RF-1 RECEIVER
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 RV-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
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 receiver. Operation

Use up to 10-gauge speaker cable to ensure low-impedance
connections between the amplifier and the speakers. Observe
correct speaker polarity.
CAUTION!
Do not connect the outputs of one channel to the outputs
of other channels or to other amplifiers. Do not
over-tighten speaker connectors as they can break and
will then require that the RV-5 be serviced.
For information on how to use the AM/FM radio tuner, refer to
Section 5: Tuner, Dock, & PC Controls.
2-8
UTILIZING SPARE CHANNELS
While the amplifier can support a 7.1-channel system, it is equally
suitable for use with 5.1-channel systems. Since 5.1-channel
systems do not use all of the speaker outputs, the “spare” amplifier
outputs can be used for Zone 2 operation.
For example, if the RV-5 Receiver is used to run a 5.1-channel
system in the main listening area, then the two rear speaker outputs
can be used as Zone 2 left and right speakers in a second listening
location, without the cost of an additional power amplifier.
RV-5Basic Operation
TUNER, PC, & DOCK OVERVIEW
The Tuner, PC, & Dock inputs are the only “hard-wired” inputs in
the RV-5 Receiver. Unlike the other inputs, these three have very
specific audio-only functionality.
The Tuner input is for use with the internal AM/FM radio tuner. 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 all three of these inputs have devoted Remote Control menu
controls, the front panel Tuner controls are multi-functional buttons
that also operate the iPod functions when an iPod is plugged into
the Dock input.
For more information about the Tuner, PC, and Dock operation,
refer to Section 5: Tuner, PC, & Dock Controls.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The RV-5 Receiver remote control provides full operation of the
RV-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 RV-5
Receiver. 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 RV-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 RV-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 RV-5. Placing the RV-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 RV-5, the touch screen of the remote control
must be in the “LEX”, “ZONE 2”, or “TUNER” 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.

refer to Section 4: Audio Controls & Video Status.
The SETUP menu controls all aspects of setting up the RV-5 Receiver.
Refer to Section 3: Setup for more information.
When the remote control touch screen is in the
“LEX”, “TUNER”, or “ZONE 2” menu layers,
pressing MENU or SELECT on the RV-5 remote
control accesses the menu controls for the RV-5
Receiver. The MAIN MENU is the root directory
MENU NAVIGATION
Use the remote control arrow buttons to navigate the RV-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 RV-5
command bank is activated by selecting the “LEX”, “TUNER”, or
“ZONE 2” options on the remote control touch screen.
Arrow
Navigation Functions
(for “LEX”, “TUNER”, 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 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 RV-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 RV-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”, “TUNER”, and “ZONE 2” menu layers.
