Basic Operation
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.
