RV-5

UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES

The RV-5 features two zones of operation: the Main Zone and Zone
2. The Main Zone controls audio and video signals in the primary
listening space. Zone 2 controls digital and analog audio and
composite or S-Video signals for a second zone or recording device.
The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:
1. The same Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input source can be simul-
taneously selected for the Main Zone and Zone 2. However,
different Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input sources cannot be
present in the Main Zone and Zone 2.
2. Zone 2 can provide a 2-channel downmix of Main Zone multi-
channel audio when all of the following conditions are met:
• The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and
Zone 2.
• A Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES) or 5.1a input source must be
present in the Main Zone.
• The INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN parameter must be set to
DMIX. See "ZONE2 in Parameter Settings" on page 3-22 for
more information.
3. The Zone 2 audio output connectors will receive Front L/R when
a 5.1a source is present in the Main Zone and the ZONE2 IN
parameter is set to ANLG.
4. When 5.1a BYPASS or 2-CH BYPASS is selected, a downmix to
Zone 2 is not available.

TWO-LINE STATUS

The two-line status opens in the on-screen and front-panel displays
whenever the RV-5 detects a change in input source or listening mode.
The Main Zone two-line status appears when the RV-5 detects a Main
Zone change, and the Zone 2 (or Zone 3) two-line status appears
when a Zone 2 (or Zone 3) status change is detected.
The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu STATUS parameter is used to
control the length of time the two-line status appears in the on-
screen display. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu POSITION
parameter is used to control the vertical alignment of the two-line
status in the display device screen.
Note:
When the display device is connected to a component video output
connector and the MAIN ADV menu COMPONENT OSD parameter is set
to OFF, the on-screen display does not appear on the associated display.
MAIN ZONE TWO-LINE STATUS
Opens in the on-screen and front-panel
displays whenever the RV-5 detects a Main
Zone status change. The Main Zone two-line
status indicates the current input, input source, listening mode and
volume level selected in the Main Zone.
ZONE 2 TWO-LINE STATUS
Opens in the on-screen and front-panel displays
whenever the RV-5 detects a Zone 2 status
change. The Zone 2 two-line status indicates the
current input, input source and volume level selected in Zone 2.
