12. If you will be using a video display, turn it on at this point, and make certain that it is switched
to the video input that matches the connection jack used.
13. To turn on the 5.0, press either the Watch button on the front panel or remote if you wish to use
the video sources, or the Listen button if you wish to use one of the audio-only sources. The green
indicator on the front panel will go out, and be replaced by a soft blue illumination behind the word
on the front panel. The two-line front panel display will also illuminate. A sign-on
menu will appear on the video display for a few seconds, followed by a Watch Programs or
Listen Programs listing.
• If you are using a Citation power amplifier, or another compatible amplifier connected to the
Trig 1 Trigger jack, it will receive a turn-on signal when the Watch or Listen button is pressed.
Note that with many amplifiers there will be a short, intentional delay between the turn-on signal
and when the amplifier sends signals to the speakers. This is a normal function designed to prevent
damage to your speakers.
• If you are using a conventional amplifier not controlled by the 5.0’s trigger output, turn it on at
least 10 seconds AFTER the 5.0 is turned on.
14. When the Watch or Listen Programs lists are on the screen, press the
⁄
or
¤
button on
the remote until the desired source is highlighted. Then press the Watch or Listen button again to
select that source.
15. The selected source will now be heard through your system, and an informational display will
appear at the bottom of your video display. You may adjust the volume at any time by using the
Vol – or Vol + buttons on the remote or front panel, or temporarily silence the speaker output by
pressing the Mute button. To select another source, press the Watch or Listen button and follow the
instructions in Step 14, above.
16. When you are finished with a listening session, press the Standby button on the front panel or
in the upper right corner of the remote. The front panel display and blue will go
out, and the green indicator will come back on, to remind you that the 5.0 is in the Standby mode,
ready to work again whenever you press the Watch or Listen buttons.
At this point you are “on the air!” Sit back and enjoy the best in home entertainment.
Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Although you have successfully completed a minimal
installation we strongly recommend that you take time to read the rest of this Owner’s Manual
thoroughly. It will show you how to use the many features, modes and controls that are a vital part
of the Citation 5.0. Correct setup and installation is important to optimizing the sound quality of
your new controller, and will also make it easier to operate. A few minutes spent reading this manual
and making certain that your 5.0 is set up to meet the individual characteristics of your system and
listening room will enable your 5.0 to deliver the optimum performance of which it is capable.
