• To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a ﬁrm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

• Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufﬁcient air movement within the cabinet. Consult with your dealer or installer for more information.

• Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

• Avoid installing the 5.0 in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

• Avoid moist or humid locations.

• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dr y cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. DO

NOT use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the ﬁnish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide

near the unit.

Safety Information

Quick-Start Connection and Setup

Quick-Start Instructions

Note: These are the minimum hook-up connections required to install a Citation 5.0. In order to

obtain the maximum beneﬁt from the 5.0’s many features and to ensure correct connections, please follow the detailed connection, setup and conﬁguration instructions in this manual.

1. First, please make certain that ALL electronic equipment, including any ampliﬁers, source equipment and, of course, your Citation 5.0 are unplugged from AC power outlets. Many audio/video devices contain automatic turn-on circuits which may be triggered during the setup process. Disconnecting them until they are required is a good safety habit that will also reduce the possibility of damage to your components due to unintended turn-on.

2. Using high-quality interconnect cables, connect the video, analog audio and digital audio outputs of your source equipment to the Citation 5.0 according to the locations shown on the chart on the next page. While the great ﬂexibility of the 5.0 makes it possible to connect source gear in an almost unlimited number of combinations, using these presets will simplify getting started. You may always add additional equipment or change connection locations later, following the instructions found in this manual. When connecting tape recorders, remember to use the “Play/Out” jacks on the recorder for connection to the 5.0’s inputs.

3. Connect the Rec A Audio Output of the 5.0 to the “Rec/In” input of the audio recorder or VCR that will be used to record the output of the 5.0. Connect the Rec A Video Output to the composite video input of a VCR that will be used to record the output of the 5.0.

4. Connect the Main Composite Video Output on the 5.0 to the Video In jack on your TV monitor or other video display device. A connection from the Main S-Video Output on the 5.0 to the S-video input on your video display may also be made if you will use S-video sources at a later time.

5. Using high-quality audio interconnect cables, connect the Audio Outputs of the 5.0 to the matching input connection on your ampliﬁer. Note that the 5.0’s preset default is for Citation or Fosgate•Audionics Dual Drive dipole surround speakers. If you are using standard surround speakers you will need to make an adjustment at the Speaker Setup menu, as detailed on pages 32–33 of this manual.

Quick-Star t Instructions

6. Connect the Subwoofer Outputs to the line-level input of powered subwoofers, or to the ampliﬁer that will power passive subwoofers. Note that the 5.0 is shipped for use with stereo subwoofers as a factory default. If you are using stereo subwoofers, be certain to connect them to the Sub

Outputs

at the far side of the output jack ﬁeld. If you are using only one subwoofer, connect it to the Mono Sub jack. If one or no subwoofers are installed, please note that you will have to make an adjustment to the Speaker Setup menu, as described on page 34 of this manual.

7. If a Citation power ampliﬁer, or other compatible power ampliﬁer with 12-volt turn-on trigger circuits will be used, connect the Trig 1 Trigger jack on the 5.0 to the Trigger Input on the ampliﬁer using a connection cord with mono 3.5mm mini-plugs at both ends. Follow the switch setting instructions for the ampliﬁers, if any, as detailed in the ampliﬁer owner’s manual.

Important Note: To avoid unwanted hum and noise, be careful to keep audio connections, par-

ticularly those for ampliﬁers, separated from AC power cords. Do not coil extra lengths in either audio interconnects or speaker cables.

8. Connect all speakers to the ampliﬁers in accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufacturers. Make certain that all speaker connections are made with special attention to proper polarity.

9. Install four AAA batteries in the remote. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote by sliding the cover down and towards you. Be careful to install the batteries so that they match the polarity (+ and –) indications inside the battery compartment.

10. Connect all devices, including the 5.0, to their AC power source.

11. Press the small On/Off button on the front panel of the 5.0 (below the large Standby button) in until it clicks and catches. It will remain in and ﬂush with the unit’s front panel. Note that the word will brieﬂy ﬂash in blue and then go out, and a small green indicator will illuminate.

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.

Quick-Star t Instructions

• 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.

System Installation

The Citation 5.0 is a powerful audio controller that combines digital signal decoding, surround sound processing and a wide range of ﬂexible adjustments in one easy-to-use package. Although many aspects of the 5.0 resemble familiar audio components, the wide range of control it offers means that some of the steps in the installation process may be a bit different from traditional analog-only audio products. For that reason, it is important that you read the following section carefully, even if you are familiar with audio systems.

As a safety note, it is always good practice to make certain that the 5.0 and all equipment being installed and connected to it be turned off and unplugged from AC power sources. This prevents the possibility of accidentally sending any audio or control signals through the system that may damage

System Installation

your equipment. If you are not familiar with the intricacies of advanced audio system installation, we suggest that

you have your Citation dealer install and conﬁgure the 5.0. They are experts in multichannel audio and home theater and have received special training on all Citation products. Should you wish to install and conﬁgure the 5.0 yourself, please pay special attention to the instructions below, and throughout this manual. Proper conﬁguration of the 5.0’s many control options is essential for optimal system performance.

We also recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to external audio and video equipment. There are many brands of cables to choose from, and we suggest that you consult with your dealer to select the cables that suit your needs and budget to best preserve the quality of signals in your system.

Input Connections

Traditional audio/video products have ﬁxed source inputs that are assigned to speciﬁc products or sources. For example, VCRs are connected to an input marked “VCR” and CD players are connected to an input marked “CD.” The Citation 5.0’s ﬂexible input proﬁle system, however, allows you to connect inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio sources and composite or S-video sources, and assign them to any of twelve positions. The following instructions will guide you to making the individual connections. The actual assignment of the sources is explained in the section of this manual covering the Program Setup starting on page 37.

For simple installations, input sources may be connected using the factory preset proﬁle assignments shown at the top of page 11 or in Appendix A. There are no rules that govern what you may connect to any of the numbered inputs as long as the type of input signal matches (e.g., video sources to video inputs, audio sources to audio inputs, coax digital to coax and optical digital to optical). To assist in the setup of custom input source proﬁles, it is strongly suggested that you make a note of your connection data on the worksheet provided in Appendix B.

Audio Inputs

The Citation 5.0 accepts inputs from conventional analog audio products and both coaxial and digital audio sources. The ﬂexibility of the 5.0’s proﬁle system allows you to connect both analog and digital outputs from the same source (such as a DVD or laser disc player) and then associate each output with a separate program proﬁle. (Program proﬁles are explained on page 37.)

In addition, the 5.0 will decode both PCM digital signals and Dolby Digital (AC-3®) data. PCM digital is used by both conventional CD players or the standard digital output of a laser disc player, while Dolby Digital is used on DVD as well as high-deﬁnition television sets (HDTV), many new computer games and other future digital audio devices. Decoding for the DTS digital audio system is an optional feature of the 5.0. (Check with your dealer to determine if your 5.0 is equipped for DTS decoding.)

Analog audio input connections are made in left/right pairs to the Analog Audio Inputs¡, while digital audio connections are made to either the Coaxial or Optical Inputs

g f

. In most cases, the channel identiﬁcation on source equipment will be red inserts to the RCA plugs for the right channel, white inserts for the left channel and orange inserts for coaxial digital signals. Optical digital audio connections use a unique style of connector that is unlike standard audio plugs.

In many cases, an audio source may have both analog and digital outputs. If desired, you may connect both types of outputs to the 5.0.

When making connections, make note of the equipment connected to each input using the chart in Appendix B.

System Installation

Important Note:: Be careful not to connect audio sources to the wrong plug type. In particular,

do not make connections from the “RF” output of a laser disc player directly to the 5.0. Digital RF signals must ﬁrst be demodulated by an optional, external device, which is then connected to the 5.0 via a coax or optical digital connection. Improper connections with an RF digital source may result in damage to your equipment.

Video Inputs

Video source connections are made to either the Composite Videoeor S-Video

Inputs.When

connecting an audio/video device such as a DVD, satellite receiver, laser disc player or VCR it is a good idea to make the video and audio connections to the same input number. However, any input number may be used as long as you keep a note of which source is connected to each numbered video input.

Since the 5.0’s input proﬁle system allows you to use the same physical video input in combination with a number of different audio sources, it is typically not necessary to connect a video source to the 5.0 more than once. Once audio or video connections are made, they may not be mixed and matched or used with more than one input proﬁle. For example, the video output of a VCR or cable box may be used both with the VCR’s own audio source for normal playback, but it may also be used with the tuner so that you may watch the video of a sports broadcast along with the commentary from a radio station.

System and Accessory Inputs

If the 5.0’s front panel remote sensor is blocked by cabinet doors or other obstructions, an optional, external IR sensor may be connected to the IR Input‚. In some instances, the IR input may be connected to the IR output of another product with compatible IR systems. Consult your dealer or custom installer if you have questions concerning the use of the IR input.

The Citation Bus connector is provided for connections to and from compatible remote control equipment. Connectionss made to this jack typically require special training, and it is advisable for them to be made only by your Citation dealer.

Connect the AC Power Cord›to a non-switched AC power source that is compatible for the voltage setting of your Citation (typically 110 volts for North America, 230 volts for Europe and most other parts of the world). If you are in doubt as to the voltage requirements for your speciﬁc model check the information on the rear panel or consult your dealer. Connections to the wrong

to the matching audio inputs of your audio power ampliﬁer for the left, center and right channels. Connect the power ampliﬁer to the speakers in accordance with the instructions provided by the ampliﬁer and speaker manufacturers.

The type of speakers used in a system determines connections for the surround channels.

• When Citation, Fosgate•Audionics or Dual Drive dipole speakers are used, connect the Side

Channel Outputs

and the Back Channel Outputs•to the matching input connections on your audio power ampliﬁers. Connect the power ampliﬁer to the speakers in accordance with the instructions provided by the ampliﬁer and speaker manufacturers.

• When only one pair of conventional, point-source surround speakers is used and they are placed either on the back or side walls of a room, connect the Back Channel Outputs•on the 5.0 to the left/right surround channel inputs on your audio power ampliﬁer. Connect the power ampliﬁer to the speakers in accordance with the instructions provided by the ampliﬁer and speaker manufacturers.

If only one subwoofer is used, connect the Mono Subwoofer Output§of the 5.0 to the input of a powered subwoofer or the input of a power ampliﬁer used to drive a passive subwoofer. Consult the instructions packed with your subwoofer for speciﬁc information.

If two subwoofers are used, connect the left and right Stereo Subwoofer Outputsªto the inputs of powered subwoofers or the input of a power ampliﬁer used to drive passive subwoofers. Consult the instructions packed with your subwoofer for speciﬁc information.

Note: The factory defaults for the 5.0 are for Dual Drive dipoles and stereo subwoofers. If

your system uses another conﬁguration for either of these speakers, make certain you make the necessary adjustments to the Setup Menus as shown on pages 32 and 33.

Video Outputs

Important Note: During initial setup, connect your projector or monitor to the main composite video output; NOT the S-video output.

This is recommended because important on-screen display information is factory-programmed to appear at this output connection only. Later, after program proﬁles have been set for S-video operation (described later in the manual), these will appear at the Main S-Video Output, and your monitor may easily be disconnected from the Main Composite Video Output and reconnected to the Main S-Video Output connection.

Using high-quality 75Ω video interconnect cables with coaxial-style construction, connect the Main

and S-Video Auxiliary

Note: The 5.0’s input switching system will convert S-video inputs for display on a standard com-

posite video monitor, but it WILL NOT convert composite video signals to the S-video format. If your system uses a mix of both standard and S-video it is easiest to make connections only to the standard video input of a monitor, although that will remove the signal quality beneﬁts of an “S” connection. If both types of connections are made, it is necessary to switch your video display from composite to “S” so that the monitor’s input matches the output of the device chosen by the 5.0.

These jacks will duplicate the output signal of the sources selected for listening and viewing through the main outputs of the 5.0, but the on-screen control menus will not appear to permit “clean” recordings. Be careful not to select any recorder, whether video or audio, as a program source while that recorder is in the record mode; a feedback loop may be be created which could result in unpleasant sounds being generated. Should this occur, press MUTE (or turn the volume down), and either select another program source or take the recorder out of the record mode.

Remote Zone Outputs

The remote zone outputs of the Citation 5.0 will be fed a separate set of signals from those used in the main listening room. They may be the same as, or different from the main room signals, and they are selected using the remote control and the menu control system. Please note that only analog audio sources can be selected for distribution to a remote zone. (See page 59 for complete information on the 5.0’s multiroom capabilities.)

Additional Amplifiers

The Citation 5.0 is equipped with two separate control triggers that may be used to activate a wide variety of optional, external devices such as power ampliﬁers, projection screens, power blinds and lighting controls. As the connection and programming of these triggers may be complex, it is strongly suggested that they be installed and conﬁgured by your Citation dealer. A connection to the triggers involves voltages, which, if improperly connected, may cause damage not covered by product warranties.

When the triggers are used to power compatible audio power ampliﬁers from Citation or other manufacturers, connect the Trigger 1 Output⁄to the Trigger Input on the ampliﬁer. The factory defaults for the 5.0 will automatically send a “Power ON” signal to these ampliﬁers from both Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 when the 5.0 is turned on, and it will return them to a Standby mode when the 5.0 is turned off. To use the triggers for any other function, the Power option for trigger programming must be turned off in the System Options sub-menu titled Program Triggers. Connections for Citation power ampliﬁers are shown in the accompanying diagram.

System Installation

Figure 2 Citation Power Ampliﬁers may be controlled by connecting TRIG 1 trigger to ampliﬁer remote jacks, as shown.

Connections to other devices that operate via 6- to 12-volt trigger signals may be made by connecting either of the Trigger Outputs mini-plug.

Once the external controller or device is connected to the 5.0, the control of trigger states may be made using the menu options described on page 41. Consult the instructions supplied with the device being triggered for information on compatibility or other settings that may be required.

Important Note: When using the triggers with devices other than approved Citation products,

it is critical that the trigger voltages and connection polarities are compatible. In addition, the total load for all devices controlled by the triggers may not exceed 150mA. Due to the possibility for equipment damage and possible safety hazards caused by interconnect trigger connections, it is strongly recommended that only your Citation dealer make trigger connections. They have the training to assure that these connections are made safely and properly. Mismatched trigger connections may cause damage to equipment that is not covered by factory warranties.

System Conﬁguration

Once you have made the physical connections between the Citation 5.0 and the other equipment in your system, it is necessary to make certain adjustments that “tell” the 5.0 about the speakers and where they are located in the listening room and to make adjustments for the acoustics in the room. These adjustments will also enable you to harness the power of the 5.0’s menu system so that input sources may be grouped into proﬁles and named to suit your requirements. Finally, there are adjustments and calibrations to be made that optimize the outputs of the 5.0 to produce the best possible sound.

Speaker Selection and Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannel-home-theater system will have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the front left, center and right speakers. This creates a seamless front soundstage, and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front channel speakers.

Speaker Placement

Depending on the type of center channel speaker in use and your viewing device, place the center speaker above or below your TV or projector.

Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the left and right front speakers so that they are as far away from one another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred listening position. Ideally, the front channel speakers should be placed so that their tweeters are no more than 24" vertically off center from the tweeter in the center channel speaker.

Depending on the speciﬁcs of your room acoustics and the type of speakers in use, you may ﬁnd that imaging is improved by moving the front left and right speakers slightly forward of the center channel speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening position.

Using these guidelines, you may ﬁnd that it takes some experimentation to ﬁnd the correct location for the front speakers in your particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until the system sounds correct. Optimize your speaker positions so that pans across the front of the room sound smooth, and that sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening position at the same time.

Surround speakers should be placed on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face into the room. The speakers should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listener’s ears when in the desired area, as shown below.

screen. You may also experiment with placing the left and right speakers slightly forward of the center speaker.

At least 6 inches from ceiling

At least 2 feet

Figure 6 Speaker Placement, Side View

If side wall mounting is not practical, the speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. Again, they should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listener’s ears. The speakers should be no more than six feet behind the rear of the seating area.

Subwoofers produce non-directional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Subwoofer placement is highly inﬂuenced by room size and shape, and the type of subwoofer used. Follow the instructions provided by the subwoofer’s manufacturer, or experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room.

Initial Turn-On

Once the speakers have been installed, the next step is to calibrate and conﬁgure the 5.0 for the speciﬁcs of your installation. First, make certain that you have installed the four supplied AAA batteries in the remote control, as shown on page 18. Next, make certain that the AC Power Cord is plugged into a non-switched AC wall outlet.

You are now ready to turn on the 5.0. Before proceeding, place the Master Power button 1in the ON position by pressing it in until the switch latches and is ﬂush with the 5.0’s front panel. The

The ﬁnal preparation before proceeding with the conﬁguration is to make certain that your television, monitor, projector or other video display device is turned on, and that it is adjusted so that the 5.0 is the current video input. At this point you should also make one last check that all sources, ampliﬁers and speakers are properly connected to the 5.0, plugged into AC power, turned on or in their Standby mode.

The ﬁrst step in the conﬁguration is to program the 5.0 so that it “knows” what kind of speakers are connected. This information, pertaining to the number and type of speakers installed, not their brand or model, establishes the bass management for the 5.0.

To begin the process, press the Menu button ˙and note that the Main Menu (Figure OSD-3) will appear. Please note that system response to programming commands is slow due to the large size of the program in the 5.0’s microprocessor.

The ﬁrst three lines tell the system if the speakers used are capable of extended low-frequency reproduction. When making a setting, use the following as a guideline:

SMALL: Select this setting if the speakers are satellite-type speakers that are not capable of

reproducing low-frequency information below 100Hz.

LARGE: Select this setting if the speakers are traditional, full-range loudspeakers. Note: The words LARGE and SMALL do not refer to the actual size of the speakers, but their

ability to handle low-frequency information. However, full-range speakers are typically larger in size than frequency-limited satellite speakers since they usually include large woofers.

Note: If you wish to retain the factory preset that appears on any menu line, simply press the

only when a special LFE track is detected from the playback of a Dolby Digital source. When this option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to any of the other speaker channels that are conﬁgured to the LARGE setting.

• Select NONE when no subwoofers are installed.

Note: As is the case with many of the menu settings, the speaker setup is a highly interactive

process. In order to prevent the selection of incorrect system conﬁgurations, the 5.0 automatically prevents certain selections from being made when the result would cause possible damage to speakers, or an unacceptable sound ﬁeld. For example, the LFE ONLY subwoofer option will only appear when at least one of the other speaker channels is set to the LARGE setting. This assures that low-frequency sounds will not be sent to speakers incapable of handling it, while making certain that there is some means to reproduce low-frequency sounds through your system. When menu items described in this manual do not appear, it does NOT indicate a fault with the 5.0. Rather, it means that the system’s internal safeguards have blocked an inappropriate choice.

When you have ﬁnished with the speaker type conﬁgurations, press the so that Speaker Distances Ð> is highlighted. Press the

to the Speaker Distances menu.

Note: Whenever a “Ð>” appears at the end of a menu line, this is the indication that there is an

additional sub-menu that contains the choices or option listings for the main menu line item.

At this point you should have the measurements from each of the speakers to the prime listening position, or “sweet spot.” The information from these distances will be used by the 5.0 to automatically calculate the delay times used in the various modes. Accurate data is important for optimal system performance.

For accurate imaging, the distance from the center channel speaker to the left- and right- front speakers should be equal. The distance between either the left-front or right-front speaker and the prime listening position, or “sweet spot” should be identical.

Program Setup

The Citation 5.0 may be programmed with up to twelve separate program proﬁles, each of which may combine any of the audio and video inputs along with various source controls. Once these proﬁles are established, they may be assigned to either the “Watch” or “Listen” menus, or both, for easy selection.

The 5.0 is shipped with factory defaults for program proﬁles as shown in Appendix A, but these generic choices may be edited to suit the speciﬁc need of your system as shown below.

To modify the individual program proﬁles to suit your system preferences and signal sources, press the Menu button ˙and note that the Main Menu (Figure OSD-3) appears. Press the

Control

press the

button six times until the words Program Setup are highlighted on the screen. Next,

Figure OSD-8

The second line, just below the line indicating how to return to the “Main Menu,” contains the program number. Remember that this number only deﬁnes the sources and conditions that you attach to it in the following steps. It DOES NOT refer to any speciﬁc input connection on the 5.0’s rear panel.

Before proceeding it is a good idea to have a chart of which input sources are connected to each of the rear panel inputs. This will speed the installation process. A worksheet for this purpose is contained in Appendix B. It is also a good idea to review the factory default settings, as they may provide a starting point from which to model your system.

System Conﬁguration

To select a program to customize, press the lighted. Next press ‹or

Menu Control buttons to select the Program Proﬁle that you wish to

edit. When the Program Proﬁle number appears, press the

Menu Control button so that Program is high-

is highlighted. This option permits you to change the name associated with this proﬁle to a name that describes the

input source. This name will appear whenever the Program Proﬁle is selected in both the front panel and on screen displays. Use any name that best suits your system requirements, such as “VCR-1,” “Cable Box” or any other descriptive phrase that helps you to remember which combination of audio and video equipment is connected to this Program Proﬁle.

Menu Control buttons to scroll through the list of input numbers. Note

that inputs 1 through 6 are preﬁxed “A,” as they are analog inputs. Inputs 7 through 10 are coaxial (electrical) digital, while 11 and 12 are optical digital inputs; all are preﬁxed “D”. Unlike the Program Proﬁle numbers, these numbers DO correspond directly to the rear input connection numbers. In addition, as you scroll through the inputs you will hear the source through the system to verify that you have selected the proper input.

After selecting the audio input to be associated with this program, the choices on the balance of the menu will change. One set of menu choices (Figure OSD-8 on page 37) appears when an analog input, which are inputs A1 through A6, is selected, while a different set of choices (Figure OSD-9 on page 39) appears when one of the digital inputs, which are D7 through D12, are selected.

For the analog inputs, press the

Menu Control button so that Input Level is highlighted.

This is best done with the source in the Play mode with a representative program playing. While the source is playing, press the ‹or

›

Menu Control buttons so that the front panel input level indica-

tors show a constant indication between the +0 and +3 marks. This is done to compensate for audio sources which have either low or high outputs, to ensure that the surround-sound decoding circuits in the 5.0 have the proper amount of signal to work with. It also ensures that as various audio sources are selected, their levels are approximately equal.

When this adjustment is completed, press the

or enter a manual offset from a balanced center position (+00dB). Normally, no adjustment should be needed, but if a source always seems to favor one channel or the other, the imbalance may be corrected on this line.

If you have selected a digital audio input, the 5.0 will not display either the Input Level or

Input Balance choices, as they are not applicable to digital sources. Instead, the next menu item

after Audio Input will be Auto Detect, with choices of OFF or ON (Figure OSD-9).

Figure OSD-9

When the factory defalut of (Auto Detect ON) is in place, the 5.0 will automatically test an incoming digital signal to determine which type of decoding should be applied, such as Dolby Digital, PCM or DTS (when the DTS module is installed).

System Conﬁguration

To “force” a certain method of processing to be tried on an incoming signal, press the ‹or

Control

button so that the choice moves to OFF. In this position, the 5.0 will always try the default-selected digital mode ﬁrst. If that mode is not appropriate to the incoming signal, it will then change to the correct mode.

Whether the audio input was analog or digital, the next menu choice is the selection of the program’s video source.

By pressing the video sources or 2 S-video sources may be selected to associate with the program being customized. Two other choices are NONE and OFF. Choosing NONE creates a purely audio program (e.g., CD, Tape). If NONE is selected, and a video monitor is in use, a blue background will be generated for the video display. The OFF setting sends NO signal to any connected video display device, preventing those video projectors whose power is controlled by the presence of an input signal to remain “off”.

Note: Choosing OFF selects no video input, and also disables the on-screen display; it will be

necessary to use the front panel display until the on-screen is reactivated by selecting any video source choice but OFF.

After selecting the video input for the program, the next choice to be made is whether the onscreen display will be active when this program is selected. Use the highlight the words OSD Display and use either the ‹or or OFF.

Please note that, as in the selection of a video source in the preceding step, selecting OFF will cause the on-screen display to blank, and you will have to refer to the front panel display to continue. Or, if no other menu control buttons have been pressed, simply depress either the ‹or button once; the on-screen display will reappear.

As described earlier, a typical use for Trigger 1 is to turn on audio power ampliﬁers. If you are using power ampliﬁer(s) which may be controlled by 6- to 12-volt trigger signals (see the Speciﬁcations section on page 69), Trigger 1 would be set to be ON for all programs.

Typical uses for Trigger 2 would be the control of devices associated with video sources. These include motorized screens and light-control devices such as electrically-operated blinds or shades. If this is what a Trigger 2 will be used for in your installation, it would be set to ONonly in programs with which a video source is associated, and would be left OFF in audio-only programs.

System Conﬁguration

System Options

There are a number of secondary system controls, many of a “housekeeping” nature, whose settings are normally set only once, at the time of installation. These are set at the factory to suit the needs of most users, and need not be adjusted unless you wish to change one or more settings. These adjustments are grouped in the “System Options” menu.

If you do not need to change the details of the on-screen video display, are not adding infrared sensors to the system, how loud the system is when it is turned on or set to Mute, or the operation of the two trigger outputs, you may now turn to “Operating the Citation 5.0” on page 44. You may always return to these adjustments at a later time, should you decide to change one or more settings.

To enter the System Options menu, press the Menu button ˙and then the

The next option listed is the choice of video standards. The choices, selected with either the ‹or

Menu Control buttons are NTSC or NTSC + PAL. NTSC (National Television Standards

›

Committee) is the technique used in North America, parts of South America and many Asian countries to encode color in television broadcasts, and PAL (Phase Alternate Line) is the system used in Europe and most other parts of the world. If NTSC is chosen (the suggested choice for North America), all video sources used with the 5.0 will be assumed to be of that standard. If NTSC +

PAL is chosen, an additional line will be added to each program proﬁle.

Important Note: Changing this setting WILL NOT convert video signals from one format to the

other. It only adjusts the 5.0’s internal display circuitry to operate with one standard or the other.

Your 5.0 was shipped preset for the video standard in use in your area. Do not change under normal circumstances. If you do, and your video monitoring devices are not set to operate in the same standard, the video display will lose color, and may become unvie wable. Press the

Control

button to move to the next adjustment.

The next item on the System Options menu, IR Mode, determines whether the 5.0 will respond to control signals aimed at the sensor on the front panel, via an external pickup device connected to the

IR In jack

‚

on the rear panel, or both.

Important Note: Do NOT change this setting unless an external infrared sensor is installed, as

you may lose the ability to control the 5.0 if its front panel sensor is turned off and no external sensor is connected. If this happens, the system will have to be reset (covered in a later section of this manual), which will erase all user programming. (See page 59.)

Power On Vol is the next setting that appears on the System Options menu. This setting deter-

mines the volume level to which the 5.0 returns each time it is turned on, initially set to 3. As there is no conventional volume-control knob to indicate the volume setting when power is off, this prevents any possibility of unpleasantly loud sound (or even damage to loudspeakers) when the 5.0 is turned on, regardless of how far the volume was advanced when it was last turned off. To adjust this setting, play a typical audio source and use the

Figure OSD-11

This menu is divided into two sections, one for each of the two trigger jacks on the rear panel. The trigger jacks may be used to control accessory devices designed to accept 6- to 12-volt control signals, as described in the “Program Setup” section of this manual starting on page 37. The settings for the bottom section, affecting Trigger 2, are set in a similar fashion.

The state of the ﬁrst line determines whether the trigger is activated when the main listening area is in use, or the remote zone is in use. If set (by pressing the ‹or

when the remote zone is in use, no other options are available. If set to operate when the MAIN listening area is in use, three options are available, appearing on the next three lines.

The ﬁrst option, Power, activates the trigger whenever the 5.0 is turned on. This is the most com- mon use for Trigger 1, using it to control the power ampliﬁer(s) used in conjunction with the

5.0. If you wish to select this option, highlight Power by pressing the then press the

will be turned off and on automatically by the 5.0. If thePower option is selected to control the trigger, the next two choices, Mute and Display Dim

will have no effect on the trigger. If Power is NOT selected, then either (or both) of these lines may be set to ON by highlighting the line(s) and using the line(s) to ON. This will result in the trigger signal being present when either the Mute function has been selected or the Display has been dimmed, or both, depending on the selections you have made.

After setting the conditions under which Trigger 1 is activated, you may use the bottom section of this screen to set the conditions under which Trigger 2 is activated. If you are using Trigger 2 to activate video-related accessories (turning on a video projector, activating an electrically-operated screen, and so on), you may simply “tell” the 5.0 to turn Trigger 2 on when video sources are selected by use of the last option in the Program Setup menu (see page 39). You may wish, however, to use it to control some other function which you could then activate by dimming the display of the 5.0. This is a very handy “extra” remote control function!

Setting the Balance and Level Trims

Unlike conventional stereo receivers, where left/right balance is often adjusted, the true “balance” controls for a surround receiver should not normally be adjusted. Sound level balance should be adjusted using the Output Level Adjustments in the Speaker Setup menu. (See the Speaker Setup section starting on page 32 for more information.) However, when the seating positions in a room are temporarily changed, or when you wish to adjust the left/right balance or front/back fade to accommodate a particular piece of program material or the tastes of a different listener, that is easy to do.

Output Level Adjustment Trims

The main output level adjustments for the 5.0 should be made using the internal test tone, following the procedures outlined in the section of this manual describing Sound Level Calibration (see page 35). However, in some instances you may wish to change the levels using an external test signal generator, a test disc or some familiar piece of audio program material. The 5.0 permits these adjustments to be made, though they are not recommended as a substitute for initial calibration using the internal generator.

To trim the output levels using an external source, ﬁrst follow the procedures outlined for Sound Level Calibration as shown on page 35. Next, make certain that the proper input source is selected.

To begin the procedure, press the Balance Control button µtwice. The ﬁrst press will bring up the standard balance level adjustments. The second press will take you to the Trim Speaker Levels menu (Figure OSD-24). When the menu appears, use the lower the output level. Note that the changes from the internally-set levels will appear as a positive or negative offset below the speaker position indicator.

These are functions used only occasionally, or associated with a remote zone; “hiding” them under this sliding panel keeps the remote control’s main panel uncluttered, and the frequently used buttons easy to access. The action of each button will be seen on the front panel and on the video display as each is pressed.

Operating the Citation 5.0

The group of three Center Mode Adjustments buttons Oon the ﬁrst row of the remote control’s subpanel control the center channel. The ﬁrst button turns the center channel On and Off with alternate presses. The button marked Wide creates a diffuse center soundstage by feeding a small amount of the center channel signal into the left and right front channel speakers. The third button of this group Boosts the center channel level to create a slightly narrower soundstage.

The next button is the Mono Mode Selector}. Pressing this button will switch the system into monophonic mode when pressed, returning to the previous mode when pressed a second time.

The last button in the top row is the Reset button {. Pressing this button allows quick resetting of the system’s Surround modes and program proﬁles to factory default settings (Figure OSD-25), also possible using the System Reset menus which are explained in detail in the Advanced Features section of this manual. When this menu appears, pressing the the Surround modes; pressing the button be pressed accidentally, simply press the Cancel button ©.

Surround Modes

The Citation 5.0 offers the user several modes of surround sound, which can be divided into two major categories and sub-categories. A discussion follows to shed some light on what can be a confusing subject.

First, there is a division between “discrete 5.1” and “derived” types of materials. The ﬁrst, “Discrete

5.1,” includes Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS. While differing in technical details, these sources (primarily available on DVD) provide ﬁve discrete, completely separate, channels of information for the left, center and right front channels, and two stereo surround channels, plus a 6th channel used for limited-bandwidth subwoofer-directed sounds and special low-frequency effects, most frequently explosion, cannon ﬁre, etc.

V W

toggle the settings of these control signals

The reality of “5+” wide-bandwidth, completely separated (“discrete”) channels provides the most realistic surround sound possible with virtually no compromises necessary in reproduction. Whether Dolby Digital or DTS, this type of multichannel recording, both for movies and musical performances, will be the predominant form of recording now that the DVD is here; a low-cost, very highperformance medium with sufﬁcient “space available” for long-playing video and multichannel audio. The 5.0 has Dolby Digital decoding circuitry built in; DTS operation will be available in the

5.0 factory-installed, or as an upgrade for Dolby Digital-only units in the ﬁeld. Contact your authorized Citation dealer for details. This manual will assume that your 5.0 has this option as it describes various surround operating modes.

The second division of types of Surround modes occurs among older movie sound tracks and conventional two-channel stereo musical recordings. These can be divided into two sub-categories; those which were recorded with speciﬁc surround information encoding, and those which were not. In both cases, more than two channels can be “derived” during playback to provide surround sound.

The 5.0 contains circuitry to provide surround decoding appropriate for both of these types of program material, and will provide convincing surround performance even from older audio and video sources which were not speciﬁcally encoded for surround-sound operation, but from which information can be extracted to simulate various room spaces and effects to add to the musical or theatrical experience.

Important Note: Certain Surround modes are available only from certain sources. Dolby Digital

and DTS signals are ONLY available from audio and video recordings made speciﬁcally for Dolby Digital or DTS reproduction, and only from DVD players, laser disc players equipped with RF modulators or some computer sound cards.

Operating the Citation 5.0

The conventional PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) digital signal from a CD or laser disc player, whether in electrical or optical form, and all analog signals, contain only two discrete channels of information, and can only be used for derived modes of surround sound.

Movie Modes vs. Music Modes

In addition to the Dolby Digital and DTS formats, clearly associated with either movies or music, according to the disc being played, the several surround-sound modes available in the 5.0 can be roughly divided between those primarily intended for use when watching movies, and those more suited for music listening. The Movie modes are designed for use with surround-encoded material; usually movies, but also many television programs, radio broadcasts (frequently NPR and BBC offerings), audio CDs and video games that have been mixed for multichannel audio playback and recorded with surround information.

Lists of surround-encoded movies and television programs may be obtained from Dolby Laboratories. In North America, contact them at (415) 558-0344; In Europe, at (44) 1-793-842-100. The 5.0’s Movie modes are Dolby Pro Logic and 70mm.

Music modes, conversely, utilize special circuitry to create multichannel audio from standard twochannel, or stereo, audio recordings. Use the modes when listening to conventional recordings watching two-channel television programs. Music modes incorporated in the 5.0 include Classical Rock, Jazz, 2-Channel, 3-Channel and Party.

6-Axis, exclusive to Citation, is equally suited for both encoded and non-encoded programs and recordings. This may well be the most universal of the Citation 5.0’s derived Surround modes, ideal for movies and music.

Selecting Surround Modes

When you select a source to watch or listen to, the last Surround mode used with that source will automatically be chosen. You may change the Surround mode at any time in several ways. One way is to press the buttons on the remote control; press the Dolby Mode Selectors button ¬for Dolby Pro Logic, which is always available. If you are using a source for which Dolby Digital is an appropriate choice, a second press of the same button will switch to that mode of operation. Pressing the

6-Axis, Stereo or Party Pre-programmed Mode Selectors selects these modes, whose settings are

listed starting on page 51 of this manual. Another way to change the Surround mode is to press either the Cust 1, Cust 2 or Cust 3 Custom Mode Selectors∆on the remote control. These buttons are factory preset to Surround mode proﬁle settings which have been found most pleasing to typical users. A typical Surround mode proﬁle includes the mode type, such as 70mm, or Jazz, highand low-frequency equalization settings, adjustments for surround and center speaker levels, amount of time the signal is delayed before being sent to the surround speakers (an important aspect of derived surround sound decoding), and the setting for Panorama, a special feature that can be set to expand the width of program material in three user-selectable steps.

Operating the Citation 5.0

Note: The 5.0 will only allow appropriate choices of Surround mode; it will, as example, ignore

any “requests” for the Dolby Digital or DTS modes when the chosen program source cannot or is not providing the appropriate signal.

Surround Mode Deﬁnitions

Movie Modes

Dolby Pro Logic is the consumer version of the system used in theaters to separate two channels of

sound from a movie sound track into separate left, center, right and surround channels. In this mode, the surround channel is mono, and limited in bandwidth. Pro Logic is a good starting point when you are choosing a Surround mode to use when listening to a movie or a surround-encoded broadcast or video game.

70mm is a Jim Fosgate design exclusive to Citation, based on Dolby Pro Logic. To increase the

excitement level of surround-encoded materials, the 70mm mode uses Citation's ultra fast decoding logic and extended bandwidth in the surround channels. In this mode the back (surround) channels are capable of response up to 12kHz, rather than the lower limit of 7kHz mandated for Pro Logic circuits by Dolby Laboratories. Although even higher bandwidth is possible in the surround channels, 12kHz was chosen to preserve spectral balance in your listening room (A higher frequency range for the surrounds is not advisable as the listener is typically located closer to the speakers at home than they would be in a mover theater.) Finally, there is some controlled blending of the left/right front-channel information into the left and right back channels. This delivers an increased sense of spaciousness from most sound tracks.

The 70mm mode is excellent for use with any recording or broadcast that contains matrix-sound encoding.

6-Axis, described fully in the “Music Modes” section which follows, is an excellent surround mode

for movies, as well.

Music Modes

Conventional, non-encoded two-channel recordings present a challenge when we try to reproduce them in multichannel. Unlike most modern movie sound tracks, which incorporate information to direct the microprocessor as to the proper location of speciﬁc audio signals, non-encoded recordings contain no such clues. While the use of Digital Soundﬁeld Processing (DSP) can provide realistic surround-sound effects, its use frequently also results in a degradation of the quality of the sound, frequently as a “harshness” not originally present in the recordings.

Using Citation’s proprietary surround matrix designs and 6-Axis Steering Logic technology, the 5.0 overcomes the limitations frequently associated with DSP. By carefully analyzing the spatial clues and ambient reﬂections which are part of most stereo recordings, the ultrafast steering logic of the 5.0, along with other proprietary circuitry, enables the soundﬁeld processor to produce a pleasing and accurate multichannel soundﬁeld from many types of two-channel recordings.

As with “Movies,” experimentation is the key to enjoyment. The Modes’ names are a guide as to what type of music they were designed for, but experiment and see which modes sound best in your listening environment.

Rock employs extremely fast steering logic, minimal delay in the stereo back channels, making it a

good choice for popular music.

Jazz is perfect for vocal or acoustic music and new-age recordings. It features a wide center

front-stage soundstage and a diffuse, deep back-channel sound.

Class (Classical) is designed for use with large orchestral or acoustic recordings, particularly those

made in large concert halls. In this mode, the center speaker is off. The speed of the steering logic is slower in this mode, to accommodate the long transient times in classical recordings, and the surround delay is increased to simulate the way sound travels in a concert hall.

Operating the Citation 5.0

2-Channel is a two-channel stereo presentation of digital sources, often referred to as Lt and Rt. 3-Channel is similar to 2-Channel, with the addition of a center channel. No surround information

is utilized.

Party produces a stereo image in both the front and rear channel speakers; no processing is done to

the signal.

6-Axis is a Citation-developed method of extracting surround-sound information from both encoded

and conventional stereo analog sources. It is a very convincing method of extracting and reproducing the original ambience of a recording, due in large part to its ability to provide stereo, not mono (as in Pro Logic), signals to the surround loudspeakers, and to create a sixth “phantom” soundsource in the center rear of the listening room. This creates a “sixth axis” where there is no loudspeaker, greatly adding to the sense of realism.

Whether working with encoded or two-channel stereo, the reproduction of derived multichannel surround sound cannot be as exact as that provided by the 5.1 discrete channels of DVD. Some degree of control and variability of how the channels are derived, steered to the correct loudspeakers, delayed and equalized tonally are necessary, and are provided in the 5.0 as different modes of surround decoding, many of which can be modiﬁed by the user. (See the description of the Customize Modes menu in the “Advanced Features” section of this Manual, page 55.)

Customizing Surround Modes

Custom Surround modes may be deﬁned in the Customize Modes menu. Each Surround mode has attributes which may be changed by the user, such as low- and high-frequency response, and the relative volume level of the center channel, subwoofer, and surround channels with respect to the “main,” or front left and right, channels.

This menu allows you to quickly and easily modify any of the 5.0’s Surround modes for optimum performance in your listening environment.

Depending on the program source which was last selected, different choices will be presented when you are in the Customize Surround Mode menu. Choices appropriate for analog sources will appear if the last source watched or listened to was analog; choices more suitable for digital sources will appear if the last chosen source was digital and a digital Surround mode (e.g., Dolby Digital or DTS) was used.

The same general format and procedure is followed in both cases, however: After choosing which button on the remote control you wish to have select a customized Surround

mode, select the mode to associate with that button and then the particular attribute(s) of that mode to be changed. The last step is to select the value for that attribute(s) from among the choices offered.

Because there are seven buttons and many Surround modes, a half-dozen or so attributes associated with each mode, and several choices for each attribute to be set to, there is a very large number of ways you can customize the 5.0!

when they are selected by their dedicated buttons.

If you have selected any Mode Button other then Dolby or 6-Axis, you may now press the

›

Menu Control button to cycle through a variety of modes with attributes that can be customized.

The (analog) modes available are: Movie 2, Movie 3, Music 2, Music 3, 6-Axis, Pro

Logic, Party, Rock, Class(ical), 70mm, 2-CHNL, 3-CHNL and Jazz.

(While Dolby and 6-Axis chosen directly by pressing buttons ¬and cannot be modiﬁed, those Surround modes can be modiﬁed when selected on the Mode Type line.)

Each of these modes is factory set to produce pleasing surround effects in the majority of typical listening environments. You may want to use the original settings for awhile before making any changes, although you may easily reset all modes to their factory settings by using the Reset

Modes option on the System Reset menu (see page 59).

A brief description of these Surround modes is presented starting on page 50 of this manual. To view and modify any of the attributes of these modes, select that mode’s name on line two by

pressing the

Control Control

›

Menu Control button until that mode is seen, and then pressing the ¤Menu

button to move down to the attribute you wish to modify and then using the

›

button to change the setting to the new value. Note that the Status line cannot be

changed; its purpose is only to indicate whether the mode selected has been changed from factory settings. Once an attribute’s value is changed, the Status line changes from DEFAULT (factory setting) to MODIFIED.

Note: Even if the attribute is changed back to its original setting, the word MODIFIED remains

displayed unless and until the Surround Modes are reset using the System Reset options.

Changes that can be made to analog sources include adding bass boost (but not bass cut) in increments of 2dB up to a maximum of 8dB. After highlighting the line which reads Bass EQ,

›

use the

Menu Control button to increase the bass boost, and the ‹Menu Control button

to decrease it. The next line Filters, refers to high-frequency response modiﬁcation in the surround speakers

only. Use the ‹and

Shelf, 12kHz, 7kHz and HI EQ.

›

Menu Control buttons to move through the choices, which are None,

• Choosing None maintains full bandwidth in the surround channels.

• Selecting Shelf inserts a ﬁlter which reduces response in the rear speakers above 12kHz by approximately 6dB. The rollofff of high frequencies begins at 6kHz.

• If 12kHz or 7kHz is chosen, that sets the highest audio frequency that the surround channels will produce before attenuation begins.

• HI EQ may be desirable when watching a move to re-equalize the sound tracks, originally mixed and equalized for use in commercial theaters, to a tonal balance more appropriated for a home theater. Home acoustics may make cinema sound overly bright, and may cause listener fatigue and harshness. HI EQ, which affects all channels, will avoid this problem.

The next two lines allow you to increase or decrease the level in the surround speakers and/or the center speaker. Simply highlight the desired line with the the ‹and

speakers. This should be set to suit your particular taste, anywhere between 0 and 30mSec, or thousandths of a second, the maximum recommendation for home environments. (This delay is in addition to the front-to-back delay programmed during the Speaker Setup procedure.)

The last attribute that can be changed in the analog Surround modes is called Panaroma. Selecting the MINIMUM, MEDIUM or MAXIMUM settings progressively expands the front soundstage, particularly useful when listening to program material with little channel separation. Experiment with Panaroma with different program source material to see the improvement it can bring.

Customizing Digital Sources

Customizing digital sources is done similarly, although there are some differences in the modes that can be customized, and the attributes that can be changed.

Select a digital source, and a uniquely digital Surround mode, such as DTS (in units that incorporate this option) or Dolby Digital. Press the Menu button ˙. When Main Menu appears, press the

Menu Control button twice to highlight Customize Modes. Press the ›Menu Control button

to bring up this menu (Figure OSD-30), and you will see a menu similar, but not identical, to

that used for customizing analog sources.

Advanced Features

The choices on the ﬁrst line, Mode Buttons, from which you may select are Dolby¬, and

Cust 1, Cust 2, and Cust 3

are quite different than those offered for use with analog sources. For digital sources, the mode choices are: Dolby Digital, Late Night 1, Late Night 2,

Late Night 3, Pro Logic, Class(ical), Mono, Panorama, DTS and Stereo.

While many of these modes are identical or similar to those presented for analog sources, some are unique to digital sound reproduction.

Modes described as Late Night restrict the dynamic range of the program material to avoid disturbing other household members. These modes tend to reduce the level of loud passages, and increase the level of quiet passages so that a uniform sound level is maintained. Not that music may still be played as quietly, or loudly, as desired, but that quiet and loud passages will be closer together in level.

Several Late Night modes can be selected to accommodate different types of sources one might be playing in the evening; music, videos and so on. Late Night 1 restricts the dynamic range moderately; Late Night 2 and Late Night 3 restricts the dynamic range progressively more severely.

Advanced Features

• Stereo reproduces the front left and right channels through those speakers only.

• Mono invokes enhancement circuitry which create an enveloping soundﬁeld from a monophonic input signal; it can be a signiﬁcant improvement when watching movies with mono sound.

Once you have selected a mode to customize, you will ﬁnd many of the same attributes listed which may be modiﬁed to your preference as were associated with analog modes.

Two different attributes which may be modiﬁed are the last two on the menu (Figure OSD-30). They are Subs Level and Auto Mode Sel.

• Subs Level gives the user the ability to raise or lower the sound level coming from the subwoofer(s) when a particular mode is chosen. Use the ›or

‹

Menu Control buttons to raise or

lower the subwoofer level as desired.

• Auto Mode Sel(ect), when turned off, will mute the 5.0 if the signal is of a type other than selected on the MODE line above. For example, if, on the MODE line, DTS has been selected and a Dolby Digital source is fed to the 5.0, it will mute until either a DTS signal is supplied or another mode is selected.

Remote Zone

If you have connected an ampliﬁer, remote infrared sensor and video monitor to the appropriate rear panel connections of the 5.0, people in a secondary location in your home will be able to select signal sources and volume levels independent of what is selected in the primary zone. It is not necessary for the 5.0 to be turned on; power (for the 5.0) can also be controlled from the second zone.

It will be necessary to equip the remote zone with its own remote control, as all selections are made via the controls under the Secondary Control Cover on the remote.

Setting Up the Remote Zone

The various options available to conﬁgure the remote zone are accessed through the Remote Zone menu. Press the Menu button ˙on the remote control, and then press the

Remote Zone Operation

To operate the 5.0 in the remote zone, simply press any of the six Remote Zone Analog Input buttons Runder the sliding panel on the remote control. (These are the only inputs able to be sent to the remote zone. Digital sources cannot be selected.) Pressing one of these buttons will turn the

5.0 on if it was off, and feed the selected audio (and associated video) into the remote zone. If the

video monitor is on in the primary zone, and the Remote Zone menu option Rem Zone Msgs is on, the status of the remote zone will be displayed on it and the front panel display until they time out. If this option has not been chosen, operation of the remote zone will not be reported to the displays in the main zone.

If the Remote Zone menu option for VARIABLE remote zone volume was chosen, the volume may be controlled by use of the Remote Zone Volume buttons S. Otherwise, the remote zone volume level is ﬁxed. In either case, local audio may be muted by pressing the Remote Zone Mute button T; a second push will restore the audio.

When a remote zone session is complete, pressing the Remote Zone Off button Uwill turn of the signal feeds to the remote zone, and, if the main zone is not in use, will put the 5.0 into standby.

Advanced Features

System Reset

There are certain circumstances under which you may wish to return entire sections of custom programming to the factory default settings. The 5.0 is sufﬁciently ﬂexible to allow four different types of reset. The ﬁrst three reset only the (surround) Modes, Programs and Calibration Parameters (speakers setup details). The fourth is a System reset, returning ALL user modiﬁcations to original factory settings.

The ﬁrst three choices are:

• Reset Modes — Select this if you wish to make many changes to the Customer or Party Surround modes, starting from the original settings.

• Reset Programs — If you wish to reset the Program choices to the original settings.

• Reset Calib Params — This would be used if you are moving your loudspeakers, or are changing (or adding) loudspeakers.

The last choice, System Reset may cure abnormal system or display operation due to erratic operation of the system’s memory or microprocessor. Before attempting a system reset, try turning the 5.0 off using the Master Power button 1. After pushing this button so that it returns to the “out” position, unplug the 5.0 from the wall outlet for at least three minutes, then reconnect the plug, push the Master Power button 1on, and see if the problem has been corrected. If not, a System Reset may correct the problem.

Warranty Period

Citation products are warranted for 5 years from date of original purchase.

Who Is Protected By This Warranty

Your Citation warranty protects the original owner provided that the Citation product was purchased from an authorized dealer. A copy of the original dated bill must be presented whenever warranty service is required. Please attach a copy of your bill of sale to this warranty statement and put it in a safe place.

What Is Covered

Your Citation warranty covers all defects in material and workmanship with the following exceptions. These are: (1) damage caused by accident, unreasonable use or neglect (including the lack of reasonable and necessary maintenance); (2) damage occurring during shipment (claims must be presented to the carrier); (3) damage to or deterioration of any accessory or decorative surface; (4) damage resulting from failure to follow instructions contained in your owner’s manual; (5) damage resulting from the performance of repairs by someone other than an authorized Citation warranty station; (6) damage caused by the installation of parts that do not conform to Citation speciﬁcations; (7) any Citation unit on which the serial number has been effaced, modiﬁed or removed; (8) units used for other than home use. This warranty covers only actual defects within the product itself, and does not cover the cost of installation

or removal from a ﬁxed installation, or normal setup adjustments. It does not cover claims based on misrepresentation by the seller or performance variations resulting from installation related circumstances such as source quality or AC power.

How To Obtain War ranty Service

If your Citation product ever needs service, please call your authorized dealer or installer. You’ll need to present a copy

Limited U.S. and Canadian Warranty

Who Pays For What

Citation will pay all labor and material expenses for all repairs covered by this warranty. If necessary repairs not

covered by this warranty, or a unit is examined which is not in need of repair, you will be charged for the repairs or

examination. The owner must pay any shipping charges incurred in getting your Citation product to an authorized

Citation warranty station. We will pay reasonable shipping charges to any location in the United States if the repairs

are covered under the warranty. Please be sure to save the original shipping cartons, because a nominal charge will be

Implied warranties of merchantability and ﬁtness for a particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this

warranty, unless otherwise provided by State law.

Exclusions of Certain Damages.

Citation’s liability is limited to the repair or replacement, at our option, of any defective product and shall in no event

include incidental or consequential damages of any kind. Citation reserves the right to replace a discontinued model

with a comparable model. Any replacement units or parts may be new or rebuilt.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion of

incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you speciﬁc legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

This warranty is applicable in the United States and Canada only. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, please contact your

local authorized Citation distributor for warranty and service information.
