AVAILABLE OPTIONS

The following accessories are available for purchase as options to the MV-5 Processor:

•D-1 iPod Docking Station, Part No. 021-18138, allows an iPod to be connected and controlled by the MV-5 Processor.

•RF-1 Receiver, Part No. 021-18005, allows the remote control to operate via RF (Radio Frequency), giving the remote a broader operating range.

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

included) with the sonic power of your Lexicon Processor. Just one simple connection and you’re ready to go!

•Single connection to your Lexicon Processor

•Plays audio from an iPod through your Lexicon Processor

•Controls your iPod through your Lexicon Processor

•Simple track selection with on-screen navigation

•Charges the iPod

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

•Remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.

•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.

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.

MENU NAVIGATION

Use the remote control arrow buttons to navigate the MV-5 menu structure, shown in detail in Appendix B. The Command Matrix Table located later in this chapter indicates the navigation commands that the remote control buttons perform when the MV- 5 command bank is activated by selecting the “LEX” or “ZONE 2” options on the remote control touch screen.

Arrow	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 param-
	eters. 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.
	When a menu parameter is selected and blinking, press the and
	arrow buttons to scroll through the available parameter
	options.
SELECT	Press the SELECT button to open the menu structure, open a
	menu branch, or select a menu parameter.
MENU	Press the MENU button to open the menu structure.
EXIT	When the menu is open, press the EXIT button to leave the menu.
	Unlike the arrow button which closes a menu layer, the EXIT
	button completely closes the menu structure.
