TROUBLESHOOTING
The MV-5 does not power on.
1. Make sure the rear panel power switch is set to the ON
position.
2. Attempt to power on the MV-5 with the front panel Standby
button and remote control ON button.
3. Examine the power cord to ensure a good connection between
the rear panel AC input connector and the wall outlet.
4. Check the electrical circuit and breaker.
The remote control does not work.
1. Make sure that the remote control touch screen is in the “LEX”
or “Zone 2” menu layers. The remote control is a universal
control designed to operate all of the home theater equipment
in your system. In order to control the MV-5, the remote
control must be in the “LEX” or “Zone 2” menu layers.
2. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control and the
front panel IR receiver. When the rear panel IR IN connector is
not in use, the remote control must be in line of sight with the
front panel IR receiver for proper operation. The remote control
might also become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent
light is shining on the MV-5’s IR receiver.
3. Make sure the remote control batteries are correctly inserted
with the proper polarity.
4. Replace the remote control batteries. When the batteries are
low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage
condition that prevents it from operating the MV-5.
5. If using the optional RF-1 Receiver, ensure that it is properly
connected to the MV-5 rear panel.
The MV-5 is powered on, but there is no audio.
1. Make sure that the source device is powered on, playing audio,
and set to the right output connector.
2. Make sure the volume level is audible. Volume level can be
adjusted with the front panel volume knob or the remote
control VOL and buttons.
3. Make sure the audio has not been muted. The message “MUTE
ON” is displayed on the on-screen and front panel displays
when audio has been muted in the Main Zone. In addition, the
MUTE button on the front panel lights red when the Main Zone
mute is active and green when the Zone 2 mute is active. If
both Zones are muted, the Mute button lights amber. To
deactivate mute, press the MUTE button or adjust the volume
level.
4. Verify that all rear panel input and output connections are
correct.
5. Check the INPUT SETUP menu DIG AUDIO and ANLG AUDIO
parameters to ensure the appropriate audio connector is assigned
to the selected input.
6. Verify that the incoming audio signal is compatible with the input
chosen.
Note: The rear panel input connectors marked S/PDIF INPUTS (RCA
& TOSLINK connectors) are not compatible with MP3 sources.
The Subwoofer(s) distorts frequently.
The likely cause for the subwoofer(s) to distort is either an
incorrectly set output level or the subwoofer high-pass filter is set
too low. Verify that the SUB/LFE LPF setting (subwoofer cross-over
point) is set correctly. If correct, try setting the SUB HPF setting to a
higher value to resolve the issue. Refer to Section 3: Setup for more
information.

MV-5 Troubleshooting & Maintenance
6-3
A humming sound is present in the audio.
1. If a cable TV connection is present, disconnect the cable from
the wall outlet. If this eliminates the humming sound, a ground
loop isolation device is required. Contact your dealer or cable
provider for assistance.
2. Disconnect components one at a time to isolate the problem.
Once the problem is identified, make sure the associated
component is properly grounded and connected to the same
electrical circuit as the MV-5 Processor.
RF interference is present in the audio or video.
1. Make sure the MV-5 is not positioned too close to RF-emitting
devices.
2. Move such items one at a time to isolate which device is
causing the problem.
3. Replace unshielded cables with shielded cables wherever
possible.
Audio sounds distorted when using analog audio inputs.
The likely cause for distorted audio while using the analog audio
inputs is that the input voltage is too high. The MV-5 analog inputs
have a maximum rating of 2 Vrms. Any input voltages higher than
this limit will exhibit audible distortion.
To correct the problem, reduce the analog audio output from the
connected device using the volume or level control. If neither is
available, an intermediate device may be required. Contact your
Lexicon dealer for assistance.
In the SEMI AUTOCAL Test, the Far Field Test keeps failing.
1. Ensure that the microphone is placed in your preferred seating
location.
2. Ensure that the volume is set to -20dB.
3. In the Speakers Menu, ensure that none of the speakers
connected to the system have a cross-over selection of NONE.
During the Far Field Test, test tones are sent to ALL speaker
locations, regardless of the settings identified in the Speakers
menu. Therefore, every speaker that is plugged in MUST have
a cross-over setting other than NONE for the Far Field test to be
successul. If a cross-over is set to NONE but the speaker is
plugged in, the test will fail because it will “see” a speaker that
is identified as having no cross-over point.
4. Refer to the “AUTOCAL Error Messages” section found later in
this chapter for more information about specific error messages
related to the AUTOCAL process.
The volume won’t go to the +10 dB maximum level.
The speaker output level settings may affect the maximum volume
level of the MV-5 Processor. The maximum volume level is +10 dB
minus the maximum output level setting of any speaker. Thus, if
your front L/R output levels are set to +3 dB, the maxium allowable
volume level is +10 dB minus 3 dB, or +7 dB.
The picture on the video monitor is all one color.
This is a synchonization problem when using HDMI. When the
source device and video monitor do not sync correctly, the
color spacing may not load correctly. When the monitor color
is all red, or all green, it means that only half of the color
spacing data was loaded into the video monitor.
To correct the problem, simply enter the OSD menu and then exit
out again. This will resync the video and should clear the error.

The MV-5 is powered on, but there is no video.
1. Examine the video cables – particularly the S-Video cables –
to ensure a good connection to the associated component.
2. Check the INPUT SETUP menu VIDEO IN parameter to ensure
the appropriate video connector is assigned to the selected
input.
3. Set the V-PROCESS parameter to BYPASS. This setting doesn’t
apply any video processing and outputs the signal in the same
resolution and format as the incoming signal.
4. Refer to the “Video Error Messages” section found later in this
chapter for more information about specific video-related error
messages.
5. Verify that the selected output is not analog with a HDCP
(High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) input source.
Source material that carries HDCP encoding is only available
through the HDMI output. No video is output on the analog
output connectors.
6. Verify that the input type selected on the video monitor
matches the selected output on the MV-5.
Video is shifted to the left.
When the MV-5 has both component and HDMI cables connected to
a video monitor with the Faroudja processing active, the Faroudja
processing may cause the video to shift to the left when the
component output is selected, particularly at higher resolution
settings.
To correct the issue, change the Display CONNECTION parameter
from HDMI/DVI to ANALOG, or unplug the HDMI cable.
To change the CONNECTION parameter:
1. Enter the OSD menu by pressing MENU on the remote control.
2. Use the or cursors to highlight SETUP and then press the
cursor, or press the SELECT button, to select the menu
option.
3. Using the cursors, highlight and select DISPLAY SETUP.
4. Then select CONNECTION. The parameter selection starts to
flash.
5. Use the or cursors to select ANALOG and then press the
cursor to save the selection.
6. Press EXIT to close the OSD menu.
The MV-5 is exhibiting erratic behavior.
1. Change to a different input, then return to the original input.
This may clear the discrepency.
2. Put the MV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take
the MV-5 out of Standby mode.
3. Set the rear panel power switch of the MV-5 to the OFF
position. Wait 10 seconds. Then set the rear panel power switch
to the ON position.
4. With the MV-5’s rear panel power switch set to OFF, power-cycle
all other devices that are connected to the MV-5, such as DVD &
CD players, projectors, and monitors. When finished, restore
power to the MV-5 by setting the rear panel power switch to the
ON position and then taking the MV-5 out of Standby mode.
5. If the steps above do not resolve the behavior, document all
user-defined settings on the Installation Worksheet that begins
on page D-2. Then, follow the instructions found later in this
chapter to restore factory default settings.

VIDEO IN is set to NONE, but the monitor has a video error, or
is showing a blue screen.
When the VIDEO IN parameter is set to NONE, the MV-5 outputs a
blue screen at 480i resolution. This blue screen cannot be disabled.
If the monitor does not support 480i resolution, the monitor may
display an error message.
Note: This condition can also exist when the VIDEO IN parameter
has been setup, but there is no active incoming signal.
The 2-line OSD display does not appear on the video monitor.
• Verify that the 2-line OSD parameter under the Setup -> Display
Setup -> On-Screen Display menu is not set to OFF.
• Verify the video input source. The 2-line OSD is supported only
at 480i and 576i resolutions when the incoming video source is
digital.
While using HDMI connections, the video monitor is behaving
oddly.
Connecting together all the components of your home theater
system with HDMI depends upon every piece of equipment
functioning in synchronization. If the timing of any one piece is out
of sync, then odd results can occur. For example, an out-of-sync
source might cause incorrect colors to appear on the screen, or to
shift all of the video to the left or towards the top of the screen. If
the video monitor sync is off, it might load the color spacing
incorrectly so that the screen appears to be all one color, instead of
displaying normal color. In short, an out-of-sync signal can cause a
number of very odd results.
To correct the problem, the system needs to resync, which should
clear the error. Some out-of-sync issues are easier to clear than
others. Typically, power cycling the MV-5 will clear it, but some
sync issues don’t need a power cycle to re-sync correctly. We
suggest that you try the following:
1. Enter the OSD menu and then exit out again. This will resync
the video.
2. Put the MV-5 into Standby mode. Wait 10 seconds. Then take
the MV-5 out of Standby mode.
3. Power cycle the MV-5 by turning off the rear panel power
switch, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn the rear panel
power switch to the ON position.
4. With the MV-5’s rear panel power switch set to OFF, power-cycle
all other devices that are connected to the MV-5, such as DVD &
CD players, projectors, and monitors. When finished, restore
power to the MV-5 by setting the rear panel power switch to the
ON position and then taking the MV-5 out of Standby mode.
The MV-5 is connected via USB to the PC but the computer is
playing with the sound card, not the MV-5.
This condition may exist if the media player was already active
when the USB cable was connected between the computer and the
MV-5 Processor. With the media player actively playing, it may not
“see” the USB connection. Close the media player, check the cable
connections, and then launch the media player again. Now it
should see the USB connection and switch control to the MV-5.

Using the PC input, the remote control commands on page 4 of
the LEX menu and page 2 of the ZONE 2 menu do not work.
1. Make sure that the computer is properly connected to the USB
input of the MV-5 Processor.
2. Make sure that PC is selected as the active input on the MV-5
Processor.
3. Make sure that the media player has been opened on the
computer and is playing audio.
4. Make sure the media player is the “top” or active screen on the
computer. The MV-5 remote control will not operate the media
player if it is minimized or “behind” other programs.
CAUTION!
Do NOT power cycle the computer while connected to the
MV-5 with the PC input selected. The computer MUST be
on and connected to the MV-5 rear panel USB jack BEFORE
selecting the PC input on the MV-5. Selecting the PC
input first may cause a burst of loud noise that may be
damaging to the speakers or the listener’s hearing.
Harman Specialty Group assumes no responsibility for
damage caused in this manner.
The iPod does not play or respond to commands from the MV-5
remote control.
1. Make sure that the Dock is properly connected to the MV-5
Processor.
2. Make sure that the Dock is selected as the active input on the
MV-5 Processor.
3. Make sure that the touch screen of the MV-5 remote control is
in an iPod control page of the “LEX” or “ZONE 2” menu layer.
The iPod’s front panel display and controls do not operate
when the iPod is docked and the DOCK input is selected as the
MV-5’s active input.
This is normal behavior and does not indicate a problem with the
iPod, the Dock, or the MV-5 Processor. Use the MV-5 remote
control to navigate the iPod functions. Refer to Section 5: PC & Dock
Controls, for further information.
The iPod does not seem to be functioning correctly.
Verify the video input setting of the Dock input in use. If the video
input is set to an HDMI input source, the functionality of the iPod
may be hindered.
If all else fails...
1. Document all user-defined settings on the Installation
Worksheet that begins on page D-2. Then, refer to the
“Restoring Factory Default Settings” section found later in this
chapter to reset the MV-5 to the factory settings.
Note: If you want to save your settings before restoring the
factory defaults, you must save them manually. The Instal-
lation Worksheet in Appendix D has been provided to assist
you.
2. Contact an authorized Lexicon dealer.
