PC and DOCK inputs in Zone 2 operate independently of both each other and the other ten inputs, regardless of what is playing in the Main Zone. Any combination of these two inputs may be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2, including the selection of one input playing simultaneously in both Zones. In addition, if one of these inputs is playing in the Main Zone, you can freely choose any other Analog input in Zone 2.

PC CONTROLS

The MV-5 is capable of direct connection to a computer for audio playback. Once connected, playback of audio streams from a computer are possible through your MV-5 Processor, with all the power and performance of your own speakers and the enhanced multi-channel playback made possible through the use of Logic 7, Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx, or DTS Neo:6 processing.

SETTING UP TO PLAY

The MV-5 Processor connects to a PC-compatible computer through the USB jack on the rear panel. Connect one of the available USB jacks on your computer to the USB jack on the MV-5 rear panel using a cable with one standard USB connector and one USB “Mini B” connector. Only the PC input can be used with computer media players.

Note: The PC Input setup displays Digital Audio as USB, Analog Audio as NONE, and the Dig/Anlg Auto parameter is dashed out. These three parameters cannot be changed for the PC Input.

The MV-5 may be used with PC-compatible computers running Microsoft Windows 2000

Vista

, Windows XP®, or Windows XP Media Center Edition with Service Pack 1 or higher installed. In addition, you will need to have a media player installed on the computer. The MV-5 has been

tested for operation with Windows Media Player above, but it is also compatible with many other popular players

such as iTunes have the latest version of the player installed to ensure the best compatibility and performance.

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.

DOCK FUNCTIONALITY

The optional D-1 iPod Docking Station allows you to enter a new world of listening enjoyment made possible by combining the storage capacity and playback flexibility of an iPod® (not included) with the sonic power of your MV-5 Processor. Operation is easy, you can use your MV-5 remote control to access and control your iPod selections. Just one simple connection and you’re ready to go!

Note: This functionality is ONLY available if you have purchased the optional D-1 iPod Docking Station. Refer to Section 1: Getting Started for ordering details.

CONNECTING THE DOCK TO THE MV-5

Before connecting the Dock, turn the MV-5 off using either the main power switch or the Standby button.

With the MV-5 off, press the button on each side of the connector at the end of the Dock cable and insert this plug into the DOCK connector on the rear panel of the MV-5. The connector is keyed to only connect in one way. If you inadvertently try to plug the connector in the wrong way, do not force it. Simply invert the connector and try again.

Once the DOCK connector is attached to the D-1 Dock accessory, select the DOCK input. The MV-5 front panel 2-line front panel display indicates that the input is “UNPLUGGED...”. The status remains as “UNPLUGGED” until an iPod is actually docked.

Note: The DOCK Input setup displays Digital Audio as NONE, Analog Audio as DOCK (or “UNPLUGGED” if there is no iPod connected to the MV-5), and the Dig/Anlg Auto parameter is dashed out. These three parameters cannot be changed for the DOCK Input.

When the iPod is initially plugged into the MV-5, the iPod goes to the top of its music menu. When the iPod is removed, the iPod menu goes to the root menu.

If the MV-5 is in Standby mode with the DOCK AUTO POWER parameter set to ON and the iPod currently playing a track when it is plugged into the Dock, the track will continue to play and the 2-line front panel display will show the current track information.

SELECTING THE CORRECT iPOD INSERT

Each iPod model is a slightly different size, making it necessary to use an insert that matches your specific iPod to the Dock. The Dock is shipped with the insert for the color screen and photo models already installed; if you own one of those models, no further changes are necessary.

Press buttons when inserting or removing the plug.

5-4

If you own a different iPod, first select the insert that matches your model. The model identification is printed on the back of each of the four extra inserts supplied with the Dock.

Note: The iPod Shuffle is not supported by the optional D-1 iPod Docking Station.

MV-5 PC & Dock Controls

To remove the factory installed insert, hold the Dock with one hand as you grab the edges of the insert in the Dock with your other hand, then pull straight up. Use the following as a guide to determine which insert is correct for your iPod model:

• For any iPod with a color screen, including all iPod photo models, use the insert with “COLOR/PHOTO” on the back. This insert is already installed in the Dock at the factory.

• For 20GB or 30GB iPod photo models only, remove the insert marked “COLOR/PHOTO” and attach the two included foam pads to the rear inside wall in the well of the insert before replacing it.

• For iPods with a black & white screen and a 10GB, 15GB, or 20GB hard drive, use the insert with “10GB/15GB” on the back.

• For iPods with a black & white screen and a 30GB or 40GB hard drive, use the insert with “30GB/40GB” on the back.

• Use the insert with “mini” on the back for all iPod mini models.

• Use the insert with “Universal” on the back for iPod models that come with a special insert.

Once you have selected the correct insert, place it over the well in the center of the Dock and gently press it down so that it snaps into place.

Note: Do not place an iPod in the Dock unless an insert is installed; otherwise the iPod will not connect properly and damage may occur to the Dock and/or your iPod that is not covered by the warranty for either product.

DOCKING THE iPOD

After placing the appropriate insert in the center well of the Dock and connecting the Dock to your receiver, dock your iPod by placing it into the insert, gently pressing it down until the connectors mate between the iPod and the Dock.

Note: If you normally keep your iPod in a protective case, or “skin”, you will need to remove it before docking your iPod.

When the iPod is plugged into the Dock, the iPod navigation controls are no longer accessible and the iPod screen will read “Connected and ready to be unplugged“.

DOCK 2-LINE DISPLAY CHARACTERISTICS

When the DOCK input is selected, the 2-line front panel display changes so that the left side of the display reflects the current iPod information. Initially, the 2-line display on the MV-5 displays “Menu” on the left side of the top line. “Playlists” and the number of playlists available are displayed on the left side of the bottom line. The ANLG signal type is identified on the top right side and the current volume setting of the MV-5 is identified on the bottom right side of the display, as shown:

TROUBLESHOOTING

The MV-5 does not power on.

1. Make sure the rear panel power switch is set to the ON position.

2. Attempt to power on the MV-5 with the front panel Standby button and remote control ON button.

3. Examine the power cord to ensure a good connection between the rear panel AC input connector and the wall outlet.

4. Check the electrical circuit and breaker.

The remote control does not work.

1. Make sure that the remote control touch screen is in the “LEX” or “Zone 2” menu layers. The remote control is a universal control designed to operate all of the home theater equipment in your system. In order to control the MV-5, the remote control must be in the “LEX” or “Zone 2” menu layers.

2. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the front panel IR receiver. When the rear panel IR IN connector is not in use, the remote control must be in line of sight with the front panel IR receiver for proper operation. The remote control might also become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the MV-5’s IR receiver.

3. Make sure the remote control batteries are correctly inserted with the proper polarity.

The MV-5 is powered on, but there is no audio.

1. Make sure that the source device is powered on, playing audio, and set to the right output connector.

2. Make sure the volume level is audible. Volume level can be adjusted with the front panel volume knob or the remote control VOL  and  buttons.

3. Make sure the audio has not been muted. The message “MUTE ON” is displayed on the on-screen and front panel displays when audio has been muted in the Main Zone. In addition, the MUTE button on the front panel lights red when the Main Zone mute is active and green when the Zone 2 mute is active. If both Zones are muted, the Mute button lights amber. To deactivate mute, press the MUTE button or adjust the volume level.

4. Verify that all rear panel input and output connections are correct.

5. Check the INPUT SETUP menu DIG AUDIO and ANLG AUDIO parameters to ensure the appropriate audio connector is assigned to the selected input.

6. Verify that the incoming audio signal is compatible with the input chosen.

Note: The rear panel input connectors marked S/PDIF INPUTS (RCA & TOSLINK connectors) are not compatible with MP3 sources.

The Subwoofer(s) distorts frequently.

4. Replace the remote control batteries. When the batteries are low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition that prevents it from operating the MV-5.

5. If using the optional RF-1 Receiver, ensure that it is properly connected to the MV-5 rear panel.

6-2

The likely cause for the subwoofer(s) to distort is either an incorrectly set output level or the subwoofer high-pass filter is set too low. Verify that the SUB/LFE LPF setting (subwoofer cross-over point) is set correctly. If correct, try setting the SUB HPF setting to a higher value to resolve the issue. Refer to Section 3: Setup for more information.

MV-5 Troubleshooting & Maintenance

A humming sound is present in the audio.

1. If a cable TV connection is present, disconnect the cable from

the wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, a ground loop isolation device is required. Contact your dealer or cable provider for assistance.

2. Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem.

Once the problem is identified, make sure the associated component is properly grounded and connected to the same electrical circuit as the MV-5 Processor.

RF interference is present in the audio or video.

1. Make sure the MV-5 is not positioned too close to RF-emitting

devices.

2. Move such items one at a time to isolate which device is

causing the problem.

3. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables wherever

possible.

Audio sounds distorted when using analog audio inputs.

The likely cause for distorted audio while using the analog audio inputs is that the input voltage is too high. The MV-5 analog inputs have a maximum rating of 2 Vrms. Any input voltages higher than this limit will exhibit audible distortion.

In the SEMI AUTOCAL Test, the Far Field Test keeps failing.

1. Ensure that the microphone is placed in your preferred seating location.

2. Ensure that the volume is set to -20dB.

3. In the Speakers Menu, ensure that none of the speakers connected to the system have a cross-over selection of NONE.

During the Far Field Test, test tones are sent to ALL speaker locations, regardless of the settings identified in the Speakers menu. Therefore, every speaker that is plugged in MUST have a cross-over setting other than NONE for the Far Field test to be successul. If a cross-over is set to NONE but the speaker is plugged in, the test will fail because it will “see” a speaker that is identified as having no cross-over point.

4. Refer to the “AUTOCAL Error Messages” section found later in this chapter for more information about specific error messages related to the AUTOCAL process.

The volume won’t go to the +10 dB maximum level.

The speaker output level settings may affect the maximum volume level of the MV-5 Processor. 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 dB, the maxium allowable volume level is +10 dB minus 3 dB, or +7 dB.

To correct the problem, reduce the analog audio output from the connected device using the volume or level control. If neither is available, an intermediate device may be required. Contact your Lexicon dealer for assistance.

The picture on the video monitor is all one color.

This is a synchonization problem when using HDMI. When the source device and video monitor do not sync correctly, the color spacing may not load correctly. When the monitor color is all red, or all green, it means that only half of the color spacing data was loaded into the video monitor.

To correct the problem, simply enter the OSD menu and then exit out again. This will resync the video and should clear the error.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Lexicon

The MV-5 is powered on, but there is no video.

1. Examine the video cables – particularly the S-Video cables – to ensure a good connection to the associated component.

2. Check the INPUT SETUP menu VIDEO IN parameter to ensure the appropriate video connector is assigned to the selected input.

3. Set the V-PROCESS parameter to BYPASS. This setting doesn’t apply any video processing and outputs the signal in the same resolution and format as the incoming signal.

4. Refer to the “Video Error Messages” section found later in this chapter for more information about specific video-related error messages.

5. Verify that the selected output is not analog with a HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) input source. Source material that carries HDCP encoding is only available through the HDMI output. No video is output on the analog output connectors.

6. Verify that the input type selected on the video monitor matches the selected output on the MV-5.

Video is shifted to the left.

When the MV-5 has both component and HDMI cables connected to a video monitor with the Faroudja processing active, the Faroudja processing may cause the video to shift to the left when the component output is selected, particularly at higher resolution settings.

To correct the issue, change the Display CONNECTION parameter from HDMI/DVI to ANALOG, or unplug the HDMI cable.

2. Use the  or  cursors to highlight SETUP and then press the  cursor, or press the SELECT button, to select the menu option.

3. Using the cursors, highlight and select DISPLAY SETUP.

4. Then select CONNECTION. The parameter selection starts to flash.

5. Use the  or  cursors to select ANALOG and then press the  cursor to save the selection.

6. Press EXIT to close the OSD menu.

The MV-5 is exhibiting erratic behavior.

1. Change to a different input, then return to the original input. This may clear the discrepency.

2. Put the MV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take the MV-5 out of Standby mode.

3. Set the rear panel power switch of the MV-5 to the OFF position. Wait 10 seconds. Then set the rear panel power switch to the ON position.

4. With the MV-5’s rear panel power switch set to OFF, power-cycle all other devices that are connected to the MV-5, such as DVD & CD players, projectors, and monitors. When finished, restore power to the MV-5 by setting the rear panel power switch to the ON position and then taking the MV-5 out of Standby mode.

5. If the steps above do not resolve the behavior, document all user-defined settings on the Installation Worksheet that begins on page D-2. Then, follow the instructions found later in this chapter to restore factory default settings.

To change the CONNECTION parameter:

1. Enter the OSD menu by pressing MENU on the remote control.

MV-5 Troubleshooting & Maintenance

VIDEO IN is set to NONE, but the monitor has a video error, or is showing a blue screen.

When the VIDEO IN parameter is set to NONE, the MV-5 outputs a blue screen at 480i resolution. This blue screen cannot be disabled. If the monitor does not support 480i resolution, the monitor may display an error message.

Note: This condition can also exist when the VIDEO IN parameter has been setup, but there is no active incoming signal.

The 2-line OSD display does not appear on the video monitor.

• Verify that the 2-line OSD parameter under the Setup -> Display Setup -> On-Screen Display menu is not set to OFF.

• Verify the video input source. The 2-line OSD is supported only at 480i and 576i resolutions when the incoming video source is digital.

While using HDMI connections, the video monitor is behaving oddly.

Connecting together all the components of your home theater system with HDMI depends upon every piece of equipment functioning in synchronization. If the timing of any one piece is out of sync, then odd results can occur. For example, an out-of-sync source might cause incorrect colors to appear on the screen, or to shift all of the video to the left or towards the top of the screen. If the video monitor sync is off, it might load the color spacing incorrectly so that the screen appears to be all one color, instead of displaying normal color. In short, an out-of-sync signal can cause a number of very odd results.

sync issues don’t need a power cycle to re-sync correctly. We suggest that you try the following:

1. Enter the OSD menu and then exit out again. This will resync the video.

2. Put the MV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take the MV-5 out of Standby mode.

3. Power cycle the MV-5 by turning off the rear panel power switch, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn the rear panel power switch to the ON position.

The MV-5 is connected via USB to the PC but the computer is playing with the sound card, not the MV-5.

This condition may exist if the media player was already active when the USB cable was connected between the computer and the MV-5 Processor. With the media player actively playing, it may not “see” the USB connection. Close the media player, check the cable connections, and then launch the media player again. Now it should see the USB connection and switch control to the MV-5.

To correct the problem, the system needs to resync, which should clear the error. Some out-of-sync issues are easier to clear than others. Typically, power cycling the MV-5 will clear it, but some

The MV-5 Processor is designed to allow flexibility in the selection of video output resolutions. However, there are restrictions on what resolutions can be made available due to incoming signal limitations.

If you are not getting the expected resolution options for your video monitor, it is possible that there is an incompatability between the input setup selections and the incoming signal. The table below describes those formats that are possible, given a specific input source and input setup conditions.

Notes:

video output must be either 480i or 480p resolution. If the output resolution setting has a value that is higher than 480p resolution, then no analog signal is output.

3. If the HDMI is not connected when the incoming signal is a Macrovision protected analog video, then the VIDEO OUT parameter changes automatically to 480p resolution and only component video is output.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Lexicon

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The bulleted items below describe routine maintenance that should be performed on a periodic basis.

• Clean the MV-5 exterior surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do

not use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners or strong commercial cleaners. Do not use a cloth made with steel wool or metal polish. If the MV-5 is exposed to a dusty environment, a low-pressure blower can be used to remove dust from its exterior surface.

• Replace the remote control batteries as needed. The remote

control requires four AAA batteries. When these batteries are low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition that prevents it from operating the MV-5. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed.

Note: The Remote Control will not lose any custom settings if the batteries run out. All custom settings are stored in non-volatile FLASH memory.

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS

It is possible to reset the MV-5 Processor to its factory settings. However, doing so will permanently delete any user-defined or manually-entered settings, including parameters such as speaker setup changes and input names.

Before performing a factory reset, be sure to use the worksheets in Appendix D to record all of the input and setup information. The factory reset WILL delete all custom settings except for the saved EQ Presets.

To restore the factory default settings:

1. Record all parameters and user-defined settings on the Installation Worksheet that begins on page D-2.

2. Put the MV-5 into Standby.

3. Press and hold the MUTE and ST/MON buttons at the same time.

After several seconds, the MV-5 will turn on. The front panel display will state “RESET” and then it will return to the normal display. All parameters and user-defined values will now reflect the factory default settings, with the exception of any saved EQ Presets.

Note: If you want to save your settings before restoring the factory defaults, you must record them manually. The Installation Worksheet in Appendix D has been provided to assist you.

REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING

The MV-5 remote control is a very powerful and flexible pre-programmed and learning remote control, designed to be the universal controller of your home theater system.

The MV-5 remote control can operate up to 14 home entertainment and home automation components by using the remote control’s pre-programmed code library, or by letting the remote control “learn” from another remote, one button at a time. The MV-5 remote control has many additional operating features to add convenience and enjoyment to the operation of any home entertainment system. You can create your own button labels on the LCD screen; program forty favorite channel buttons; operate the volume, channel and transport buttons from one device when you are controlling another device; and perform multiple tasks with the press of a single button.

The MV-5 remote control features extensive pre-programmed IR codes for practically all major audio and video equipment. It can set up and operate various components by simply entering a 3-digit code.

REMOTE CONTROL LIGHT BUTTON

The remote control is fully back lit, making it easy to use in low lighting conditions. Press the LIGHT button on the right side of the remote to back light all of the keypad buttons and the LCD touch screen. To turn off the back light, press the LIGHT button again or just stop pushing buttons. Ten seconds after the last button or touch screen selection, the back light automatically shuts off.

TRANSMITTING ICON

When a command is transmitted by the remote control, a transmit icon appears in the top right corner of the LCD touch screen. This indicates that a signal is being sent by the remote control.

MV-5 Appendix C

SETTING UP THE REMOTE CONTROL

The MV-5 remote control can be set up so that it controls all of the components of your home entertainment system, making remote access simple and efficient. There are two ways to set up the remote control:

• Pre-programmed Codes - Allows you to set up all of the buttons at once, by entering the pre-programmed 3-digit codes of the component manufacturers.

• Button Learning - Allows you to transfer functions from other remotes, both old and new, one button at a time.

Of the two methods, the pre-programmed codes method is the fastest, since all functions are programmed at the same time. However, it’s possible that a 3-digit code may not be available for your component. We recommend that you start with the pre-programmed code method and then perform the button learning method as necessary.

Pre-Programming Your Remote Control:

Follow the steps below to set up your MV-5 remote control using the pre-programmed manufacturers’ codes.

The pre-programmed 3-digit codes for each component and manufacturer can be found at the back of this Appendix. The codes are listed by Component Category, such as TV, VCR, and DVD; then by brand name, such as Lexicon and Samsung.

1. Find the code listing for the component that you want to set up in the Pre-Programmed Codes library, found later in this chapter. If there is more than one code, be sure to note all of them as your component will only fully respond to one of them, so you may have to try multiple codes.

Note: 305 is the factory default setting for the Lexicon RT-20 Universal Disc Player.

2. Turn on the component that you want to setup for remote control.

3. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.

NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to perform the next step while the remote is in the Setup mode. If a button is not pressed within 30 seconds, the SETUP menu name will revert to MAIN, indicating that the remote control is no longer in Setup mode. If this occurs, you will need to repeat this step to re-enter the Setup mode.

4. Touch the P-PRO option to select the Pre-Programmed Method. The menu name changes to “P-PRO” and the menu options area now contains seven component options.

Note: While in the Setup mode, the MAIN button acts as an escape button. Each time the MAIN button is pushed, it will back out of one menu layer.

5. Select the component that you want to program. If the component you wish to setup is not on this page, touch the menu page  arrow to select from the components on page 2.

Once a selection is made, the bottom of the screen flashes “FROM TABLE”.

6. Confirm your component selection by pressing the button again for the type of component you want to program.

Note: This step is necessary because the selection may not be the same for Steps 5 and 6. For example, if you are setting up the SAT option to be a second TV, then the first press in Step 5 would have been SAT and the second press in Step 6 would then be TV.

7. Point the remote control at the component you want to program and enter the first of the 3-digit manufacturer’s codes using the number keypad on the remote.

If the 3-digit code that you entered is the correct one, the component will turn off. If the component does not turn off, continue entering code numbers from your list until the component turns off.

C-3

Appendix C Lexicon

Note: The DOWN and UP buttons on the touch screen can be used to scroll the code number one digit at a time. If you hold your finger over the UP or DOWN button, the code number will scroll until your finger is removed.

8. When the component turns off, press the ON button on the remote to turn the component back on. Test several functions to ensure that the component responds correctly to the remote commands. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you may not have the right code - enter the next code option on your list until you find the best match for the component.

Note: If you are unable to find a code that will accurately control your component, then you’ll need to use the Button Learning procedure, which follows this procedure, to program the component.

9. Once you’ve found the right code, touch the SAVE option on the touch screen. The screen will blink “SAVED” two times, indicating that the code has been successfully saved.

10. Exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area. The remote control is in normal operation mode again.

11. Repeat Steps 1 through 10 to program all other components in your home theater system. For any components that do not have a valid 3-digit code, continue to the Button Learning procedure to program those components.

Recalling Pre-Programmed Setup Code Numbers:

In case you didn’t write down the pre-programmed code numbers that you used when you set up your Lexicon remote controls, these 3-digit manufacturers’ numbers can be recalled. Perform the following procedure to recall the pre-programmed 3-digit code for any component.

displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.

2. Touch the RECAL option. The touch screen now shows a four-page menu that lists each component name and the 3-digit code that was assigned to it.

3. Write down the code number for each component for future reference. Appendix D of this manual provides a convenient table for you to record the 3-digit pre-programmed code numbers.

4. Exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area. The remote control is in normal operation mode again.

Button Learning Procedure For Your Remote Control:

Follow the steps below to set up your MV-5 remote control using the Button Learning procedure. The MV-5 remote control can “learn” commands from other remote controls, both old and new, one button at a time. Follow the steps below to allow your MV-5 remote control to learn the button commands from other remote controls in your home theater system.

Note: We recommend that you use this procedure only after you’ve determined that no 3-digit manufacturers’ codes exist for the component in question.

1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is

C-4

MV-5 Appendix C

1. Line up the MV-5 remote control with the other remote control,

head-to-head, one or two inches apart.

2. On the MV-5 remote control, press and hold the MAIN and ENT

(Enter) buttons at the same time. After about 3 seconds, “SETUP” is displayed in the Menu name area at the top of the LCD touch screen. This is the Setup mode of the remote control.

3. Touch the LEARN option to select the Button Learning Method.

The menu name changes to “LEARN” and the menu options area now contains seven component options. The bottom of the screen flashes “SELECT”.

4. Select the component that you want to program. If the

component you wish to setup is not on this page, touch the menu page  arrow to select from the components on page 2.

Once a selection is made, the menu name changes to the selected component name.

If you want to teach any command to a component button on the MV-5 remote control, press the component button when the menu name says “LEARN”. The menu name will change to “READY” and the menu page area indicates the button that you pressed. If you pressed the wrong button, press the MAIN button to return to the Setup menu where you can start again (return to Step 3). Once “READY” is displayed, skip ahead to Step 6.

5. Select the component option that you want to teach the

command to - everything except for the MAIN button and the

menu page arrows can be taught. The menu name will change to “READY” and the menu page area indicates the button that you pressed.

6. Press and hold the button on the other remote control that you want to teach to the MV-5 remote. When the menu name on the touch screen of the MV-5 remote control changes to “GOOD” or “FAILD”, release the button.

If “GOOD” is displayed, the bottom of the screen flashes “SAVED”. The learning procedure is complete and was successful.

If “FAILD” is displayed, try teaching the same button once again by repeating Steps 5 & 6.

7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 to teach the MV-5 remote control any additional button commands from the component’s remote. To return to Step 4, press the MAIN button once.

8. When you are done teaching the Lexicon remote control, exit the Setup mode by pressing the MAIN button until the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area. The remote control is in normal operation mode again.

Test all your new commands. If any of them don’t work, try the button learning procedure again, keeping in mind the following suggestions:

• Move to another room. Plasma TVs, sunlight, halogen, or

quartz lighting can interfere with the learning process.

• Even though the old remote seems to be working fine,

replace the current batteries with fresh alkaline batteries.

• Gradually vary the distance between the remote controls.

Try 1-inch, 2-inches, and so on up to 4-feet.

• Try tapping the button on your old remote instead of just

pressing and holding it during the learning process.

The following list provides additional information regarding the button learning procedure and how the MV-5 remote control behaves when taught.

C-5

Appendix C Lexicon

• Learned functions override any existing pre-programmed functions on the remote control.

• All buttons can be taught except for the menu page arrows, MAIN button, and LIGHT button on the side of the remote.

• Learned functions are automatically erased when a new function is learned on the same button.

• Learned functions are retained even after a different pre-programmed 3-digit manufacterer’s code is entered and saved to the remote.

• To return to an original pre-programmed function, the learned function must be erased.

LOCK FEATURE

The MV-5 remote control has a locking feature, which prevents unauthorized use of the remote control. When the locking feature is active, all operations of the remote control are blocked. This feature can be used as a “child-lock” to prevent children from having unmonitored access to the home theater system.

To Activate the Lock Feature:

Press and hold the +10 and ENT (Enter) buttons at the same time. After 3 seconds, the bottom of the touch screen will blink “LOCKED” three times and then “LOCKED” will remain displayed. The Lock is now active.

ADVANCED CUSTOMIZING TOOLS

Once the basic setup to your remote is complete, you can use the advanced features to further customize your MV-5 remote control. The advanced customizing tools include:

• back light Options - Customize the back light feature to suit your preferences.

• Touch Screen - Customize the displayed text for each device menu on the LCD touch screen.

• Favorite Channels - Set up your favorite channel list. Once this list is set up, up to 40 favorite channels can be selected by the press of a button - all without needing to remember or type in a channel number.
