ABOUT THE RV-8

Thank you for purchasing the RV-8 Receiver, an 8-channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring that provides control of audio and video source selection in th ree zones at the same time. The RV -8 includes ei ght configurable in puts, each of which can be assigned to its built-in tuner, eight digital audio, eight analog audio, phono, five composite video, five S-Video or three component video input connectors. The analog connectors can be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources.

The RV-8 features an integrated 7-channel power amplifier that is designed to achieve high levels of power and performance. Equipped with a toroidal power transformer, the amplifier also provides thermal and DC protection.

The RV-8 AM/FM stereo radio tuner features four tuning regions, allows for the automatic or manual storing of up to 40 preset stations, can receive elements of the Radio Data System (RDS) broadcasts, and is fully configurable for ease of operation. The RV-8 also includes a phono input.

Inside and out, the RV-8 is designed for possible future developments. The rear panel houses one RS-232 connector capable of performing configuration downloads and flash memory software upgrades, and another capable of supporting future developments. The rear panel also includes one removable access panel to accommodate connectors for emerging technologies.

More than just an audio and video control center, the RV-8 features the latest version of Lexicon’s critically acclaimed Logic 7

decoding, which creates 7.1-channel output from stereo, and

5.1-and 6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, Logic 7 is compatible with all input sources and requires no special encoding. Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible, Logic 7

decoding is widely regarded as the finest available. A Logic 7-encoded downmix of multichannel source material is available when using the Headphone listening mode. If a stereo source is present, the HEADPHONE L7 listening mode processes it using LOGIC7, then uses Head Related Transfer Functions to create a headphone output that introduces a subtle sense of surround sound, while preserving the original stereo image.

In addition to Logic 7, the RV-8 offers Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS 96/24, DTS neo:6, DTS-ES, THX Ultra2 and THX Surround EX decoding. THX Ultra2

certification guarantees that the RV-8 meets the highest THX specifications.

The RV-8 also offers LIVE! (Lexicon Intelligent Variable Environment), designed to transform t he way your listening room sounds with the live sound that is created within the room by the occupants of the room. LIVE! does not (nor is it meant to) work with prerecorded material. LIVE! provides a realistic illusion of a larger, more reverberant listening space–ideal for musicians wishing to practice or perform with the sound of a larger venue.

LIVE! is a unique, sophisticated reverberation system that uses a combination of microphones and digital signal processing (DSP) to enhance a room’s acoustics and create the illusion of a much larger space. When you engage in normal conversation, it seems as if you are in a large room. When you practice or perform with a musical

instrument, it seems as if you are in a concert hall. Choose from one of three customizable presets to create an ambience to liven up a party or amaze your friends.

With two floating-point Hammerhead™ digital signal processing (DSP) engines, the RV-8 boasts enormous processing power. These

1-2

RV-8 Getting Started

powerful processors perform custom Lexicon processing such as Logic 7 decoding, bass enhancement, dialogue enhancement, auto azimuth, five-speaker enhancement, bass management, highprecision digital crossovers and audio controls. These features are available at sample rates of up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top performance from all sources. In addition, a third DSP engine is dedicated to decoding multichannel compressed audio sources.

The RV-8 is one of the most advanced audio and video control centers available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can be used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the RV-8 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. 24-bit/192kHZ D/A converters are available for all output channels. Alternatively,

5.1-channel and stereo analog signals can bypass A/D conversion and internal processing, following a pure signal path directly to the output connectors.

Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high rejection. Lexicon’s proprietary auto azimuth technology corrects timing and

level imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate playback of surround-encoded sources. A digital audio passthrough output is available for recording digital signals with a CD recorder or a similar component.

Complementing its audio performance, the RV-8 features broadcastquality video switchers. An ultrawide-bandwidth component video switcher accepts analog component or RGB video signals, while a composite and S-Video switcher accepts high-quality NTSC, PAL or SECAM video signals. Composite and S-Video sources can be converted to 480i NTSC (576i PAL) component video. The component video switcher can pass high-definition TV (HDTV) signals and standard-definition (SD) TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or degradation.

Built to professional standards, the RV-8 is designed to serve as the control center in any high-quality home theater. Even the most demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unique combination of power, performance, flexibility and technological sophistication. With extensive expansion capabilities, the RV-8 represents a solid investment that will retain its value in the face of rapidly emerging technologies.

Basic Operation Lexicon

TUNER OVERVIEW

The RV-8 features an AM/FM stereo radio tuner. The front panel displays the currently selected frequency , band, listening mode and volume. Forty presets can store AM or FM frequencies, identified by the preset number/name and station frequency/band. For example: WABC/90.90 FM or Preset 02/10.30 AM. Two antennas are supplied with the RV-8: one for AM and one for FM stereo. At a minimum, use of the supplied antennas is recommended to ensure consistent tuner performance.

The tuner can be setup to receive elements of the Radio Data System (RDS) broadcasts. Originated in Europe and now with limited availability in the US, the RDS is a standard for broadcasting digital data along with an FM radio broadcast. When the RDS option is active and RDS data is received, the RV-8 tuner displays the identity of the broadcast station, receipt of alternate station frequencies and any additional text (referred to as RT or Radio Text) that the station broadcasts. For more information on RDS features, see “Tuner Setup” on page 3-72.

SELECTING A STATION

Begin selecting a radio station by activating the built-in tune r input. To activate the tuner input, press the front-panel TUNER button or select the TUNER option from the remote-control MAIN screen. See the “Tuner Setup” on page 3-72 for more information.

DIRECT STATION ACCESS

T o access a specific frequency, use the numeric buttons on either the front panel or remote control to enter the desired station frequency.

T o directly access a station from the front panel or remote control:

1. Press the AM/FM button to select the desired band.

2. Enter the three or four digit station frequency. For example, to load FM station 90.9, press 9-0-9. T o load AM station 1030, press the AM/FM button to select the AM band, then press 1-0-3-0.

Note:

When digits are first entered, a “Loading Preset” status message appears in the front-panel (and on-screen) display. When a third digit is entered, the RV-8 senses a frequency is being entered and changes the status message to “Setting Frequency.”

TUNE/SEEK ACCESS

Press one of the Tune/Seek buttons on the front panel (/ ) or remote control ( / ) to navigate to the next available frequency. For example, if the currently loaded frequency is

101.7FM, press the T une/Seek  button to load 101.9FM. Press t he

Tune/Seek button again to load 102.1FM, and so on.

Next, determine if the desired frequency band is active by pushing the front-panel or remote-control AM/FM button to toggle between the AM and FM frequency bands.

Once the frequency band is set, there are several ways to select a radio station: direct station access, tune/seek access, scan mode and presets.

2-10

Press one of the Tune/Seek buttons on the front panel (/ ) or remote control ( / ) for 2 seconds to activate seek mode. Seek mode searches for the next available radio station. If the tuner is having difficulty locating stations, raise the sensitivity leve l. See “SCAN SENS” on 3-73 for more information.

RV-8 Basic Operation

SCAN MODE

Scan Mode scans through all available stations, pausing for two seconds on each station before scanning to the next one.

To enter Scan Mode:

Press and hold the front-panel (/) or remote-control ( /) Tune/Seek buttons until SCAN or SCAN is displayed.

To stop scanning:

Press either Tune/Seek button.

LOADING PRESETS

To load a preset:

Enter a preset (number between 1 and 40) using the front-panel or remote-control number buttons.

A “Loading Preset” status message appears in the front-panel (and on-screen) display. If a third digit is entered, the tun er switches over to Direct Station Access mode and the front-panel status message changes to “Setting Frequency.”

SAVING PRESETS

The RV-8 h as 40 presets available for st oring AM or FM stations. The presets are divided into four banks with ten presets per bank. It is possible to store a combination of AM and FM stations in each bank. Storing presets on the RV-8 can be accomplished from either the front panel or the remote control. The operation is identical.

To save a station as a preset on the RV-8:

1. Press the front-panel or remote-control SAVE button. A status

message displaying ”Saving Preset” appears in the front-panel (and on-screen) display.

2. Enter a number between 1 and 40 to save the currently loaded

frequency as the corresponding preset. For example, if the tuner is currently playing 101.7FM, press

the SAVE button, then the 1 button to save 101.7FM as preset number 1.

Press the 1 button followed by the 5 button to save as preset number 15. Pressing more than two numbers resets the preset number to the third digit entered.

Pressing the SAVE button a second time cancels the saving process.

To skip through available presets in order:

Press the remote-control  or  button. For example, if preset 1 is loaded and the  button is pressed, the RV-8 will load preset 2 (or the next available preset). If preset 1 is loaded and the  button is pressed, the RV-8 will load preset 40 (or the next available preset).

Note:

This feature is only accessible via the remote control.

NAMING PRESETS

Preset stations use a naming system based on the RDS system. In the US, each preset channel is identified by the station's call letters, or what the broadcast information identifies as the call letters. In Europe and Japan, each preset channel is identified by the station's Program Service (PS) name.

If the RDS information is not available, the preset name defaults to PresetXX, where XX is the listed number position in the Preset menu.

2-11

Basic Operation Lexicon

For example, if Preset #01 is FM 90.90 and the call letters are WABC, then the name for that position is WABC. If Preset #23 does not broadcast their call letters, then that location is identified as Preset23 in the menu.

EDITING PRESETS

It is possible to customize the name of each preset on the RV-8.

To edit the preset name:

1. Select TUNER PRESETS from the MAIN MENU. The TUNER PRESETS menu contains a list of preset pages. PAGE 1 contains presets 1 through 10, PAGE 2 contains presets 11 through 20, etc.

2. Select the page containing the desired preset. A list of presets appears.

3. Select the desired preset. The EDIT PRESET menu opens and displays the preset call letters

(or PS), frequency, and band.

The EDIT PRESET menu options are as follows:

AUTOLOAD

The RV-8 can automatically scan and store presets. This can be accomplished only from the remote control. See “Tuner Setup (continued)” on page 3-74 for additional information.

To start autoloading:

1. Select AUTOLOAD from the MAIN MENU : SETUP : TUNER SETUP menu.

2. Press menu  to start AUTOLOAD.

• Select LISTEN TO PRESET to load the preset frequency.

• Select NAME to customize the pr eset name. The preset name can be up to eight characters long.

• Select CLEAR PRESET to clear the frequency and band information from the preset.

See “Tuner Preset s” on page 5-2 for additional information.

RV-8 Basic Operation

AMPLIFIER OVERVIEW

The RV-8 features a 7-channel power amplifier with 140W per channel. The RV-8 can be configured so that all amplifier channels are dedicated to the Main Zone or so that outputs 3 and 7 (labeled Rear Right and Rear Left) are used for Zone 2 or Zone 3. Heavy duty gold plated 5-way binding posts are provided for speaker connections.

The amplifiers feature advanced thermal current and DC protection for each channel. Thermal protection monitors the temperature of the chassis and heatsinks and automatically deactivates the specific channel(s) when they exceed their normal safe operating temperature. Current protection ensures that the output transistors are protected by limiting the current capability which is determined by the output voltage, while DC protection prevents DC and frequencies below 10Hz from reaching the speakers. Dedicated channel status LEDs are located on the front panel to provide at-aglance viewing of channel status at all times. If the main power transformer temperature exceeds 100°C, the transformer will deactivate, all channel status LEDs will no longer be lit and the red standby LED will flash rapidly. Once the transformer has cooled, it automatically resets and the amplifier operates normally; the channel status LEDs turn back on, and the red standby LED is no longer lit.

AMPLIFIER CHANNEL STATUS

Each channel has a blue Channel Status LED on the front panel that is illuminated when the unit is powered on. If there is a problem with an amplifier channel, the LED will turn off.

MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH THE AMPLIFIER OUTPUT

The amplifier output connectors can accept bare speaker wires, banana plug connectors or ce rtain spade connectors. When using bare speaker wires, loosen the connecto r, insert the wire into the top of the receptacle, then tighten the connector. The same procedure should be used for spade connectors. Banana plugs should be inserted into the outward-facing receptacle.

Use heavy-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.

The amplifiers are designed to meet the highest standards of performance and sound quality. In addition, THX Ultra2 certification ensures that the amplifiers meet the highest standards set forth by Lucasfilm's Home THX division.

Basic Operation Lexicon

HEADPHONE OVERVIEW

Headphones can be connected to the RV-8 via the Headphone output on the front panel. The headphone output follows the signal selected in the Main Zone. If the Main Zone sour ce is m ulti chann el , a downmix of the source is sent to the headphone output. LOGIC7 headphone processing is also available for stereo or m ultichannel sources. To listen to a stereo source without enhanced processing, set the 2-CH parameter in the INPUT SETUP menu to the 2-CHANNEL listening mode. When headphones are plugged into the headphone output, all amplifier outputs are muted (including outputs 3 and 7, unless they are assigned to Zone 2 or Zone 3). The Main Zone preamplifier outputs are also muted. Preamplifier outputs for Zone 2 and Zone 3 remain unmuted. Use the frontpanel volume knob or the remote-control Volume Up/Down buttons to adjust the headphone output level.

When the headphones are plugged into the headphone output, the volume defaults to the HEADPHONE parameter value selected in the VOLUME CONTROL SETUP menu. When the headphones are unplugged, the volume defaults to the value of the MAIN PWR ON parameter in the VOLUME CONTROL SETUP menu. See page 6-34 for headphone listening mode descriptions.

REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

The RV-8 remote control provides full operation of the RV-8, 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. For detailed 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 -8 remote control:

• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front-panel IR 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 IR receiver.

• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a 30-degree angle no more than 40 to 60 feet (12.2m to 18.3m) from the RV-8. Placing the RV-8 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.
