RV-8 Basic Operation
2-3
1 FRONT-PANEL DISPLAY
Use the front-panel display to view the current input, listening
mode, input source and volume level. If the built-in tuner is active,
the display will show the frequency, band, listening mode and
volume level. The 2 x 20 character display also functions as a display
for messages and menus, one line at a time.
Note:
Power is still supplied to the RV-8 when standby mode is activated.
2 IR RECEIVER
The IR receiver receives infrared commands from the RV-8 remote
control. There are three associated LEDs.
• The amber LED blinks when a remote control command is
received.
• The red LED lights when the A/D converters are overloading.
• The blue LED lights when the RV-8 is powered on and activated
– even if the FRONT PANEL DISPLAY menu STATUS parameter is
set to ALWAYS OFF.
3 VOLUME KNOB
Use the volume knob to adjust volume level in all Zones.
To adjust the Main Zone volume level:
Rotate the volume knob clockwise to increase
or counterclockwise to decrease volume level
in 1dB increments. A horizontal bar graph
indicating the current Main Zone volume level is displayed in the
on-screen and front-panel displays. The Main Zone volume range is
–80 to +12dB.
To adjust the Zone 2 or Zone 3 volume level:
1. Press and hold the front-panel Zone 2 or Zone 3 input selection
button that corresponds with the current input source. For
instance, if the current input source is using the DVD1 input, press
and hold the DVD1 input selection button in the desired zone.
2. While holding the desired zone input
selection button, rotate the volume knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to
decrease volume level in 1dB increments.
The corresponding horizontal graph
appears in the on-screen and front-panel
displays, and indicates the position at which the current Zone 2 or
Zone 3 volume level falls within the –80 to +12dB volume range.
3. Release the selected Zone 2 input selection button when Zone 2
or Zone 3 volume level has been set.
Note:
When RV-8 output levels have been properly calibrated, the +0dB volume
level setting corresponds to THX reference levels (75dB).
