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.
11
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.

Caution: Never make or remove any connections to the Citation 5.0 with the Master Power
button 1in the “ON” position. It is also good practice to make certain that any power ampli­fiers connected to the 5.0 are also turned off when making or removing any connections. This eliminates the risk of possible damage to your speakers or other system components.
When making connections to the Citation 5.0 make certain that the input plug is firmly seated in the input jack. This prevents intermittent connections which may interfere with performance.

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.
