HEADPHONE OVERVIEW
Headphones can be connected to the RV-8 via the Headphone
output on the front panel. The headphone output follows the signal
selected in the Main Zone. If the Main Zone source is multichannel,
a downmix of the source is sent to the headphone output. LOGIC7
headphone processing is also available for stereo or multichannel
sources. To listen to a stereo source without enhanced processing,
set the 2-CH parameter in the INPUT SETUP menu to the
2-CHANNEL listening mode. When headphones are plugged into
the headphone output, all amplifier outputs are muted (including
outputs 3 and 7, unless they are assigned to Zone 2 or Zone 3). The
Main Zone preamplifier outputs are also muted. Preamplifier
outputs for Zone 2 and Zone 3 remain unmuted. Use the front-
panel volume knob or the remote-control Volume Up/Down
buttons to adjust the headphone output level.
When the headphones are plugged into the headphone output, the
volume defaults to the HEADPHONE parameter value selected in
the VOLUME CONTROL SETUP menu. When the headphones are
unplugged, the volume defaults to the value of the MAIN PWR ON
parameter in the VOLUME CONTROL SETUP menu. See page 6-34
for headphone listening mode descriptions.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The RV-8 remote control provides full operation of the RV-8,
including commands, such as menu navigation, that are not
available from the front panel. It is also designed to provide control
for the entire home theater system. This section provides a brief
over view of the remo te control. For detailed operation/
programming instructions and manufacturing codes, refer to
Appendix C.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following factors can improve or impede remote control
operation.
Note the following before operating the RV-8 remote control:
• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front-panel
IR receiver. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control
and the IR receiver. The remote control may become unreliable
if strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the IR receiver.
• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a
30-degree angle no more than 40 to 60 feet (12.2m to 18.3m)
from the RV-8. Placing the RV-8 inside a smoked glass cabinet
will reduce the remote control range.
• Remote controls for different components can interfere with
one another. Avoid using remote controls for different compo-
nents at the same time.
• Remote-control batteries should be replaced as needed.
