REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The RV-5 remote control provides full operation of the RV-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
over vie w of t he remote contro l. For detailed operation/

Appendix C.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following factors can improve or impede remote control
operation.
Note the following before operating the RV-5 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-5. Placing the RV-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 compo-
nents at the same time.
• Remote-control batteries should be replaced as needed.
