WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The following items are included with the MV-5 Processor:
One User Guide (this document)
One Remote Control
Four AAA Batteries (for use with Remote Control)
One Microphone
One Microphone Rod
One North American Power Cord
Two Export Power Cords
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.

PC & DOCK OVERVIEW
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.
• 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
2-9
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 infor-
mation, 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.

MANUAL
Opens the MANUAL speaker setup menu, which allows the manual
selection of the speaker distances, cross-over points, and output
levels. See the next section, “Manual Speaker Set-Up”, for more
details.
SEMI AUTOCAL
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.
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
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.

• 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

MANUAL SPEAKER SETUP
Selecting the SETUP menu SPEAKER/EQ SETUP menu MANUAL option opens the MANUAL menu, which is used to manually set the speaker
distances, cross-over points, and output levels.
AUTO SETTINGS OFF, ON
Loads the values from the active preset into the speaker cross-over
points, distances, or output level parameters. The Speakers
(cross-over points), Speaker Distances, and Output Levels menus all
have an Auto Settings parameter. All three are the same parameter,
but each affects the individual sub-menus separately and
independently of each other.
If the Auto Settings parameter is set to ON, the parameters in that
menu cannot be manually changed until the Auto Settings
parameter is set to OFF.
Note: Any manual settings will be lost if the active preset settings are
loaded; if Auto Settings is set to ON in the Speakers, Speaker Distances, or
Output Levels menus, then previous parameter values will be overwritten.

SPEAKERS MENU
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 cross-
over 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.
FRONT L/R FULL, 40 to 120HZ
Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone
audio output connectors labeled Front L/R. Available selections
include FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz
increments.
Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the front speakers.
Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB
low-frequency rating of the front speakers.
CENTER FULL, 40 to 120HZ, NONE
Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone
audio output connector labeled Center. Available selections include
NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz
increments.
• Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the center speaker.
Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB
low-frequency rating of the center speaker.
• When the speaker setup does not include a center speaker, select
NONE because some listening modes are not intended to be used
without a center channel.
SIDE L/R FULL, 40 to 120Hz, NONE
Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone
audio output connectors labeled Side L/R. Available selections
include NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz
increments.
• Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the Side L/R speakers.
Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB
low-frequency rating of the Side L/R speakers.
• When the speaker setup does not include side speakers, select
NONE to redirect side channel signals to the Front L/R output
connectors. If the Rear L/R parameter is also set to NONE, the
MV-5 will redirect surround channel signals to the Front L/R
output connectors.
SETUP SPEAKER/EQ SETUP MANUAL SPEAKERS

REAR L/R FULL, 40 to 120Hz, NONE
Allows the manual selection of a cross-over point for the Main Zone
audio output connectors labeled REAR/Z2 L/R. Available selections
include NONE, FULL, 120 Hz, 100 Hz, and 80 Hz to 40 Hz in 10 Hz
increments.
• Select FULL to send a full-range signal to the Rear L/R speakers.
Otherwise, select the cross-over point closest to the -3dB
low-frequency rating of the Rear L/R speakers.
• When the speaker setup does not include rear speakers, select
NONE to redirect rear channel signals to the Side L/R output
connectors. If the Side L/R parameter is also set to NONE, the
MV-5 will redirect surround channel signals to the Front L/R
output connectors.
Note: When the Rear L/R parameter is set to NONE, Dolby Digital PLIIx
modes and DTS(-ES) decoding are not available.
SUB/LFE LPF (LOW-PASS FILTER) 40 to 120 Hz
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
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.
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 cross-
over 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.
SPEAKER DISTANCES MENU
Selecting the MANUAL SETUP menu SPEAKER DISTANCES option
opens the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu, which allows the user to
manually set the distances for each speaker. The adjustable range is
0.0 ft (0.0 m) to 30.0 ft (9.00 m) at 0.2 ft (0.06 m) increments.
SETUP SPEAKER/EQ SETUP MANUAL SPEAKER DISTANCES
MV-5 Setup
3-11
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
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.
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.

INPUT SETUP
Selecting the SETUP menu INPUT SETUP option opens the INPUT SETUP menu, a two-screen menu which sets up the input type and name, the
digital and analog inputs for both audio and video, the listening mode, and other advanced input settings.
INPUT
Selects between the twelve different inputs available. The input
selected in this parameter identifies the input that is currently being
setup or modified. Inputs can be scrolled through and modified
without leaving the input setup menu. However, most input setup
changes do not take affect until after the OSD menu is exited.
Note: Selecting a different input in the input setup menu will also change
the front panel input selection to match. For example, if the Tuner input is
selected on the front panel and you change the Input parameter to HD,
the front panel HD input is also selected.
Most of the inputs are interchangeable, with the exception of the
Dock and PC inputs. These two inputs are “hard-wired” and do not
allow for user selection of the Audio In parameters. For more infor-
mation on these two inputs, refer to Section 5: PC & Dock Controls.
Note: When a source is active, changing some audio or video parameters
may cause the Main Zone audio to briefly mute the incoming source. If
Zone 2 is set to DOWN MIX, the Zone 2 audio will also briefly mute.

Selects the VIDEO IN parameter, which assigns one of the rear panel
video input connectors to the current input. Available selections
include NONE, HDMI 1-2, Component 1-3, S-Video 1-4, and
Composite 1-4.
The HDMI Audio & Video inputs, HDMI 1 & HDMI 2, are mutually
exclusive inputs - only one input is available at a time for each input
location. For example, while setting up the DVD input, if HDMI 2 is
selected for the Video Input, then HDMI 1 is not a selectable option
for the Digital Audio Input.
V-PROCESS FAROUDJA, CONV ONLY, BYPASS
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.

INPUT SETUPSETUP V-PROCESS
MV-5 Setup
3-15
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.
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.
VIDEO OUT
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.

DIG AUDIO
Selects the DIG AUDIO parameter, which assigns one of the rear
panel digital audio input connectors to the current input. Available
selections include NONE, Optical 1-4, Coaxial 1-4, and HDMI 1-2.
The HDMI Audio & Video inputs, HDMI 1 & HDMI 2, are mutually
exclusive inputs - only one input is available at a time for each input
location. For example, while setting up the DVD input, if HDMI 2 is
selected for the Video Input, then HDMI 1 is not a selectable option
for the Digital Audio Input.
Note: Digital audio is not selectable for the PC and Dock inputs. Refer to
Section 5: PC & Dock Controls for more information.
ANLG AUDIO
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.
DIG/ANLG AUTO OFF, ON
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.
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.
MODE FAMILY LOGIC 7, DOLBY, DTS, DSP, STEREO
Identifies the Surround Mode Family that is initially applied to the
incoming audio streams for the currently selected input. Other
surround mode families may still be applied. For more information,
refer to the “Listening Modes” section found later in this chapter.
Note: The Mode Family and Modes are connected. The Modes are driven
by the Mode Family selection as well as by the incoming audio source. The
current running data stream dictates what Mode Family options are
available for selection.
MODE
Identifies the Listening Mode that is initially applied to the incoming
audio streams for the currently selected Mode Family. Other listening
modes may still be applied. For more information, refer to the

DEFAULT SUR STANDARD, USE LAST
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.
A/D SAMPLE RATE 48 KHZ, 96 KHZ
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.
A/V SYNC DELAY 0 TO 180 mS
Delays the audio until it matches the on-screen video. Select a value
to activate an audio signal delay to compensate for video that is
delayed relative to the audio. The A/V sync delay range is 0 to 180 ms
in 1 ms increments. Each input has an independent A/V Sync Delay
parameter.
ADVANCED VIDEO
Selects the ADVANCED VIDEO menu, which provides fine-tuning
adjustments to the video output. For more information, refer to the
next section, “Advanced Video”.
Note: Most of the Advanced Video parameters are only available when the
V-Process parameter is set to FAROUDJA.
TRIGGER 2 OFF, ON
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.
ZONE-2 OUT ANALOG, DOWN MIX
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.

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 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.
• 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.

Selecting the SETUP menu INPUT SETUP menu ADVANCED VIDEO option opens the ADVANCED VIDEO menu, a two-screen menu which
provides user-adjustable controls for sharpness, noise reduction, brightness, and other video fine-tuning.
Note: Most of the Advanced Video parameters are only available when the V-Process parameter is set to FAROUDJA.
INPUT TYPE
Identifies the type of device being used for the input source. Once
the selection is made, the advanced video settings will change to
default settings that are best suited for that type of device. Manual
changes to these settings may also be made. The input types
available for selection are:
• DVD – Use with the output signal of a typical DVD player.
• VCR – Use with the output signal of an analog videocassette
recorder.
• DIG CABLE – Use with digital cable set-top boxes. Even when a
digital cable system is in use, there may be a mix of digital and
analog channels. Start with this configuration and then change
the advanced video options as needed to tailor the output to
your preferences.
• DIG SAT – Use with digital satellite system set-top boxes.
• ANLG CABLE – Use with analog cable set-top boxes.
• ANLG SAT – Use with analog satellite system set-top boxes.
• DIG CAM – Use with digital camcorders or still-image cameras.
• ANLG CAM – Use with analog camcorders.
Refer to the table on the following page for the default video source
settings.
SHARPNESS 0 TO 100
Adjusts the degree to which the enhancement circuits that adjust the
high-frequency content of the signal are applied. The setting acts on
the vertical and horizontal as well as luminance and chrominance
parameters to offer an enhanced depth in the picture as well as
greater small object detail. In general, the lower settings are
applicable for digital displays and sources, while the higher settings
may be preferred for CRT-based displays and digital sources. The
Sharpness adjustment range is 0 to 100 in single increments.

Most of the following Advanced Video parameters are simple ON/OFF toggle switches that apply to each input independently.
NOISE REDUCTION OFF, ON
Reduces the video noise often present in analog input sources.
X-COLOR SUPPRESS OFF, ON
Reduces the cross-color interference that typically appears in
composite video sources as moire’ in finely detailed objects. Moire’
effect is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or
dots superimposed upon another set of lines or dots, where the sets
differ in relative size, angle, or spacing.
DCDi INTERPOL OFF, ON
Directional Correlation De-interlacing (DCDi) Interpolation is a
Faroudja technology that examines each pixel for the optimal
direction from which to interpolate the video information, with
regard to local edges. This adaptive process prevents the appearance
of staircasing and the jagged edges that are often visible with other
means of de-interlacing.
FILM DETECTION OFF, ON
Detects the presence of film-originated material so that the original
film-frame sequence may be recovered by weaving together the
appropriate video fields.

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.
The MV-5 process of signal identification and listening mode
selection is shown below:
DTS + DOLBY LISTENING MODES
When a DTS soundtrack is playing, the Mode Family menu for DTS
contains two options. The DTS selection provides the currently
available DTS listening modes. The Dolby selection contains two
additional listening modes: DTS + PLIIx Film and DTS + PLIIx Music.
Note: These DTS + Dolby listening modes are ONLY available when the
incoming data stream is DTS.

The following table provides a complete listing of the listening modes available for each of the incoming audio or video formats currently available.
Shaded cells indicate that there are no available modes in that Mode Family for that specific incoming data stream.
Note: The table identifies all of the possible formats, but depending upon the Input setup and the Surround Configuration of the MV-5, all of these modes may
not be available for selection .
**With PCM 5.1 audio input, one additional listening mode is available - the AUDIO STATUS menu indicates that the audio is PCM 3/2.1, the mode family is PCM MULTI, and the mode is
STANDARD, which applies only bass management and tone controls to the incoming PCM 5.1 audio.

LISTENING MODE DESCRIPTIONS
The following table provides a brief description of each listening mode.
Logic 7 Film
Logic 7 Music
A proprietary Lexicon technology, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded pro-
grams 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 spe-
cifically 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.
Dolby Digital 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.
Dolby Digital EX 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
Film
Music
Game
Pro Logic
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
Film
Music
Game
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
Reference
Wide
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.
DTS 5.1 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 effects channel.
DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix
DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete
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.
MV-5 Setup
3-27
DTS Neo:6 Cinema
DTS Neo:6 Music
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.
DTS Neo:6 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 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.
Hall 1 & Hall 2 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.
5-Channel Stereo
7-Channel Stereo
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.
2-Channel Stereo 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.
2-Channel Stereo
Bypass
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.
Note: This mode is only available when the Tone Controls are set to OFF.
Setup Lexicon
3-28
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
3-29
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.

selects the native format of the incoming signal as the default
listening mode. If set to ON, then all incoming audio signals are
defaulted to the Logic 7 listening modes.
Setting the Logic 7 Default to ON does not prevent other listening
modes from being available through the Mode buttons. Selecting

MODE PLII, PLIIx
Selects the MODE parameter, which chooses between the Dolby PLII
Music and Dolby PLIIx Music listening modes.
CENTER WIDTH 0 TO 7
Adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front soundstage
between the center and front left/right speakers. The higher settings
spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right
channels while a lower number produces a tigher center channel
presentation. The Center Width range is 0 to 7 in single increments.
DIMENSION R-1, R-2, R-3, O, F-1, F-2, F-3
Alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a
shallower presentation (F-1 to F-3) that appears to move the center
of the sound field towards the front of the room or a deeper
presentation (R-1 to R-3) that appears to move the sound field
towards the rear of the room.
PANORAMA OFF, ON
Appears to increase the sound presentation along the sides of the
room by extending the stereo image to include surround channel
signals, which enhances the sense of surround sound by creating a
“wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.
NIGHT OFF, MID, MAX
Adjusts the audio settings for Night mode. The Night mode uses
special processing to preserve the dynamic range and full intelligibility
of a movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. This prevents
abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the
sonic impact of a digital source. Use the MID setting for mild
compression and the MAX setting for more severe compression.

If the AUTOCAL process is performed and the settings are saved,
then the Auto EQ parameter identifies if the saved AUTOCAL
settings are being actively applied to the system. When the Auto EQ
parameter is OFF, the AUTOCAL settings are not applied.
Note: When the AUTO EQ parameter is set to OFF, the EQ ADJUST
parameter is also not applied.
EQ PRESET PRESET 1, PRESET 2, PRESET 3, USER
Identifies the three preset locations where the AUTOCAL settings
are saved, and displays the state of each preset (saved or unused).
The Active PS, or Active Preset, parameter identifies the preset
location that is currently active if the AUTO EQ parameter is set to
ON for any input. The Active Preset can be set to any of the three
saved preset locations.
The Preset locations cannot be selected and are present only to
identify the current state of each location. If the location indicates
“SET” then the preset location has AUTOCAL settings saved to it. If
the location indicates “FACTORY”, then the preset location has not
been used and remains at the default factory settings.
Note: If all three Preset locations indicate “FACTORY”, then the AUTOCAL
procedure has not yet been done, or at the least, the settings have not been
saved.
For more information on the AUTOCAL process, refer to Section 3:
Setup.

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® with Service Pack 4 or higher installed,
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® Version 8.0 and
above, but it is also compatible with many other popular players
such as iTunes®, WinAmp®, and Real Player®. Always verify that you
have the latest version of the player installed to ensure the best
compatibility and performance.
MV-5 PC & Dock Controls
5-3
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.
Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for
damage caused in this manner.
PLAYING PC MEDIA
Before selecting the PC input on the MV-5, make certain that
the media player has been opened on the computer and is
the “top” or active screen. The remote control PC input
commands will not operate the media player if it is minimized or
“behind” other programs.
You are now ready to begin playing music. The MV-5 remote
control or the computer media player program can be used to
control the play, pause, skip forward, and skip back features of the
media player.
Using the MV-5 remote control:
• Page 4 of the “Lex” touch screen menu provides media player
controls for use with the PC input.
•The PC|| option mimics the Pause/Play control. If the playlist
is not active, pressing this option starts the playlist. If the
playlist is already playing, then pressing this option pauses it.
•The PC- option mimics the Skip Back control. Pressing this
option causes the media player to skip back a track in the
playlist.
•The PC+ option mimics the Skip Forward control. Pressing this
option causes the media player to skip forward a track in the
playlist.
Once playback is started, the audio from a USB source is treated the
same as any other 2-channel audio source, and you may apply any
of the appropriate surround processing modes.
Note: Whenever the USB jack is connected to the computer, the RV-5 will be
selected as the sound card for the computer, even while the MV-5 is in
Standby.

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.
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.
Press buttons when inserting or removing the plug.
MV-5 PC & Dock Controls
5-5
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:
Note: The name of the iPod is always included as the first playlist.

the menu items as they are scrolled through, as shown:
Note: The allotted space for iPod navigation descriptions is 14 characters. If
a menu item is longer that this limitation, the displayed name is simply cut
off at the 14-character point.
When a song is playing, the bottom of the 2-line display identifies
the track counter, the time left on the song, and whether the song
is in PLAY or PAUSE mode. The top left side of the display
continuously scrolls through the song title, artist, and album title, as
shown:
CONTROLLING THE iPOD WITH THE MV-5
To control the iPod once it is docked and connected to the MV-5,
use the remote control. Page 3 of the “LEX” menu layer of the
remote control touch screen is devoted to controlling the iPod.
Note: The following functionality is available only if there is a valid device
connected to the DOCK connector on the rear panel and the DOCK input
has been selected.
Using the MV-5 remote control:
• Page 3 of the “Lex” touch screen menu provides iPod controls
for use with the DOCK input.
• The IPOD- option mimics the Skip Back control. Pressing this
option causes the iPod to skip back a track in the playlist.
• The IPOD+ option mimics the Skip Forward control. Pressing
this option causes the iPod to skip forward a track in the
playlist.
•The CLIKoption mimics a counter-clockwise click on the
iPod.
•The CLIKoption mimics a clockwise click on the iPod.
• The MENU option mimics the MENU button on the iPod. The
Menu button backs out of the menu structure, one level at a
time, each time it is pressed.
• The SEL option mimics the SELECT button on the iPod. The
SELECT button acts as a play button at the song level. The
select button drills deeper into the menu structure, one level a
time, each time it’s pressed.
•The|| options mimic the Pause/Play control of the iPod. If the
playlist is not active, pressing either of these options starts the
playlist. If the playlist is already playing, then pressing this
option pauses it.
CHARGING THE iPOD
You may leave your iPod in the Dock even when you are not using
it as a playback source. Whenever the iPod is docked and the MV-5

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.
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.
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.
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
6-3
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.
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.
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.
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.
To change the CONNECTION parameter:
1. Enter the OSD menu by pressing MENU on the remote control.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Using the PC input, the remote control commands on page 4 of
the LEX menu and page 2 of the ZONE 2 menu do not work.
1. Make sure that the computer is properly connected to the USB
input of the MV-5 Processor.
2. Make sure that PC is selected as the active input on the MV-5
Processor.
3. Make sure that the media player has been opened on the
computer and is playing audio.
4. Make sure the media player is the “top” or active screen on the
computer. The MV-5 remote control will not operate the media
player if it is minimized or “behind” other programs.
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.
Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for
damage caused in this manner.
The iPod does not play or respond to commands from the MV-5
remote control.
1. Make sure that the Dock is properly connected to the MV-5
Processor.
2. Make sure that the Dock is selected as the active input on the
MV-5 Processor.
3. Make sure that the touch screen of the MV-5 remote control is
in an iPod control page of the “LEX” or “ZONE 2” menu layer.
The iPod’s front panel display and controls do not operate
when the iPod is docked and the DOCK input is selected as the
MV-5’s active input.
This is normal behavior and does not indicate a problem with the
iPod, the Dock, or the MV-5 Processor. Use the MV-5 remote
control to navigate the iPod functions. Refer to Section 5: PC & Dock
Controls, for further information.
The iPod does not seem to be functioning correctly.
Verify the video input setting of the Dock input in use. If the video
input is set to an HDMI input source, the functionality of the iPod
may be hindered.
If all else fails...
1. Document all user-defined settings on the Installation
Worksheet that begins on page D-2. Then, refer to the
“Restoring Factory Default Settings” section found later in this
chapter to reset the MV-5 to the factory settings.
Note: If you want to save your settings before restoring the
factory defaults, you must save them manually. The Instal-
lation Worksheet in Appendix D has been provided to assist
you.

VIDEO RESOLUTIONS TABLE
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:
The following notes refer to the “Note” column in the table.
1. If the incoming HDMI signal is copy-protected (HDCP), all
analog video output is blocked. All the available outputs that
may be affected by copy protection are noted in the table by a
double asterix (**).
2. If the incoming analog video signal is Macrovision protected, a
form of copy protection for analog sources, then the component
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.
4. The difference between BYPASS and CONVERSION options is
where the video encoder is used (CONVERSION) or not
(BYPASS) when the S-video or composite video input is selected.
In CONVERSION mode, digital video from the analog input is
provided to the video encoder and the S-video and composite
video outputs are encoded. In BYPASS mode, the analog input
signal goes to the video output directly, with no encoding.

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 bat-
teries 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.

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 but-
tons 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.
Appendix C Lexicon
C-4
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.
1. 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.
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.
MV-5 Appendix C
C-5
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

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.

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.
Appendix C Lexicon
C-6
• 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

changes to “CLONE” and the bottom of the screen flashes
“SELECT BUTTON”. A new screen now displays with the options:
SEND, RECV, and EXIT.
Touching the EXIT option will leave the menu without making
any changes or triggering the cloning process.
3. Line up the “master” remote control with the “slave” remote
control, head-to-head, one or two inches apart.
4. On the “slave” remote, touch the RECV option. The SEND/RECV
options are replaced with “START” and the bottom of the touch
screen flashes “PRESS START”.
5. On the “master” remote, touch the SEND option. The SEND/RECV
options are replaced with “START” and the bottom of the touch
screen flashes “PRESS START”.
6. First on the “slave” remote and then on the ”master” remote,
touch the START option to begin the cloning process.
Note: Cloning typically takes about 40 seconds. After a successful
cloning is complete, the newly cloned remote will flash “GOOD”.
7. When finished, 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.
Setting System Volume Control & Other Punch Throughs:
The MV-5 remote control provides the option of setting up the volume
control over all of the components in your home theater system, even
with components that don’t have their own built-in volume controls,
such as TiVo. This is a very powerful feature as, once it’s setup, it will
save you the constant hassle and inconvenience of switching between
component modes to individually adjust volume controls. This feature
is called a “Punch Through” and is not limited to strictly volume
control. Follow the instructions to set the system volume control. Then
see the note following the instructions to learn what other punch
through features are available.
1. Since a home theater system may use the MV-5 for its sound
source, first you must identify which component you want to use
for the system sound/volume control.
2. 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
Appendix C Lexicon
C-12
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.
3. Touch the PUNCH option to setup the system volume control. The
menu name changes to “PUNCH” and the bottom of the screen
flashes “SELECT BUTTON”. A new screen now displays with the
options: VOL, PLAY, CH, and VOD.
4. Touch the VOL (Volume) option. The menu name changes to
“VOL” and the component options are displayed. The VOL option
sets up the group of three buttons - Volume Up, Volume Down,
and Mute - all in one action.
The bottom of the touch screen flashes “PUNCH TO”. Touch
the option for the component that doesn’t have volume control
commands yet (like the DVD). This is the component you are
going to PUNCH TO for the volume and mute commands.
Note: If you want to PUNCH TO the MAIN component, press the
POWER OFF button at this time.
5. The bottom of the display will then flash “PUNCH FROM”. Now
select the MAIN component that has the volume commands that
you want to use (for example, “LEX” for the MV-5 Processor). The
bottom of the touch screen flashes “SAVED”.
6. Repeats Steps 4 & 5 to add all of the components that you’d like
to control through the system volume control.
7. When finished, 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.
The Punch Through feature is NOT limited to volume and can also be
applied to channel selection and other functions. If you find yourself
switching to a particular component frequently to use a group of
controls, consider using Punch Through for another group. The
available punch through features, and the controls that the punch
through operates, are:
• VOL - Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute
• CH - Channel Up, Channel Down, Previous Channel, and
Channel (0 to 9 Number Keypad) buttons
• PLAY - Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind, and Fast Forward
• VOD - Guide, Menu, Info, Exit, Up, Down, Left, Right, and
Select
To set any of the other punch through features, perform the Steps for
the System Volume control, but in Step 4, touch the desired alternate
control option (CH, PLAY, or VOD).
Hiding and Adding Pages:
Each of the component touch screen menus actually contains five
pages. However, in most cases, only two to four pages are visible in the
factory default settings; the rest of the menu pages are hidden. If you
wish to use the hidden pages, you can ADD them. If you don’t want to
use some of the existing pages, you can HIDE them. Follow the
instructions below to add or hide pages in both the component and
favorite menus.
1. 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.
2. Touch the EDIT option to add and hide touch screen menu pages.
The menu name changes to “EDIT” and the bottom of the screen
flashes “SELECT BUTTON”.
A new screen now displays with the options: TEXT, PAGE, and
EXIT. Touching the EXIT option will leave the menu without
saving any changes.
MV-5 Appendix C
C-13
Note: The TEXT option allows the text of each menu to be changed.
Refer to the “Customizing the Touch Screen” procedure, found earlier
in this chapter, for instructions.
3. Touch the PAGE option. The menu name changes to “PAGE” and
the component options are displayed. The bottom of the touch
screen flashes “SELECT”.
4. Navigate to the menu and page that you want to HIDE or ADD.
When you select a page, the top of the screen indicates whether
you want to “ADD?” or “HIDE?” the displayed page.
5. When you’re ready to change a page’s visibility, to ADD or HIDE it,
press the LIGHT button.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to ADD or HIDE any menu pages desired on
other components or the favorites pages.
7. When finished, 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.
ERASING COMMANDS
You can erase an individual button with a learned command, a macro,
or a favorite channel. You can erase an ENTIRE component’s learned
command or macro buttons. You can also erase ALL of your learned
commands on ALL components, or all your macros and favorite
channels everywhere.
Note: To erase everything and return the remote control to its factory
default settings, refer to the “Restoring Factory Default Settings”
procedure, which follows this secton.
1. 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.
2. Touch the ERASE option to erase learned buttons, macros, or
favorite channels. The menu name changes to “ERASE” and the
bottom of the screen flashes “SELECT BUTTON”.
A new screen now displays with the options: LEARN, FAV,
MACRO, and EXIT. Touching the EXIT option will leave the
menu without making any changes.
3. Touch either the LEARN, MACRO, or FAV option. A new screen
now displays with the following options:
ALL - Erases ALL of the specified LEARNED, MACRO, or FAV
buttons everywhere in the remote.
DEVICE - Erases all the LEARNED or MACRO buttons in a
SINGLE component. This option is not available for FAV
(Favorite) channels since they are not tied specifically to a
component.
KEY - Erases one button only.
4. If you touch ALL, the remote will prompt you by displaying
“SURE?”. After the SURE prompt is touched, all the buttons will be
erased.
5. If you touch DEVICE, a list of component options are displayed.
Touch the component option that you wish to erase. The bottom
of the screen will flash “ERASE” twice, then “ERASED”.
6. If you touch KEY, you’ll need to navigate to the component that
you want. Touch a button to erase it. The bottom of the screen will
flash “ERASE” twice, then “ERASED”.
7. When finished, 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.
Appendix C Lexicon
C-14
RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
If you’re afraid you’ve accidently overwritten functions that you
wanted, or want a “clean-slate” to start from, the remote control can
be reset to its factory default settings. Follow the instructions below to
restore the factory default settings.
Note: Restoring the Factory Default Settings will ERASE all customized
features, including renamed components, learned buttons, and
macros.
1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and STOP
buttons at the same time. The bottom of the touch screen flashes
“WARNING!”.
NOTE: You now have 3 seconds to perform the next step. If a button
is not pressed within 3 seconds, the RESET heading will revert to
MAIN, indicating that the remote control is no longer in Reset mode. If
this occurs, you will need to repeat this step to re-enter the Reset
mode.
2. After about 10 seconds, “RESET” is displayed in the Menu name
section at the top of the LCD touch screen.
A new screen now displays with three options: ALL, PROG, and
EXIT. Touching the EXIT option will leave the menu without
making any changes.
3. Touch the ALL option. The remote will prompt you by displaying
“SURE?”. After the SURE prompt is touched, the factory default
settings are restored.
4. When the remote is done restoring the factory default settings, the
menu heading reverts to MAIN. When the touch screen displays
MAIN in the menu heading area, then the remote control is in
normal operation mode again.
OPTIONAL 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 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.
Note: The Lexicon remote control radio signals will not control components
directly. You must have the RF-1 Receiver installed to receive the remote’s
radio signals. Components that came with “no pointing” radio remote
controls cannot be operated by the Lexicon remote unless the component
can be switched to standard IR via its internal menus. Some remote
control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Lexicon
remote.
