Getting Started Lexicon1-2ABOUT THE RV-5Thank you for purchasing the RV-5 Receiver, an 8-channel audioand video control center with independent zone monitoring thatprovides control of audio and video source selection in three zonesat the same time. The RV-5 includes eight configurable inputs, eachof which can be assigned to its built-in tuner, eight digital audio,eight analog audio, phono, five composite video, five S-Video orthree component video input connectors. The analog connectorscan be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources. The RV-5 features an integrated 7-channel power amplifier that isdesigned to achieve high levels of power and performance.Equipped with a toroidal power transformer, the amplifier alsoprovides thermal and DC protection.The RV-5 AM/FM stereo radio tuner features four tuning regions,allows for the automatic or manual storing of up to 40 presetstations, can receive elements of the Radio Data System (RDS)broadcasts, and is fully configurable for ease of operation. The RV-5also includes a phono input.Inside and out, the RV-5 is designed for possible future develop-ments. The rear panel houses one RS-232 connector capable ofperforming configuration downloads and flash memory softwareupgrades, and another capable of supporting future developments.The rear panel also includes one removable access panel to accom-modate connectors for emerging technologies.More than just an audio and video control center, the RV-5 featuresthe latest version of Lexicon’s critically acclaimed Logic 7®decoding, which creates 7.1-channel output from stereo, and5.1-and 6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, Logic 7 iscompatible with all input sources and requires no special encoding.Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible, Logic 7decoding is widely regarded as the finest available. A Logic7-encoded downmix of multichannel source material is availablewhen using the Headphone listening mode. If a stereo source ispresent, the HEADPHONE L7 listening mode processes it usingLOGIC7, then uses Head Related Transfer Functions to create aheadphone output that introduces a subtle sense of surroundsound, while preserving the original stereo image.In addition to Logic 7, the RV-5 offers Dolby Digital Surround EX,Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS 96/24, DTS neo:6, andDTS-ES. The RV-5 is one of the most advanced audio and video controlcenters available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters canbe used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digitalsignals, allowing the RV-5 to provide the benefits of precise digitalsignal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. 24-bit/192kHZD/A converters are available for all output channels. Alternatively,5.1-channel and stereo analog signals can bypass A/D conversionand internal processing, following a pure signal path directly to theoutput connectors.Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phaselock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high rejection.Lexicon’s proprietary auto azimuth technology corrects timing andlevel imbalances in stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurateplayback of surround-encoded sources. A digital audio pass-through output is available for recording digital signals with a CDrecorder or a similar component.Complementing its audio performance, the RV-5 featuresbroadcast-quality video switchers. An ultrawide-bandwidthcomponent video switcher accepts analog component or RGBvideo signals, while a composite and S-Video switcher accepts high-
RV-5 Getting Started1-3quality NTSC, PAL or SECAM video signals. Composite and S-Videosources can be converted to 480i NTSC (576i PAL) componentvideo. The component video switcher can pass high-definition TV(HDTV) signals and standard-definition (SD) TV signals. Bothswitchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration ordegradation.Built to professional standards, the RV-5 is designed to serve as thecontrol center in any high-quality home theater. Even the mostdemanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unique combi-nation of power, performance, flexibility and technologicalsophistication. With extensive expansion capabilities, the RV-5represents a solid investment that will retain its value in the face ofrapidly emerging technologies.Based on the decoding platform of the Lexicon processor line, theRV-8 Receiver is an exceptional addition to any home theatersystem. AM/FM tuner, powerful amplifier, three independentzones, impressive digital processor – the RV-8 is truly two separateproducts seamlessly integrated into an incredibly flexible, high-performance, and sophisticated amplifier/processor system.The RV-8 has enough raw power available to drive a 7-channelsystem with room to spare thanks to a prodigious 140 watts perchannel. Even more impressive, it is capable of driving, difficultspeaker loads while retaining exceptional transparency, widedynamic range, and sonic neutrality. Flexibility is a necessity in today’s home theater and the RV-8delivers. The RV-8 can process all major formats from Dolby andDTS, and features THX Ultra2 enhancements. These formats areprogrammed into the RV-8 software as selectable preferred listeningmodes. The listener can also program the RV-8 to a specificlistening mode by the input source selected, making favoritesettings simple and automatic. The AM/FM tuner also features theRadio Data Systems (RDS) information, where available.The RV-8 features Lexicon’s LOGIC 7 decoding. This technology isbased on decades of scientific research into how we hear and thestudy of room acoustics. Lexicon Logic 7 processing intelligentlyderives up to 7 channels from any 2-channel, 5.1-channel, or 6.1-channel input source. LIVE, a unique system that transforms anylistening room into an ideal acoustic space, is also utilized in the RV-8 receiver. The RV-8 also features Bass Enhancement, another Lexicon propri-etary technology developed specifically for surround systems.During a live musical performance, bass envelops the listener;however, when listening to the same performance from recordedmedia in your home theater, the bass has more of an “in your head”quality, instead of surrounding you. This phenomenon results fromlow frequency sound waves and their interaction with the naturalacoustics of the room. The Lexicon Bass Enhancement system isdesigned to reproduce the sense of bass envelopment that existsduring live performances.Highly flexible, the RV-8 has three separate audio zones. Since allthree zones are wholly independent, it’s possible to watch a DVD inthe home theater while listening to a CD in the office and watchingsatellite TV in the kitchen. These additional zones can be controlledby IR or RS-232 based control systems.With enormous flexibility, a powerful amplifier, superior processing,and phenomenal sound quality, the RV-8 is truly in a class of its ownand would make a fine addition to any home theater.

AMPLIFIER OVERVIEWThe RV-5 features a 9-channel power amplifier with 140W perchannel. Heavy duty gold plated 5-way binding posts are providedfor speaker connections.The amplifiers feature advanced thermal current and DC protectionfor each channel. Thermal protection monitors the temperature ofthe chassis and heatsinks and automatically deactivates the specificchannel(s) when they exceed their normal safe operating temper-ature. Current protection ensures that the output transistors areprotected by limiting the current capability which is determined bythe output voltage, while DC protection prevents DC andfrequencies below 10Hz from reaching the speakers. The amplifiers are designed to meet the highest standards of perfor-mance and sound quality. MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH THE AMPLIFIER OUTPUTThe amplifier output connectors can accept bare speaker wires,banana plug connectors or certain spade connectors. When usingbare speaker wires, loosen the connector, insert the wire into thetop of the receptacle, then tighten the connector. The sameprocedure should be used for spade connectors. Banana plugsshould be inserted into the outward-facing receptacle.Use heavy-gauge speaker cable to ensure low-impedanceconnections between the amplifier and the speakers. Observecorrect speaker polarity.CAUTION! Do not connect the outputs of one channel tothe outputs of other channels or to other amplifiers.
RV-5 Basic Operation2-9TUNER OVERVIEWThe RV-5 features an AM/FM stereo radio tuner. The front paneldisplays the currently selected frequency, band, listening mode andvolume. Forty presets can store AM or FM frequencies, identified bythe preset number/name and station frequency/band. For example:WABC/90.90 FM or Preset 02/10.30 AM. Two antennas aresupplied with the RV-5: one for AM and one for FM stereo. At aminimum, use of the supplied antennas is recommended to ensureconsistent tuner performance.The tuner can be setup to receive elements of the Radio DataSystem (RDS) broadcasts. Originated in Europe and now withlimited availability in the US, the RDS is a standard for broadcastingdigital data along with an FM radio broadcast. When the RDSoption is active and RDS data is received, the RV-5 tuner displaysthe identity of the broadcast station, receipt of alternate stationfrequencies 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 STATIONBegin selecting a radio station by activating the built-in tuner input.To activate the tuner input, press the front-panel TUNER button orselect the TUNER option from the remote-control MAIN screen. Seethe “Tuner Setup” on page 3-72 for more information.Next, determine if the desired frequency band is active by pushing thefront-panel or remote-control AM/FM button to toggle between theAM and FM frequency bands. Once the frequency band is set, there are several ways to select a radiostation: direct station access, tune/seek access, scan mode and presets.DIRECT STATION ACCESS To access a specific frequency, use the numeric buttons on either thefront panel or remote control to enter the desired station frequency. To 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, toload FM station 90.9, press 9-0-9. To load AM station 1030, pressthe 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 appearsin the front-panel (and on-screen) display.

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 PRESETSTo load a preset:Enter a preset (number between 1 and 40) using the front-panel orremote-control number buttons. A “Loading Preset” status message appears in the front-panel (andon-screen) display. If a third digit is entered, the tuner switches overto Direct Station Access mode and the front-panel status messagechanges to “Setting Frequency.”To skip through available presets in order: Press the remote-control  or  button. For example, if preset 1 isloaded and the  button is pressed, the RV-5 will load preset 2 (orthe next available preset). If preset 1 is loaded and the  button ispressed, the RV-5 will load preset 40 (or the next available preset). Note: This feature is only accessible via the remote control.SAVING PRESETSThe RV-5 has 40 presets available for storing AM or FM stations. Thepresets are divided into four banks with ten presets per bank. It ispossible to store a combination of AM and FM stations in eachbank. Storing presets on the RV-5 can be accomplished from eitherthe front panel or the remote control. The operation is identical. To save a station as a preset on the RV-5:1. Press the front-panel or remote-control SAVE button. A statusmessage displaying ”Saving Preset” appears in the front-panel(and on-screen) display. 2. Enter a number between 1 and 40 to save the currently loadedfrequency 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.NAMING PRESETSPreset stations use a naming system based on the RDS system. In theUS, each preset channel is identified by the station's call letters, or whatthe broadcast information identifies as the call letters. In Europe andJapan, each preset channel is identified by the station's Program
RV-5 Basic Operation2-11Service (PS) name.If the RDS information is not available, the preset name defaults toPresetXX, where XX is the listed number position in the Preset menu.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 notbroadcast their call letters, then that location is identified as Preset23 inthe menu.EDITING PRESETS It is possible to customize the name of each preset on the RV-5.To edit the preset name:1. Select TUNER PRESETS from the MAIN MENU. The TUNERPRESETS menu contains a list of preset pages. PAGE 1 containspresets 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:• Select LISTEN TO PRESET to load the preset frequency.• Select NAME to customize the preset name. The preset namecan be up to eight characters long.• Select CLEAR PRESET to clear the frequency and band informa-tion from the preset.See “Tuner Presets” on page 5-2 for additional information.AUTOLOADThe RV-5 can automatically scan and store presets. This can beaccomplished 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 SETUPmenu.2. Press menu  to start AUTOLOAD.
Basic Operation Lexicon2-12REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEWThe RV-5 remote control provides full operation of the RV-5,including commands, such as menu navigation, that are notavailable from the front panel. It is also designed to provide controlfor the entire home theater system. This section provides a briefoverview of the remote control. For detailed operation/programming instructions and manufacturing codes, refer toAppendix C. OPERATION CONSIDERATIONSThe following factors can improve or impede remote controloperation.Note the following before operating the RV-5 remote control:• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front-panelIR receiver. Eliminate obstructions between the remote controland the IR receiver. The remote control may become unreliableif strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the IR receiver.• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a30-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 cabinetwill reduce the remote control range.• Remote controls for different components can interfere withone another. Avoid using remote controls for different compo-nents at the same time.• Remote-control batteries should be replaced as needed.

RV-5 Basic Operation2-27UNDERSTANDING THE ZONESThe RV-5 features two zones of operation: the Main Zone and Zone2. The Main Zone controls audio and video signals in the primarylistening space. Zone 2 controls digital and analog audio andcomposite or S-Video signals for a second zone or recording device. The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:1. The same Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input source can be simul-taneously selected for the Main Zone and Zone 2. However,different Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input sources cannot bepresent in the Main Zone and Zone 2.2. Zone 2 can provide a 2-channel downmix of Main Zone multi-channel audio when all of the following conditions are met:• The same input must be selected in the Main Zone andZone 2.• A Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES) or 5.1a input source must bepresent in the Main Zone.• The INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN parameter must be set toDMIX. See “ZONE2 in Parameter Settings” on page 3-22 formore information.3. The Zone 2 audio output connectors will receive Front L/R whena 5.1a source is present in the Main Zone and the ZONE2 INparameter is set to ANLG.4. When 5.1a BYPASS or 2-CH BYPASS is selected, a downmix toZone 2 is not available.TWO-LINE STATUSThe two-line status opens in the on-screen and front-panel displayswhenever the RV-5 detects a change in input source or listening mode.The Main Zone two-line status appears when the RV-5 detects a MainZone change, and the Zone 2 (or Zone 3) two-line status appearswhen a Zone 2 (or Zone 3) status change is detected.The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu STATUS parameter is used tocontrol the length of time the two-line status appears in the on-screen display.

When the parameter setting is NONE, a matrix-encodedsource is not detected. The RV-5 cannot automatically detect matrixencoding in non-flagged input sources.BIT RATE 32 to 640 kbps or 754 to 1509.7kbpsIndicates the rate at which the input signal is encoded. A higher bitrate indicates that less compression was used during the encodingprocess. Possible settings for Dolby Digital sources range from 32 to640 kbps. Possible settings for DTS(-ES) sources range from 754 to1509.7 kbps.CENTER MIX LVL –3.0dB, –4.5dB, –6.0dBIndicates the relative level of the center channel that was usedduring the mixing process.CHANNELS 3/3.1, 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, 1/0Indicates the number of channels present in the input source. Thefirst digit indicates the number of front channels present. The digitafter the slash indicates the number of surround channels present.The digit after the decimal point indicates the presence of LFE (low-frequency effects) information. For instance, if the parameter settingis 3/2.1, an input source with three front channels, two surroundchannels and LFE information is present. LFE information is sent tothe Main Zone audio output connector labeled Sub.Possible settings for Dolby Digital input sources include 3/2.1, 3/2,3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0 and 1/0.

These level meters indicate input levels for both analog anddigital input sources. For instance, the level meters indicate digitalaudio input levels when a digital audio source is present.Different combinations of level meters appear on each STATUS menu,depending on the source that is present. The SB level meter appearswhen a 6.1-channel source is present, or when a 5.1-channel sourceis present and the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON.Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow and red whenthe on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen background.Green indicates low levels, yellow indicates normal levels, and redindicates high levels and the onset of overload.

However, this newly selected mode will be lostwhen switching between inputs. The USE LAST parameter was designed to allow the RV-5 software to“remember” the last used listening mode for a given input source.Once selected, that mode will always be active on the correspondinginput until another listening mode is selected as demonstrated in thefollowing example: 1. Select Main MenuSETUPINPUTSDVD1USE LAST.2. Press the MENU button.3. Press the DVD-1 button.4. Play a DTS input source.5. Press the MODE + button until you reach DTS(-ES) 2-CHAN.6. Press the TV buttonThe RV-5 switches to the TV input and the on-screen display identifies the preferred listening mode.7. Press the DVD-1 button. The on-screen display should identify that the active listening modefor the DVD1 input is still DTS(-ES) 2-CHAN. As the DTS(-ES)2-CHAN mode is a preferred listening mode, it can also be set inthe SETUP menu.When seven speakers are selected in the SPEAKER SETUP menu, andthe appropriate source material is played, the dynamic listeningmode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) canalways be accessed using the MODE + or MODE - buttons whetheror not a preferred mode is set. When a preferred listening mode is setand a dynamic listening mode (or mode that does not appear in theinput setup menu) is active, the selected dynamic mode is lost whenswitching between inputs. When USE LAST is selected as the preferred listening mode, and adynamic listening mode (or mode that does not appear in the inputsetup menu) is active, the selected listening mode is retained whenswitching between inputs, even when the RV-5 is set to standby as inthe following example:1.

The RV-5 is equipped with an internal limiter to prevent low-frequency signals from exceeding a designated output level. This is essential for Dolby Digital and DTS(-ES) sources that produce low-frequency signal peaks at much higher output levels than 2-channel sources. In home theaters, there is a danger of the subwoofers and their associated amplifiers overloading when attempting to reproduce low-frequency signals. Note:Configure BASS PEAK LIMITERS menu parameter settings whetheroutput levels are automatically or manually calibrated.CAL NOISE ON, OFFDetermines whether bass peak limiters are set with an internal orexternal calibration source.

When the MODE ADJUST menuopens, the currently activated Main Zone listening mode is highlighted.Selecting a listening mode does not activate that listening modefor the current Main Zone input source. Rather, selecting a listeningmode opens the corresponding listening mode menu, which is used tocustomize the selected listening mode. These adjustments are appliedwhen the listening mode is selected with one of the methods described inthe Listening Mode Activation section that begins below.LISTENING MODE ACTIVATIONListening modes are available for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES), MIC andanalog input sources. The RV-5 allows listening mode selection for all MainZone sources. In some cases, the RV-5 automatically activates a listening modein response to certain commands. For this reason, it is important to understandthe three methods through which listening mode activation occurs.Note:When headphones are plugged into the RV-5, all listening modes are downmixedto two channels with the following exceptions: HEADPHONE L7, HEADPHONE 5.1,HEADPHONE DTS and HEADPHONE 5.1a.

To do this, select oneof the following options.• Select the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP menu DISTANCES option tohave the RV-5 automatically calibrate speaker distances.• Measure the distance between the primary listening posi-tion and the front baffle of each speaker. Then, set the cor-responding SPEAKER DISTANCES menu parameters to theclosest available value.3. Sit in the primary listening position. If the primary listeningposition is not centered between the front left and rightspeakers as shown in illustration B (above), set the PANORAMACALIBRATION  LISTENER POS parameter to compensate forthe difference using the remote control  and  arrowbuttons. Each increment within the –127 to +127 parameterrange represents about one-third of an inch. The Left illus-tration shows the left-of-center position. The Right illustrationshows the right- of-center position4. Set the SOURCE parameter to RIGHT.5. Begin playback of the external calibration source.6.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Lexicon7-2TROUBLESHOOTINGThe RV-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 RV-5 with the front-panel Standbybutton and remote control On button.3. Examine the power cord to ensure a good connection betweenthe rear-panel AC input connector and the wall outlet.4. Check the electrical circuit and breaker.The remote control does not work.1. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and thefront-panel IR receiver. When the RV-5 is not using the rear-panel IR IN connector, the remote control must be in line ofsight with the front-panel IR receiver for proper operation. Theremote control might also become unreliable if strong sunlightor fluorescent light is shining on the IR receiver.2. Make sure the remote control batteries are correctly insertedwith the proper polarity (page 1-6).3. Replace the remote control batteries. When the batteries arelow on power, the remote control enters a low-voltagecondition that prevents it from operating the RV-8.The RV-5 is powered on, but there is no audio.1. Make sure volume level is audible. Volume level can beincreased with the front-panel volume knob or the remotecontrol VOL  and  buttons.2. Make sure audio has not been muted. The message “MUTEON” or “FULL MUTE ON” will appear in the on-screen andfront-panel displays when audio has been muted. To deactivatemute, press the Mute button or adjust the volume level.3. Check the INPUT SETUP menu DIGITAL IN and ANALOG INparameters to ensure the appropriate audio connector is assignedto the selected input.4. Make sure the RV-5 is receiving an audio signal. To do this,follow the instructions that begin on page 2-29 to open theSTATUS menu for the current input source.Dialogue sounds muffled.If the speaker setup does not include a center speaker, make sure acustom – as opposed to a THX – speaker setup is selected. Then,make sure the CUSTOM SETUP menu CENTER parameter is set toNONE (page 3-31).A humming sound is present in the audio.1. If a cable TV connection is present, disconnect the cable fromthe wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, a groundloop isolation device is required. Contact your dealer or thecable provider for assistance.2. Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem.Once the problem is identified, make sure the associatedcomponent is properly grounded and connected to the sameelectrical circuit as the RV-5.The RV-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.
RV-5 Troubleshooting and Maintenance7-32. Check the INPUT SETUP menu VIDEO IN and COMPONENT IN(page 3-11) parameters to ensure the appropriate videoconnector is assigned to the selected input.RF interference is present in the audio or video.1. Make sure the RV-5 is not positioned near unshielded TV or FMantennas, cable TV decoders and other RF-emitting devices.2. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables wherever possible.The RV-5 is exhibiting erratic behavior.1. Set the rear-panel power switch to the c (“off”) position. Wait10 seconds. Then set the rear-panel power switch to the |(“on”) position. 2. Use the RV-5 configuration tool to download the current RV-5configuration to a personal computer (PC) or document all user-defined settings on the Installation Worksheet that begins onpage D-2. Then, follow the instructions on the next page torestore factory-default settings.If all else fails...1. Document all user-defined settings on the InstallationWorksheet that begins on page D-2. Then, follow the instruc-tions on page 7-4 to restore factory-default settings.2. Contact an authorized Lexicon dealer.3. Contact Lexicon customer service at 781-280-0300 orwww.lexicon.com.Note:Visit the knowledgebase at http://www.lexicon.com/kbase foranswers to frequently asked questions and additional trouble-shooting information.The tuner volume suddenly went mute, then after a minute itresumed. This seems to happen occasionally.Under the TUNER SETUP menu, is the AUTO FREQUENCY optionactive? You may be experiencing broadcast station dropouts. Whenthe broadcast signal drops out, the volume is muted and AUTOFREQUENCY activates, scanning for alternate broadcast frequenciesand then verifying that the station ID is an exact match. If thestation ID matches and the alternate frequency is a stronger signal,then the tuner switches to the alternate frequency and turns off thevolume mute. Otherwise, auto frequency scans for anotheralternate frequency and repeats the procedure. If there are a lot ofalternate broadcast frequencies, this process can take a noticeableamount of time. To stop this behavior, simply turn off the Autofrequency option.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Lexicon7-4ROUTINE MAINTENANCEThe bulleted items below describe routine maintenance that shouldbe performed on a periodic basis.• Clean the RV-5 exterior surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Donot use alcohol, benzene, acetone-based cleaners or strongcommercial cleaners. Do not use a cloth made with steel woolor metal polish. If the RV-8 is exposed to a dusty environment, alow-pressure blower can be used to remove dust from itsexterior surface.• Replace the remote control batteries as needed. The remotecontrol requires four AAA batteries. When these batteries arelow on power, the remote control enters a low-voltagecondition that prevents it from operating the RV-5. Normaloperation will resume when new batteries are installed.RESTORING FACTORY-DEFAULT SETTINGSWhen factory-default settings are restored, all parameters and user-defined values are restored to their factory-default settings. Beforerestoring factory-default settings, record all user-defined settings inthe Installation Worksheet in the Appendix on page D-2.To restore factory-default settings:1. Record all user-defined settings on the Installation Worksheetthat begins on page D-2. When factory-default settings arerestored, all parameters and user-defined values are restored totheir factory-default settings.2. If the RV-5 is powered on, press the front-panel standby buttonor the remote control Off button to activate standby mode anddeactivate the RV-5. If the RV-5 is in standby mode, proceed tostep 3.3. Press the front-panel standby button or the remote control Onbutton to deactivate standby mode and activate the RV-5.4. Quickly press and hold the front-panel or remote control Mutebutton until the FACTORY SETTINGS menu opens in the on-screen and front-panel displays.5. Press the remote control  and  arrow buttons to highlightthe desired option. Highlight the RESTORE DEFAULTS option torestore factory-default settings. Highlight the EXIT option toclose the FACTORY SETTINGS menu without restoring factory-default settings.6. When the desired option is highlighted, press the remotecontrol  arrow button to select this option.• If the RESTORE DEFAULTS option was selected, theFACTORY SETTINGS message shown in the previous pagewill appear in the on-screen and front-panel displays. Whenthis message appears, press a front-panel or remote controlbutton to restart the RV-5.• If the EXIT option is selected, the FACTORY SETTINGS menuwill close and the two-line status will open in the on-screenand front-panel displays.FACTORY SETTINGSEXITRESTORE DEFAULTSFACTORY SETTINGSHAVE BEEN RESTOREDPRESS ANY KEYTO RESTART
